With the right approach, the effects of corrosion can be minimized and extend the life of your boiler.

"The other effect of oxygen is that it pushes the corrosion processes to occur faster in the unprotected portion of the steel.

Experienced boiler operators know that oxygen can cause localized, severe corrosion in steam boiler systems through a process called oxygen pitting. This occurs when dissolved oxygen in the water ...

Rust can be incredibly annoying if it appears on your new bicycle or car, but if you are a free-floating baby marine animal (larvae), it could be your dream home.

Oxygen corrosion is caused by a metal reacting with oxygen to form oxides. In the case of copper and aluminum, the resulting natural oxide layer protects the interior of the metal, so oxidation can ...

Scientists have found the mechanism by which titanium, prized for its high strength-to-weight ratio and natural resistance to corrosion, becomes brittle with just a few extra atoms of oxygen. The ...

Pitting corrosion is one of the most destructive corrosion forms, which will seriously affect the long-term safe service of small lead-cooled fast reactor.

A comprehensive guide to titanium corrosion in a range of environments such as non-oxidising, acidic and chlorinated environments. A range of corrosion mechanisms for titanium are also covered such as ...

Earth has a surprising new player in the climate game: oxygen. Even though oxygen is not a heat-trapping greenhouse gas, its concentration in our atmosphere can affect how much sunlight reaches ...
