Resources for a corrosion beginner

Corrosion is a complex subject. It is difficult to pick and choose the starting point. It is very easy to spiral into a confused state of mind if the right resources are not available.

Hence, I write this blog post to list out a few books which are great if you are a corrosion enthusiast.

Here goes -

1. Corrosion Engineering by Mars. G Fontana

I love this book and I always refer to it for my work.

2. Peabody's control of pipeline corrosion -

3. Corrosion engineering - Principles and practice - Pierre Roberge

The website www.corrosion-doctors.org has a more extensive list of corrosion articles.

Other than that, there are online corrosion magazines which you can access -

1. Materials performance - www.materialsperformance.com

2. corrosionpedia.com

3. CORROSION journal meridian.allenpress.com/corrosion - it has a few open access articles.

Check out these resources as a starting point!

Corrosion risk planning - 1 - Lead acid battery

Corrosion is a quality, environment, and safety issue. Hence, it has to come under the cope of integrated management system audits However at the moment, it is more or less considered a quality issue. As such, the general tendency is to solve corrosion issues as they come. Especially in new inventions, the foresight to look for potential corrosion risk gets lost in the attempt to focus and highlight the amazing qualities of the said inventions. Hence, I have initiated this series, where I will take a component and point out the potential corrosion and damage risk areas. Here goes the first one - lead acid battery cell.

Corrosion in fertilizer industry - 1.2 Elemental sulphur attack

WATCH THE VIDEO HERE OR READ ON BELOW! Elemental sulphur attack is NOT sulphidation or hydrogen sulphide corrosion. It is an aqueous corrosion phenomenon. It considers two modes - acidification of sulphur - formation of sulphuric acid 2. direct cathodic reduction of sulphur with anodic dissolution of iron The lowering of pH is the main source of corrosion in both the methods. The phenomenon is temperature dependent. It increases with increase in temperature and becomes particularly severe above the melting point of sulphur (~112.8 degree Celsius). Hydrogen sulphide present in the petroleum may aggravate the sulphur attack by enhancing uniform pitting corrosion. Monoethylene glycol is used to prevent condensate formation ans may be present in traces in the feedstock petroleum. This enhances the sulphur attack in the form of uniform corrosion, and crevice corrosion. References: Fang, Haitao, Brown, Bruce, Young, David, and Srdjan Nešic. "Investigation...
