Severe local attack, such as pitting, (see figure 1) and crevice corrosion, can be a significant problem in stainless steels and other alloys that depend on self-healing, which can only occur when ...

What affects almost everything made of metal, from cars to boats to underground pipes and even the fillings in your teeth? Corrosion -- a slow process of decay. At a global cost of trillions of ...

New deterministic and stochastic models for external pitting corrosion in underground pipelines can help improve integrity and reliability analyses. This concluding article applies these models to ...

Laboratory experiments and observation of pit growth rates in six operating fields have led to development of a model to predict internal pitting corrosion of oil and gas pipelines. Laboratory ...

What affects almost everything made of metal, from cars to boats to underground pipes and even the fillings in your teeth? Corrosion — a slow process of decay. At a global cost of trillions of dollars ...

Corrosion affects both metal and wood aircraft; in wood, it manifests as dry rot caused by moisture, while in metal, it's an electrochemical deterioration (rust). Inspecting wood structures involves ...

PPG Industries’ protective and marine coatings (PMC) business announced that four individual coatings and primers and two combined coating-and-primer systems have been certified by NSF International ...
