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 ...

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

New deterministic and stochastic models can perdict the evolution of pitting corrosion depth and rate distributions from observed soil properties. New deterministic and stochastic models can ...

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 ...

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 type of corrosion can penetrate the cross section of the material. Steel grades containing high amounts of chromium, nitrogen and molybdenum have high resistance to pitting corrosion. Pitting ...

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 ...

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 ...
