Use of Primers as a Concrete Repair Method in Corroded Columns of Buildings Exposed to a Tropical Marine Environment—Influence on Adjacent Zones

host posted on August 22, 2011 16:39

P. Castro-Borges
Concrete structures damaged by corrosion along the Yucatan coast (Mexico) are usually repaired without following current specifications. Consequently, most repairs, especially those involving primers, are not always effective. There are still many concerns regarding the use of primers as a repair ...

Localized Corrosion Resistance of 21% Cr Ferritic Stainless Steel

host posted on August 22, 2011 16:39

E. Nunez Moran, G. S. Frankel, and Y. H. Kim
The localized corrosion resistance of three ferritic stainless steels containing 21% Cr and different amounts of Ca was determined and comparison was made with Type 304 (UNS S30400) stainless steel (SS) as a benchmark. The Ca content had an insignificant effect on the resistance to localized corro ... [Corrosion 67, 095005 (2011)] published Thu Sep 01, 2011.

Effects of Nb and Cr on the Corrosion Characterization of Al-Containing Transformation-Induced Plasticity Steels in Neutral Chloride Solutions

host posted on August 22, 2011 16:39

F. El-Taib Heakal, O. S. Shehata, and N. S. Tantawy
Electrochemical measurements were used to characterize the effect of Nb and Cr on the corrosion behavior of two types of Al-bearing transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP) steels in naturally aerated sodium chloride (NaCl) solutions over a wide concentration range. In all cases, the open-circuit ... [Corrosion 67, 095006 (2011)] published Thu Sep 01, 2011.
