How to know the internal and external corrosion of stainless steel seamless elbows separately?
The surface and internal corrosion of stainless steel seamless elbows can be detected through various methods.
Surface corrosion can be detected through visual inspection, preliminary screening, and chemical corrosion testing. Firstly, observe whether there are rust spots, pits, or color differences on the surface of stainless steel seamless elbows, with a focus on inspecting areas that are prone to corrosion such as welds and bends. Surface corrosion is usually accompanied by damage to the passivation film or the attachment of pollutants. Can be used with a 5-20x magnifying glass or industrial endoscope to identify micro cracks or pitting phenomena, suitable for the early stages of surface corrosion; Chemical corrosion test methods include salt spray test and passive film test. The salt spray test is specifically to place the elbow in a 5% sodium chloride solution spray environment (simulating the marine climate), observe the corrosion area 48 hours later, calculate the corrosion rate, and evaluate the corrosion resistance. Passivation film detection is performed by analyzing the integrity of the surface chromium oxide layer using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), or by measuring the polarization resistance using an electrochemical workstation to determine the passivation effect.
Internal corrosion can be detected through non-destructive testing and pipeline medium monitoring. Non destructive testing is divided into ultrasonic testing, radiographic testing, and eddy current testing. Ultrasonic testing uses high-frequency sound waves to penetrate elbows and identify internal corrosion thickness and crack locations through reflected wave signals, with an accuracy of up to 0.1mm. Radiographic testing generates internal structural images to detect defects such as slag inclusions and pores, and is suitable for high-precision corrosion testing of chemical pipelines; Eddy current testing detects surface and near surface corrosion through electromagnetic induction, and is highly applicable to non-magnetic stainless steel elbows.
Pipeline medium monitoring: Regularly extract fluid from the pipeline, detect parameters such as chloride ion concentration and pH value, and predict corrosion risks based on changes in medium composition.
Through the linkage application of multidimensional detection technology, the corrosion status of stainless steel seamless elbows can be accurately evaluated, and targeted maintenance plans can be formulated.
