Like a hidden enemy, pitting corrosion attacks metal surfaces, making it difficult to detect and control. This type of corrosion, primarily caused by prolonged contact with seawater in nature, is ...

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 ...

Restoring these old, rusty scissors is a step-by-step process that uses simple techniques and machines. The rust removal ...

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

An estimated one sixth of all steel production worldwide is used to replace corroded metal - much of it at cooling and process water piping systems. This article details the benefits and drawbacks of ...

“Corrosion has been a major problem for a very long time,” said UC Santa Barbara chemical engineering professor Jacob Israelachvili. Particularly in confined spaces — thin gaps between machine parts, ...

Pitted metal can cause many problems. This article details how repairs can be made, and when panel replacement may be a better option.

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 ...

Conclusion Trace metal monitoring continues to become better recognized as a critical tool for optimizing steam generator chemical treatment programs and controlling corrosion.

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.
