HjS is undesirable because of its toxicity and corrosive properties. COj can cause corrosion in the presence of water, and N2 simply reduces the calorific value of the gas as it is inert. [Pg.194]

Unprotected steel corrodes at a rate which is generally assumed to be 0.1 to 0.2mm per annum. Factors that influence the actual rate of corrosion include the maintenance program applied by the owner - particularly preservation of protective coatings, efficiency of cathodic protection systems in ballast tanks, corrosive properties of the cargo carried and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity. Under extreme conditions it has been known for the annual rate of corrosion on unprotected steel exposed on both surfaces to approach 1mm. [Pg.1048]

For example,copper has relatively good corrosion resistance under non-oxidizing conditions. It can be alloyed with zinc to yield a stronger material (brass), but with lowered corrosion resistance. Flowever, by alloying copper with a passivating metal such as nickel, both mechanical and corrosion properties are improved. Another important alloy is steel, which is an alloy between iron (>50%) and other alloying elements such as carbon. [Pg.923]

The enhanced strength and corrosion properties of duplex stainless steels depend on maintaining equal amounts of the austenite and ferrite phases. The welding thermal cycle can dismpt this balance therefore, proper weld-parameter and filler metal selection is essential. Precipitation-hardened stainless steels derive their additional strength from alloy precipitates in an austenitic or martensitic stainless steel matrix. To obtain weld properties neat those of the base metal, these steels are heat treated after welding. [Pg.347]

There is no specific antidote for acrolein exposure. Treatment of exposure should be directed at the control of symptoms and the clinical condition. Most of the harmful effects of acrolein result from its highly irritating and corrosive properties. [Pg.128]

Fluorosulfuric acid can be very corrosive. A study of the corrosive properties of fluorosulfuric acid during preparation and use showed carbon steel to be acceptable up to 40°C, stainless steel up to 80°C, and aluminum alloys up to 130°C (52). [Pg.249]

Table 2 Hsts some of the physical, toxicity, flammabiUty, and reactivity properties of common chemicals (10,13,42,45—51). Also given are some of the quantities specified for reporting spills and for compliance with legislated requirements. The OSHA regulations require that material safety data sheets (MSDS) be developed for all process materials, so that the ha2ard data can be communicated to employees (52). Characteristics of toxicity, flammabiUty, chemical iastabiUty, reactivity and reaction energy, operatiag coaditioas, and corrosive properties of constmction materials must all be considered ia analy2iag ha2ard poteatials of chemicals and chemical operations.

The two corrosion-resistant alloys presented ia Table 5 rely on chromium and molybdenum for their corrosion resistance. The corrosion properties of IJ1 timet are also enhanced by tungsten. Both alloys are available ia a variety of wrought product forms plates, sheets, bars, tubes, etc. They are also available ia the form of welding (qv) consumables for joining purposes. [Pg.376]

Compressor Configuration To propeny design a centrifugal compressor, one must know the operating conditions—the type of gas, its pressure, temperature, and molecular weight. One must also know the corrosive properties of the gas so that proper metallurgical selection can be made. Gas fluctuations due to process instabilities must be pinpointed so that the compressor can operate without surging. [Pg.926]

Grain boundaries have different corrosion properties from the grain and may corrode preferentially, giving cracks that then propagate by stress corrosion or corrosion fatigue (Fig. 23.10). [Pg.230]

The carbon residue is a measure of the carbon compounds left in a fuel after the volatile components have vaporized. Two different carbon residue tests are used, one for light distillates, and one for heavier fuels. For the light fuels, 90% of the fuel is vaporized, and the carbon residue is found in the remaining 10%. For heavier fuels, since the carbon residue is large, 100% of the sample can be used. These tests give a rough approximation of the tendency to form carbon deposits in the combustion system. The metallic compounds present in the ash are related to the corrosion properties of the fuel. [Pg.444]

Fan, corrosion-resistant A fan constructed from materials designed to withstand the corrosive properties of the gases being carried. [Pg.1438]

Bacterial examination could be used to confirm the presence of (and perhaps identify) the species. Where soluble oil is being degraded, or where a noticeable loss of anti-corrosion properties has been detected, a check on the pH (alkalinity/acidity) of the system would be advantageous. [Pg.871]

The corrosive properties of natural waters are governed by many factors and cannot be related to hardness alone, but the following trends are apparent ... [Pg.353]

Another mineral constituent of water is silica, present both as a colloidal suspension and dissolved in the form of silicates. The concentration varies very widely and, as silicates are sometimes applied as corrosion inhibitors, it might be thought that the silica content would affect the corrosive properties of a water. In general, the effect appears to be trivial the fact that silicate inhibitors are used in waters with a high initial silica content suggests that the form in which silica is present is important. [Pg.356]

The effect of alloying additions on the marine corrosion properties of non-ferrous metals can be very significant, and for copper-based alloys has been comprehensively reviewed by Bradley... [Pg.372]

As with other factors, no direct statements can be made relating the reaction of a soil to its corrosive properties. Extremely acid soils (pH 4 0 and lower) can cause rapid corrosion of bare metals of most types. This degree of acidity is not common, being limited to certain-bog soils and soils made acid by large accumulations of acidic plant materials such as needles in a coniferous forest. Most soils range from pH5 0 to pH8 0, and corrosion rates are apt to depend on many other environmental factors rather than soil reaction per se. The 45-year study of underground corrosion conducted by the United States Bureau of Standards included study of the effect of soils of varying pH on different metals, and extensive data were reported. [Pg.383]

It is notable that while it is possible to produce maraging steels with consistently uniform mechanical properties, the stress corrosion properties are subject to scatter, as indicated in Fig. 3.34. To a large extent this scatter is an indication of the greater sensitivity of s.c.c. resistance to metallurgical variables. Although the variation in cracking resistance is not well understood, and the reaction to certain treatments not always consistent, certain observations may be used to indicate guidelines for improved properties. [Pg.572]

Since buried pipes for water, sewage and gas are a major use of cast iron, the corrosion of buried iron structures needs special consideration in any study of the corrosion properties of cast iron. It is also a very complex topic that is not fully understood. [Pg.592]

Good quality steel is used and electrozinc is preferred for washing machines. Steel is pretreated with iron phosphate for economy electrozinc with a fine crystal zinc phosphate. No primer is normally used 25-40/im of finish is applied direct to metal. The required properties are best obtained with a thermosetting acrylic or polyester/melamine-formaldehyde finish. Self-reactive acrylics are usually preferred these resins contain about 15 Vo 7V-butoxymethyl acrylamide (CH2=CH —CO —NH —CHj—O —C4H,) monomer and cure in a manner similar to butylated melamine-formaldehyde resins. Resistance or anti-corrosive properties may be upgraded by the inclusion of small amounts of epoxy resin. Application is usually by electrostatic spray application from disc or bell. Shapes are complex enough to require convected hot-air curing. Schedules of 20 min at 150-175°C are... [Pg.631]

There has been much activity in this field of corrosion inhibition in recent years which appears to have been prompted by health and safety requirements. As with engine coolants, the use of nitrites, particularly where amines may also be present, needs to be considered carefully. Nitrites have been widely used in cutting, grinding, penetrating, drawing and hydraulic oils. Suggested replacements for nitrites and/or amines make use, inter alia, of various borate compounds, e.g. monoalkanolamide borates. Molybdates have also been proposed in conjunction with other inhibitors, e.g. carbox-ylates, phosphates, etc . Water-based metalworking fluids usually contain other additives in addition to corrosion inhibitors, e.g. for hard-water stability, anti-foam, bactericidal proderties and so on. Thus, claims are made for oil-in-water emulsions with bactericidal and anti-corrosion properties. [Pg.800]

A typical batch reactor (Figure 8.1) will be made of stainless steel or glass-lined steel. Stainless steel vessels have better heat transfer characteristics than their glass-lined counterparts and a wider array of reactor internals are available. Glass-lined vessels, on the other hand, can offer superior fouling or corrosion properties and are often used for reactions... [Pg.235]

Let us add here that the fabrication of polycrystalline semiconductive films with enhanced photoresponse and increased resistance to electrochemical corrosion has been attempted by introducing semiconductor particles of colloidal dimensions to bulk deposited films, following the well-developed practice of producing composite metal and alloy deposits with improved thermal, mechanical, or anti-corrosion properties. Eor instance, it has been reported that colloidal cadmium sulfide [105] or mercuric sulfide [106] inclusions significanfly improve photoactivity and corrosion resistance of electrodeposited cadmium selenide.
