A tee joint refers to the welded point of two metallic materials that are joined in the same plane at a 180° combined angle with a 90° angle on either side, forming the letter “T”. Welded tee joints are often prone to excess porosity, increased moisture entrapment, cracking and… View Full Term

How to Avoid Chelant-Based Corrosion in a Boiler System’s Water Pipes
By: Della Anggabrata
Many techniques such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and x-ray diffraction (XRD) can be employed to provide vital information about corrosion products.

Ferrous metals contain iron while non-ferrous metals do not. This minor difference, however, gives each type of metal distinct characteristics (magnetism, oxidation, tensile strength) that lend them to different applications.
Corrosion rate conversion is important when measuring the corrosion rate (the velocity at which metal is lost) of equipment or a metallic structure such as a bridge, pipeline, tank or pressure vessel to evaluating the structure’s condition.
