Crevice corrosion is a localized form of corrosion that occurs in confined, shielded areas where solutions can stagnate, such as under gaskets, fasteners, or deposits. It results from differences in concentration of oxygen and chlorides between the crevice (anode) and outside of it (cathode), which sets up an electrochemical cell. Factors like crevice geometry and chemistry, material composition, and environmental conditions affect its occurrence. It is a significant issue for corrosion-resistant alloys in systems with pure water chemistry and can cause component failure while appearing as minimal overall material loss, making it difficult to detect. Methods to prevent it include eliminating crevices, using solid gaskets, employing higher-alloy materials,
(Pitting corrosion and crevice corrosion)Mustafa Hasan
This document discusses pitting corrosion and crevice corrosion in metals. It defines these types of localized corrosion and explains their mechanisms. Pitting corrosion occurs in localized holes in metals and is difficult to detect. Crevice corrosion occurs in cracks and crevices where conditions differ from the bulk solution, leading to acidification and accelerated corrosion. Both types of corrosion are influenced by parameters like chloride concentration, temperature, material properties, and coatings. The document provides diagrams illustrating the corrosion mechanisms and test methods for evaluating resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion.
1) The document investigates the mechanism of crevice corrosion on duplex stainless steel UNS S32101 through experimental testing.
2) Potentiodynamic polarization curves and potentiostatic polarization experiments showed delayed and immediate crevice corrosion can be initiated at different applied potentials in NaCl solution.
3) In situ observations and ex situ analysis revealed diversity in crevice corrosion morphology due to relocation of active dissolution areas from corrosion product effects.
The document summarizes corrosion of steel reinforcement in concrete. It defines corrosion and describes the types as crevice and pitting corrosion. Chlorides are identified as the main cause as they can penetrate the protective oxide layer on the steel. Carbonation is also discussed as it lowers the pH and exposes the steel. The consequences of corrosion are outlined as rust formation which causes cracking, spalling and structural damage. Methods to prevent corrosion include coatings on the steel, using fly ash, galvanizing, and monitoring chlorides. Repair methods involve removing loose concrete, cleaning steel, applying protective coatings, and cement or epoxy patching.
Pitting corrosion is an insidious localized form of corrosion causing much devastating
destruction to structural members such as stainless steel in chloride environment. This
paper gives a review of the mechanism processes of pitting, stages, factors facilitating
pitting corrosion, techniques of evaluating pitting corrosion and some research work on
pitting corrosion. The rudimentary knowledge of the mechanisms of pitting corrosion from
this work will be of assistance to the selection process, specification and the use of stainless
steels and other structural members.
Selective leaching, also called de-alloying or de-metalification, refers to the selective removal of one element from an alloy by corrosion processes. A common example is the dezincification of brass, where zinc is selectively removed leaving a porous copper structure. There are three steps in the mechanism of dezincification: (1) dissolution of the entire alloy, (2) replating of the more noble metal (copper), and (3) leaching away of the active metal (zinc). Dezincification can occur uniformly or in localized plugs and is caused by water containing sulfur, carbon dioxide, and oxygen. Prevention methods include using less susceptible alloys, adding inhibitors like tin
Rishabh Sharma's presentation discusses erosion corrosion, which is an increase in corrosion caused by a high relative velocity between a corrosive environment and a metal surface. It involves both chemical corrosion and mechanical wear as corroded metal is removed. The mechanisms are not fully understood but involve turbulent flow, suspended solids, and gas/liquid interactions. Erosion corrosion is more severe for softer metals and in equipment exposed to high velocities, turbulence, and mass transfer. Examples include pipes, valves, pumps and turbine blades. The presentation covers factors like pH, velocity, material choice, and surface films that influence erosion corrosion rates and provides prevention methods like design changes, environment modifications, material selection, and coatings.
Corrosion is one of the leading causes of premature spring failure. There are two main failure mechanisms: fatigue and embrittlement. Corrosion can significantly reduce a spring's fatigue life by facilitating crack initiation and propagation. The frequency of cyclic loading also affects corrosion fatigue behavior, with lower frequencies reducing fatigue strength. To prevent corrosion-related failures, material selection, fabrication processes, and protective coatings must be optimized based on the application environment. Proper diagnosis of corrosion mechanisms helps improve mitigation strategies.

Erosion corrosion is the accelerated deterioration of a metal due to the combined effects of corrosion and mechanical erosion from solid or liquid particles in fluid flow. It occurs when a corrosive fluid carrying solid particles flows rapidly across a metal surface. This damages protective surface films and removes metal, leading to deeper corrosion. Common examples include erosion corrosion in pipes, valves, pumps and heat exchangers exposed to fluids. Prevention methods include design modifications to reduce turbulence, filtering solids, using more erosion-resistant materials, coatings, cathodic protection, and altering the environment.
Stress corrosion cracking is the failure of a normally ductile metal caused by the combined effect of tensile stress and a corrosive environment. Three factors are required for stress corrosion cracking to occur: a susceptible material, a tensile stress (either applied or residual), and a corrosive environment. Stress corrosion cracking leads to the formation of cracks that propagate in the material over time and eventually result in sudden brittle fracture.
The document discusses various types of corrosion including uniform corrosion, pitting corrosion, crevice corrosion, galvanic corrosion, stress corrosion cracking, intergranular corrosion, dealloying, and erosion corrosion. It also examines factors that influence corrosion such as the nature of the metal, temperature, moisture, pH, and impurities in the environment. Finally, it reviews methods to control corrosion including material selection, coatings, cathodic protection, and design considerations.
Corrosion is the deterioration of metals due to chemical or electrochemical reactions with their environment. There are several types of corrosion including general corrosion, pitting corrosion, intergranular corrosion, stress corrosion, crevice corrosion, galvanic corrosion, erosion corrosion, cavitation corrosion, and fretting corrosion.

Cathodic protection systems are designed to protect metal structures from corrosion by creating a sacrificial anode. However, if the system fails or is not properly maintained, the protective current can find alternative paths that cause unintended corrosion of nearby structures. Three case studies are presented where failed cathodic protection systems resulted in corrosion of underground utilities, electrical shock hazards, and costly pipeline repairs. The document emphasizes the importance of proper installation, maintenance, testing and record-keeping of cathodic protection systems according to industry standards to prevent such issues.
Corrosion is the deterioration of materials through chemical reactions with the environment. It refers mainly to metals but can also affect other materials like plastics and concrete. Corrosion can have serious economic and safety consequences by reducing strength, causing equipment downtime, and loss of surface properties. It can lead to failures and expensive replacements even when only a small amount of metal is destroyed. Underground pipes and electronic components are especially vulnerable. The effects of corrosion are influenced by factors like water flow, exposure to sea water, contact between dissimilar metals, and lack of protective coatings.
The document discusses stress corrosion cracking (SCC), which is the failure of metal due to the combined effect of stress and chemical attack. SCC requires a susceptible metal, a specific corrosive environment, and an applied tensile stress. An example is given of the 1974 Flixborough explosion in the UK caused by SCC in mild steel exposed to hot nitrate solution under stress. SCC can initiate and propagate cracks without visible corrosion and cause sudden catastrophic failure. It commonly occurs at flaws, grain boundaries, or corrosion pits. The mechanisms of SCC include both anodic dissolution due to pre-existing flaws or grain boundary precipitates, as well as rupture of protective films by plastic strain.

This presentation discusses corrosion of steel reinforcement in reinforced concrete structures and its impact on service life. It covers the mechanisms of corrosion including carbonation-induced and chloride-induced corrosion. It also discusses various methods to control and prevent corrosion like using low water-cement ratios, supplementary cementitious materials, corrosion inhibitors, and protective coatings/catheathodic protection of the steel and coatings on the concrete. Maintaining proper concrete mix design, quality control, and reinforcement detailing can improve corrosion resistance and extend service life. Corrosion leads to cracking, loss of steel cross-section, bond degradation and reduced load capacity over time.
Corrosion Metallurgy presents various forms of corrosion including uniform corrosion, pitting corrosion, crevice corrosion, galvanic corrosion, selective leaching, erosion corrosion, stress corrosion cracking, and intergranular corrosion. Metallurgical factors that influence corrosion rates include material properties like composition and crystal structure, microstructure features such as phases and grain boundaries, the degree and type of mechanical deformation, heat treatments applied, and the formation of passive surface layers. Understanding how these metallurgical factors impact corrosion is important for corrosion prevention and mitigation.
This document discusses hydrogen embrittlement, which is the loss of ductility in a material caused by hydrogen absorption. It can occur in body-centered cubic and hexagonal close-packed metals when as little as 0.0001% hydrogen is absorbed. Hydrogen is introduced through processes like corrosion and welding. It causes increased strain rate sensitivity and susceptibility to delayed fracture. Several mechanisms are proposed to explain how hydrogen causes embrittlement, including hydride formation and reducing decohesion strength. Prevention techniques include reducing corrosion, using cleaner steels, baking to remove hydrogen, proper welding practices, and alloying to reduce hydrogen diffusion.
The document summarizes corrosion of steel in concrete. It discusses the common corrosion processes like pitting and crevice corrosion. The main causes of corrosion are chloride ions and carbonation, which can lower the alkalinity of the concrete and expose the steel. It also outlines prevention methods like using epoxy coatings, fly ash, and cathodic protection to protect the steel reinforcement and prevent corrosion.
This document discusses materials and corrosion, including:
- Metallic materials and welding techniques such as melting workpieces and adding filler material.
- Corrosion processes like rusting and methods to prevent it, including cathodic protection which protects metals from corrosion by making them the cathode.
- Surface treatment techniques to alter properties and polymer coatings for corrosion resistance.
- Inspection methods like radiography, ultrasound, and eddy current testing to evaluate materials and structures without damaging them.
Corrosion of steel reinforcement in concrete is an electrochemical process that results in rust formation and expansion, which can crack and delaminate the concrete over time. The main causes of corrosion are chlorides and carbonation. Chlorides from deicing salts or seawater can penetrate the concrete and destroy the protective oxide layer on the steel. Carbonation occurs when carbon dioxide penetrates the concrete and raises its acidity, also damaging the protective layer. Common methods to protect reinforcement include using epoxy or zinc coatings on the steel, adding corrosion inhibitors to the concrete mix, or installing galvanic or impressed current anode systems that divert corrosion to the more easily corroded anode material.
Corrosion inhibitors are chemical substances that minimize or prevent corrosion when added in small concentrations to an environment. They work by forming protective films on metal surfaces or reacting with corrosive components. Inhibitors can be inorganic, like chromates and nitrites, or organic compounds. They are applied through continuous injection, batch treatment, or squeeze treatment. The efficiency of an inhibitor depends on its concentration and ability to form protective barrier films on metals. Scavengers like hydrazine and sodium sulfite are also used to remove oxygen which promotes corrosion. Inhibitors find applications in various industries like petroleum, packaging, sour gas, and cooling systems.
This document discusses four main forms of corrosion: galvanic, crevice, pitting, and intergranular corrosion. It provides details on the mechanisms, examples, and factors that contribute to each type. Galvanic corrosion occurs when two dissimilar metals are in contact in an electrolyte. Crevice corrosion is localized corrosion in stagnant areas like joints or cracks. Pitting corrosion produces small pits on metal surfaces. Intergranular corrosion preferentially corrodes grain boundaries in metals. The document examines each type through definitions, diagrams, and real-world corrosion incidents.
Virtually all engineering materials will corrode or decay over time when exposed to their environment. The rate of decay depends on the material and conditions. Like the human body, materials require protection from extreme temperatures, pressures, and harmful gases through coatings, inhibitors, alloys, maintenance and inspection. Corrosion causes the disintegration of materials into constituent atoms via chemical reactions with the surroundings like oxygen, and reduces material strength, lifetime and properties. Data on corrosion rates helps determine if a material is suitable for an application, with over 50 mils per year generally unsuitable. Common types of corrosion include uniform, galvanic, pitting, stress, erosion and microbial. Protections methods aim to control reactions or provide permanent barriers

Pitting corrosion is a localized form of corrosion that leads to the formation of small cavities or holes in the material. It occurs when small areas become active (anodic) while the surrounding areas remain passive (cathodic). This creates galvanic cells that drive the corrosion process. Pitting corrosion initiates at defects on the material surface and then propagates in an autocatalytic manner. It is most common in alloys protected by a passive film when exposed to environments containing chlorides, oxygen, and stagnant conditions. Proper material selection, surface finishing, controlling environmental factors like pH and chloride levels, and using protective coatings or cathodic protection can help prevent pitting corrosion.

corrosion and protection of steel reinforced c...Emad Behdad
Corrosion of steel reinforcement in concrete is an electrochemical process that occurs when oxygen, water and chlorides penetrate the concrete and reach the steel. It results in rust formation which expands and cracks the concrete. Chlorides from deicing salts or seawater and carbonation are the primary causes of corrosion. Methods to prevent corrosion include using epoxy-coated rebar, thermally sprayed zinc or aluminum coatings, fly ash concrete, cathodic protection systems, and corrosion inhibitors. Titanium mesh anodes can provide cathodic protection without needing power sources.
Stainless steel is an alloy of iron, chromium, and other elements that is resistant to corrosion due to the formation of a passive chromium oxide layer on its surface. There are several types of stainless steel including austenitic, ferritic, martensitic, and duplex grades. Austenitic stainless steel like 304 is the most commonly used due to its corrosion resistance, toughness, and ductility. Stainless steel can still corrode through various mechanisms like pitting, crevice, galvanic, and stress corrosion cracking if the protective oxide layer is compromised. Alloying elements like chromium, nickel, molybdenum increase corrosion resistance by stabilizing the passive layer.

IRJET - Comparative Study of Chloride Absorption in Pre-Conditioned Concrte C...IRJET Journal
This document summarizes a research study that compares chloride absorption in pre-conditioned concrete cubes with different concrete mixtures. Seventy-two concrete cubes were prepared with six different mixtures that varied slump, water-cement ratio, and compressive strength. Cubes were pre-conditioned to be dry, fully saturated, or partially saturated. Cubes were then exposed to a 10% sodium chloride solution for 160 days. Chloride absorption was analyzed at various time intervals. Results showed that chloride absorption varied depending on pre-conditioning, mixture properties, and exposure duration. Absorption increased over time and was higher in dry pre-conditioned cubes compared to saturated cubes. Impregnated cubes generally had lower absorption than
Could a disruptive new technology determine the future of pipeline safety? The answer is yes, and no. Pipeline safety is a complex problem; there is no ‘one size fits all’ solution. However, a decade of innovative research pioneered a new surface preparation category (surface decontamination) to address a previously overlooked and sizeable portion of problems underlying corrosion-related coating failures of pipelines and refinery tanks: ineffective surface preparation. The technology known as CleanWirx is so unique it is the only one in its category.
This document summarizes the findings of a structural audit conducted on a residential building located in Andheri, Maharashtra. The building is a 5-story RCC structure that was inspected both internally and externally. Various defects were observed including cracks, spalling, corrosion of reinforcement, and leakage. Non-destructive tests such as ultrasonic pulse velocity tests, rebound hammer tests, half-cell potential tests, core cutting tests, and chemical tests were conducted. The results of these tests indicated poor concrete quality and a high probability of reinforcement corrosion. Based on the inspection and test results, the document recommends strengthening of weakened RCC members, repairing cracks and damaged plaster, waterproofing of the terrace, and carrying out

The concrete curbs and pylons on the roadway atop the Coolidge Dam were severely cracked and spalling in 1995 due to soluble salt contamination. They were rehabilitated through pressure washing with a salt remover solution, concrete repair and replacement, and application of a protective coating. In 2004, the rehabilitated areas were found to be in excellent condition with intact coatings and minimal cracking, demonstrating the long-term effectiveness of the rehabilitation methods used over a decade prior. The project was expected to last 20-25 years and inspections suggest it will continue performing well for several more decades.
This document describes a study being conducted by the Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center to evaluate coating systems for steel bridge structures and identify coatings that could provide 100 years of maintenance-free service life.

Performance of the coatings is being evaluated periodically using various tests and examinations. The goal is to identify high-performing coating systems that could meet the 100-year service life goal.
Wet abrasive blast cleaning with dust suppression water containing Chlor-Rid was used to prepare the interior surfaces of large tanks for painting, generating much less dust than dry abrasive blasting. The prepared surfaces were found to be free of chlorides and sulfates that could cause coating failure. A low-temperature epoxy coating was applied by a painting contractor and remained in excellent condition with no visible rust after one year of immersion service, demonstrating the success of this innovative painting technique for tanks.
The concrete curbs and pylons on the roadway atop the Coolidge Dam were severely cracked and spalling in 1995 due to soluble salt contamination. They were rehabilitated through pressure washing with a salt remover solution, concrete repair and replacement, and application of a protective coating. In 2004, an inspection found the rehabilitation efforts to be holding up well with intact coatings and minimal cracking, demonstrating the long-term effectiveness of the salt removal and remediation strategy. The concrete was expected to last 20-25 years and continues to perform after almost a decade.
Soluble salts are a major cause of coating failures, responsible for around 64% of cases. They are non-visible contaminants that can accelerate corrosion. Using Chlor-Rid soluble salt remover and testing kits helps ensure surfaces are properly cleaned, preventing premature coating failures and extending asset life at low cost. Engineering and project staff should update specifications and implement best practices to test for and remove soluble salts.

of corrosion mitigation
• What are the affected areas? Reasons and
result with visual observations and effects
• What is different in the procedures of
conventional vs. the new one (sandblasting vs
pressure water cleaning) and paints
• Why is procedure of cleaning better not for our
reason but also for environmental reasons

• Case studies for bridges and other
structures
• Conclusions
4/26/2015 4Crevice Corrosion & Pack Rust
5. What is Crevice Corrosion
and what is Pack Rust?
Why are they important?
4/26/2015 5Crevice Corrosion & Pack Rust
6. Crevice Corrosion Can be Stopped
with
Active High Ratio, Co-Polymerized,
Calcium Sulfonate Coating System
4/26/2015 6Crevice Corrosion & Pack Rust
7. Many old truss bridges
have not been painted
because engineers and owners know that
• Film forming paints do not last long over connections
with crevice corrosion and pack rust
• Painting does not stop loss of structural strength
because of developing pack rust
• Money is no longer available for just cosmetic
painting – to make the structure look good.
4/26/2015 7Crevice Corrosion & Pack Rust
8. Bridge Inspection criteria mainly evaluates
only section loss (of steel) from corrosion,
but
not the effects of crevice corrosion and
pack rust, even though it can cause:
• Bending beams and compression members
• Locking up components of moveable bridges
• Reduction in safety factors
• Reduction in seismic strength and ductility
4/26/2015 8Crevice Corrosion & Pack Rust
9. Could Crevice Corrosion & Pack Rust have
Contributed to this?
Probably, yes
4/26/2015 9Crevice Corrosion & Pack Rust
10. INSPECTION FOR PACK RUST
• The new PONTIS computerized bridge
evaluation program includes a “Smart Flag”
for Pack Rust
• The PONTIS program was developed by and
for the States (with FHWA funding) – and it is
now being used by many States and some toll
agencies.
• Now – structures can be ‘posted’ because of
the effects of serious pack rust.
4/26/2015 10Crevice Corrosion & Pack Rust
11. PONTIS – Condition State 1
• The connection is showing signs of rusting
between plates. Seams of the connection
exhibit rust staining
4/26/2015 11Crevice Corrosion & Pack Rust
12. PONTIS – Condition State 2
• Rusting between plates is beginning to
distress the connections. Minor swelling
exists.
4/26/2015 12Crevice Corrosion & Pack Rust
13. PONTIS – Condition State 3
• Rusting between plates has caused serious
distress to the connection. The plates may be
badly distorted, however all connectors
(rivets/bolts) are still functioning.
4/26/2015 13Crevice Corrosion & Pack Rust
14. PONTIS – Condition State 4
• Rusting between plates has caused serious
distress to the connection, which warrants
analysis of the bridge to ascertain the impact
on the bridge. Some rivets or other
connectors may have popped or are no longer
effective.
4/26/2015 14Crevice Corrosion & Pack Rust
15. Regarding the Analysis
• The analysis of such bridges (with distorted
members and weakened connections) should
include an assessment of seriously reduced
buckling strength, ductility, and seismic
resistance.
• Strengthening for loads and seismic ductility
may be required.
4/26/2015 15Crevice Corrosion & Pack Rust
17. Explanation of the crevice
corrosion & pack rust
phenomenon
The corrosive environment
inside of crevices is much
more severe and destructive
than surface corrosion
18. • Crevice corrosion is localized and is caused by
crevice geometries.
• Stagnant solutions set up highly corrosive
micro-environments inside such crevices.
• A metallic material tends to assume a more
anodic condition in the stagnant crevice
solution.
4/26/2015 18
Crevice Corrosion & Pack
Rust
Crevice corrosion and
Pack rust phenomena
19. • Crevice corrosion is usually the result of a
differential oxygen concentration cell, in which
the mouth of the crevice is richer in oxygen than
the metal interface within the crevice, which
becomes anodic and dissolves (corrodes).
• Subsequent pH shifts within the crevice can lead
to even more intensified attack. The metal ions
produced by the anodic corrosion reaction readily
hydrolyze – giving off protons (acid) and form
corrosion products4/26/2015 19
Crevice Corrosion & Pack
Rust
Crevice corrosion and
Pack rust phenomena
20. • The pH in a crevice can reach very acidic
values – sometimes equal to pure acids.
• The corrosion products seal and further
accelerate corrosion in the crevice
environment.
• The accumulation of positive charge in the
crevice becomes a strong attractor to negative
ions in the environment, such as chlorides,
sulfates and nitrates – that can be corrosive in
their own right.
4/26/2015 20
Crevice Corrosion & Pack
Rust
Crevice corrosion and
Pack rust phenomena
21. • The positively charged crevice – when sealed
by a coating which is porous – draws
moisture and contaminates through it.
• Thus, the above results will occur if the
crevice is sealed with a coating or caulking
without the use of an active penetrant to
neutralize the active corrosion producing
chemistry within the crevice.

a PA Turnpike bridge – chemically stopped
with Termarust
• 10 yrs ago this bridge was sandblasted & a 3-coat paint system was
applied’ that didn’t even slow down the crevice corrosion, and the
3” thick pack rust in the connections of the main girders
• In April 2006 they had a contractor do 5,000 psi pressure wash
cleaning and apply Termarust – JUST OVER THE CONNECTIONS
• This (zone painting) project carries a joint 5-yr warranty
• The crevice corrosion has been stopped

30. Cleaning is NOT done by sandblasting,
because
• It cannot remove the active crevice corrosion,
near the tip of the crevices
• Although it will remove some of the pack rust
- it can also pack the crevices with sand
4/26/2015 30Crevice Corrosion & Pack Rust
31. Cleaning IS DONE with a 5,000 psi
pressure washer, at a 4” standoff distance,
because
• It will blow out most of the (inert) pack rust
• It will flush the connection (and crevices) as clean
as possible
• It is much less expensive and more environmentally
‘friendly’ than sandblasting

45. The next steps are to:
1. Blow the connections dry – with dry
compressed air
2. Apply a liberal amount of the Termarust
high ratio calcium sulfonate Penetrant into
the crevices; i.e. connections
4/26/2015 45Crevice Corrosion & Pack Rust
46. The High Ratio, co-polymerized, Calcium
Sulfonate Penetrant
• Has a pH of 10.5 (a chemical base)
• Has a polar attraction to steel
• Penetrates into the active corrosion layer, at the
steel-pack rust interface; i.e. under the pack rust
• Neutralizes the acid
• Displaces moisture
• Absorbs oxygen
• Chemically stops active crevice corrosion
4/26/2015 46Crevice Corrosion & Pack Rust
50. The ‘finishing’ steps are to apply, wet-on-
wet:
1. A 10 mil DFT (18 mil WFT) caulk/stripe coat layer of
the high ratio calcium sulfonate Topcoat over the
Penetrant in/on the connection’, then
2. 5 mils DFT (9 mils WFT) of Topcoat, over areas of
bare steel or contaminant free rust, and
3. An additional 5 mils DFT (9 mils WFT) over all areas
to be painted

1. 5 mils DFT over tightly adhered existing
paint
2. 10 mils DFT over areas of bare steel or
contaminate free rust
3. 20 mils DFT over connections – that had
active crevice corrosion

53. CONCLUSIONS
• Crevice corrosion and pack rust can be a
serious structural problem.
• This problem can be CHEMICALLY stopped.
• This problem has been solved with an ACTIVE
high ratio, co-polymerized, calcium sulfonate
(HR CSA) coating system; that has a 19-year
field proven history; i.e. 19 years and still no
corrosion.

58. The Quebec Bridge Story
(Background)
• In original Quebec bridge project, the bid documents
required sandblasting & a 3-coat paint system (zinc,
epoxy, urethane)
• The lowest bid price was extrapolated for the whole
bridge – the estimated total cost was $250 Million (
without stopping the crevice corrosion)
• The same portion of the Quebec bridge was re-bid
specifying Termarust. The low bid was only $110 Million.
• Total estimated cost savings = $140 Million = 56% cost
savings.

59. The Quebec Bridge Story
(More Background)
• In at least 4 bridges work was done in the Winnipeg
area – by 5,000 psi pressure washing & Termarust
(formerly called Bridgecote)
• Not only was the crevice corrosion stopped – the
projects were covered by a joint Contractor-
Termarust 5-year warranty against coating system
failure
• With no exclusions for crevices & crevice corrosion

60. The Quebec Bridge Story
(Successful Conclusion)
• Used 4 bridges experience in the Winnipeg area with
5,000 psi pressure washing & Termarust (formerly
called Bridgecote) in rebidding process
• The same portion of the Quebec bridge was re-bid
specifying Termarust. The low bid was only $110
Million.
• Total estimated cost savings = $140 Million = 56%
cost savings
