This lecture describes various materials selection and corrosion control strategies for subsea oil and gas production systems. A brief discussion on carbon and low alloy steels as well as corrosion resistance alloys is presented alongside fundamental corrosion concepts.
Save the date: The Electrochemical Society Open Access Week!
For a second consecutive year, The Electrochemical Society (ECS) is joining the International Open Access week. This inspiring event takes place from October 24 to 30. During this week, ECS will make its entire Digital Library containing more than 132,000 articles freely accessible to the community.
Mechanisms of alternating current induced corrosion of carbon steel – Publication
Does an alternating current or electromagnetic field accelerate corrosion of carbon and low alloy steels? Check our new peer-reviewed article to find out!
Efficacy of sterilization methods and their influence on the electrochemical behavior of plain carbon steel – Publication
Sample sterilization is a crucial step in microbially induced corrosion (MIC) research that is usually overlooked. In this regard, metal sterilization procedures should not alter the surface nor affect the inherent susceptibility of the metal to corrosion while adequately deactivating biological activity. So, are all sterilization methods the same? Do they alter the corrosion response of the sample being investigated?
