Corrosion and Erosion Analysis of Additive Manufactured Steel

This project investigates the corrosion and erosion behavior of additively manufactured stainless steels, focusing on their application in pipeline environments. The study aims to understand the impact of additive manufacturing on the corrosion resistance of these steels, specifically examining localized corrosion. The research involves analyzing the performance of erosion control mechanisms, such as electrochemical methods, and observing the effects of corrosion on the materials. The project also explores the influence of various factors, including the simulation of ground water structures and the impact of low nickel stainless steels, on the overall corrosion process. The goal is to establish a correlation between different mechanisms and provide insights into the practical implications of additive manufacturing on steel's performance. The project references several sources, including studies on lean duplex stainless steels, corrosion in oil and gas industries, and erosion-corrosion phenomena, providing a comprehensive overview of the subject matter.

Project aims and objectives
TO LEARN THE ADDITIVE-MANUFACTURING ON STAINLESS-STEEL
CORROSION-IMPACT AND CARRY OUT ANALYSIS ON THE EROSION
CONTROL MECHANISMS PERFORMANCE LIKE ELECTROCHEMICAL
AND COUPON-MECHANISMS MAKING OBSERVATIONS ON
LOCALIZED-CORROSION. THIS WILL HELP ESTABLISH THE
CORRELATION RELATIONSHIP OF SEVERAL MECHANISMS USED IN
THIS CASE AND THE OVERALL IMPLICATION OF ADDITIVE
MANUFACTURING ON STAINLESS-STEEL CORROSION EFFECTS.

Contidued…
TO DEVELOP AN UNDERSTANDING OF LOCALIZED-CORROSION
CONCEPT. THIS IS MAIN CONCERN OF SEVERAL INDUSTRIES
AND CIVIL-ORGANIZATIONS, FOR EXAMPLE, WATER-
STRUCTURE, GAS AND OIL. THIS WILL THEREFORE HELP TO
GAIN THE UNDERSTANDING ON HOW GROUND WATER-
STRUCTURE LOW NICKEL STAINLESS-STEEL GET SIMULATED
AND THE OVERALL NEGATIVE IMPACT OF CORROSION
RESISTIVITY ON LOW NICKEL STAINLESS-STEEL.
