The Corrosion Process in Pipelines
Learn about the fundamental reasons why metals, particularly carbon steel, corrode when used in pipeline construction. The video explains how the energy put into steel during its creation—from iron oxide through processes like blast furnaces and Bessemer machines—causes it to seek a return to its natural state as iron oxide once buried in the ground. This reversion is the core of the corrosion process. The video also covers critical factors that influence corrosion, such as anode-to-cathode size ratios, the role of environmental salts, microbial-induced corrosion (MIC), and the impact of temperature differentials. Learn how to identify and address various types of corrosion, including crevice corrosion and pitting, to better protect your pipeline infrastructure.
