    Corrosion Failures

    Uploaded by

    Syarief Nahdi
    Corrosion is an electrochemical process that results in the degradation of metals. It occurs most often in aqueous, ionic environments and results in the oxidation of metals into ions that combine with other species to form compounds like oxides or hydroxides. There are two main types of corrosion: uniform corrosion, which causes a consistent loss of material over the entire exposed surface, and localized corrosion, which acts on small portions of a component at a much higher rate. Common forms of localized corrosion include crevice, pitting, galvanic, stress-corrosion cracking, and erosion corrosion. Methods to prevent corrosion include coatings, inhibitors, cathodic protection, alloy selection, and design changes.

    Analysis of CorrosionRelated Failures

    Uniform corrosion Localized corrosion

    Uniform corrosion
    Uniform corrosion is the most common form of corrosion. Its mechanism is electrochemical and is identified as a consistent loss of material over the entire exposed surface of the material in question. This is the type of corrosion that affects the greatest number of structures, such as buildings, bridges, pipelines, and outdoor equipment. It attacks the most surface area and is the most costly. Uniform corrosion is also the easiest to analyze, to predict corrosion rates for, and to establish preventive measures and maintenance schedules for.

    Preventive techniques include painting

    Preventive techniques
    painting (coatings), inhibition, and cathodic or anodic protection. The service life of the affected component can normally be estimated with a reasonable degree of accuracy, and catastrophic failures can be avoided.

    Localized corrosion

    such as crevice and pitting corrosion, intergranular corrosion, selective leaching, erosion corrosion, and stress-corrosion cracking (SCC), act on a small portion of a component. The rate of localized corrosion is often orders of magnitude greater than that of uniform corrosion. Evidence of localized corrosion by virtue of its physical size and location, is often difficult to detect. These factors combine

    Types of metallic corrosion

    Uniform corrosion Localized attack: crevice, piting Galvanic Cracking: SCC, H embrittlement, liq-metal embrittlement, and corrosion fatigue Velocity: erosion, cavities and impingement Fretting Intergranular Dealloying or selective leaching
