Introduction to Corrosion Lecture#01 Definition Corrosion may be defined as the destruction of a metal or an alloy because of chemical or electrochemical reaction with its surrounding environment or medium Environments in Corrosion1 Corrosion: Metallurgy in Reverse2 Some Corrosion Failure Examples3 Aloha Incident Aloha Incident (Contd..) Bhopal Accident Carlsbad Pipeline Explosion Flow Accelerated Corrosion Nuclear Reactor with a Hole in the Head Losses due to Corrosion4 Cost of Corrosion Which cost more? Corrosion Fire Flooding Earthquake Cost of Corrosion(2004) in billion US$5 Example of Overdesign3 An 8 in. dia oil pipeline 225 miles long with a in. wall thickness was installed with no corrosion protection system With appropriate protection namely cathodic protection, it would have a thin wall thickness which would save 3,700 tons of steel (worth more than one million dollar) increase internal capacity of the pipeline by about 5%. So……Why Study Corrosion? Materials are precious resources Engineering design is incomplete without knowledge of corrosion Applying knowledge of corrosion protection can minimize disasters Corrosion – contaminate products such as pharmaceutical, food and dairy products or luxury items like soap Corrosion products – threat to the environment Artificial implants for the human body!!! Distribution of disciplines in which active corrosion engineers have graduated So .. What would be expected from You (a Corrosion Engineer)? Ensuring maximum life of new equipment Preservation of existing equipment Protecting or improving the quality of a product in order to maintain or improve a competitive position. Avoiding costly interruptions of production. Reducing or eliminating losses of valuable products by spillage or leaks. Refitting of equipment withdrawn from service because of corrosion. Reducing hazards to life and property that might be associated with corrosion: Explosions of pressure vessels or piping systems release of poisonous o
