Why does steel corrode ? (1)
• Differences in electrical potential on the surface form ANODIC and CATHODIC sites
• At anodic sites the metal oxidises:
–Fe (metal) Fe2+ + 2e-

Why does steel corrode ? (2)
• Simultaneously, reduction occurs at cathodic sites, typically:
–½O2 + H2O + 2e- (metal) 2OH- (aq.) or
–2H+ (aq.) + 2e- (metal) H2 (gas)
• Electrons are conducted through metal while ions travel through electrolyte

General Corrosion
• Uniform attack of the metal surface
• Low rate of penetration
• Potentially greater degree of contamination
• ‘Typical’ rates are available for most metal/environment combinations
• Difficult to design against
• May require protection - e.g. coatings

Pitting Corrosion
• Highly localised, high rate corrosion
• Rapid perforation of sections
• Several causes, including chloride ions
• Once initiated, pits can be self perpetuating
• Often associated with stagnant conditions
• Coatings can provide barrier but any defects can become active anodic sites

Crevice Corrosion
• Typically occurs in gaps between two surfaces
• Only one surface needs to be metal
• Surface deposits can also produce crevices
• Corrosion cell caused by differential oxidation
• The smaller the crevice, the more intense the corrosion
• Must be designed-out or filled-in

Bimetallic Corrosion
• Five conditions must be satisfied:
– an environment in which the ‘anode’ can corrode
– an electrolytic path
– an electronic path
– a large potential difference
– no restriction of the reactions at the ‘cathode’
• Control involves preventing or interfering with one of these requirements

Stress Corrosion Cracking
• Requires both tensile stress and a specific corrosive medium
• Highly specific to alloy, environment and exposure conditions
• Stresses may be due to fabrication or service
• Coatings can exclude the environment

Corrosion Fatigue
• Caused by a combination of cyclic stress and a corrosive environment
• Hard to distinguish from plain fatigue
• Coatings can exclude the environment
• Techniques that improve plain fatigue resistance can also help with corrosion fatigue - e.g. carburising, nitriding, shot peening

Other Forms of ‘Corrosion’
• EROSION-CORROSION
– synergy of erosive and corrosive decay
• CAVITATION– collapsing air bubbles erode surface
• GRAPHITIC CORROSION
– preferential attack in grey cast iron
• GALLING
– local cold welding and tearing (stainless steels)
• FRETTING
– small movements generating fine debris

Corrosion in the Oil & Gas Industry• As well as exposure to sea water and high
temperatures, there are other problems:
– Carbon Dioxide Corrosion - ‘Sweet Corrosion’
• Dry carbon dioxide in the presence of moisture produces carbonic acid, resulting in significant damage by a number of mechanisms.
– Hydrogen Sulphide Corrosion - ‘Sour Corrosion’
• Hydrogen sulphide dissolved in water can result in severe loss rates in ferrous and other materials and can lead to hydrogen embrittlement and cracking.
Reinforced concrete also suffers from CO2 (e.g. from the atmosphere) and H2S (e.g. from sewage) as well as chloride induced corrosion.
