    摘要: The present invention is directed to a process for corrosion resistance evaluation of coated metals substrates, such as autobodies. An anode and cathode coated with protective coating being tested are exposed to an electrolyte in a chamber of a corrosion resistance evaluator. These coatings are provided with predetermined and standardized defects, such as micro-holes to accelerate the corrosion of the underlying metal substrate in a predictable and repeatable manner. The coated cathode/anode pair is subject to a start-up period followed by series preset DC voltages for preset durations that are interspaced with recovery periods. The impedance data collected are then used to arrive at the corrosion performance resistance of the coating applied over the cathode/anode pair. The foregoing evaluator substantially reduces the time required to test corrosion from several days (40 plus days) to few days (about two days).

    摘要: A system and method for online monitoring of corrosion of a pressure vessel (12) is disclosed. First and second electrodes (40) may be isolated from each other in a wall (28) of the pressure vessel (12) and exposed to a corrosive environment within the pressure vessel (12). Additionally, the first and second electrodes (40) may be electrically coupled such that, when an electrical potential difference exists between the electrodes (40), an electrical current flows between the first electrode (40) and the second electrode (40). The electrical potential difference and/or the electrical current flowing between the electrodes (40) may then be measured and analyzed to determine when to perform a corrective action on the pressure vessel (12).

    摘要: Methods are provided for reducing interference from stray currents in buried pipelines/metal structures during MEIS testing or other current-sensing applications in the pipeline. Methods are also provided for measuring bulk complex electrical impedance between a buried pipe and the soil, thereby rendering an indication of the quality of the anti-corrosive coating. Methods are also provided for measuring the complex propagation constant of AC voltages propagating along an attenuative pipeline. This information is useful for assessing the general condition of the anti-corrosive coating involved, or to enhance MEIS inspection of the pipeline. Methods are also provided for enhancements to MEIS testing, including (a) canceling magnetometer offset effects associated with the Earth's magnetic field after the magnetometer is positioned for measurement, (b) implementing a separate sensing connection to the pipe so as to avoid interference from voltage loss in the pipe feed-line connection, (c) providing a power amplifier to excite the pipe with large-amplitude signals.

    摘要: A method of analyzing an effect of a first substance on the behavior of a second substance comprises exposing a test material to the first substance, performing a first surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy analysis of the test material while it is exposed to the first substance, exposing the test material to the first substance and to the second substance, and performing a second surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy analysis of the test material while it is exposed to the first substance and to the second substance. Results of the first and second analyses are compared to identify a change in the behavior of the first substance.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for simultaneously and continuously monitoring both the general and localized corrosion of a working metallic electrode is provided, wherein a low frequency, low amplitude periodic potential excitation is used to perturb the electrode around its free corrosion potential. The potential is controlled with respect to a reference electrode by means of a potentiostat, and an auxiliary electrode used to stimulate current flow. The current response of the working electrode is monitored and analyzed continuously for general and localized corrosion activity. Means are provided for validation of the integrity of the current response to the applied potential excitation. Simultaneous and continuous outputs for both general and localized corrosion activity are also provided.
