Electrochemistry, Corrosion And Data Analytics: A Pathway To Education And Better Asset Integrity

The significance of materials degradation rate and its ensuing repercussions has played a paramount role in human progress.

Sustainable Solutions To Reduce The Burden Of Fabric Maintenance

Fabric Maintenance (FM) refers to any type of asset structural maintenance that does not involve mechanical and electrical works, therefore it typically includes coatings, passive fire protection, welding, insulation, and other material and surface protection disciplines.

Sustainability Of Structures Through Advanced Coatings: Driving Towards Net Zero Carbon

To achieve sustainability, most governments and corporations have identified three parallel pathways and have each developed their environmental policy, social policy, and governance policy, also known as ESG.

Using Cathodic Protection Principles To Understand The Corrosion Of Galvanic Couples And Triples On Artillery Ammunition Dumped At Sea

A recent inquiry about galvanic corrosion of an estimated 35,000 tonnes of chemical and conventional warfare artillery ammunition dumped on a Belgian sandbank immediately after WWI revealed numerous analogies with various phenomena encountered in cathodic protection.

From Experimental And Computational Inhibitor Screening To Advanced Characterization Of Active Protective Coatings

The research on active coatings for corrosion protection has recently witnessed a surge, driven by the non-negotiable solutions required to meet enhanced industrial needs as well as strict health and safety regulations.

Article: Recent scientific research on corrosion mitigation

Corrosion is a natural process that can have significant consequences for the performance and lifespan of various materials.

How to Conduct a Corrosion-related Failure Analysis

Conducting a root cause analysis to identify the exact cause of a failure of a material due to corrosion, and to determine appropriate remedies, requires a detailed and thorough analysis. Failure analysis experts can be involved at any point of a product's life cycle including the design, manufacturing, service, and ultimately, when a part of the product fails due to corrosion. In this article, Les Boulton gives a brief outline of the corrosion failure analysis process.
