LAS VEGAS — Advancements in aluminum passivation chemistry by the U.S. Navy have resulted in the development of a hex-chrome free conversion coating that is designed to add significant corrosion ...

A 1998 EPRI study, released in October of 2001, estimated the cost of corrosion in 1998 to steam generating facilities alone at $5.37 billion. The study, EPRI Report 1004662, also concluded that 22 ...

Cathodic corrosion protection is widely used, but how it works exactly has been unclear and disputed by experts. ETH researchers propose a mechanism that resolves the apparent contradictions between ...

Corrosion within a heating system often determines its useful lifespan, as different metals are susceptible to corrosion in various ways. It's crucial to take proactive measures to protect central ...

As trucks begin their seasonal treks through icy and snow-covered roads, fleets renew the battle against the corrosion that perpetually gnaws at their equipment. But how much do you know about the ...

Corrosion is a chemical reaction to which even the strongest structures fall victim. Metals such as steel react with oxygen and water, going on to rust and decay. Cathodic protection plays a key role ...
