Galvanic Corrosion: Contact Between Different Metallic Materials.
Corrosion and Stainless Steel: How Trigger and Prevent it?
Today we wanted to talk about corrosion, a theme that is often recurring in the questions that come to us on our blog. In fact, the word “stainless” makes us believe that components made of stainless steel are indestructible. Corrosion: what basic precautions to avoid it? Many industrial sectors (e.g. food, chemical, petrochmical, construction, transport, […]
How to Use Duplex Stainless Steel?
Today we talk about duplex stainless steels. The latter are ferrous steels with a mixed crystalline grain structure of austenite and ferrite. How would you classify these steels? And what are their distinctive characteristics? What are two-phase steels? As mentioned earlier, the microstructure of duplex stainless steels (or two-phase) is called “hybrid”. This precisely because […]
How to Prevent Localised Corrosion of Stainless Steel?
After talking about general corrosion in our previous blog post, today we would like to focus on another type of corrosion. In the specific, we shall treat, about localised corrosion. What is localised corrosion? Contrary to general corrosion, the localised corrosion only occur on certain parts of the metal surface. So, only locally. This corrosion […]
