Since our founding Corrosion Service has and remains a leader in the corrosion control industry, supporting the various industries in North America and around the World ensuring asset integrity by providing responsible engineering services.
As part of our continued commitment, we would like to welcome you to our electronic Library as the place to view our various technical papers written and presented since 1950 supporting, educating and advancing the corrosion industry advancement.
On your left you can select the author of interest to view all papers presented or enter a search by topic. For each, an abstract is provided and a download link for your review. We would be please to assist if you have any questions and feel free to contact us.
The Corrosion Service Library
We converted a prime corner office into a Library at our Head Office and dedicated the room to Sorin Segall because of his commitment to Corrosion Service, the numerous papers presented, the engineering mentoring within Corrosion Service and to our industry. We would be pleased for you to come and view this comprehensive library that includes various text books, relevant publications, all NACE Materials Performance magazines presented since first publication, technical bulletins and various other related corrosion related print material.

Literature dating back to the early 1960’s has shown that AC current can cause corrosion of cathodically protected steel under laboratory conditions. Until recently however, there has been little evidence to suggest that AC corrosion of cathodically protected structures may be of practical concern. In […]
Austenitic chromium-nickel-molybdenum-iron alloys (904L 316L 317 L, etc.) used to construct Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) scrubbers and associated equipment in coal fired generating stations can experience localized corrosion. The problem may be alleviated by using more costly materials such as higher grades of stainless steel […]
Soil side corrosion of surface storage tanks can be a serious problem. In many industries the life of the tank is limited by external corrosion of the tank bottom. Cathodic protection (CP) is a cost effective technique used to eliminate soil side corrosion and hence […]
This article traces the history and development of the —0.850 V E (copper sulfate electrode) potential criterion over the last 60 years with respect to thermodynamic considerations and empirical testing in both the laboratory and field. The significance of reference electrode position and IR-drop voltages […]
This paper discusses some of the corrosion problems typically experienced by the underground portions of electrical transmission line towers, and examines cathodic protection as a method by which tower footing corrosion can be prevented. A case history of one power company’s cathodic protection experiences is […]
Anodic protection is a powerful technique used to mitigate corrosion of liquor tankage. The large currents required for protection of a typical vessel led to problems in the first generation of commercial systems. This paper describes the cause of the problems and the solutions developed […]
The corrosion susceptibility of steel storage tank systems is now well recognized by government regulatory agencies and most Provincial governments in Canada have introduced legislation making it mandatory that new tank installations incorporate corrosion control equipment and that existing tanks and piping be upgraded to […]
A 1985 study conducted by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation stated that the overall cost of repairs to damaged parking structures in Canada was estimated at 1.5 to 3.0 billion dollars. Little has done in the intervening years to reduce these costs on existing […]
