By the nature of their use as jointing material, solders are usually presented to a corrosive environment as a small area within a much larger area of another metal. Thus, if the solder is anodic to the metal it joins, and if the corroding medium has good electrical conductivity, damaging corrosion is possible. 

In typical cause-and-effect mode, where chlorides penetrate the deposit or where a localized overconcentration of hydroxyl ions occurs, the magnetite film is disrupted and particular forms of very damaging corrosion occurs. In addition, where localized heat flux exceeds design limits within a boiler and may be accompanied by departure from nucleate boiling (DNB) conditions, overheating and metal failure may also occur. 

Initial hydrolysis would therefore lead to further hydrolysis and pH drop in storage tanks, resulting in a product that is difficult to recover and may cause irreparable damage (corrosion) in tanks, pipelines, and pumps. Therefore the pH must be kept high (9-11) to avoid acid material entering bulk storage (steep titration curve). If for product formulation requirements a product of pH 6-7 is essential, the use of buffers, e.g., phosphoric acid or citric acid, is recommended.

SAR (Structure Activity Relationships)/SPR (Structure Property Relationships) for eye irritation and skin corrosion are shown separately but in reality would probably be done in parallel. This stage should be completed using validated and accepted SAR/SPR approaches. The SAR/SPR analysis may identify serious eye damage, corrosion and irritation potential for both skin and eye effects ...

A statistical study of mine-hoist wire ropes showed that 66% of the ropes exhibited greatest loss in strength in the portion of the rope in contact with the shaft environment during its service life (26). The Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) of the US Department of Labor requires that wire ropes in service be visually examined for structural damage, corrosion, and improper lubrication or dressing (27). MSHA also requires performance of careful nondestructive testing (NDT) every 6 months and cites one instance where a contractor reported that four ropes were in acceptable condition for use in an elevator shaft. However, less than 6 weeks later, one of the four 12.7 mm (0.5 in.) diameter ropes broke and another was severely corroded with several broken wires (28). 

Example 3 Titanium usually eauses, in spite of its practical nobleness, little galvanic corrosion in contact with steel when the area ratio is about 1 1, because Ti is not an efficient eathode material (exceptions may occur in seawater wifli bacterial films). With a relatively large area of titanium, damaging corrosion may take place on steels, copper alloys ete.

Pipelines have special facilities. They include pumping stations, storage tanks, collection stations, and transfer stations. Most are above-ground facilities and part of the pipeline systems. Physical damage, corrosion, and component failures can lead to major disasters. Opening the wrong valve and not knowing what is in a system are common errors. 

ALWAYS inspect equipment before using it. If there is any sign of damage, corrosion, improper repair, or other defect, replace the equipment before you start the job.
