Corrosion Definition (A)Corrosion is the surface wastage that occurs when metals are exposed to reactive environments. (B) Corrosion is the result of interaction between a metal and environments which results in its gradual destruction. (C) Corrosion is an aspect of the decay of materials by chemical or biological agents. (D) Corrosion is an extractive metallurgy in reverse. For instance, iron is made from hematite by heating with carbon. Iron corrodes and reverts to rust, thus completing its life cycle. The hematite and rust have the same composition (Fig. 1.1). (E) Corrosion is the deterioration of materials as a result of reaction with its environment (Fontana). (F) Corrosion is the destructive attack of a metal by chemical or electrochemical reaction with the environment (Uhlig).
3
Corrosion Consequence of corrosion (A) Plant shutdowns (B) Loss of products, leaking containers, storage tanks, water and oil transportation lines and fuel tanks (C) Loss of efficiency (D) Contamination
4
Corrosion Corrosion may severely affect the following functions of metals, plant and equipment (A) Impermeability (B) Mechanical strength (C) Dimensional integrity (D) Physical properties (E) Contamination (F) Damage to equipment
5
Corrosion Why do we need to study corrosion? (A) Materials are precious resources of a country (B) Engineering knowledge is incompletewithout an understanding of corrosion (C) Several engineering disasters have been witnessed in recent years (D) Corrosion is a threat to the environment
6
Corrosion For corrosion to take place, the formation of a corrosion cell is essential -Anode -Cathode -Electrolyte - Metallic path.
7
Corrosion Anodic and cathodic reaction
8
Corrosion Anodic reaction characteristic Cathodic reaction characteristic Cathodic reactions are reduction reactions which occur at the cathode
9
Corrosion Mechanism of corrosion Details of reactions
10
Corrosion Corrosion as chemical reaction Corrosion in acid
11
Corrosion Corrosion as chemical reaction Corrosion in neutral and alkaline solution The corrosion of metals can also occur in fresh water, seawater, salt solutions, and alkaline or basic media. The most familiar corrosion of this type is the rusting of iron when exposed to a moist atmosphere
12
Corrosion Corrosion electrochemistry a piece of zinc immersed in hydrochloric acid solution is undergoing corrosion
13
Corrosion Corrosion electrochemistry
14
Corrosion Concept of free energy in electrochemical reaction The contribution made by one mole of any constituent, A, to the total free energy, G, of a mixture is G A, which may be represented by Gibbs–Helmholtz equation
15
Corrosion Concept of free energy in electrochemical reaction For reversible process At constant pressureAt constant temperature
16
Corrosion Concept of free energy in electrochemical reaction For chemical reaction for 1 mole of forward reaction At equilibrium
17
Corrosion Concept of free energy in electrochemical reaction Free energy as the driving force of chemical reaction
18
Corrosion Concept of free energy in electrochemical reaction Free energy as the driving force of chemical reaction
19
Corrosion Concept of free energy in electrochemical reaction Free energy as the driving force of chemical reaction
20
Corrosion Application of free energy to corrosion cell It is known that corrosion reactions produce electrical energy. The amount of work done by a cell is equal to the quantity of electrical energy which it generates under constant pressure, temperature and concentration of the reaction.
