Bubbling corrosion

خوردگی حبابی

Introduction

This type of corrosion is a type of localized corrosion in which mechanical factors also play a role. This type of corrosion is seen on metal surfaces in contact with the fluid. Blistering damage is caused by simultaneous corrosion delays and mechanical stresses.

 

Blistering corrosion is very similar to fretting corrosion, but there is a difference in the appearance of the attacks. In blister attacks, deep holes are created in the surface, often locally close to each other. Thus, a rough and spongy surface is the result of this type of corrosion. Stainless steel, some nickel alloys and titanium alloys are very resistant to damage caused by this type of corrosion.

Equipment such as condensers, impellers, vacuum pumps, valve outlets and pipe bends are most susceptible to blistering corrosion. Examples of blistering corrosion are shown below.

Bubbling corrosion mechanism

In short, the working mechanism is that due to the movement of the fluid in different parts, a pressure difference is created, and this pressure difference causes the formation of bubbles in the fluid. The bubbles burst when they hit the metal surface, which creates high pressure (pressures of 60,000 psi) in such a way that the surface protective layer is peeled off and the metal without a protective layer is exposed to the corrosive environment and corrosion reactions continue. The steps of this mechanism are as follows:

  • A bubble forms on the surface protective layer.
  • The bubble bursts and destroys the surface protective layer.
  • The new metal surface is exposed to the corrosive environment and the surface protective layer is formed again.
  • Another bubble forms in the same place and the above steps are repeated again.

By repeating this action, deep holes are created on the surface of the part and corrosion increases.

 

To combat this type of corrosion, the possibility of bubble formation must be minimized in the initial design, otherwise the metal surface must be covered with a resistant layer (for example, a polymer layer).

Caustic corrosion

Localized corrosion caused by the concentration of caustic or alkaline salts, which usually occurs under conditions of high evaporation or heat transfer. Caustic salt or caustic soda is one of the most widely used ionic compounds and is used in various industries including water treatment, cardboard and paper production, oil and refinery industries, aluminum production industries, food industries, alcohol production and glass.

Corrosion is a natural phenomenon that occurs as a result of the electrochemical reaction of metal with the surrounding environment. In the oil and gas industry, corrosion is one of the major problems that accounts for a huge amount of money annually. Part of these amounts are related to the corrosion of pipes or oil transmission lines. Effective ways to prevent corrosion of oil transmission and storage equipment are divided into two categories: physical and chemical solutions.

couponing

The coupon method or corrosion coupons is the simplest method of corrosion monitoring. Coupons are the oldest corrosion monitoring tool. Corrosion coupons are small pieces of metal or alloy of the material of interest that are immersed in the process medium and removed after a specified period of time and their weight or dimension loss is evaluated and examined.

Deaerators

Deaerators are mechanical devices that remove dissolved gases from the boiler feedwater. By reducing the concentration of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the solution, they minimize corrosion and protect the boiler from the effects of corrosive gases.
