  • Corrosion Behaviour of Alpha Phase Aluminium Bronze Alloy in Selected Environments
    Leonardo Electronic Journal of Practices and Technologies Issue 24, January-June 2014 ISSN 1583-1078 p. 113-125 Corrosion Behaviour of Alpha Phase Aluminium Bronze Alloy in Selected Environments Oluwayomi BALOGUN1, 2*, Joseph BORODE2, Kenneth ALANEME2, and Michael BODUNRIN2 1Prototype Engineering Development Institute, (PEDI) Ilesa, Osun State. Nigeria. 2Metallurgical and Materials Engineering Department, Federal University of Technology Akure. Nigeria. Emails: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] ; [email protected]. * Corresponding author: Phone: +234-8036362432 Abstract This research investigated the corrosion behaviour of aluminium (8 wt %) bronze alloys produced via sand casting in acidic, alkaline, and marine environments. The aluminium bronze was produced from aluminium (6063) alloy and copper scraps by sand casting according to European standard specification (UNS. C61400- CuAl8), after which they were cut into smaller sizes and immersed in the selected corrosive media for corrosion test investigation. H2SO4, NaCl, NaOH, and HCl of 0.1 M, 0.2 M, 0.3 M, 0.4 M, and 0.5 M were setup for 45 days for the corrosion study. Selective phase attack was observed in the alloy, although it was much more pronounced in HCl, to the point where entire grains fell out while it exhibit minimal corrosion resistance in marine and alkaline media respectively. Intense chloride attack on the protective film formed on the surface of the aluminium bronze was observed to be responsible for the greater corrosion susceptibility of the alloy in HCl environments. Comparative studies of aluminium bronze in selected environments indicated that no corrosion was observed and the alloys have a greater tendency to be applicable in marine, alkaline and sulphuric acid environments.

  • Thread Galling: What Is It & How to Prevent It?
    Thread Galling: What Is It & How to Prevent It? Thread galling is a The Culprits: Metal Fasteners common yet a This generally happens to metal fasteners seldom understood when their protective oxide layer is worn fastener problem away during the installation process due seen by engineers to the increased pressure and heat and fabricators. It between the contacting thread surfaces. occurs when With the absence of the oxide coating, pressure and friction cause bolt the raw metal threads contact each other threads to seize to the threads of a nut directly with no barrier, causing the the or tapped hole. The fasteners are not nut and bolt to “fuse” together. Prior to just overly tight but “cold/contact” use, you inspect all fasteners, yet after welded together. installation they still fail. So how do you prevent this? Galling Prevention Install Slowly and Correctly Slowing down the installation RPM speed can often reduce and even completely prevent galling issues. As the installation speed increases, so does friction – resulting in the heat production that can cause galling. Also, over-tightening can also increase friction and galling. Use Lubrication and Coatings When Possible Lubricating the internal and/or external threads reduces friction which is a primary element of galling. Always take into consideration the end use of the fasteners before selecting a lubricant. Applications where food or laboratory purity is a concern may make some lubricants unacceptable. In addition, the fastener installer must take into consideration changes in the torque-tension relationship due to the use of lubricants as over-tightening can also result in galling.

  • Evaluation of Anti-Corrosion and Anti-Galling Performance
    EVALUATION OF ANTI-CORROSION AND ANTI-GALLING PERFORMANCE OF A NOVEL GREASE COMPOUND A Thesis by JOHN OLUMIDE REIS Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE Chair of Committee, Hong Liang Committee Members, Chii-Der Suh Sevan Goenezan Head of Department, Andreas A. Polycarpou December 2017 Major Subject: Mechanical Engineering Copyright 2017 John Olumide Reis ABSTRACT In this research, the effectiveness of CeO2, Y2O3 and Al2O3 as anti-corrosion and anti-wear additives in commercial grease was investigated. An experimental approach was used to carry on the research. The weight loss of steel coupons protected with a layer of thin grease, with and without the anti-corrosion additives in a corrosive environment was determined. The Friction factor of the grease compound was also evaluated. The accelerated corrosion tests were performed in a salt spray chamber for an exposure time of 2 weeks (336 hours). The corrosive medium was 5 % wt. of Brine. By varying the weight compositions of the additives (1% wt. and 3% wt.), and comparing the corrosion rates with that of base grease, the effectiveness of various grease additives was evaluated. The result showed that corrosive losses of the test samples can be effectively reduced by adding relatively small amounts of CeO2, Y2O3 and Al2O3 to the base grease. Corroded surfaces were examined using the Optical microscope to clarify the corrosion mechanism. The friction test was carried out using a galling tester. The standard test procedure as specified in API RP 7A1 was followed.

  • Surface Finishing Treatments
    Tel.: 1-800-479-0056 Fax: 1-888-411-2841 www.aspenfasteners.com [email protected] Surface finishing treatments Surface finishing treatments can have a significant impact on the properties of fasteners, making them more suitable for specific applications. Most typically finishes are applied to improve durability (wear resistance and corrosion resistance) and/or for decorative purposes. Fasteners that are to be used in conditions where they are exposed to high physical stress levels, corrosive elements, or extreme temperatures may benefit greatly from plating/coating. Anodizing An electrolytic passivation process that forms a thin, transparent oxide layer that protects the metal substrate. Anodizing modifies the surface of the metal to produce a decorative, durable, corrosion and wear resistant finish. Unlike plating or painting, the oxide finish becomes integrated with the metallic substrate, so it cannot chip or peel and minimally alters the dimensional aspects of the part. The physical properties of this oxide layer also provides excellent adhesion for secondary processes like colouring and sealing. The term "anodizing" reflects the process whereby the metal part to be finished forms the anode of an electric circuit immersed in an electrolyte bath. The current in the circuit causes ionic oxygen to be released from the electrolyte and combine with the metallic substrate of the finished part. Black Oxide Black Oxide is a low cost conversion coating where oxidizing salts are used to react with the iron in steel alloys to form magnetite (Fe304), the black oxide of iron. The result is an attractive and durable matte black finish. While steel is the usual substrate, other materials including stainless steel, alloy, copper, brass, bronze, die cast zinc, and cast iron react equally well.
