General Corrosion General corrosion is the most common form of corrosion that causes greatest mass loss of metal. It is attributed by uniform corrosion of the whole area subjected to the corrosive condition. Steel rust when it is exposed to weather is a common example. As the corrosion is linear with time, the service life … Continue reading Which alloys should be used in different types of corrosion
Acid solutions are widely used in chemical industry to eliminate mill scales from metallic surface. The inclusion of inhibitors suitable secures the metal against an acid corrosion. Usually acid inhibitors are organic compounds comprising of nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur. These compounds are adsorbed on the metallic surface blocking the active corrosion sites. Due to toxicity … Continue reading Corrosion behaviour of nickel and its alloys in HCl and its prevention by natural rosemary oil
