A slip system refers to a metallurgical occurrence when deformation planes are formed on a metal's surface or its intergranular boundaries due to applied forces. It is the primary criteria for plastic deformation in a material, which may make it more susceptible to failure or corrosion. View Full Term

Misconceptions abound regarding corrosion under insulation (CUI). From imperfect coatings and wet insulation dynamics, to design flaws that trap water, the proper management of CUI requires a clear understanding of common thermal and mechanical issues.

It is a myth that if the right coating is put on after excellent surface prep, everything will be fine, regardless of the insulation.
If Copper is a Noble Metal then Why Are My Pipes Corroding?
If the jacketing on the insulation is not damaged and nasty-looking for hundreds of feet of piping there is not likely CUI on the steel. Wrong!
The five key factors present in corrosive soils are aeration, moisture content, dissolved salt content, soil acidity (pH) and temperature.
There is no such thing as a perfect coating. In this article we explore a common myth of corrosion under insulation.
Contact between dissimilar metals can be detrimental and result in bimetallic corrosion (also known as galvanic corrosion).
There are a number of measures that can be taken to mitigate the effects of fretting corrosion, which fall into two approaches: fretting movement prevention and corrosion prevention.
Accidents caused by corrosion alone are very few, but uniform corrosion can accelerate structural failure when combined with other damage mechanisms.
