Corrosion is the result of a series of chemical, physical and (micro) biological processes leading to the deterioration of materials such as steel and stone. It is a world-wide problem with great ...

A photo taken by a scanning electron microscope shows a pit at the surface of an additively manufactured (3D-printed) stainless steel part. Credit: Thomas Voisin. Like a hidden enemy, pitting ...

Corrosion of steel is not complicated and is theoretically predictable at the electrochemical level if the steel and the environment in which the steel is placed are understood. However, at any scale ...

The exterior and interior surfaces of carbon steel pipes tend to corrode gradually, irrespective of their environment. It is necessary to regularly inspect this corrosion to assess and monitor pipe ...

My major problem as an operating supervisor when I worked for the former Amoco Oil Co. refinery in Texas City, Tex., was not the people, the process, or the plant’s economics; it was corrosion. Most ...

Concerns about corrosion, corrosion control, and testing are essential for industries producing items susceptible to corrosive elements like chemicals, oxygen, water, electrolytes, and UV light. This ...

New analysis shows pipelines using shorted casings are more susceptible to corrosion than pipelines using nonshorted casings. The preferential location of anomalies on carrier pipe inside casings is 2 ...
