Isocorrosion chart snapshot

 concept

  • Isocorrosion chart

Use

  • Estimate corrosion rates for an alloy
  • Select an alloy for a particular application with specific parameters

Definition

  • A plot of temperature versus electrolyte concentration, with lines depicting combination where similar corrosion rates are found

example


how to use it?
  • An application needs a temperature and concentration as depicted by point 1 in the image above.
  • We can plot it on the isocorrosion chart for that alloy and estimate the corrosion rate.
  • The design of the component and corrosion allowance can be decided accordingly.
  • A method to determine the suitability of the alloy for an application and electrolyte-temperature combination.

Video below for practical demo of the use of the chart!

What is a Corrosion Loop - PART 2 - EXAMPLE

How to prepare a corrosion loop? To prepare a corrosion loop, the person in charge will look at the overall picture and answer the following questions - 1. What is the process? 2. What are the components? 3. What are the materials for each component? 4. What are the common features among them? 5. Where does the commonality end? -  This is important as that will mark the beginning of a new corrosion loop. 6. Can I use the same inspection procedure for all of them? 7. Do they corrode/get damaged in the same manner due to the same reasons? WATCH THE VIDEO FOR A DETAILED EXPLANATION -       Read part 1 here! https://corrospective.com/ 😀Happy learning! 😀
