Study Notes
Corrosion
- Corrosion is the deterioration of metals as a result of dissolution due to environmental reactions.
- Oxidation is the formation of non-metallic scale or film.
- Degradation is the deteriorative process that occurs with polymers.
Passivity
- Passivity is the loss of chemical reactivity. Under some environmental conditions, some metals and alloys become extremely inert. This behavior occurs due to the formation of a protective film.
- Passivity is exhibited by Cr, Ni, Ti, and their alloys.
- Stainless steel (Fe alloyed with at least 11% Cr) is highly corrosion-resistant in various atmospheres.
- Passive behavior results from the formation of a thin, adherent oxide film on the metal surface, which acts as a barrier against corrosion.
- If damaged, the protective film usually reforms rapidly.
- Changes in the environment might cause the metal to revert to an active state, leading to increased corrosion rates.
Environmental Effects
- Increasing fluid velocity enhances corrosion due to erosive effects.
- Increasing temperature increases the rate of chemical reactions.
- Increasing corrosion concentration increases the corrosion rate.
- For materials capable of passivation, raising corrosion content may result in a transition from an active to a passive state, significantly reducing corrosion.
- Cold working or plastically deforming a metal makes it more susceptible to corrosion.
Forms of Corrosion
- Uniform attack occurs with equivalent intensity over the exposed surface, often leaving behind a scale or deposit.
