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 ...

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 ...

Laboratory experiments and observation of pit growth rates in six operating fields have yielded a model to predict internal pitting corrosion of oil and gas pipelines. Nov. 26, 2007 15 min read ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
