The study of hot corrosion in welded superheater components sits at the intersection of metallurgy, electrochemistry, and ...

Researchers are using new, experimental techniques like Shear Assisted Processing and Extrusion (ShAPE) and friction stir welding to produce metal components that are lighter, stronger, and more ...

Many of the new combined cycle power plants that have sprouted up in the last two decades have open recirculating cooling systems, i.e., cooling towers, for turbine exhaust steam and auxiliary cooling ...

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) and the Qatar Science and Technology Research Center (QSRTC) have developed a new automated method to assess corrosion in industrial equipment ...

Metals are ubiquitous in a wide array of structural applications and corrosion is of paramount concern in this regard. Corrosion can occur when metals are exposed to the environment along with ...

Corrosion in metals can lead to the structural fatigue or failure of bridges, pipelines, and plane fuselages. Anti-corrosion coatings help prevent this, but they become ineffective when pierced, ...

A University of Waterloo team combined electrochemical experiments with neural networks and genetic algorithms to predict ...

A process which involves deterioration or degradation of metal is referred to as corrosion. The most typical example of corrosion is the degradation of alloys or metals. Usually, corrosion phenomena ...

Every year, about US$2.5 trillion is lost to corrosion globally. That’s more than 3 percent of the global GDP. But the concern over metal corrosion is not solely a financial issue. It’s one of safety ...

Almost all metals, except gold, tend to oxidize when exposed to air and water. This interaction is what produces rust on iron, tarnish on silver, and verdigris on copper or brass—all of which weaken ...
