(2014-12-12)Corrosion induced deterioration is one of the main reason for repair and rehabilitation programs in conventional steel reinforced concrete bridge decks. Of all bridges in the United States, over 50 percent are constructed ...
-
(2017-12-12)Corrosion control of buried assets usually involves a redundant shield: a coating system as a physical barrier, and a cathodic protection system as an ad hoc defense. Characterization and localization of defects in the ...
-
(2017-07-18)In the event that a nuclear core cooling pipe ruptures, a loss of coolant accident (LOCA) scenario begins. Precipitates from dissolved ions can form and cause the emergency backup pumps to fail. Two aluminum products, an ...
-
(2012-10-19)Corrosion is the most important mechanical integrity issues the petrochemical industry has to deal with. While significant research has been dedicated to studying corrosion, it is still the leading cause of pipeline failure ...
-
(2021-12-06)Corrosion of metals has been nominated as one of the major issues that contribute to material degradation which can ultimately trigger economic losses via unexpected accidents including material failure. The service period ...
-
(2017-07-13)In the oil and gas industry, corrosion damage during treatments often occurs due to the use of corrosive treatment fluids and can result in problems such as tubular or equipment failure, and leaking. These problems can ...
-
(2020-04-30)Shape memory alloys (SMAs) are in class of active materials with the capability to undergo and recover large deformations upon subjecting to certain external stimuli, i.e. temperature and mechanical load. This capability ...

Effect of cumulative seismic damage and corrosion on life-cycle cost of reinforced concrete bridges (2009-05-15)Bridge design should take into account not only safety and functionality, but also the cost effectiveness of investments throughout a bridge life-cycle. This work presents a probabilistic approach to compute the life-cycle ...
-
(2011-08-08)The effect of silica nanoparticles on corrosion of steel by molten carbonate eutectic (42.7 percent Li2CO3, K2CO3) was investigated. The experimental design was based on static coupon immersion methodology where a coupon ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1982)One of the most productive means of obtaining conservation of energy lies in the improvement of the fuel-to-steam efficiency of high pressure steam generating boilers. Boilers operating at steam pressures of 100 psig and ...
-
(2016-05-19)As the petroleum industry has moved to deeper formation at high temperatures (>200°F) in more corrosive environments, both stimulation fluids and well tubing metallurgies have changed. Traditional well stimulation fluids ...
-
(2014-09-29)The present study measured the corrosion properties of Ti-6Al-4V parts produced with Electron Beam Melting machine (EBM). Potentiodynamic and potentiostatic tests were applied on EBM Ti-6Al-4V in 3.5% mass NaCl solution, ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992)A rotating disc electrode technique was used to grow calcareous deposits on low carbon steel specimens in ASTM substitute ocean water at room temperature in the laboratory. Concurrently, a first principle mathematical model ...
-
(2012-07-16)The railroad industry plays a pivotal role in commerce and greatly impacts America's economy. With this in mind, they cannot afford downtime or service interruptions due to bridge or member replacement. Corrosion of bridges ...
-
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 1998)This presentation will develop themes associated with the selection and fabrication of materials for use in chemical, petrochemical, and energy production. Fundamentals underlying these themes will be covered. The role of ...
-
(2021-12-10)Acid treatments are commonly used in the oilfield to remove inorganic scale or to stimulate formations. These treatments typically consist of mineral acids such as hydrochloric acid (HCl), organic acids, or chelating ...
-
(2016-11-03)The release of corroded alumina during a Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA) leads to deposition of these particles on the strainer, which consequently introduces a head loss that can cause shutdown of the cooling system. Salts ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)Concepts for the development of a model to predict natural gas transmission pipeline lifetime in a corrosive environment are constructed. Primarily, the effects of environmentally assisted cracking (EAC) are explored. ...
-
(2019-11-01)Improving the strength, and the corrosion resistance of aluminum alloys simultaneously through aging treatment, and grain refinement is a challenge as these two properties are mutually exclusive. In this work, we investigated ...
