Powercrete is an epoxy based polymer concrete. Its main purpose is to protect the fusion bonded epoxy coating on steel pipe under severe handling conditions. The highly abrasion resistant Powercrete  provides a smooth surface that allows the pipeline to be pulled under the crossing in a "slick bore" operation with much less drag resistance than conventional concrete. It can also be used as a rockshield.

Product Description
3M™ Scotchkote 323/323i Liquid Epoxy Coatings are two-part systems designed to protect steel pipe and other metal surfaces from the harsh affects of corrosion.

An innovative surface preparation system that removes corrosion and generates an anchor file in a single step.

ELECTRICAL GROUNDING

Proper grounding techniques can reduce the hazard of electrical surges that result in damage to equipment and/or personal injury.

DACCO SCI, INC., has teamed with Inhibitrol to test corrosion inhibitors from extracts of tobacco plants and other phytochemical materials.

Microscopy can give useful information regarding the extent or mode of corrosion degradation or failure. The range of corrosion testing techniques is therefore supported by electron, optical and atomic force microscopy facilities.

A cathodic protection system is a corrosion cell in which the structure to be protected is the cathode. Sacrificial or galvanic systems are corrosion cells of the differential metal type.

Impressed current systems use an outside source of power to drive the current from the anodes to the cathode. This source can be solar power, batteries, DC generators or 60 Hz alternating current (AC) converted to DC via a rectifier or other device. The most common impressed current systems consist of an anode cluster (also called a "ground bed"), which can be in one location or distributed around the protected structure, powered by rectified AC power.

Microbially influenced corrosion (MIC) can be defined as accelerated corrosion of susceptible metals as a result of the direct, indirect, or combined actions of microbial metabolism.

High-temperature oxidation and corrosion play an important role in the selection of materials for geological and aerospace applications.
