Smart protective coatings with self‐sensing and active corrosion protection dual functionality from pH-sensitive calcium carbonate microcontainers

Herein, we report the development of a self-sensing and active corrosion protection coating which incorporates pH-sensitive multilayer chitosan/alginate-covered CaCO₃ microcontainers containing 1,10-phenanthrolin-5-amine (APhen). The microcontainers can respond to pH variation to release APhen which serves not only as a corrosion...

A risk-based approach to inspection planning for pipelines considering the coupling effect of corrosion and dents

RBI, referring to a risk-based approach to inspection planning, is an established pipeline integrity management method. Both corrosion and dents are the primary threats to pipeline integrity. However, they are often treated separately in RBI without considering their interactions. This coupling may lead to a synergic effect on integrity...

Condition assessment of underground corroded pipelines subject to hydrogen damage and combined internal pressure and axial compression

In this work, a 3D finite element (FE) based model was developed to assess the condition of an underground hydrogen transmission pipeline containing a corrosion defect under combined internal pressure and soil movement-induced axial compression. The use of mechanical properties of X100 pipeline steel under different hydrogen charging time...
