The effect of nitrite on pitting and stress corrosion cracking of corrosion resistant alloys (CRA) under oil field conditionsOkeremi, Akinyemi January 2011 (has links)
The need to inject treated seawater to enhance reservoir pressure and secondary oil recovery is increasing in the oil field, so also is the reservoir souring potential caused by the activities of Sulphate Reducing Bacteria (SRB) generating H2S in the reservoir. The total cost of SRB mediated corrosion in the United States alone is estimated to be 1-2 billion US dollars per year. In the last few years, a number of potential souring mitigation and prevention tools have been studied. These include: sulphate-reduction using membranes, biocide injection and nitrate injection. Out of all the various methods used for the mitigation and prevention of reservoir souring, the use of nitrate injection in conjunction with waterflood projects is becoming more popular because of its economic benefits and least environmental impact. However, nitrate injection is still widely considered as an emergent technology because there are still many unknowns. One of the major unknowns, of great concern is the susceptibility of subsea hardware components to nitrite, which is a by-product of nitrate anti-souring treatment. Any detrimental effect can compromise the technical integrity of subsea installations. The objective of this research is to study the corrosion susceptibility of CRA (13Cr- Martensitic, 22Cr, and 25Cr super duplex stainless steel) to pitting and stress corrosion cracking in the presence of nitrite. Research hitherto, has investigated corrosion susceptibility of carbon steel to nitrite and found out that nitrite causes pitting in carbon steel. This research work built on previous studies and extensively investigated the effect of nitrite on CRA materials in terms of pitting and stress corrosion cracking. Using electrochemistry techniques in conjunction with C-ring test and slow strain rate test, with variables such as temperature, and nitrite concentration all under anaerobic conditions. Metallographic examination and further evaluation using scanning electron microscopy confirmed pitting and intergranular stress corrosion cracking of 13Cr-L80 and 25Cr due to presence of nitrite.Test data confirmed that sodium nitrite is an anodic inhibitor; it shifts the corrosion potentials to more noble potential and also shifts the anodic curve to lower current, given a net reduction in corrosion rate. A critical concentration of 400ppm is required for inhibition to be effective on 13Cr-L80 and 25Cr. However, below the critical concentration, nitrite significantly increases the corrosion rate. The experimental data generated from this research work provides very valuable information that will tremendously assist the materials selection process for subsea and subsurface hardware components and also serve as a guide in the corrosion management process in existing systems.

Impregnace korozivzdorných ocelí pro podmínky záoceánských plaveb / Impregnation of stainless steels for the conditions of oversea sailingChára, Tomáš January 2013 (has links)
This thesis deals with temporary corrosion protection of stainless steel for the conditions of oversea sailing. At first the theoretical part describes types of the stainless steels focusing on their corrosion resistance and negatively or positively impacts affect of their resistance. There is also a proposal of methods of the temporary corrosion protection and testing its effectiveness. The recherché are summarized knowledge in testing resistance of stainless steels to pitting corrosion. The task of the study was to test the effectiveness of three different preservatives and comparing the quality of their temporary corrosion protection compared with unprotected chemically passivated stainless steels.

Využití metody akustické emise pro zpřesnění diagnostiky vzniku poškození radiálních ložisek / APPLICATION OF ACOUSTIC EMISSION METHOD FOR MORE DETAILED DIAGNOSTICS OF RADIAL BEARINGS DAMAGEHort, Filip January 2011 (has links)
This thesis studies the possibilities of exploiting the acoustic emission method as a tool for more detailed identification of the radial bearings damage formation. The work includes comparison of different evaluation methods in laboratory tests. Applied couplant between the contact sensor areas and sensing surfaces is also taken into account. The practical part includes the presentation of the experimental station and structural adjustments made. The main part of the work comprises the examples in detail of three types of experimental tests that simulate the possible failure of bearings and their manifestation in the sensing signal. Testing methodology developed with recommended values for setting common AE signal measurement, vibration and temperature is a part of the thesis, too.

Experimental Study of Metallic Surfaces Exposed to CavitationFreitas De Abreu, Marcio January 2018 (has links)
Cylinder liners in heavy-duty truck engines are subjected to intense vibrations and may sustain damage from the cavitation of bubbles in the coolant liquid, with some risks of leakage and engine breakdown. An ultrasonic oscillating probe was used to simulate the pitting rates and behavior of samples extracted from cylinder liners, which are made of grey cast iron, with differences in surface roughness, glycol and inhibitor content in coolant, coolant temperature and graphite flake class; bainitic microstructures were also tested. Measurements consisted of mass losses under set intervals during experiments lasting 2.5 or 4 hours. Affected surfaces were later evaluated with scanning electron microscopy and confocal microscopy. Results indicate higher cavitation damage with: lower concentrations of glycol and absence of corrosion/cavitation inhibitors in the coolant liquid, lower liquid temperatures between 76⁰C and 90⁰C, and presence of B-type graphite class in the microstructure. Results regarding surface roughness were inconclusive. A sequence of surface damage mechanisms has been proposed, with corresponding microscope observations, to explain the mass loss trends and the associated microstructural changes over time.

Experimental Characterization and Computer Vision-Assisted Detection of Pitting Corrosion on Stainless Steel Structural MembersMuehler, Riley J 01 June 2023 (has links) (PDF)
Pitting corrosion is a prevalent form of corrosive damage that can weaken, damage, and initiate failure in corrosion-resistant metallic materials. For instance, 304 stainless steel is commonly utilized in various structures (e.g., miter gates, heat exchangers, and storage tanks), but is prone to failure through pitting corrosion and stress corrosion cracking under mechanical loading, regardless of its high corrosion resistance. In this study, to better understand the pitting corrosion damage development, controlled corrosion experiments were conducted to generate pits on 304 stainless steel specimens with and without mechanical loading. The pit development over time was characterized using a high-resolution laser scanner. In addition, to achieve scalable and automatic assessment of pitting corrosion conditions, two convolutional neural network-based computer vision algorithms were adopted and implemented to evaluate the efficacy of networks to identify existence of pitting damage. One was a newly trained convolutional neural network (CNN) using MATLAB software, while the other one was a retrained version of GoogLeNet. Overall, the experimental results showed that time is the dependent variable in predicting pit depth. Meanwhile, loading conditions significantly influence pit morphology. Under compression loading, pits form with larger surface opening areas, while under tension loading, pits have smaller surface opening areas. Deep pits of smaller areas are dangerous for structural members, as they can lead to high stress concentrations and early stress corrosion cracking (SCC). Furthermore, while the training library was limited and consisted of low-resolution images, the retrained GoogLeNet CNN showed promising potential for identifying pitting corrosion based on the evaluation of its performance parameters, including the accuracy, loss, recall, precision, and F1-measure.
