8 OCTOBER 2016 MATERIALS PERFORMANCE NACE INTERNATIONAL: VOL. 55, NO. 10 WHAT'S ONLINE @ materialsperformance.com Corrosion Topics Discussed this Month at materialsperformance.com • UAVs Capable of Inspecting Ship Tanks for Signs of Corrosion—By using UAV technol- ogy, survey times and staging costs associ- ated with visual condition checks of remote structural components in ship tanks can be significantly reduced. • Researchers Use Underground Radar to Detect Post-Storm Infrastructure Damage— New underground radar technology devel- oped at Louisiana Tech University is help- ing a local city spot infrastructure damage undetected since Hurricane Katrina. • Corrosion Behavior of UNS S21083 Duplex SS in China's Yardang Soil—Due to the high carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) and chloride content in natural gas, a high-performance duplex stainless steel was chosen for gas gather- ing and transmission piping in this area. • Innovative Polymeric Solution for Flanged Pipework Protection—Flanged pipework can be isolated from corrosive environ- ments by using a flexible, liquid-applied elastomeric material that can be peeled off for inspection and then resealed. • Cold-Bonding Polymeric Technique Helps Restore U.K. Trains—A U.K. group special- izing in train restoration identified poly- meric cold-bonding as a superior solution for fixing recurring problems with metal corrosion in diesel tanks. • University Team Develops Faster Route to Corrosion Detection in Metals—Research- ers at the University of Virginia are seeking to modify the traditional cyclic corrosion test chamber by adding ozone to the mix and greatly accelerating the process. • Coating Basics: Coating New Construction Seagoing Vessels—Surface preparation and coating application during new vessel construction compose a complex orches- tration that requires the coordination of every department in a shipyard.
