STEELS FOR THE PETROLEUM INDUSTRY: A COMPARISON OF BRITISH AND AMERICAN QUALITIES Part 1 Available to Purchase

The purpose of this article is to make a detailed comparison of the corrosion and heat resisting steels specified in Great Britain and in the United States, for use in the petroleum industry. The great advances that have been made in the design of steels from the beginning of this century are due to discoveries made by Brearley and Pasel of the beneficial effects of chromium upon the scaling and corrosion resistance of iron. This article is a condensed version of the paper presented at the 1957 International Petroleum Equipment Conference at Stuttgart.
