Microbially influenced corrosion quietly drives some of the costliest, least predictable failures in pipeline infrastructure. Beth McDaniel, J.D. explores how a single non-toxic coating can now suppre ...

Superhydrophobic materials offer a strategy for developing marine anti-corrosion materials due to their low solid-liquid contact area and low surface energy. However, existing superhydrophobic ...

Skyscrapers, bridges, ships, airplanes, cars—everything humans make or build sooner or later decays. The ravages of time are known as corrosion; nothing is safe from it. This makes the fight against ...

Concerns about corrosion, corrosion control, and testing are essential for industries producing items susceptible to corrosive elements like chemicals, oxygen, water, electrolytes, and UV light. This ...

Corrosion resistance is one of the main advantages of the application of stainless steels. However, in some cases, stainless steels suffer certain types of corrosion and therefore precautions should ...

What affects almost everything made of metal, from cars to boats to underground pipes and even the fillings in your teeth? Corrosion — a slow process of decay. At a global cost of trillions of dollars ...

Corrosion can have financial consequences. In the United States corrosion causes yearly losses of $47.9 billion in the utility industry, $29.7 billion in the transportation industry, $22.6 billion in ...

Iron is well-known for rusting, but this doesn't just happen on contact with oxygen and water. Some bacteria are also able to able to decompose iron anaerobically in a process referred to as ...
