Corrosion Prevention, Matthew Walker
Corrosion Prevention, Matthew Walker
Physics
In Insulated Solar Electric Cooking (ISEC), heating is done by passing current through a chain of diodes directly connected to a solar panel (Gius et al, 2019). It is crucially important that the wires remain conducting, but not conduct to any metal surface that might short the heating circuit. Corrosion of any wires will cause a loosening of the mechanical (twisted) wire connection and could result in a loss of electrical connection completely, or undesired increased resistance.
The Electrochemistry Of Hydrogen Peroxide On Uranium Dioxide And The Modelling Of Used Nuclear Fuel Corrosion Under Permanent Disposal Conditions, Linda Wu
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
This thesis reports a series of investigations examining the corrosion process of used nuclear fuel under permanent disposal conditions. The motivation of the project is that the safety assessment of deep geological disposal of spent nuclear fuel requires a fundamental understanding of the processes controlling fuel corrosion which could lead to the release of radionuclides to the geosphere from a failed container.
One primary objective of this project was to develop a computational model in order to simulate fuel corrosion under the disposal conditions. A series of simulations based on COMSOL were designed and developed to determine the influence of …
Role Of Nanophase Oxides In Short-Term Atmospheric Corrosion Of Structural Steels, Rama Balasubramanian
Role Of Nanophase Oxides In Short-Term Atmospheric Corrosion Of Structural Steels, Rama Balasubramanian
Physics Theses & Dissertations
Systematic studies on the development of nanophase iron oxides in the corrosion products of carbon and weathering steel were performed to understand the role of nanophase oxides in short-term atmospheric corrosion. Similarities and/or differences between short-term and long-term atmospheric corrosion were established by studying carbon steel and weathering steel coupons exposed in mild marine environments for short-term and comparing it with previously established long-term data. Influence of substitutional elements, in particular chromium, in forming nanophase goethite was investigated. Crystallographic, magnetic and morphological properties of nanophase chromium substituted goethite have been characterized in order to understand the protective nature of chromium-substituted …
Characterization Of Iron Oxides And Atmospheric Corrosion Of Steel, Sei Jin Oh
Characterization Of Iron Oxides And Atmospheric Corrosion Of Steel, Sei Jin Oh
Physics Theses & Dissertations
The study of corrosion behavior was performed using three different analytical techniques, which provided information on the formation, development and layering of iron oxides on the corrosion products as a function of atmospheric conditions, exposure time and type of steel. In particular, the protective layer formed on weathering steel was investigated as a function of different amounts of alloying elements in the steel, atmospheric conditions and exposure times. Combined together, the results provided a better understanding of the atmospheric corrosion behavior of steel, and formed a part of database of the atmospheric corrosion characteristics.
