Study Notes
Corrosion
- Definition: Deterioration of materials, usually metals, due to reaction with their environment
-
Types of Corrosion:
- Dry Corrosion: Occurs in the absence of moisture, often due to chemical reactions
- Wet Corrosion: Occurs in the presence of moisture, leading to electrochemical reactions
Mechanism of Corrosion
- Involves oxidation of the metal surface, resulting in loss of electrons
- Counter reaction involves reduction of oxygen, resulting in gain of electrons
- Formation of corrosion cells, leading to corrosion reactions
Types of Corrosion
Pitting Corrosion
- Definition: Localized corrosion, forming small pits on the metal surface
- Causes: Presence of chlorides, sulfides, or other aggressive ions
Waterline Corrosion
- Definition: Corrosion occurring at the waterline or interface between water and air
- Causes: Concentration cells formed due to difference in oxygen levels
Inter-Granular Corrosion
- Definition: Corrosion occurring along grain boundaries in the metal
- Causes: Segregation of impurities or carbides along grain boundaries
Galvanic Corrosion
- Definition: Corrosion occurring when two dissimilar metals are in contact
- Causes: Electrochemical potential difference between the two metals
Stress Corrosion
- Definition: Corrosion accelerated by the presence of stress on the metal
- Causes: Combination of mechanical stress and corrosive environment
Pilling-Bedworth Rule
- Definition: States that a protective oxide film will form if the volume of oxide is less than the volume of metal consumed
- Application: Predicting the likelihood of a metal forming a protective oxide layer
