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 ...

However, non-intact oxides such as iron oxide (rust) literally eat away the surface bit by bit. Oxide films on the surfaces of metals are therefore seen to play a significant part in the mechanism of ...

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 ...

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.

Further investigation reveals degradation mechanisms in rear-side metal contacts ... that can reportedly increase contact quality and corrosion resistance, while also reducing production costs.

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 ...

Was, a specialist in metal corrosion, is referring to commercial ... generally considered “the main life-limiting degradation mechanism” for commercial reactors, wreaked havoc at the Davis ...

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

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 ...
