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, ...

“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, ...

· 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 ...

However, crevice corrosion on titanium may not occur below 158 °F (70 °C). The existence of high concentrations of cations other than sodium, like Mg 2+ or Ca 2+, can also modify this relationship and ...

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 ...

Crevice Corrosion. Crevice corrosion is caused by the same galvanic driving force as pitting corrosion. However, because the crevice allows higher contaminant concentration than a pit ...
