PART I - Multiple choices (0.5 points each question)

1. What is the difference between the corrosion product produced at the surface of carbon
steel vs Stainless? What is the name and composition of the layer of corrosion products
formed on the surface of stainless steel? What is the main alloy element on stainless steel?

2. Chrome Carbide particles (Cr23C6) form at grain boundary at the stainless steel. What is the
type of corrosion name for this mechanism?

3. Pt (Platinum) is a very active or noble material. Justify your answer.

4. Name the four elements necessary for a electrochemical corrosion occurred

5. Area effect the corrosion. Explain why large cathode and small anode accelerate corrosion

6. Which factors affect atmospheric corrosion. Explain

7. What is Crevice corrosion. Where are the most typical sites you can find it.

8. Hydrogen embrittlement is the process by which various metals, most importantly high-
strength steel, become brittle and crack following exposure to an specific element. Could you
identify the element and explain the mechanism.

9. Which test is used to evaluate the resistance of materials to the atmospheric environment?

10. How the corrosivity of aqueous environments can be reduced?

11. What are the most common form of erosion corrosion?

12. Pitting is considered to be more dangerous than uniform corrosion damage. Why?

13. Oxygen reaction in acid solution:


a) O2 + 2H2O + 4e- → 4OH-
b) 4OH- → O2 + 2H2O + 4e-
c) O2 + 4H+ + 4e- → 2H2O
d) 2H2O→ O2 + 4H+ + 4e-
14. Explain why the area ratio of anode to cathode is important in corrosion

15. Investigate why natural gas wells can be corrosive

16. A tubing fail in the field and was replaced in October 2012 by a new one. The tube has a
thickness of 0.505” (inches). The actual thickness measured in January 2022 was 0.485”.
What is the corrosion rate, based on mils per year in January 2022?

17. What is corrosion allowance?

18. What is a shear stress? And why is important to take in consideration during the testing in
the lab?

19. The inhibitive property of different corrosion inhibitors (CI’s) on the corrosion of carbon
steel in presence of 1HC solution were studied using weigh loss. Calculate the actual corrosion
of the blank solution and the solution inhibited for different immersion times, and the inhibition
efficiency as well. Indicates which equations are you use for the calculations.

Weight loss Corrosion rate Inhibition efficiency


Product (g/cm2) (mpy) (%)
24 h 48 h 72 h 24 h 48 h 72 h 24 h 48 h 72 h
Blank 2.12 2.73 3.58
CI-1 0.98 1.10 1.26
CI-2 0.90 1.04 1.10
CI-3 0.74 0.83 0.97
20. The results from LPR were obtained for 4 different corrosion inhibitors and the blank.
Explain the graph:
a) Why corrosion rates are all high at the beginning?
b) Why corrosion rates decrease after 2 hours?
c) Which inhibitor is performing best, and which is the worst?
