Pipeline corrosion is a major challenge facing many oil and gas industries today because of
the enormous downtime associated with corrosion related failures. Fatigue stress initiation in …

Different corrosion rate (CR) distributions have been derived from various corrosion growth
models and used to perform reliability analyses of underground pipelines. The CR …

Pipelines are the most profitable mode of transportation for hydrocarbons. Typically, oil and
gas pipelines are made of low carbon steel, whose mechanical properties change due to …

A continuous time non-homogenous linear growth pure birth Markov model was used to
predict the future pit depth distribution of internally corroded oil and gas pipelines. A …

In this research paper, the failure pressure predictions were obtained for a pipeline section
by analyzing a combined corrosion defects, which joins together a general corrosion and a …

Extreme value analysis (EVA) is occasionally used to predict corrosion progress. This paper
adopts EVA to predict the depth of extreme pits to prioritize inspection and maintenance. It …

Boride layers are typically used to combat the wear and corrosion of metals. For this reason,
to improve our knowledge of the boriding process, this research studied the effect of the size …

To estimate the internal pit depth growth and reliability of aged oil and gas pipelines, a
Monte Carlo simulation approach was adopted. The average maximum pit depths of …

In this study, failure pressure prediction was conducted in a pipeline with localized corrosion
in base metal (BM), heat-affected zone (HAZ), and welding bead (WB) by finite element (FE) …

Short tool service life is always a major concern when milling hard materials, such as Ni-
based superalloy. In the current research of tool life optimization in multi-axis machining of …
