FREE WEBINAR on CORROSION!

Are you someone who really needs to talk about their corrosion issues with a third person to get a fresh perspective?

Would you like to know -

How the researchers look at corrosion
How the industry looks at corrosion
How can they help each other
How to apply corrosion fundamentals
How one can learn corrosion anytime anywhere

Well, here's your chance!

I am excited to announce a webinar on corrosion - absolutely free!

Titled "Corrosion - What art thou?", this webinar is my attempt to get in touch with my connections and communicate my learnings about corrosion.

Details of the event are as below -

Date: 21st October 2021

Timing: 14:00 to 16:00 hours INDIAN STANDARD TIME

Venue: Live stream on my YouTube channel!

It will be livestreamed on my Youtube channel CORROSPECTIVE! Click on the link below to see the recording -

If you have any questions to discuss, feel free to get in touch with me before 20th October!

Something important...Will you get a certificate of attendance?

YES!

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!

The drain mystery

I recently moved to a new house. As expected, there was a lot of cleaning up to do. One of the tasks was the cleaning of the washbasin. Usually, the drain is a circular part with 5 to 6 holes for the water to flow out. What I saw was this - I have not had a chance to analyse the material of the drain. However, a quick search tells me that this is most probably stainless steel. The water that this drain is exposed to is the bore water. Thus, the drain has encountered a lot of chlorides. There is general as well as localized corrosion. The damage started off as a simple process of pitting. Pitting due to chlorides is one of the most common headaches for poor stainless steel. They break the passive oxide film, and reach the underlying fresh iron. This iron then reacts with the usual suspects (ions, oxygen, water) and forms what we see as the rust. As can be seen in the picture, the thin sections of the drain between the holes have disappeared in three places. This may have h...

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...
