Thermal spray guns are used today to deposit metallic powders as homogeneous and durable coatings with low porosity onto metals. The objective is to improve their wear resistance and their corrosion resistance in order to withstand conditions such as abrasion and erosion. This can improve the life of turbines, generators and such devices in environments found in ultra-supercritical coal-fired (AUSC) boilers, steam turbines and gas turbines (Mohammed & Cabrera, 2014). Industries like manufacturing, automobile and especially in the sustainable energy area, have used this technique to improve component characteristics, extend product life, increase performance as well as reduce production and …
Corrosion Protection Systems In Offshore Structures, Hristo Ivanov
Corrosion Protection Systems In Offshore Structures, Hristo Ivanov
Williams Honors College, Honors Research Projects
Corrosion plays a pivotal role in the engineering world. Engineers of all disciplines must consider the dangers that this phenomenon can incur. Interestingly, corrosion mitigation is not a topic that is addressed in most academic curricula. The goal of this paper is to give engineering students a brief introduction into corrosion and some of the prevention techniques commonly used today.
The design of a corrosion protection system for offshore structures is discussed in order to illustrate how these techniques can be utilized even in the most extreme environments. First, the driving force behind corrosion is examined, introducing the basic mechanics …
