Pitting results from the local breakdown of the barrier film, which allows an anodic reaction to begin at point sites on the exposed metal. The cause of the point site may be due to local mechanical ...

They focused on the initiation of corrosion — the point at which the metal surface begins to dissolve. They observed that the degradation of the material did not occur in a homogenous fashion. Rather, ...

Part 1 also described a continuous-time, nonhomogenous linear growth Markov process developed for stochastically modeling external pitting corrosion in buried pipelines, showing this type of ...

The first part of a two article series (OGJ, Nov. 26, 2007, p. 68) examined the pitting corrosion mechanism as well as problems in predicting internal pitting corrosion of oil and gas pipelines ...

“There is pitting corrosion, where localised corrosion creates little cavities in the surface of the material.” She notes that this typically occurs when aluminium alloys are exposed to chloride.
