Every year, about US$2.5 trillion is lost to corrosion globally. That’s more than 3 percent of the global GDP. But the concern over metal corrosion is not solely a financial issue. It’s one of safety ...

Corrosion is the result of a series of chemical, physical and (micro) biological processes leading to the deterioration of materials such as steel and stone. It is a world-wide problem with great ...

A different, but important, focus for climate change reduction relates to efforts to reduce steel corrosion (the electrochemical reaction that occurs when metals oxidize and begin to rust). This is ...

Corrosion is a historical and persistent challenge for aircraft, affecting both metal structures (as electrochemical deterioration or "rust") and wooden components, where it manifests as "dry rot" ...

Corrosion can be defined as the electrochemical reaction of a material with its environment which results in a degradation of the properties of the metal. It is a redox process. The problem of ...

In previous Power Engineering articles, we examined the importance of trace iron monitoring to determine the extent of carbon steel corrosion in heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) condensate and ...

Corrosion had eaten away nearly half of the metal wall of a pipeline that ruptured and spilled up to 101,000 gallons of crude oil along the Santa Barbara coast last month, federal regulators said ...

A federally funded study has found “a strong association” between imported wallboard made in China and metal corrosion in U.S. homes in which the drywall has been installed, the Consumer Product ...

Beneath the grass and upper layers of dirt on Jamestown Island, mysteries are often pulled from the ground piece by piece. The Jamestown Rediscovery Foundation, the organization that runs part of the ...
