Corrosion is a well-known threat to the longevity and safety of vehicles, and aircraft are no exception. Aircraft maintenance ...

Metal surfaces of boats and offshore rigs are coated with corrosion-inhibiting compounds to protect them in the high-salt environment of the sea. Commercial inhibitors are organic compounds based ...

The scientists were particularly concerned with tracking chromium, a frequent constituent of the metal alloys ... the molten salt, some of its chemical forms can accelerate corrosion processes ...

Molten salt corroded a metal barrier, appearing disconnected on a slice view of the damage (right). Researchers imaged the corrosion in 3D and reconstructed the path the salt took through metal ...

Chemists report that radiation-induced chemical reactions may help mitigate the corrosion of metals in a new type of nuclear reactor cooled by molten salts. High temperatures and ionizing ...

specifically focusing on how road salt can corrode metal and concrete. "We're basically looking at the corrosion behaviour of salt against metals, the environmental impact the salt can cause ...

When the gritters are spreading salt or other chemicals, they are also spreading the cancer of corrosion ... damage to the underbellies and other metal parts of big rigs. Studies put the nation ...

While paint and wax provide some protection, they can be weakened, exposing the metal underneath to salt-induced corrosion. Rust often begins on bare metal fasteners and suspension components ...
