Abstract
Abstract An unsteady state thin electrolyte film in the acidic environment of a natural gas pipeline was simulated using a self-assembled impingement jet system to study the corrosion behavior of 2205 duplex stainless steel (DSS) in gaseous environments with different relative humidity values. The electrochemical properties and surface morphologies of 2205 {DSS} samples were analyzed. Corrosion did not occur on the surface of 2205 {DSS} under wet conditions without gas impingement, whereas it did occur under the same conditions in the presence of gas flushing. The effect of gas-flow velocity was investigated with the help of computational fluid dynamics simulation. The results showed that the corrosion rate increased with accelerating flushing velocity in an environment with 80% relative humidity, particularly when the flow velocity was higher than 14 m/s. In addition, the sizes and number of pits increased remarkably at flow velocities higher than 14 m/s.
Microsoft is Ending Support for Windows 7
Microsoft will discontinue support for Windows 7 on January 14, 2020 which means Gamry will also be discontinuing support for Windows 7. If you are upgrading to Windows 10, like many companies and institutions, you need to be running Version 7 of our s oftware . Please note that only USB and Ethernet-based instruments can run in Version 7. Eligible users can download the latest version of our software through our online Client Portal .
If you haven't already registered your instrument, you can do so through the Client Portal .
Please email Technical Support if you have any questions regarding this transition. Please be sure to include your instrument model and serial number when contacting us.
