What you will learn
• Understand the major corrosion mechanisms affecting steels and alloys in pulping, bleaching, chemical-recovery, papermaking, and biomass-processing environments, including the influence of temperature, chemistry, and process conditions.
• Explain the performance differences among carbon steels, stainless steels, and nickel-containing alloys and how composition, fabrication, and surface conditions impact corrosion resistance across various unit operations.
• Differentiate the material requirements for key process areas, such as wood preparation, kraft pulping, mechanical pulping, oxygen-delignification, bleaching stages, evaporators, recovery boilers, digesters, and biomass-energy systems.
• Evaluate the effects of process chemicals, liquor compositions, oxidizing and reducing environments, chloride levels, and pH on alloy selection and expected service performance.
• Identify appropriate alloys and fabrication practices to mitigate corrosion, stress-corrosion cracking, pitting, and crevice attack in equipment such as piping, vessels, heat exchangers, washers, digesters, tanks, and recovery systems.
• Interpret corrosion data, comparative alloy tables, and application-specific recommendations to make informed, cost-effective materials-selection decisions for pulp, paper, and biomass facilities.
