New deterministic and stochastic models for external pitting corrosion in underground pipelines can help improve integrity and reliability analyses. This concluding article applies these models to ...

Researchers at Tohoku University have developed a new technique to identify the initiation sites of a destructive process called pitting corrosion, which occurs when aluminum (Al) alloys are exposed ...

Laboratory experiments and observation of pit growth rates in six operating fields have led to development of a model to predict internal pitting corrosion of oil and gas pipelines. The inputs ...

Stainless steel is widely known for its impressive corrosion resistance, but it is not invincible. When exposed to environments containing chloride ions, such as seawater, the risk of corrosion ...

Titanium, like any other metal, is subject to corrosion in some environments. The types of corrosion that have been observed on titanium may be classified under the general headings: general corrosion ...

Temperature, humidity and industrial pollutants such as sulfur dioxide are among the major causes of aluminum alloy corrosion. Transportation equipment operating in high-humidity tropical climates is ...
