Abstract
The authors propose research in formulating low-alloy steels whose surface is chemically convertible (by suitable pretreatments or free corrosion itself) so as to abate the rate of oxygen cathodic reduction, i. e. the current density required for cathodic protection; singling out high-strength steels whose resistance to corrosion-fatigue and hydrogen embrittlement is in proportion to the strength level and developing cheaper alternatives to high-molybdenum stainless alloys resistant to localised corrosion. Combining the outstanding resistance of titanium to saltwater corrosion and the low-cost good mechanical properties of steels is also suggested.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
