coming in contact with a corrosive liquid or gas
chemically corrosive contaminates

dirt, salt, acid, gases

conditions that must be present for electrochemical corrosion.

anodic area, cathodic area, electrolyte, metal

how electrochemical corrosion is stopped

eliminating any of the four conditions

which has the higher tendency to corrode
anode
catastrophic natural corrosion

salty atmosphere

dust from volcanic ash contains

chlorides and sulfates
industrial pollution, manufacturing operations, storage and shipping conditions

man made

chemicals associated with the industrial pollution

carbon, nitrates, ozone, sulfur dioxide, sulfates

man made corrosion that creates chipped and damaged equiptment

shipment

temperatures increase corrosion rates

TRUE
passive film
barrier that forms an invisible layer of oxide
cover of corrosion over a large surface area

uniform

gives stainless steel a higher level of resistance

passive film

metal that greatly accelerates corrosion of the other metals and accumulates a blusish green hue

copper

color rust most associated with steel
red
metal that leaves a white to gray powdery material with pitting

Aluminum

Metal that leaves white powdery mounds

Magnesium

further one metal is from another the greater the corrosion

true

order metals are arranged on the galvanic table

order of relative activity in a sea water environment

factors that determine the type of corrosion that may form

metal type, environment, lack of protective coating

corrosion that occurs in the absence of water at high temperatures

oxidation

cracking of metals caused by the combined effects of cyclic stress and corrosion

Fatigue

Filiform is recognized by

wormlike trace of corrosion, products beneath paint film

seen on the surface of pitting corrosion

tiny pitts or holes

first step once corrosion is detected

begin corrective action

procedure for exposed metals that cannot be painted or coated

wiped down with oil

what must paint surfaces be inspected for?

bumps, blisters, flakes, chips and lumps

type of cleaner used for cleaning surfaces in a corrosive environment

mildest possible non corrosive environment

how are the costs resulting from corrosion minimized
early detection, identification, and treatment
4 basic standard stages of corrosion prevention and control

cleaning, inspection, control and protection

least active metal, low corrosion potential, accelerates the corrosion of any metal

carbon fiber

tarnishes in the presence of sulfur

Silver

metals used as protective platings
nickel and chromium
with titanium, what is necessary to prevent galvanic corrosion of the other metal.

electrical insulaiton
corrosion that looks like sideways lightning

intergranulated

first indication of corrosion in aluminum and magnesium

pitting
corrosion recognized by an intense localized corrosion that occurs within crevices and other shielded areas.
crevice and concentration cell
