A Viable Alternative to Mineral Abrasive

Product Number: 51220-263-SG

Author: Joe McGreal

Publication Date: 2020

$20.00

Mineral abrasives such as glass bead and aluminum oxide have been traditionally used in the surface finishing industry. The general perception is that they offer acceptable cleaning at a low operating cost. Often dismissed is the potential of metallic alternatives that though seemingly higher in initial procurement cost, offer several differentiating advantages in terms of recyclability, consistency of finish, repeatable results and ultimately resulting in overall, reduced operating costs.

Effects of Corrosion and Wildfires on Galvanized Steel Towers: A Case Study with Wildfire and Corrosion Sensors

Product Number: 51324-20844-SG

Author: Mehrooz Zamanzadeh; Anil Kumar Chikkam; George T. Bayer; Clinton Char; Carolyn Tome

Publication Date: 2024

$40.00

With the rising prevalence of climate change, utilities are facing increased risk and consequences from accelerated corrosion and wildfires, particularly in the state of California and British Columbia. These fires have the potential to compromise the integrity of galvanized steel lattice towers, widely used in high voltage transmission lines. Considering this, it is crucial for utilities to assess the potential risks and deploy corrosion control and postfire inspection strategies. This paper investigates the effects of corrosion and wildfires on these structures and presents a case study involving real-time monitoring sensors for early risk identification and evaluation. This paper aims to shed light on the challenges posed by wildfires and corrosion to utility structures and provides actionable insights for future preparedness. With escalating concerns about climate change, utilities must adapt their strategies for a more resilient future.

Forms of Corrosion - Recognition and Prevention, 2nd Edition

Product Number: 37626-POD

ISBN: 978-1-57590-354-5

Author: Dale McIntyre

$215.00

This is a print-on-demand (POD) book that will be produced just for you in 2-5 days after your order. It should arrive at your door in about one to two weeks. However, due to supply chain and logistic challenges currently affecting the industry, it may take longer. Allow three weeks for international orders.

The Second Edition of this classic reference book adds updated commentary and many new case studies. Mechanisms and numerous scenarios illustrate general, localized and galvanic corrosion, environmental cracking, erosion-corrosion, cavitation, fretting, intergranular attack, dealloying, and high-temperature corrosion.

The purpose of this book is to introduce the eight forms of corrosion and illustrate the forms’ macro- and microappearances as they occur in conventional engineering metals and alloys. Diagrams are occasionally employed to illustrate mechanisms, but photographs and photomicrographs are employed whenever possible, together with case histories, to aid understanding of the situations discussed and the means taken to ameliorate them.

This book presents detailed corrosion mechanisms and case histories of a wide variety of corrosion problems from chemical plants, oil production and refining, utilities, pipelines, transport by air, land, and sea, electronics, and the preservation of historical artifacts. The uses of advanced analytical techniques such as electron microscopy, metallography, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, Aüger spectroscopy and electrochemical techniques are presented to illustrate their utility in corrosion failure investigations.

Leak Mitigation of Dynamic Cracks in Concrete

Product Number: 41216-982-SG

Author: Charlie Lerman

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

Concrete will crack – that is a fact. When cracks appear, they are dynamic or static, and structural or non-structural. If the crack is static, non-structural, and does not leak, epoxies are great to restore design strength. However, since concrete constantly shrinks, expands, and often leaks, the use of a flexible polyurethane resin to permanently seal active leaks is the optimum choice to create a leak-free environment.

Opportunistic Compilation Of ECDA, ILI, And Hydrostatic Testing For Successful Pipeline Uprating: Case Study

Product Number: 51322-17480-SG

Author: Paul S. Young

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

The annual natural gas demand in the United States surpassed 31 trillion cubic feet in 2019. This is over a 500% increase from demand in the 1950’s (5.7 trillion cubic feet) [1]. As gas demand continues to rise, pipeline operators have limited options to meet demand requirements. Pressure uprating is one option that can be leveraged for certain pipelines to meet the increased demand economically.

Thermal Imaging as a Forensic Tool in Coating Failure Investigations

Product Number: 41208-454-SG

Author: E. Bud Senkowski

Publication Date: 2008

$20.00

This paper discusses the use of thermal imaging as an analytical tool in forensic investigations of moisture-related coating failures applied over hollow core building walls. The success of thermal imaging depends upon detecting subtle temperature differences arising from differences in thermal conductivity of the coated wall surfaces. The method is a valuable adjunct to contemporary failure investigation methodology.
