DESCRIPTION

Thesis on Corrosion Techniques

TRANSCRIPT

Corrosion is one of the common problems in many industries like refineries, metal extracting plants, chemical plants and etc. Corrosion nothing but degradation of material, due to this the properties of the material will decrease. There are many forms of corrosion depending on the environmental conditions, operating conditions and material systems. In degradation the main thing we come across in every metal or ceramics or polymers is oxidization. Due to this corrosion every year the annual cost in the U.S. estimated to be nearly $300 billion it is about 4% of the gross domestic product. Due to this corrosion there are so many disasters happened in the past. It is consider as one of the serious problem throughout the globe. Rusting of the steel due to the presence of oxygen and electrolyte around the sample it will lead to redox reactions to happen and metal loss will happen. This is the common phenomenon for all metals. We cant avoid the corrosion because it is naturally happening process, but we can control it by doing some protective methods and precautions. There is so many researches are going for reducing the corrosion. There are so many methods to find the corrosion rates, weight loss, depth of the pits but not so effective. These methods have high installation and maintenance costs and have external installation setups. We are using electrical impedance measurements for the corrosion measurement; in this process we are using electrochemical setup for measuring the impedance. We are going to visualize the microstructure of the samples after corrosion, and we will also study the grain size of the samples. We are going to conduct the experiments in different environments and make a table with different parameters like changing environment and changing the length
