INTRODUCTION Corrosion can be defined as deterioration of metal(s) by chemical and/or electrochemical reaction with its environment [1].
Cost of corrosion • U.S. Cost of Corrosion = $460 Billion • India = 2 lacks cr
Reaction in corrosion • Anodic Reaction: The chemical reaction at the anode or metal dissolution can be written as • M = M n+ + ne- • In case of iron or steel, this equation becomes • Fe = Fe 2+ + 2e- • These electrons migrate to the cathode through the steel producing corrosion current. • Cathodic Reaction: The nature of the reaction at the cathode (in which the electrons released in anodic dissolution are consumed) depends upon the nature of the environment. • Oxygen reduction (Neutral or Basic solution): • O2 + 2H2O + 4e- = 4 (OH) –
Mechansium of corrosion • Metals are thermodynamically unstable in their refined form and tend to revert their natural states through the process of corrosion. • Corrosion can be defined as the destruction or deterioration of a material because of reaction with its environment [1].

Types of corrosion • Wet Corrosion: Is important in case of the many off –structures associated with oil and gas operations in the sea for as water depth increases so the oxygen content decreases • Dry corrosion: Metal come in contact with gases such as SO2, O2 Attack on steel by furnace gaseous

Galvanic corrosion Large cathode area, small anode area showing relatively pronounced attack of the rivet head Large anode area, small cathode area showing relatively insignificant attack over a wide area of sheet.

CREVICE CORROSION • Intensive localized corrosion within crevices & shielded areas on metal surfaces • Small volumes of stagnant corrosive caused by holes, gaskets, surface deposits, lap joints CORROSION IN FLANG
crevice corrosion in a bolt and washer Rust stains can be seen in the roots of the threads
PITTING CORROSION • Pitting corrosion is a localized form of corrosive attack that produces holes or small pits in a metal.
Sewer Explosion due to Pitting Corrosion An example of corrosion damages with shared responsibilities was the sewer explosion that killed 215 people in Guadalajara, Mexico, in April 1992. Besides the fatalities, the series of blasts damaged 1,600 buildings and injured 1,500 people. Corrosion Pits are the primary source of leaks in water handling systems
Corrosion Pit Shapes SIDEWAY PITS THROUGH PITS Subsurface Narrow, deep Shallow, wide Undercutting Elliptical Horizontal grain attack Vertical Grain Attack
EROSION CORROSION Relative movement between corrosive fluid and the metal surface Erosion corrosion of condenser tube wall Erosion corrosion of stainless alloy pump impeller
Cavitations corrosion • Formation and collaps of vapur bubbles in a liquid state near metal surface • Control valves, pumps, propellers and impellers.

Involve the use of a potentiostat for applying a potential (relative to a reference electrode) and measuring the current (flowing from the working electrode to the counter or auxiliary electrode) Corrosion Measurements

Metal corrodes depends not only upon its electrode potential but also upon pH of the aqueous solution Figure 2: Pourbaix Diagram for Iron [1]. • Use of Inhibitors ( from point A to c ) • Anodic control ( from point A to b ) • Cathodic control( from point A to a )
Corrosion prevention methods Material selection Metal and alloys
Inhibitors • Added in small concentration to environment decreases the corrosion rate • Retarding catalyst • 1.Absorption- type inhibitors: • Organic compound which absorbs on metal surface and suppress metal dissolution and reduction reaction • e.g-amine • 2. Hydrogen evolution poisons: • Arsenic and antimony • Acid solution
3. Oxidizer: • Chromate, nitrate, and ferric salts • e.g- iron and its alloys and SS • 4. Scavengers • Removing corrosion reagents from solution • Sodium sulphate and hydrazine Inhibitive coating on steel surface
DESIGN WALL THICKNESS: Wall thickness= 2* thickness • Design rules: • Weld rather than rivet tank • Design tanks and other containers for easy draining and easy cleaning • Avoid excessive stresses and stress conc. • Avoid electric contact between dissimilar metal
Design Design tanks for easy drainage
