Crevice and pitting corrosion isn't the kind of widespread surface rusting you may see on the hulls of old ships exposed to the ocean. These are instead intense, localized attacks, ...

Effect of Crevice Size and Shape. With titanium, the shape and size of crevice appear to have a critical influence on corrosion behaviour. When the two surfaces are close together they are either not ...

“Corrosion has been a major problem for a very long time,” said UC Santa Barbara chemical engineering professor Jacob Israelachvili. Particularly in confined spaces — thin gaps between machine parts, ...

Crevice Corrosion. This is a localized type of attack that occurs only in tight crevices. The crevice may be the result of a structural feature such as a flange or gasket, or it may be caused by the ...

· The crevice corrosion shown destroyed the bonding layer between the two sections, permitting more water to enter the structure, and the corrosion to be agravated as shown in the detail photograph.

The prevalence of mechanically assisted crevice corrosion was higher than researchers expected when they studied patients who underwent non-cemented contemporary metal-on-polyethylene total hip ...

Crevice corrosion is a very interesting form because at some point it involves one of the two main mechanisms, electrochemical and chemical. Crevice corrosion is often located in places where the ...
