Use of electrochemical current noise method to monitor carbon steel corrosion under mineral wool insulation

In this investigation, we developed a method based on electrochemical current noise to detect the onset of corrosion under insulation, its intensity, and the predominant form of corrosion (i.e., uniform or localised).

Characterization of Intergranular Phases in Precipitation Hardening Ni Alloy UNS N07725

This paper demonstrates for the first time the formation of F phase in the nickel-alloy 725 (UNS N07725) at grain boundaries (GBs). F phase is a detrimental TCP phase that plays a key role on hydrogen embrittlement.

Use of the Critical Acidification Model to Estimate the Influence of W in the Localized Corrosion Resistance of 25 Cr Super Duplex Stainless Steels.

The results obtained in this work point at a beneficial role of W in a stable propagating attack at temperatures T > TR. Even though the mechanism cannot be inferred from the data gathered, the dissolution in the W-rich specimen was diminished significantly.

Areas of expertise

Mechanically Assisted Corrosion

Mechanically assisted corrosion groups the most dangerous and costly forms of corrosion. Enter to discover how the Curtin Corrosion Centre studies corrosion facilitated or initiated by mechanical processes.

Areas of expertise

Localized Corrosion

Localized corrosion can lead the an extremely fast penetration rate, resulting in leakages and loss of containment. In this page you will discover our research and approaches to mitigate localized corrosion.

Areas of expertise

Microbiologically influenced Corrosion

Microbiologically influenced corrosion is a truly multidisciplinary field of research. This page describes Curtin Corrosion Centre leading MIC activities.

Areas of expertise

New directions – Concrete corrosion research

The Curtin Corrosion Centre has commissioned new facilities to study reinforced concrete corrosion and corrosion protection.

Areas of expertise

Acid Gas Corrosion

Dissolved acid gases such as carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide can lead to complex corrosion behaviour. In this page, you will learn more about acid gas corrosion research at the Curtin Corrosion Centre.
