A new lightweight online database for corrosion rate analysis of fluorochemical engineering processes

Corrosion is one of the major reasons destroying the reliability of equipment or systems in the fluorochemical engineering processes. A new lightweight database was developed for the specific requirements of the corrosion mechanism analysis for fluorochemical engineering processes. This paper takes Vue.js as the front-end framework, ElementUI as the component library, the back-end based on Python language, selects Flask as the back-end framework, MySQL as the database foundation, supplemented by various derivatives of Vue.js and Flask, to create a single-page, multi-functional front and back-end separate web application, which is specially used for the storage and utilization of hydrofluoric acid corrosion material performance data. The use of Vue.js and Flask makes the database lightweight and easy to use. The unified development, separate operation and logical decoupling design of the front and back-end makes the data storage more secure, the software runs more reliable, and the modular functional design makes the software more scalable. According to the characteristics of hydrofluoric acid corrosion materials and the specific process of hydrofluoric acid corrosion research, four functions were designed as: database management, material comparison, material selection and background management. It has powerful performance and safety design, which provides convenience for researchers to study hydrofluoric acid corrosion materials. Therefore, it fills in the gaps between priceless corrosion data and the delivery of integrated knowledge to end-users, thus helping unleash the value of the current data resources.
