Power plants continuously face corrosion caused by chloride and sulfate under high pressure water and steam conditions. Pitting, stress corrosion cracking and other forms of corrosion attack boiler ...

Structural steel is a common choice for many industries, including concrete, buildings, architecture, construction, and infrastructure. Corrosion can cause safety issues like instability and other ...

Dr. Mark Hernandez won a $117,669 grant from CU’s Technology Transfer Office (TTO) as part of the first annual Lab Venture Challenge (LVC). He was chosen, along with six other winners, from a pool of ...

Chloride and sulfate are highly corrosive ions when present in the water/steam cycle of a power plant. They can damage critical components such as turbines, boilers and steam generator tubes, which ...

If you’re in charge of a boiler, you likely know that boiler corrosion is the enemy. Exposure of iron in the system to water and oxygen creates corrosion. The metal reacts chemically and disintegrates ...

Aircraft operating in harsh, humid, and saltwater environments face a constant and severe threat from corrosion, often requiring maintenance practices that exceed standard guidelines. Proactive ...

When the city of Flint, Mich., switched its drinking water source in 2014 from Detroit to the nearby Flint River, its treatment plant did not sufficiently control the water’s corrosiveness. As a ...

Corrosion is a historical and persistent challenge for aircraft, affecting both metal structures (as electrochemical deterioration or "rust") and wooden components, where it manifests as "dry rot" ...

Metal components are shipped worldwide and represent a significant part of all import and export activities. However, the likelihood of product damage or harm to those handling the items means ...
