Corrosion is the enemy of industrial process equipment, from pharmaceuticals to food and beverage to energy production.

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 ...

Not anymore. Using a device called the Surface Forces Apparatus (SFA) developed by Israelachvili, he and his research team investigated the process of crevice and pitting corrosion and were able ...

Superaustenitic stainless steels are high-performance alloys engineered for extreme environments. With superior corrosion ...

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 ...

This is illustrated in Figure 2. Figure 2. Influence of temperature, concentration and pH on crevice and pitting corrosion of commercially pure titanium in sea water and sodium chloride brines. Effect ...

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 ...

Hydrazine: Effective but Hazardous Hydrazine (N 2 H 4) has long been used in steam boilers as an oxygen scavenger and corrosion inhibitor.Hydrazine reacts with dissolved oxygen in boiler water ...
