Effects of Oxide Additions on the Corrosion Behaviour of Cr2O3 Based Ceramics in High Temperature Supercritical Water Environment
DownloadFall 2012
This investigation is aimed at developing ceramic materials applied in supercritical water, which is being considered as coolant for one of the next generation nuclear reactors. Cr2O3, a primary protective film on stainless steels, was found to be unstable in SCW due to the formation of soluble...

Filiform corrosion (FFC, also known as under-film corrosion) is commonly observed on surfaces of coated aluminum (Al) and aluminum alloys (AA), especially in environments combining marine and industrial atmosphere. The chemical composition of the substrate is believed to play an important role in...

Stainless steel is one of the most commonly used materials in most industries. Excellent corrosion resistance of stainless steel is due to the formation of an oxide film on the surface (passive film), which protects the material from continuous corrosion attacks. When subjected to an attack...

An evaluation of the resistance of two different X70 pipeline steels to hydrogen-induced cracking in severe (pH 2.7 and 1 atm H2S) and intermediate (pH 5.5 and 1 atm H2S) sour service conditions was undertaken. The two steels used in this work, X70-X and X70-B, were selected based on their...

Growth behavior of surface cracks in pipeline steels exposed to near-neutral pH environments
DownloadFall 2013
This study is part of a larger study designed to help a consortium of pipeline operators replace current (very expensive) approaches to managing stress corrosion cracking (SCC) concerns in near-neutral pH (NNPH) environments with mathematical models that predict SCC growth rates. This could...

Casing pipes used in sour service are prone to two forms of failure: hydrogen induced cracking (HIC) and sulfide stress cracking (SSC). The objective of this thesis is to investigate the resistance of L80 ERW and Seamless steel pipe, with five different chemical compositions, to both HIC and SSC....

Investigation of Corrosion and Crack Morphology Behavior under Disbonded Coatings on Pipelines
DownloadFall 2015
Coating disbondment on pipelines is a common phenomenon that leads to exposure of the pipeline metal to the surrounding soil and ground water solutions. The exposure of pipelines to those corrosive environments is associated with development of corrosion and Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC) on the...

Investigation of Highly Corrosion Resistant and Electrically Conductive Coatings on Metal Bipolar Plates Used in Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell
DownloadSpring 2019
There are apparent technical and economic advantages to replace carbon-based bipolar plates using metal bipolar plates (MBP) for applications in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). However, MBP suffers from corrosion in the acidic environment of PEMFC, and the subsequently formed...

Investigation of Surface Crack Growth Behaviour Under Variable Pressure Fluctuations in Near-Neutral pH Environments
DownloadFall 2017
The goal of this investigation was to study the corrosion fatigue behaviour and mechanisms of surface cracks, semi-elliptical in shape, when exposed to near-neutral pH environments conducive to the environments experienced in the field. To better simulate field conditions, while avoiding the...

The formation of bainite is the most studied and the most debated phase transformation in steels, with research spanning almost a century. With two theories of transformation, the transformation mechanism of bainite is still a disputed subject among physical metallurgists. Upper bainite and lower...
