What is the pitting potential give examples of factors which influence the value of the pitting potential?

Pitting potential is the potential where the pitting start and this is noticed when the current is suddenly increased that also mean below this value, now pitting corrosion will initiate Many parameters can effluence the pitting potential such as Temperature, halides ions, surface finishing of the alloy and also state of the electrolyte , is it flowing or stagnant.


Why pitting is dangerous?

In a boiler, pitting is dangerous because it weakens the boiler plate by reducing its thickness and strength. A pit that reduces the boiler plate thickness (at its weakest point) to 1/4 of the original thickness will fail at its Maximum Allowable Working Pressure. The weakest point is typically at the longitudinal joint (welded or riveted boilers) and pitting, grooving and cracking at this joint is closely monitored in all boilers.

Do you grade non-pitting edema?

Pitting edema is edema severe enough to leave a dent when pressed with a finger. Pitting edema is assessed by pushing gently with a finger and evaluating the response. Mild is a one plus, moderate is a two plus, deep is a three plus, and very deep is a four plus.

What causes pitting in pots and pan?

Pitting in pots and pans is primarily caused by the reaction between the cooking surface and certain acidic or salty foods, which can lead to localized corrosion. Additionally, using metal utensils or abrasive cleaning tools can scratch the surface, making it more susceptible to pitting. Overheating the cookware can also contribute to this damage, particularly in non-stick or aluminum materials. Proper care, such as avoiding harsh chemicals and using appropriate utensils, can help prevent pitting.
