In uninhibited

Admiralty brass (70% Cu, 29% Zn, 1% Sn, 0.05% As or Sb) and arsenical aliuninum brass (76% Cu, 22% Zn, 2% Al, 0.05% As) are resistant to dezincification in most cooling water environments. In the recent past, heat exchangers have virtually always been tubed with inhibited grades of brass. Brasses containing 15% or less zinc are almost immune to dezincification. Dezincification is common in uninhibited brasses containing more than 20% zinc. Inhibiting elements include arsenic, antimony, and phosphorus. Without inhibiting elements. 

Time Constant Analysis, r is the relaxation time of the corrosion process and is dependent on the dielectric properties of the interface. r is given by r = R P, but can be measured independently r = wz"max Since and P vary with surface area in exactly opposite fashion, r (or wzBmax) should be independent of surface area. To verify that this is indeed the case, we examined the corrosion of N80 steel in uninhibited 15% HC1 at 65 C. With increasing exposure time, we observed a continuous decrease in R (hence an increase in corrosion rate) and a concomitant increase in P. And, as expected, wz"max did not vary at all (see Figure 8). 

Additionally, intoxication by inhalants often results in uninhibited behavior similar to alcohol intoxication. Sniffers are sometimes mistaken for being drunk and in many cases have been arrested for intoxication. This uninhibited and reckless behavior can result in accidents from poor judgment and impaired motor skills. 

Despite the lower rate in the presence of inhibitor, radioactively labelled palmitate was added to a CHCla-inhibited system. Table IV shows that butyrate was formed at a faster rate than formate, acetate, or propionate. The fact that butyrate was now one of the major end products of palmitate dissimilation indicates that secondary reactions involving acetate and/or propionate were probably serving to remove hydrogen produced during dissimilation since methanogenesis was inhibited in these experiments. This was partially verified by the findings that radioactively labelled acetate was converted to formate and butyrate at faster rates in inhibited than in uninhibited sludge. It is also possible that formation of butyrate indicates some alternative to -oxidation as a dissimilatory reaction. Acetate itself was formed from C02 in the presence or absence... 

Since organophosphorus PR s primarily work in the condensed or solid phase, development of less volatile molecules (either higher MW or reactive) will most likely reduce the risk of toxic phosphorus containing species in the smoke from burning materials such as plastics, fabrics and other combustible substrates.The effective inhibition of combustion, though, may cause an increase in the relative amount of carbon monoxide formed. But because less material is consumed, the total amount of toxicants and, therefore, the toxic hazard produced should be less than in uninhibited or poorly-inhibited combustion. 

It is evident from the foregoing considerations that there exists an influence of the ohmic drop, which will be dealt with further on, on the determination of the electrochemical parameters and the correct application of the methods of numerical analysis. Moreover, experience has shown that the success of numerical analysis depends also on the way the contribution of the ohmic drop to electrode overvoltage is reduced. In this respect, it may be mentioned, for example, that in the case of iron and carbon steels serious difficulties are met with the anedysis of polarization curves performed in uninhibited HCl solutions at temperatures above 65 °C [40] because the corrosion current density assumes very high values. 

Since these experiments were not carried out under ideally defined flow conditions the dependence of corrosion rate on flow rate will be discussed only in a qualitative manner. Under laminar flow conditions and mass transfer control one would have expected the corrosion rate to increase with the square root of the velocity while under turbulent conditions proportionality would prevail. However, in Fig.15 one finds that the corrosion rate varies approximately with the 0.2 to 0.3 power of the flow rate. It appears therefore that the observed dependence on the flow rate does not obey conventional mass transfer theory. A flow effect might be expected in uninhibited hydrochloric acid because hydrogen bubbles, formed on the surface of the metal, are faster and more easily removed at higher flow rates. While this argument could be applied in discussing Fig.15, we find in Fig.16 that the flow effect at similar corrosion rates is much less pronounced under deaerated conditions. We therefore have to conclude that the observed flow effect is not mechanical and cannot be related to pure mass transfer control either. In Fig.17, the flow dependence of the corrosion rate is shown for 2-butyne-l,4-diol in deaerated UN hydrochloric acid. Note that the corrosion rate appears to be noticeably affected only at the higher flow rates. Finally, in Fig.18, we observe that increased flow rate can either increase or decrease the corrosion rate in the presence of an inhibitor. This effect was observed reproducibly only in 6N hydrochloric acid with 2-butyne-l,U-diol under deaerated conditions for 0.2% and 0.1% inhibitor concentration. This behavior indicates that the corrosion rate is controlled by the superposition of two partial reaction rates each of which is mass transfer dependent to a certain extent. In terms of the model delineated in Table 6, it is suggested that the three-dimensional polymeric layer made up by inhibitor molecules is in fact a three-dimensional chelate made up of iron ions and inhibitor molecules. The corrosion rate is then... 

Corrosion Resistance of Aluminum Alloys Both welded and unwelded aluminum alloys are corrosion resistant in uninhibited nitric acid up to 50 °C. Above this temperature, most of the aluminum alloys exhibit knife-line attack adjacent to the welds. No knife-line attack was observed for any commercial aluminum alloy or weld at 70 °C in inhibited fuming nitric acid containing 0.1% hydrofluoric acid. 

Similar results were presented in [9]. In uninhibited CO2 environments it was observed that in general the P-factors were of the order of 15-20 mV for pH-statted test procedures. However, as soon as a corrosion product layer formed, the factors increased. It is for this reason that the original PAIR -meter by Petrolite pre-programmed a P-factor of 37 mV based on extensive laboratory and field calibrations [45]. Newer commercial instruments allow the user to dial in a value for the p-factor. However, this presupposes that the Tafel slopes are known, and since these cannot be reha-bly determined as indicated above, the user is still left to guess, unless calibration procedures are in place, such as weight loss determinations or iron counts. 

The values of Ret for the alloy in inhibited solution with NH were enhanced up to 10 times higher as compared to that of the value of Ret in uninhibited solution. Meanwhile, VL and TS shown better performance in improving the value of Ret for Al-Mg-Si alloy in studied aggressive solution, where they were increased the values up to 13 and 14 times higher, respectively. 

When the flow rate is high, it is possible that corrosion product or inhibitor protective films are removed, giving a high chance corrosion occurring. This kind of attack is also called erosion-corrosion. API RP-14E/15/ contains a simple formula for estimating the velocity beyond which accelerated corrosion due to erosion corrosion may occur. The formula is empirical and derived from field experiences, and is meant to describe the velocity of the possible onset of erosion-corrosion in uninhibited corrosive oil- and gas-well surface production equipment fabricated from carbon steel in the absence of sand ...
