Model for the Correlation between Anodic Dissolution Resistance and Crystallographic Texture in API 5L Steels

Abstract

The present work shows a novel physical-mathematical model to estimate the average 12 corrosion resistance index from the crystallographic texture in API 5L steels. The crystallographic 13 texture of the studied steels was measured by means of the X-ray diffraction technique. The model, 14based on the symmetric spherical surface harmonics for a BCC structure, is capable of describing
