    CORROSION RATE MEASUREMENTS

    Basic Corrosion Measurements


    If a piece of metal:

    corrodes to this:

    How would we know how much corrosion had occurred? Clearly, we need before and after measurements Mass?
    Weigh before, weigh after To be of any use, a weight loss measurement has to be scaled to the size of the specimen corrosion is a surface related phenomenon.

    Basic Corrosion Measurements


    Size?
    Length, Length , width and/or thickness before before
    What about after?

    Volume before and after by y liquid q displacement p


    Sensitive enough?

    M Mass? ?
    Weigh before, weigh after To be of any use, use a weight loss measurement has to be scaled to the size of the specimen corrosion is a surface related phenomenon.

    Basic Corrosion Measurement


    Because corrosion is a surface phenomenon, weight loss is related to surface area. For example: a metal coupon having a total surface area of 10 cm2 loses 1 mg when h exposed d to t a particular ti l environment i t for f a month; th

    1 mg Total corrosion = 10 cm 2
    which should be a characteristic amount for that metal in that environment in a month.

    mg Rate = 0.1 01 cm 2 month


    4

    Basic Corrosion Measurement


    Corrosion engineers traditionally work in units of dm2, thus:
    mg cm2 mg 0.1 2 10 100 = = 10 mdm 2 2 cm month dm dm month

    BUT even though mdms give reasonable numbers for most corrosion situations situations, the month is a bad unit

    So,

    mg dm 2 day

    are often used . mdd

    Basic Corrosion Measurement


    If we know the metal density density, we can convert the weight loss to penetration: for in g/cm3:

    1g mg cm 3 dm 2 x 5 = = 10 cm / day 2 2 dm day g 1000 mg 100 cm x

    Basic Corrosion Measurement


    However, we note that 1 cm = 104 m, thus:

    10

    cm x m day d x m 0.1 365 36.5 day day yr yr

    A Another th common unit it for f corrosion i penetration t ti (in (i the th US) i is the th mil or milli-inch per year (=0.001 in/year or mpy).

    m
    yr

    z mil 25.4 yr

    Basic Corrosion Measurement


    NOTE: these rates are averaged over the exposure time, and are quoted as if corrosion were constant with time though it often is not

    Corrosion rate 1 =

    M1 T1

    Corrosion rate 2 =

    M2 T2

    Basic Corrosion Measurement


    Often, our bit of metal ..

    after exposure, looks like this

    It is covered with scale. How would we assess corrosion under these conditions?

    Basic Corrosion Measurement


    Consider the scaling process
    Weight before = Wo [g] Surface area = A [dm2]

    Exposure time = [days] Find condition; weight after = W1 [g]

    10

    Basic Corrosion Measurement


    We can only be sure that the remaining metal provides an unequivocal reference, so Descale

    Descaled weight = W2 [g]

    11

    Basic Corrosion Measurement


    Total corrosion amount =
    (divided by for rate mdd mdd) ) We also have a measure of the weight of scale

    (W0 W2 ) 1000 mg mg 2 A 1g dm

    (W1 W2 ) g scale = A dm 2
    If we assume the scale is composed of Fe2O3, we can calculate the iron in scale as

    Fein scale Fein scale

    (W1 W2 ) = fraction of Fe in scale A 1000 mg (W W2 ) ( 2 56 ) = 1 A ( 2 56 ) + ( 3 16 ) 1g


    12

    Basic Corrosion Measurement


    Fein scale (W1 W2 ) mg = 700 A dm 2

    The difference between iron in scale and total amount corroded is either
    Iron released to environment OR Iron deposited p from environment

    13

    How Do We Descale?
    Chemically or electrochemically usually in weak acids (See Table 1.2). BUT such descaling can also dissolve some of the remaining metal, so how h do d we account t for f thi this? ?
    Employ an inhibitor Use a blank Figure 1.24. (ASTM G1)

    14

    Summary
    Simplest and most powerful technique for corrosion rate determination is the Weight Loss Technique Corrosion Rate = mass/[(exposed surface area] [time]) or = Average corrosion penetration depth/time = (mass/density/surface area/time) Common Corrosion Rate Units
    gmd: grams of metal loss per square meter per day (mdd (mdd) ) mm/y: / average millimeters illi t penetration t ti per year mpy: average mils penetration per year, 1 mil = 0.001 inch)

    Basic Corrosion Measurement (Non(Non -uniform Corrosion)


    NOTE: such corrosion measurements and units are useful for general or uniform corrosion but they dont work for localized corrosion (e.g. pitting or cracking). A component can fail by stress corrosion cracking (SCC) with no detectable weight loss

    16

    Basic Corrosion Measurement


    For these situations, we use concepts such as crack propagation rate o or pit p p propagation p g rate. For example:
    percent

    through through-wall wall for tubes tubes, pipes pipes, vessels vessels, etc etc.; ;

    crack depth or pit depth usually in mil or mm;

    propagation rate

    m
    yr

    mm etc. yr

    Hydrogen Permeation Monitoring


    The generation of atomic hydrogen, as part of the cathodic reaction in acidic environments, can be used for corrosion monitoring purposes. Hydrogen monitoring sensors are often attached to the outside walls of vessels and piping.

    Hydrogen Permeation Monitoring Principles

    Pot 2

    As hydrogen passes through the metallic wall of the vessel it enters a probe chamber attached tightly to the outside wall, leading to
    Pressure increase with time within the chamber An electrochemical current resulting from the oxidation of hydrogen under an applied potential A current generated in an external circuit, as hydrogen enters a miniature fuel cell.
