Abstract
- Corrosion Failure Analysis: This presentation reviews the process of metallurgical evaluation as it relates to failures due to corrosion. The basic steps of the metallurgical examination will be discussed. The presentation will define the primary types of corrosion and their characteristics, such as uniform corrosion, galvanic and pitting corrosion, MIC, stress corrosion cracking, and others. If we know how the component corroded, we can identify why it corroded and have the opportunity to correct the situation. Case studies will be used to illustrate the different types of corrosion and provide typical examples of how metallurgical evaluations can aid in the identification of the root cause for a corrosion issue.
