INTRODUCTION: -
Corrosion is an inevitable phenomenon.
In fact our economy would be directly changed if there were no corrosion.
The approximate estimate of loss of metal due to corrosion, 2 to 2.5 billiondollars per annum all- over the world.
In India it is Rs600.00 cores.
Though corrosion is inevitable, its cost can be considerably reduced.
An inexpensive magnesium anode could double the life of a domestic hotwater tank.
Washing a car to remove road- salt is helpful.
Proper selection of materials and good design reduces cost of corrosion.
A good maintenance-painting programme pays for itself many times

Corrosion Theory
Humans have most likely been trying to understand andcontrol corrosion for as long as they have been using metalobjects.
With a few exceptions, metals are unstable in ordinaryaqueous environments.
Metals are usually extracted from ores through the
application of a considerable amount of energy.
Certain environments offer opportunities for these metalsto combine chemically with elements to form compounds
and return to their lower energy levels.

Corrosion Theory Contd
Corrosion is the primary means by which metalsdeteriorate.
Most metals corrode on contact with water (andmoisture in the air), acids, bases, salts, oils,aggressive metal polishes, and other solid andliquid chemicals.
Metals will also corrode when exposed to gaseousmaterials like acid vapors, formaldehyde gas,ammonia gas, and sulfur containing gases.

Corrosion Theory Contd
Corrosion specifically refers to any process involving the deteriorationor degradation of metal components.
The best known case is that of the rusting of steel.
Corrosion processes are usually electrochemical in nature, having theessential features of a battery.
When metal atoms are exposed to an environment containing watermolecules they can give up electrons, becoming themselves positivelycharged ions, provided an electrical circuit can be completed.
This effect can be concentrated locally to form a pit or, sometimes, a
crack, or it can extend across a wide area to produce general wastage.
Localized corrosion that leads to pitting may provide sites for fatigueinitiation and, additionally, corrosive agents like seawater may lead togreatly enhanced growth of the fatigue crack.
Pitting corrosion also occurs much faster in areas wheremicrostructural changes have occurred due to welding operations.

Corrosion Theory Contd
Corrosion is the disintegration of metal through anunintentional chemical or electrochemical action,starting at its surface.
All metals exhibit a tendency to be oxidized, some moreeasily than others.
A tabulation of the relative strength of this tendency iscalled the galvanic series.
Knowledge of a metal's location in the series is animportant piece of information to have in makingdecisions about its potential usefulness for structuraland other applications

The corrosion process (anodic reaction) of the metal dissolving as
ions generates some electrons, as shown here, that are consumed
by a secondary process (cathodic reaction).
These two processes have to balance their charges.
The sites hosting these two processes can be located close to each
other on the metal's surface, or far apart depending on the
circumstances.
This simple observation has a major impact in many aspects ofcorrosion prevention and control, for designing new corrosion
monitoring techniques to avoiding the most insidious or localized
forms of corrosion. (more advanced reading)
The electrons (e- in this figure) produced by the corrosion reaction will need to be
consumed by a cathodic reaction in close proximity to the corrosion reaction itself.
The electrons and the hydrogen ions react to first form atomic hydrogen, and then
molecular hydrogen gas.
If the acidity level is high (low pH), this molecular hydrogen will readily become a gas
as it is demonstrated by exposing a strip of zinc to a sulfuric acid solution.

Corrosion Theory Contd
As hydrogen forms, it could inhibit further corrosion
by forming a very thin gaseous film at the surface of
the metal. This "polarizing" film can be effective in reducing
water to metal contact and thus in reducing corrosion.
Yet it is clear that anything which breaks down this
barrier film tends to increase the rate of corrosion.
Dissolved oxygen in the water will react with the
hydrogen, converting it to water, and destroying the
film.

Corrosion Cell Definition
Nature can encourage corrosion in many fashions.
The force behind the corrosion, attraction of metals towards the
formation of stable oxides.
Oxidized forms of metals can be divided into three types:
1.Composition Cell
2.Stress Cell
3.Concentration Cell
-
8/6/2019 Corrosion & Prevention Mod S.K.G
27/73
27
1.Composition CellComposition cells (also known as Galvanic cells) arise when
two metals with dissimilar compositions or microstructures
come into contact in the presence of an electrolyte.
The two most common examples :
1.1Dissimilar metals
1.2Multi-phase alloy
-
8/6/2019 Corrosion & Prevention Mod S.K.G
28/73
28
1.1 Dissimilar metals:
Formed by two single-phase metals incontact, such as iron and zinc, or nickel andgold.
The metal that is higher on theElectrochemical Series will be the cathode.
The other metal will suffer anodic reactionsand will corrode.
-
8/6/2019 Corrosion & Prevention Mod S.K.G
29/73
29
1.2 Multi-phase alloy: Formed by a metal alloy composed of multiple phases,
such as a stainless steel, a cast iron, or an aluminum alloy.
The individual phases possess different electrode
potentials, resulting in one phase acting as an anode and
subject to corrosion.
-

30/73

2. Stress Cell
Stress cells can exist in a single piece of metal where aportion of the metal's microstructure possesses more
stored strain energy than the rest of the metal.
Metal atoms are at their lowest strain energy state when
situated in a regular crystal array.
The three most common examples:
2.1 Grain boundaries
2.2 High localized stress2.3 Cold worked
-
8/6/2019 Corrosion & Prevention Mod S.K.G
31/73
31
2.1 Grain boundaries:By definition, metal atoms situated along grain boundaries are not located in a regular crystalarray (i.e. a grain).
Their increased strain energy translates into anelectrode potential that is anodic to the metal inthe grains proper.
Thus, corrosion can selectively occur along grainboundaries
-
8/6/2019 Corrosion & Prevention Mod S.K.G
32/73
32
2.2 High localized stress:
Regions within a metal subject to a high local stress will contain metal
atoms at a higher strain energy state.
As a result, high-stress regions will be anodic to low-stress regions and
can corrode selectively.
For example, bolts under load are subject to more corrosion than
similar bolts that are unloaded.
A good rule of thumb is to select fasteners that are cathodic (i.e.
higher on the Electrochemical Series) to the metal being fastened in
order to prevent fastener corrosion.
-
8/6/2019 Corrosion & Prevention Mod S.K.G
33/73
33
2.3 Cold worked: Regions within a metal subjected to cold-work
contain a higher concentration of dislocations, and
as a result will be anodic to non-cold-workedregions.
Thus, cold-worked sections of a metal will corrode
faster.
For example, nails that are bent will often corrode
at the bend, or at their head where they were
worked by the hammer
-
8/6/2019 Corrosion & Prevention Mod S.K.G
34/73
34
3. Concentration CellConcentration cells can arise when the concentration of
one of the species participating in a corrosion reaction
varies within the electrolyte.
The two most common examples
3.1 Electrolyte concentration
3.2 Oxygen concentration
-
8/6/2019 Corrosion & Prevention Mod S.K.G
35/73
35
3.1 Electrolyte concentration:
Consider a metal bathed in an electrolyte containing its own ions.
The basic corrosion reaction where a metal atom losses an electron andenters the electrolyte as an ion can proceed both forward andbackwards, and will eventually reach equilibrium.
If a region of the electrolyte (adjacent to the metal) were to exhibit adecreased concentration of metal ions, this region would become anodicto the other portions of the metal surface.
As a result, this portion of the metal would corrode faster in order toincrease the local ion concentration.
The net affect is that local corrosion rates are modulated in order to
homogenize reduction ion concentrations within the electrolyte.
-
8/6/2019 Corrosion & Prevention Mod S.K.G
36/73
36
3.2 Oxygen concentration:
Perhaps the most common concentration cell affectingengineered structures is that ofdissolved oxygen.
When oxygen has access to a moist metal surface,corrosion is promoted.
However, it is promoted the most where the oxygen
concentration is the least . As a result, sections of a metal that are covered by dirt or
scale will often corrode faster, since the flow of oxygen tothese sections is restricted.
An increased corrosion rate will lead to increased residue,
further restricting the oxygen flow to worsen the situation.Pitting often results from this "runaway" reaction.

GALVANIC SERIES
The relative nobility of a material can be predicted by measuringits corrosion potential.
The well known galvanic series lists the relative nobility of certainmaterials in sea water.
A small anode/cathode area ratio is highly undesirable. In this case, the galvanic current is concentrated onto a small
anodic area.
Rapid thickness loss of the dissolving anode tends to occur underthese conditions.
Galvanic corrosion problems should be solved by designing toavoid these problems in the first place.
Galvanic corrosion cells can be set up on the macroscopic level oron the microscopic level.
On the microstructural level, different phases or other
microstructural features can be subject to galvanic currents

GALVANIC SERIESContd
Galvanic series relationships are useful as a guide forselecting metals to be joined, will help the selection ofmetals having minimal tendency to interactgalvanically, or will indicate the need or degree ofprotection to be applied to lessen the expected potentialinteractions.
In general, the further apart the materials are in thegalvanic series, the higher the risk of galvaniccorrosion, which should be prevented by design.
Conversely, the farther one metal is from another, thegreater the corrosion will be.
However, the series does not provide any informationon the rate of galvanic corrosion and thus serves as abasic qualitative guide only.

Corrosion Performance of Metals contd..
Clearly any of the stainless steels would provide better life than mildsteel in hot concentrated nitric acid, but in hydrochloric acid only
the 12 per cent Chromium 12 per cent Nickel steel is significantly
better than the mild steel, which in the sulfuric acid is better than
any of the stainless steels, which in the sulfuric acid is better than
any of the stainless steels, costing about an order of magnitude moreper unit weight.
These differences are largely related to the differing oxidizing
characteristics of the acids, the corrosion resistance of stainless
steels mainly depending upon the formation of a protective
chromium oxide film upon their surfaces, so that in the absence of
an adequate supply of oxygen, as with the hydrochloric acids, the
chromium addition is of little benefit.

weathering steels.)
The weathering steel, Cor-Ten, owes its improvedcorrosion resistance over mild steel in industrial and ruralatmospheres to the development of an adherent rust filmdue to the incorporation of low-concentrations of certain
alloying elements, but the relative improvement in thoseatmospheres is not nearly so marked in a marineatmosphere.
When immersed in sea water Cor-Ten is not significantlybetter than mild steel and its use is not recommended insuch conditions, although there are examples of it havingbeen so used, no doubt because of its corrosion resistance inother situations and the assumption that this will be goodirrespective of the environment

The same point an be made in relation to other formsof corrosion; thus molybdenum additions to ferriticsteels are beneficial with respect to stress corrosioncracking resistance in carbonate environments, but aredetrimental in hydroxide solutions, and so on.
The general point to be grasped is that in specifying theoperating conditions for a component or structure it isvital that the environmental conditions be defined withas much precision as any other parameters, such as
stress, temperature etc. Only by so doing can the selection of a material from
the corrosion resistance viewpoint be madesatisfactorily.

-THE MOST COMMON METHOD OF CORROSION PREVENTION IS THE
SELECTION OF PROPER METAL & ALLOYS FOR A PARTICULAR
CORROSIVE SERVICE.-STAINLESS STEEL IS NOT STAINLESS,IT IS NOT MOST CORROSION-
RESISTANT, & IT IS NOT A SPECIFIC ALLOY.
- 30 DIFFERENT ALLOYS ( 11.5-30%Cr, 0-22% Ni).
- STAILESS STEELS ARE LESS RESISTANT ALLOYS IN CHOLIRADE-
CONTAINING MEDIUMS & STRESSED STRUCTURES THAN ORDINARY
STRUCTURAL STEEL.
-STAINLESS STEEL ARE MOST SUSCEPTIBLE TO LOCALISED
CORROSION- INTERGRANULAR CORROSION, STRESS CORROSION
CRACKING, & PITTING THAN ORDINARY STEELS.
- A LARGE NUMBER OF CORROSION FAILURE CAN BE DIRECTLY
ATTRIBUTED TO THE INDISCRIMIATE SELECTION OF STAINLESSSTEEL.
-STAINLESS SEELS REPRESENTS A CLASS OF HIGHLY CORROSION
RESISTANCE STEEL.
