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.

Crevice Corrosion of Solution Annealed 25Cr Duplex Stainless Steels: Effect of W on Critical Temperatures.

In this paper, we showed that tungsten, when added as a solid solution element, improved the crevice corrosion resistance of 25Cr super duplex stainless steels.

Microbiologically influenced corrosion as a function of environmental conditions: A laboratory study using oilfield multispecies biofilms

In this paper, it is demonstrated that microorganisms can trigger severe corrosion rates in the absence of sulphate.

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

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.

Areas of expertise

Corrosion Protection

The Curtin Corrosion Centre conducts state-of-the-art research on corrosion inhibition, coatings, and electrochemical protection. Here you will learn more about corrosion protection and our approach to mitigate corrosion risks.

Areas of expertise

Atmospheric Corrosion

There is more to it than rust. Atmospheric corrosion is costly and can lead to catastrophic failures. Enter to discover how the Curtin Corrosion Centre helps mitigate the problem.
