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 ...

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) and the Qatar Science and Technology Research Center (QSRTC) have developed a new automated method to assess corrosion in industrial equipment ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

Many of the new combined cycle power plants that have sprouted up in the last two decades have open recirculating cooling systems, i.e., cooling towers, for turbine exhaust steam and auxiliary cooling ...

Researchers have figured out a way to identify fingerprints left on metals even after they have been wiped clean. By applying a fine conducting powder to a gun or bullet casing, the fingerprint ...

Every year, the United States spends nearly a trillion dollars fighting metallic corrosion, an electrochemical reaction that occurs when metals oxidize and begin to rust. Every year, the United States ...
