Corrosion becomes an inevitable problem when structures come into immediate contact with water and other chemicals, e.g., in water parks and swimming pools. It includes repeatedly accessed places such ...

Engineers at ETH Zurich have developed a versatile new material that should help in the ongoing battle against corrosion for buildings and vehicles. The polymer coating not only protects against ...

Fossil-fueled power plants are billion-pound investments that businesses (as well as whole nations themselves) around the world can’t afford to simply discard. Yet, the combinations of old plant, new ...

A team from Lanzhou University of Technology have developed a novel NiTi shape memory allow (SMA) with harmonic ...

Oil and gas infrastructure is frequently exposed to hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, chlorides, and elemental sulfur, all capable of corroding parts from the inside out. Ordinary carbon steel is ...

The cement used to construct concrete sewerage systems around the world does a mighty job of helping wash away our waste, but does have its shortcomings. Scientists in Australia have developed a new ...

This course will cover the main causes of corrosion in upstream oil and gas operations, as well as monitoring and mitigation methods. The various corrosion mechanisms give rise to a number of ...

The extreme conditions of nuclear reactors expose their structural alloys to high temperatures, stress, corrosion, and irradiation damage. Therefore, nuclear alloys require materials with high ...

Corrosion of fuel rod cladding and primary circuit component materials has for many years remained a serious concern for water cooled nuclear power reactors, especially those operated at high burnup ...
