To interrogate how the molten salt "digs" through metal, Yang and the team developed ... their findings not only uncover a new mechanism of corrosion morphology, but also point to the potential ...

Corrosion can have financial consequences. In the United States corrosion causes yearly losses of $47.9 billion in the utility industry, $29.7 billion in the transportation industry, $22.6 billion ...

Corrosion is the enemy of industrial process equipment, from pharmaceuticals to food and beverage to energy production.

Metals such as steel react with oxygen and water ... However, despite its widespread use in engineering practice, the underlying mechanisms of action of cathodic corrosion protection are still the ...

The effect of chlorides on metal corrosion has been known for a long time, and continues to be extensively studied in order ...

But as we enter those new frontiers of metalworking, it's crucial to understand the performance and properties of the resulting metals and the bonds between them. Corrosion—a process by which ...

Researchers concentrated on liquid metal tin, which reveals the inconvenient property of being highly reactive at high temperatures. They worked to clarify the corrosion mechanism of fusion ...

We are also working on measuring the mechanisms of carbon capture at liquid-solid interfaces ... to broaden our understanding on chemistry of macroscopic systems, such as metal corrosion, mineral ...

Known for their low density, high strength, high ductility, great corrosion resistance ... via different mechanisms, including dislocation slips, in which grains of metals slip over each other ...

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 ...
