Do you know how to read anodic polarization curves? This post gives a brief graphical overview on how to determine pitting and repassivation potentials from real anodic polarization curves.
Call for papers – CORROSION/15: Mechanisms of Localized Corrosion
The TEG 407X (part of STG 60) “Mechanisms of Localized Corrosion” symposium is seeking technical papers in the area of localized corrosion mechanisms, evaluations and measurements methods. The symposium chairman is Helmuth Sarmiento Klapper (Baker Hughes INTEQ) and the vice-chairman is Mariano Iannuzzi (GE Oil & Gas). The symposium will be held in Dallas, TX, U.S. during the week […]
Call for papers – CORROSION/15: Conventional Fuels and Biofuels Corrosion Issues
The TEG 462 (part of STG 35) “Conventional Fuels and Biofuels Corrosion Issues” symposium is seeking technical papers conveying corrosion issues of both conventional fuels and biofuels. These issues include general corrosion, localized corrosion, and stress corrosion cracking. The symposium chairman is Donald E. Drake (ExxonMobil Midstream Company) and the vice-chairman is Mariano Iannuzzi (GE […]
Corrosion research
I could not agree more with Dr. Hoar’s position on corrosion research: Now what I wanted to say was, many of these things are to be found in the literature, and not only the recent literature, either. I think we all ought to go home and do considerably more reading, and far less experimental work. […]
About pitting and repassivation potentials
What are the pitting and repassivation potentials? Is there a correlation between these critical potentials and localized corrosion resistance?
