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 ...

Crevice and pitting corrosion isn't the kind of widespread ... This research into real-time, micro- and nanoscale mechanisms of corrosion provides valuable information that the scientists can ...

In addition to general corrosion, many condenser tubes are susceptible to galvanic-driven mechanisms such as pitting and crevice corrosion. These failure mechanisms usually have two stages ...

Pitting, the “corrosion” portion of the mechanism, can significantly increase the propagation rate through the material (Figure 2). Pitting corrosion is the most prevalent layup-initiated ...

Crevice and pitting corrosion isn’t the kind of widespread surface rusting you may see ... This research into real-time, micro- and nanoscale mechanisms of corrosion provides valuable information that ...

not only deepening scientific understanding of corrosion processes, but also paving the way for developing improved materials and manufacturing techniques. By unraveling the mechanisms behind the ...

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 ...

2-4 Pitting corrosion causes a higher percentage of failures than other corrosion mechanisms. Corrosion pitting caused roughly 70% of external corrosion-related hazardous liquid spills and gas ...

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