Material Applications: Alternative Corrosion Resistant Materials

admin — Tue, 01 Dec 2020 20:52:23 +0000

Coatings of various types are often used to enhance corrosion resistance in metals when metallic properties like strength or durability are needed for the application. There are, of course, also non-metallic solutions often used to protect against corrosion. As with most alternative corrosion materials, there are advantages and disadvantages associated with each. Ceramics Ceramics are…

What Is Pitting Resistance Equivalency Number (PREn)?

admin — Tue, 01 Dec 2020 20:47:32 +0000

The Pitting Resistance Equivalency Number (PREn) is an objective way to do an initial comparison of the relative resistance to corrosion of various metals. It is based on a calculation that considers the weight percentage of alloying elements. Pren Number Formula: PREn = % Cr + (3.3 x % Mo) + (30 x % N)…

Material Applications: Corrosion Types

admin — Tue, 24 Nov 2020 22:22:12 +0000

No engineering alloy is immune to corrosion; each has its own corrosion rate depending on the environment in which it is placed. This paper identifies some common types of corrosion, what the results of its presence may be, and how it may be minimized. What Are The Different Types of Corrosion? Uniform Corrosion This mode…

Material Applications: Corrosion Resistant Alloys

admin — Tue, 24 Nov 2020 01:14:07 +0000

Corrosion is the loss of metal due to a reaction with the environment, and is measured as the percentage of weight loss or as the penetration rate of the corrosion, perhaps measured in inches per year. Corrosion can develop in the presence of liquids or gases. It may occur at any temperature, although generally the…
