In the last six years or so there has been a flurry of reports of AC corrosion on buried pipelines. Statistics are difficult to acquire, mainly because the link between AC and corrosion has not always ...

European field monitoring programs and subsequent laboratory investigations have shown that excessive cathodic protection (CP), combined with induced AC, enhances the risk of corrosion. Increasing the ...

Cathodic corrosion protection is a widely used technique for protecting steel-based infrastructure from corrosion. ETH researchers have now clarified the detailed mechanisms involved, thereby ...

Magnesium alloys, particularly Mg-Y-Nd-Zr systems such as WE43, have attracted significant interest for biodegradable orthopedic implants due to their biocompatibility, biodegradability, and ...

A process which involves deterioration or degradation of metal is referred to as corrosion. The most typical example of corrosion is the degradation of alloys or metals. Usually, corrosion phenomena ...

Erosion/corrosion is a form of material degradation caused by fluid flow that typically wears away the protective oxide film by fast-flowing water or wet steam (erosion), then continuously dissolves ...

Corrosion of steel structures in electric transmission, distribution, and substation applications has been around for many years, but it’s getting more attention as electric utilities become more ...

Maintaining reliable and efficient plant operations requires good control of corrosion and corrosion product transport in power plant water systems. The Electric Power Research Institute recommends ...

Corrosion is a primary cause for in-service degradation of steel structures in T&D lines, sometimes assisted by mechanical and microbiological actions, depending on the nature of the service ...
