Every year, about US$2.5 trillion is lost to corrosion globally. That’s more than 3 percent of the global GDP. But the concern over metal corrosion is not solely a financial issue. It’s one of safety ...

Many of the new combined cycle power plants that have sprouted up in the last two decades have open recirculating cooling systems, i.e., cooling towers, for turbine exhaust steam and auxiliary cooling ...

In previous Power Engineering articles, we examined the importance of trace iron monitoring to determine the extent of carbon steel corrosion in heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) condensate and ...

The protection of non-ferrous metals, particularly copper and its various alloys, remains a critical necessity in modern industrial maintenance and chemical formulation. As a specialized chemical ...

Corrosion in metals can lead to the structural fatigue or failure of bridges, pipelines, and plane fuselages. Anti-corrosion coatings help prevent this, but they become ineffective when pierced, ...

MIT scientists have found that aluminum oxide provides “healing”-like features when applied as a thin protective coating layer to other metals. Almost all metals, except gold, tend to oxidize when ...

Following on from news out of the University at Buffalo earlier this year that a graphene varnish could significantly slow the corrosion of steel, researchers from Monash and Rice Universities have ...

Gross profit equals sales minus costs related to the sale (in the case of a body shop, labor, parts, materials and sublet). If you divide that number by sales, it equals gross profit percent.

Lithium-metal battery anodes can store 10-fold more energy by weight than those in today’s best batteries, but they have been too unstable to be practical. Now, researchers have borrowed technology ...
