Join Craig C. Brown, Principal Engineer and corrosion subject matter expert at Element, for a live webinar to learn how to avoid corrosion in your stainless steel products to prevent product failure and costly repairs.
Why should I attend?
Craig will guide you through corrosion prevention in stainless steel food processing equipment. His presentation will include:
- Examples of typical stainless steels used in food processing equipment
- Definition and explanation of steel passivation
- Examples of corrosion damage due to loss of the passive film
- Case study to illustrate on-site metallurgical evaluation and laboratory SEM/EDS analysis of samples from the field
- Explanation of water mineral deposits and the potential for chloride contamination
- Explanation of pre-cleaning and cleaning of stainless steels per ASTM A380
- Explanation of acid pickling and passivation per ASTM A380 and A967
- Case study of SEM surface examination of pickled and passivated samples of a duplex stainless steel to illustrate what happens to the surface after different steps in the cleaning and passivating process
