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 ...

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 ...

“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, ...

New Substrate Gives Way to Old Corrosion Challenges Prior to lining, Alloy 2205 requires a clean surface with a sharp profile and blast profile (depth). For most high-build linings or coatings, a ...
