  2. Passivation (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passivation_(chemistry)

    The surface of titanium and of titanium-rich alloys oxidizes immediately upon exposure to air to form a thin passivation layer of titanium oxide, mostly titanium dioxide. [27] This layer makes it resistant to further corrosion, aside from gradual growth of the oxide layer, thickening to ~25 nm after several years in air.

  3. Cathodic protection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathodic_protection

    Indeed, the electrons sent by the imposed current anode (composed of titanium and covered with MMO) prevents the inside of the tank from rusting. [ 19 ] In order to be recognized as effective, these anodes must comply with certain standards: A cathodic protection system is considered efficient when its potential reaches or exceeds the limits ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volatile_corrosion_inhibitor

    Emitter – VCI in the form of a capsule, foam, cup, etc., is placed within an electrical cabinet, junction box, etc., to provide corrosion protection to the various components inside the box. VCI emitters also provide best protection against H2S, SO2 , ammonia & humidity, It is mostly use in electrical components because it does not affect ...

  5. Titanium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titanium

    Welded titanium pipe and process equipment (heat exchangers, tanks, process vessels, valves) are used in the chemical and petrochemical industries primarily for corrosion resistance. Specific alloys are used in oil and gas downhole applications and nickel hydrometallurgy for their high strength (e. g.: titanium beta C alloy), corrosion ...

  6. Corrosion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrosion

    Often, it is possible to chemically remove the products of corrosion. For example, phosphoric acid in the form of naval jelly is often applied to ferrous tools or surfaces to remove rust. Corrosion removal should not be confused with electropolishing, which removes some layers of the underlying metal to make a smooth surface. For example ...

  8. High-temperature corrosion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-temperature_corrosion

    The semiconducting form is rich in vanadium pentoxide. [3] [5] At high temperatures or when there is a lower availability of oxygen, refractory oxides—vanadium dioxide and vanadium trioxide—form. These more reduced forms of vanadium do not promote corrosion. However, at conditions most common for burning, vanadium pentoxide gets formed.

  9. Underground storage tank - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underground_storage_tank

    Composite overwrapped, a metal tank (aluminum/steel) with filament windings like glass fiber/aramid or carbon fiber or a plastic compound around the metal cylinder for corrosion protection and to form an interstitial space. Tanks made from composite material, fiberglass/aramid or carbon fiber with a metal liner (aluminum or steel).
