Download or read book On Probabilistic Transition Rates Used in Markov Models for Pitting Corrosion written by Michael Ryan Workman and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A stochastic initiation and propagation model is developed to predict the effects of pitting corrosion on susceptible metals. The model relies upon an inhomogeneous Markov chain system in order to describe the propagation of pit depths throughout a discretized set of states. This work mainly examines the flexibility of the model with respect to the probabilistic transition rates [lambda subscript i] used in the Markov system. Depending on the form of [lambda subscript i], either an analytical or a numerical solution procedure can be used to solve the Markov system, with the numerical form of [lambda subscript i] being able to simulate a wider variety of systems, especially for dynamically changing environments. By modifying the expression of [lambda subscript i], increases or decreases, cyclical changes, or abrupt shifts in environmental corrosivity are studied. Simplifications to the model are also suggested for the sake of computational efficiency. A tool in the form of a Mathematica Computational Document is offered as an example of the model's possible use in industry. Additionally, suggestions are made in regard to metastable pitting and situations where the metal begins in a corroded state. The model is flexible enough to handle these scenarios as long as appropriate data is available.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper develops a basic foundation for a tool that can be used to predict the probability of a leak occurring in a oil pipeline due to pitting corrosion. The methodology is directly applicable to other steel equipment and infrastructure. Using a simple Markov chain process, we formulate equations for probability distributions of a pit being in a defined set of corroded states. Each state represents a specific pit depth. By adjusting transition rates between states we represent the corrosivity and mitigation conditions to which the oil pipeline is subjected. The transition rate models used here are flexible and capable of accommodating a wide range of corrosivity and mitigation scenarios. We discuss hypothetical cases, such as increasing CO2 content in oil causing gradual corrosion versus an episodic event causing rapid changes in the corrosivity conditions, demonstrating the ability to make adjustments to the model in order to simulate varying operational conditions.

This book was released on 2024-04-06 with total page 777 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corrosion and Corrosion Protection of Wind Power Structures in Marine Environments: Volume 1: Introduction and Corrosive Loads offers the first comprehensive review on corrosion and corrosion protection of offshore wind power structures. The book provides extensive discussion on corrosion phenomena and types in different marine corrosion zones, including the modeling of corrosion processes and interactions between corrosion and structural stability. The book addresses important design issues, namely materials selection relative to performance in marine environments, corrosion allowance, and constructive design. Active and passive corrosion protection measures are emphasized, with special sections on cathodic corrosion protection and the use of protective coatings. Seawater related issues associated with cathodic protection, such as calcareous deposit formation, hydrogen formation and fouling, are discussed. With respect to protective coatings, the book considers for the first time complete loading scenarios, including corrosive loads, mechanical loads, and special loads, and covers a wide range of coating materials. Problems associated with fouling and bacterial-induced corrosion are extensively reviewed. The book closes with a chapter on recent developments in maintenance strategies, inspection techniques, and repair technologies. The book is of special interest to materials scientists, materials developers, corrosion engineers, maintenance engineers, civil engineers, steel work designers, mechanical engineers, marine engineers. Offshore wind power is an emerging renewable technology and a key factor for a cleaner environment. Offshore wind power structures are situated in a demanding and challenging marine environment. The structures are loaded in a complex way, including mechanical loads and corrosive loads. Corrosion is one of the major limiting factors to the reliability and performance of the technology. Maintenance and repair of corrosion protection systems are particularly laborious and costly. Explores the literature between 1950 and 2020 and contains over 2000 references Offers the most complete monograph on the issue Covers all aspects of corrosion protection in detail, including coatings, cathodic protection, corrosion allowance, and constructive design, as well as maintenance and repair Delivers the most complete review on corrosion of metals in marine/offshore environments Focuses on all aspects of offshore wind power structures, including foundations, towers, internal sections, connection flanges, and transformation platforms
