Corrosion
“It is an interaction between a material, usually a metal, and its environment that
results in deterioration of the material, and the environment.”
Anything Common…??
Anything Different…??
Corrosion Definition.??
“It is an interaction between a material, usually a metal, and its environment that results
in deterioration of the material, and the environment.”
(A Groysman, Corrosion for everybody, 2010)
OR
It is extractive metallurgy in reverse.
OR
An electrochemical process between a metal/non metal and its environment that leads to
the deterioration of properties of the material
(MG Fontana, Corrosion Engg. 1987)
Think about:
• Dissolution of sugar and salt in water
• Burning (oxidation) of wood or paper Corrosion..??

Corrosion Science and Engineering
What a Corrosion Engineer should be capable of? ➢ Well acquainted with corrosion
science and corrosion engineering.
Corrosion engineer should know:
➢Chemical, metallurgical, physical and
mechanical properties of materials.

Corrosion Damages
• Plant shutdowns:
• nuclear plants,
• process plants, unexpected corrosion failure How to avoid..??
• power plants and plant shutdown
• refineries
• Loss of products:
• Containers
• storage tanks, Leakage due to unexpected
• fuel tanks corrosion failure
• water and oil transportation lines
25% of H2O is lost due to leakage problems..!!
• Loss of efficiency:
Insulation of heat exchanger tubing's and pipelines due to corrosion
products…thus loosing the heat exchanging efficiency
16

Corrosion Damages
• Contamination:
• Corrosion products may contaminate chemicals, pharmaceutical packaged goods,
etc. with dire consequences to the consumers.
• A very small amount of corrosion may introduce certain metals ions in the solution
which may catalyse the decomposition of the product.
• Nuclear hazards:
• The Chernobyl disaster (1986) is a continuing example of transport of radioactive
corrosion products in water, fatal to human, animal and biological life.
• Appearance:
• Structures have to be painted in order to avoid the rust appearance which is
unpleasing to the eyes.
• Outside surfaces of buildings are often made of stainless steel Al or Cu for the
sake of appearance and corrosion prevention.
17

Corrosion Damages
• Maintenance and operating costs
• Substantial cost savings can be made in plants by using corrosion resistant
materials in construction.
A poor choice of joining materials e.g. a bolt can lead to heavy costs.
e.g. Failure of a small component may lead to the destruction of the entire
structure.
• Design engineer and corrosion engineers must collaborate to devise a
combined strategy for an efficient corrosion prevention protocol because:
It is easier and cheaper to erase line on a drawing than to repair or replace a
failed equipment in the plant.
• Depletion of resources…!!! 18

• Design Stage,
• During Operation (maintenance and control)

MM-435_Corrosion Degradation and Protection
Question?
Ans:
Basically as the steel first corrodes the iron will be lost into
solution while the chromium oxide (Cr2O3) will stay on the
surface.
After a few atomic layers have been oxidised the surface
will be covered by a continuous layer of chromium oxide.
Although the steel is corroded on the atomic level, it
appears stainless.

Forms of Corrosion
Examples:
Steel screws corrode when in contact with brass
in a marine environment
This plate was immersed in seawater, crevice corrosion has occurred at the
regions that were covered by washers.
They ordinarily penetrate from the top of a horizontal surface downward in a nearly vertical direction.
