CoCrMo alloys have been used for several decades in implantable devices due to their favourable mechanical properties, low wear rate in addition to good biocompatibility and high corrosion resistance. These alloys are conventionally produced via casting and/or forging route, however additive manufacturing techniques being recently employed in their fabrication. In this work, CoCrMo samples were produced by dire...
Extension of sensitized zone (SZ) in welded AISI 304 stainless steel was determined by two non-destructive electrochemical tests: double loop electrochemical potentiokinetic reactivation technique (DLEPR) and local electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (LEIS). Welding was carried out using the shielded metal arc with two selected welding energies: the first one (0.7kJmm¡1) does not promote the sensitization of...
The electrochemical behavior of solution-annealed grade 300 and grade 350 maraging steels subjected to two different aging temperatures in an aqueous hydrofluoric acid (HF) medium was evaluated. The microstructural and hardness studies showed the effects of the chemical composition and heat treatments on the material properties. Although it is not possible to observe them, the fine intermetallic composites depo...
Superferritic steels are characterized by high Cr content (exceeding 25 wt.%) with addition of Mo. They were originally developed for use in heat exchangers and marine environments. Current trend to use these alloys in the oil industry drives the research on effect of the increased Mo content on the microstructure of these steels. Mo increases the resistance to naphthenic corrosion. The α'(alpha prime) phase pr...
The present study aims to evaluate the corrosion resistance of twohigh manganese steels with respect to the 9% Nickel steel in 0.001M NaCl electrolyte solution. For this research, twosteels with 22%, 27% manganese were used, and the alloy of 9% Nickel which is widely used in the petrochemical industry. The tests carried out to compare the corrosion resistance were the open circuit potential (OCP) and anodic lin...
ASTM 890 grade 3 stainless steel duplex (AID) has great use in the oil tube industry in Brazil and worldwide. The material of the time variation necessary to solubilize a material is important, therefore, by decreasing this time, it can become spent with an furnace. The objective of this paper is the comparison of results for the different solubilization times of ASTM 890 grade 3A molten duplex stainless steel....
The rebar are produced by hot rolling process. In the process studied here there are two distinct production routes. Prior to the hot rolling process, one route uses the reheat step through the furnace, and the other uses the semi-finished steel product directly from the solidification process. When establishing a comparison between the routes, the obtained microstructures show some differences. The objective o...
The use of green inhibitors in the corrosion of SAE J403 1020 carbon steel is an economical and environmentally accessible alternative because, regarding to the commercial inhibitors generally used, they are easily obtainable, and since they are acquired from vegetables, don't represent a risk to the environment. Thus, the present work aims to evaluate the use of aroeira leaves as a corrosion inhibitor for SAE ...
The present study aims to evaluate the corrosion resistance of two high Manganese steels in relation to the 9%Nickel steel in electrolyte solution 0.001M of H2SO4. For this research, two steelswith 22% and 26% of Manganese were used, and the 9% Nickel steel that is widely used in petrochemical industry. The tests carried out to compare the corrosion resistance are: Open Circuit Potential (OCP) and Anodic Linear...
As a final part of the steel production chain, continuous casting exposes its rollers to high process temperatures, thermal/mechanical fatigue, abrasive wear and corrosion damage. Martensitic stainless steels are the most widely used in industry and collapse from the emergence of failures as a result of the nucleation and propagation of pits and cracks. Pitting and crevice corrosion are the most common and the ...
