Qingdao Research Institute for Marine Corrosion (QRIMC), a subsidiary of Central Iron and Steel Research Institute (CISRI), is founded in 1975. It is located in Qingdao High-Tech Park as one of the professional institutes engaged in marine corrosion and protection. QRIMC is the coordinator unit and central testing station of the state seawater corrosion testing network and the key station of atmospheric corrosion testing network. It is also the coordinator in China for the international standard organization metal corrosion commission ( ISO/TC156 ). QRIMC is engaged in the basic study and application of new technology of marine corrosion science.
QRIMC is well equipped with standard testing facilities for seawater, atmospheric exposure, electrochemical analysis, chemical analysis, etc. QRIMC has been undertaking the major project of China National Natural Science Foundation ˇ°Data accumulation & basic research of corrosion of materials in natural environments of Chinaˇ±since 1980. Database of sea water corrosion and atmospheric corrosion in China has been created by QRIMC. Hundreds papers and a book ˇ°The ocean corrosion and protection of metal materialsˇ± have been published, More than 10 state and province science and technology progress prizes have been awarded.
In the wave of the reform of the country, QRIMC is speeding up the conversion of scientific research results to practical applications.
QRIMC has studied and produced various kinds of galvanic anodes. Our high efficiency bracelet style aluminium galvanic anode has reached the international advanced level, obtaining the state patent (patent number 93 2 10383 9). The workshop of QRIMC has two 110KVA and 350Kg induction furnaces and one 60KVA crucible furnace. The annual production capacity is 2000T of aluminium galvanic anode, 4000T of zinc galvanic anode and 1000T of magnesium galvanic anode. The galvanic anode products of QRIMC are not merely used domestically for harbor, wharf, ships, ocean oil rigs, power plant, refinery, chemical factory and underground pipelines, etc., but also sold abroad to Singapore, Japan, and American etc.
Since 1987, QRIMC has been engaging on the corrosion and protection engineering for seaside power plants. Customers include: Tianjin Dagang Power Plant, Zhanjiang Power Plant, Shenzhen Mawan Bay And The Western Power Plant, and Zhangzhou Houshi Power Plant, etc. Large quantity of experience for the corrosion and protection of the seaside power plants has been accumulated and the relevant technology and designing has been improved. The anticorrosion and antifouling project of Tianjin Dagang Power Plant was appraised by the Ministry of Metallurgy in 1991, and a third prize of scientific and technological progress was awarded. QRIMC earned the qualification of second-grade construction enterprise for anticorrosion and heat preservation in 1990.
Apart from the projects of sea side power plants, QRIMC is also working with the corrosion protection engineering projects of offshore oil rigs, natural gas and gas pipelines, docks at harbor, storing tanks, etc.
QRIMC has developed into a enterprise integrating scientific research, production and engineering from a simple scientific research unit. Our technology and products are widely used in various fields.
