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 ...

Corrosion is one of the most enduring and expensive problems facing aviation, insidiously eroding airframe integrity.

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 ...

Corrosion has existed as long as aircraft. Although it was most likely not on the minds of Wilbur and Orville Wright during their famous 12-second flight, it nonetheless quickly became the archnemesis ...

This WWII Mauser K98 bayonet arrives as a corroded relic from the past and is carefully restored back to museum-quality condition. Rust and pitting are treated, original markings are conserved, and ...

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 ...
