Hydraulic Fluids ...lso protect system components against rust, oxidation and corrosion. In selecting a hydraulic fluid for an application, consideration must be given to the pressure, temperature and materials of the system An improperly selected hydraulic fluid can lead to inadequate system performance and premature failure of components, as well as the potential for fire or environmental impact in the event of  more...

Coatings - Corrosion Theory and Protection ...Corrosion is defined as the deterioration of a material, usually a metal, because of a reaction with its environment and which requires the presence of an anode, a cathode, an electrolyte, and an electrical current. The annual cost of corrosion and corrosion protection in the U.S. is estimated to be in the billions of dollars. Corrosion can be mitigated by five basic methods: coatings, cathodic  more...

Gear Lubrication ...gear lubricants reduce friction and wear, help to prevent corrosion, reduce operating noise, improve heat transfer and facilitate removal of abrasive wear particles from the contact areas of the gear tooth surfaces. In this course, the student will study the lubricants that are used to protect the various types of gears that are used in commercial applications. The course will cover Chapter 9,  more...

Introduction to Cathodic Protection of Underground Structures ...nes. It covers the two principal methods used to mitigate corrosion: the sacrificial anode and impressed current systems. It introduces you to the nine steps in designing a sacrificial anode system, the thirteen steps in designing an impressed current system, and the field testing requirements needed for both. It is intended for engineers and other construction professionals with a current or  more...

Hot-Dip Galvanizing for Corrosion Protection ...alvanizing (HDG) offers many advantages relative to other corrosion protection systems. HDG offers both barrier protection of the substrate and cathodic protection. No paint system can do that. Unlike paint, HDG is actually THICKER at edges and corners, where paint systems are most susceptible to failure. And HDG can protect nooks and crannies that paint just can? t get to. Additionally, HDG is  more...

Introduction to Cathodic Protection Design ...ion has remained the most effective method in controlling corrosion and is commonly used on many types of structures, such as pipelines, underground storage tanks, locks, and ship hulls. It reduces corrosion by minimizing the difference in potential between anode and cathode. This is achieved by applying a current to the structure to be protected from some outside source. This course  more...
