The Corrosion Performance of Metals for the Marine Environment, a Basic Guide
Year: 2012 Language: english Author: Various Authors Genre: Technical book Publisher: Maney Publishing ISBN: 978-1-907975-59-2 Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 107 Description: Seawater is an aggressive and unpredictable medium; for most metals and alloys it causes degradation or corrosion. This can take the form of general thinning or more localised penetration in a variety of guises. Corrosion of metals and alloys in seawater is largely influenced by the oxygen content, seawater velocity, temperature, pollution, and marine organisms. The goal of this guide is to provide readers with a basic understanding of the types of alloy used in seawater, including the types of corrosion problem encountered, how to avoid them, and, in case of a failure, solutions to replace the component. The terminology used assumes the reader has no prior knowledge of corrosion engineering; the explicit intent is to allow operators to quickly obtain an overview of important practical issues. Chapters cover the main alloy groups, starting with steel as the most widely used construction material. Each subsequent chapter discusses applications, the typical alloys used, basic properties, and corrosion resistance for the various alloy groups. The final chapter specifically examines galvanic corrosion because, of all the corrosion mechanisms, this is perhaps the easiest to misunderstand and regularly causes significant problems.
