Corrosion of the S235JR Carbon Steel after Normalizing and Overheating Annealing in 2.5% Sulphuric Acid at Room Temperature

Abstract

Abstract. The low-carbon steels offer economical properties of mean hardness, strength, and low corrosion resistance, but the steel can be welded without restrictions, usually. The structural low carbon steels have a ferritic-perlitic microstructure. The microstructure depends on the manufacturing technology and heat treatments of steel. This steel is not intended for heat treatment. However, due to the technological process, which is welding, the material often overheats. This overheating causes microstructure growth. The effect of larger grains of the steel microstructure is the reduction of its functional properties. Corrosion resistance is an essential factor in structural steel’s quality and application. The purpose of this article is to investigate corrosion resistance using weight loss and profile roughness parameters of typical structural steel in grade S235JR in 2.5% sulphuric acid solution in distilled water. Samples were tested after normalizing and superheating annealing. Corrosion tests show that continued corrosion characterizes tested steel in both corrosive environments. Roughness parameters for every one of the research times determine the size of steel corrosion.

Research on the Effectiveness of a Visual Protection of Military Objects in Field Conditions and in a Virtual Environment

“…Surface treatment techniques [15] and the ability to correct it through the application of additional coatings [16][17][18], combined with masking imperfections, would offer an excellent quality tool for reducing the visibility of non-removable structural joints [19,20]. These techniques may also be necessary at a later stage when the need arises for the renovation of vehicle coatings due to wear [21] and corrosion [22][23][24]. Conversely, the opposite action, avoiding masking, or even anti-masking, which signals presence, is necessary for certain devices or their components that may be hazardous or whose position should be immediately visible.…”

Experimental Results of Helical Metal Expansion Joints Fabrication

“…The installation of a compensator reduces the risks arising from the geometric imperfections of piping systems and their deformation under the influence of pressure and temperature changes. However, it also introduces new risks associated with corrosion [19,20] and biocorrosion [21], as well as joint fatigue [22,23] and wear [24,25]. The remedy for these problems lies in the proper selection of materials, both commonly used [26][27][28] and special alloys [29].…”
