Prestressed concrete cylinder pipe pipeline sections projected to exhibit wire breaks were detected - and one not so - were excavated, removed, inspected, and dissected. Corrosion had initiated upon the inner surface of shorting straps and spread to the prestressing wires. A mechanism for this corrosion is presented and the findings discussed.

Twelve-year laboratory tests of rebar reinforced concrete beams partially submerged in artificial seawater have confirmed that steel corrosion may occur a few months after immersion and may continue for many years.
In this study the pitting behavior of stainless steel type AISI 304 (EN 1.4301) has been studied in various binary mixtures of MgSO4, K2SO4 or Li2SO4 with NaCl. Results are compared to those obtained in binary mixtures of Na2SO4 with NaCl as well as in plain NaCl.
Oil sands operations may give rise to various corrosion risks such as pitting corrosion crevice corrosion microbiologically induced corrosion and abrasion-corrosion. This paper focuses on the abrasion-corrosion resistance of various stainless steels and wear resistant carbon steels.
This paper presents an expanded laboratory test database on critical corrosion modes for UNS R55400 pipe exposed to relevant oilfield production environments which include sour well fluid brines, a heavy chloride/bromide brine well completion fluid, injected methanol, organic acid- and HCl-based well acidizing solutions, and seawater.
For reinforced concrete (RC) structures that are in drier locations but still need of cathodic protection (CP), impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) systems are preferred. In this study, the performance of activated zinc anodes installed on dry or high resistance concrete on Florida Bridges was evaluated.
This work seeks to determine the performance of cathodic prevention (CPrev) and cathodic protection (CP) systems applied to cracked concrete in a simulated marine environment.
This paper will identify and document how these different factors affect the susceptibility of austenitic stainless steel to Chloride-Stress Corrosion cracking based on a review of currently available literature. A review of current industry best practices and a review of how the Oxygen content, the pH and application of stress relief affects Chloride-Stress Corrosion Cracking will be documented and presented.
Nickel base alloys with high chromium and molybdenum contents are very resistant to chloride-induced localized corrosion, even at relatively high temperatures. These alloys include the Ni-Cr-Mo(W) or “C” family of alloys and the novel Ni-Mo-Cr alloy HYBRID-BC1 (UNS N10362). Alloy 22 (UNS N06022) stands out due to its versatility: chromium and molybdenum contents were selected to optimize its corrosion behavior in oxidizing and reducing conditions. Alloy 625 (UNS N06625) has outstanding thermal ageing resistance and a longer in-service experience. The
Thanks to their good corrosion resistance and ease to shape and weld, austenitic stainless steel grades (e.g. UNS S31603) are used as standard materials for the construction of municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTP). The main factors influencing the corrosiveness of the fluids in WWTP are halides concentration (more specifically chlorides), H2S content, low pH, temperature and their combined effects.
In municipal wastewater streams, chloride content, known to be one of the critical agents affecting the stability of protective passive layers for stainless steels2, is usually around 50-200 mg/L and in this content range does not present major issues for the austenitic grade.
The direct current electrical treatments are applied with the aim of improving corrosion resistance of steel embedded in concrete. It is the impressed current cathodic protection in both widely used modes – preventive or remedial, electrochemical chloride extraction, realkalization of carbonated concrete and electrochemical injection of protective agents. All the treatments are similar to each other in its principle and arrangement.
