Effect of vanadium and titanium modification on the microstructure and
mechanical properties of a microalloyed HSLA steel
اثر بهبود یکنوع فولاد میکروآلیاژی HSLA با وانادیم و تیتانیم بر ریزساختار و خواص مکانیکی آن
ABSTRACT
Microalloyed high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) steels are essentially low carbon low-alloy steels that contain small additions (0.001–0.1wt.%) of alloying elements such as Nb, V, or Ti. These steels exhibit an outstanding combination of high strength, resistance to brittle fracture and good weldability, particularly if the carbon content is kept below ∼0.1wt.% . Several categories of HSLA steels have been developed catering to the needs of specific applications, such as the construction of large ships, oil and gas transmission lines, and offshore oil drilling platforms.
Corrosion inhibition of carbon steel during acid pickling
جلوگیری از خوردگی فولاد کربنی در حین اسیدشویی
ABSTRACT
A novel cationic surfactant, N-(2-(2-mercaptoacetoxy)ethyl)-N,N-dimethyl dodecan-1-aminium bromide), has been synthesized to study its corrosion inhibiting effect against carbon steel in 1.0 M HCl solution. The corrosion inhibition efficiency was measured by using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), potentiodynamic polarization, and weight loss methods. The inhibition efficiencies obtained from these methods were in good agreement. The inhibition efficiency slightly decreased in the temperature range 30–60 °C. The synthesized inhibitor acted as a mixed inhibitor. Thermodynamic adsorption and activation parameters were discussed. Adsorption of the synthesized inhibitor was found to follow the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. A chemical adsorption mechanism is proposed.
