A 1998 EPRI study, released in October of 2001, estimated the cost of corrosion in 1998 to steam generating facilities alone at $5.37 billion. The study, EPRI Report 1004662, also concluded that 22 ...

Cathodic corrosion protection is a widely used technique for protecting steel-based infrastructure from corrosion. ETH researchers have now clarified the detailed mechanisms involved, thereby ...

By responding to corrosion-related changes, particles in the coating release protective compounds that help repair damaged ...

Corrosion of carbon steel in acidic environments represents a major challenge in many industrial operations, particularly during pickling, acidizing, mining, and cleaning processes. In this study, ...

Corrosion of steel structures in electric transmission, distribution, and substation applications has been around for many years, but it’s getting more attention as electric utilities become more ...

The manufacturer confirms a quality defect in the lower forward fuselage section. The aircraft can keep flying and a remedy ...

Skyscrapers, bridges, ships, airplanes, cars—everything humans make or build sooner or later decays. The ravages of time are known as corrosion; nothing is safe from it. This makes the fight against ...

Tiny pH-sensitive containers helped scratched water-based coatings keep corrosion at bay during demanding saltwater tests.

Corrosion of buried steel can be managed through one or some combination of the following four approaches: (1) the service life of the steel can be increased with additional steel incorporated into ...

Corrosion protection services mitigate environmental or chemical attack through the application or installation of coatings, liners, cathodic protection, sacrificial anodes and corrosion inhibitors.

Hyperbolic cooling towers remove heat from power plant condensers using natural draft. Air rises through the center of the tower, and hot water is discharged as a spray in the interior. The ...
