Low-alloy steel is highly sensitive to corrosion. For this reason parts and structures made of this material are often protected by a zinc (Zn) coating. Zinc coating inhibits corrosion but has the ...

Scientists at Rice University have cooked up a new alloy with a unique and diverse set of attributes that could prove highly effective at protecting steel from corrosion. The novel coating not only ...

As useful as steel is, its main weakness may be its vulnerability to corrosion. Researchers in Korea have now developed a new alloy coating that boosts steel’s resistance to rust, by adding a simple ...

In humid air, chemistry gnaws at every metal, unless it happens to be gold or another precious metal. But oxygen in the air is only too happy to hook up with the less precious representatives of this ...

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 ...

One of the big drivers of the utility industry’s recovery has to be the estimated $15 billion engineered equipment market for flue gas desulfurization (FGD) systems. The Clean Air Interstate Rule ...

Every year, the United States spends nearly a trillion dollars fighting metallic corrosion, an electrochemical reaction that occurs when metals oxidize and begin to rust. Every year, the United States ...

Stainless handguns and rifles promise freedom from orange freckles and pitted slides, yet your own experience may tell you... The post “Stainless” doesn’t mean corrosion-proof — the sweat test that ...
