Corrosion is defined as a refined metal that is naturally converted to a more stable form such as its hydroxide or sulphide state. Metal corrodes when it reacts with another substance such as oxygen, hydrogen or bacteria. Corrosion can also happen when metals are placed under too much stress causing the material to crack. Corrosion leads to deterioration of the material. In this section you can find newsitems related to all types of corrosion such as stress corrosion cracking, intergranular corrosion, pitting, and corrosion fatigue.

New pipes by CENTRAVIS for chemical plants
In order to improve performance of the existing heat exchanger tubes, CENTRAVIS has developed a novel technology of double quenching of the material (02Ð¥22Ð?5Ð?Ð3, a Russian analogue to duplex 1.4462/UNS S31803), and in 2014 initiated five-months long corrosion testing, which has proven that the material has superior performance against all types of corrosion, as well as excellent mechanical properties.
Heat exchanger tubes of this duplex steel manufactured by CENTRAVIS allows customers to decrease both direct (regular replacement of the tubes) and indirect (repairs and idle times affecting productivity) costs due to significantly higher corrosion resistance of the material of up to 2.8 to 2.9 times.
