Product Description
Corrosion failures of industrial components are commonly associated with welding. The
reasons
are many and varied. For example, welding may reduce the resistance to corrosion
and
environmentally assisted cracking by altering composition and microstructure,
modifying
mechanical
properties, introducing residual stress, and creating physical defects. This
book
details
the many forms of weld corrosion and the methods used to minimize weld
corrosion.
Chapters on specific alloys
groups-carbon and alloy steels, stainless steels, high-nickel alloys, and
nonferrous alloys-describe
both general welding
characteristics and the metallurgical factors that influence corrosion behavior.
Corrosion problems
associated with dissimilar
metal weldments are also examined.
Case histories document
corrosion problems unique to specific industries including oil and gas, chemical
processing, pulp and
paper, and electric power.
Special challenges caused by high-temperature environments are discussed.
Commonly used methods
to monitor weld corrosion
and test methods for evaluation of intergranular, pitting, crevice,
stress-corrosion cracking, and other
forms of corrosion are also
reviewed.
