Topic Overview
● In this lecture we shall be considering the different types of corrosion, their morphology (i.e. what they look like) and we shall start to consider how they occurred.

Types of Corrosion● Fontana identifies eight forms of corrosion (see
Chapter 3 of the vermilion volume):
1.Uniform, or general attack2.Galvanic, or two-metal corrosion3.Crevice corrosion4.Pitting5.Intergranular corrosion6.Selective leaching, de-alloying or parting (including
graphitisation)7.Erosion corrosion, and8.Stress corrosion.

More Types of Corrosion
● We could also add loads more, but we’ll save them for the Materials and Corrosion Module, ENM233
● The first eight cover most that you will need to know about

3. Crevice Corrosion● Crevice or contact corrosion is the corrosion
produced at the region of contact of metals with metals or metals with non-metals.■ Crevice corrosion of Ti flange (below)

5. Intergranular Corrosion
● Stainless steel corroded in the Heat Affected Zone a short distance from the weld. (Weld decay)
● Heat sensitization● Typical of
intergranular corrosion in austenitic stainless steels.

6. Selective Leaching● Selective leaching, De-alloying or Parting● A fairly rare form of corrosion found in copper alloys (e.g.
dezincification of brass) grey cast iron, and some other alloys.■ De-alloying occurs
when the alloy loses the active component of the metal and retains the more corrosion resistant component in a porous "sponge" on the metal surface.
■ It can also occur by redeposition of the noble component of the alloy on the metal surface. © KSC Corrosion Lab. Used with permission.

6a. Graphitisation●Graphitisation
■ A form of leaching: the graphitisation of cast irons.
■ In slightly acidic waters both flake graphite (grey) and nodular graphite (ductile) irons are corroded due to the anodic behaviour of the matrix with respect to the cathodic graphite.
■ Ductile iron pipes were once assumed to be immune to graphitisation, but examples from both Ottawa and Toronto clearly show graphitisation in this pipe material.
■ The picture right shows an example of graphitisation in a ductile iron pipe.

6b. De-Nickelification● Cupronickel tubes get their
corrosion resistance by the formation of a passive oxide film on the exposed surface.
● The stability of this passive film requires that oxygenated water maintain access to the surface.
● Heavy deposits on the bottom of this tube resulted in stagnant, non-oxygenated water in contact with the cupronickel.
● Once the de-nickelification is started, it can be self-propagating because access of oxygen to the pit environment is limited.

7. Erosion Corrosion
14
● Mechanical wear effects or abrasion are usually involved as well.
● Erosion corrosion is the acceleration or increase in rate of deterioration or attack on a metal because of relative movement between a corrosive fluid and the metal surface.

8. Stress Corrosion
17
● Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) is caused by the simultaneous effects of tensile stress and a specific corrosive environment.
● Stresses may be due to applied loads, residual stresses from the manufacturing process, or a combination of both.
n Cross sections of SCC frequently show branched cracks.
n This ‘river branching’ pattern is unique to SCC and is used in failure analysis to identify when this form of corrosion has occurred.

8. Stress Corrosion● The microscopic intergranular
SCC of an aluminium aerospace part
● The intergranular nature of the corrosion can be seen in the scanning electron microscope image (lower)and in the cross section (upper)
● The arrows indicate the primary crack shown in both pictures.
● Note that secondary cracks are also apparent.
● Secondary cracks are common in stress corrosion cracking.

8. Stress Corrosion
● Section through the neck of a non-magnetic drill collar pin connection, which has been severed from the tool body for investigation.
● Red arrow points to a hairline stress-corrosion crack.
● Drill collars normally are subjected to high compressive and bending-under-compression loads, but relatively low tensile loads, except in the pin (male threaded end) connection. Photo: Owen S. Jenkins Ltd. Collection
