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 ...

Like a hidden enemy, pitting corrosion attacks metal surfaces, making it difficult to detect and control. This type of corrosion, primarily caused by prolonged contact with seawater in nature, is ...

New deterministic and stochastic models for external pitting corrosion in underground pipelines can help improve integrity and reliability analyses. This concluding article applies these models to ...

New deterministic and stochastic models can perdict the evolution of pitting corrosion depth and rate distributions from observed soil properties. Researchers performed a total of 259 excavations in 3 ...

What affects almost everything made of metal, from cars to boats to underground pipes and even the fillings in your teeth? Corrosion — a slow process of decay. At a global cost of trillions of dollars ...

In order to test some of the methods of archaeological bronze conservation, a procedure was perfected that reproduces the structure and composition of original patinas. Then the most common methods of ...

Scientists at the Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung (MPIE) have developed a machine learning model that enhances by 15% the predictive accuracy of corrosion behaviour and the potential optimal ...

A lot of shooters assume that stainless steel means indestructible—but it doesn’t. Stainless guns resist rust better than ...
