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 ...

Thousands of chemicals, petroleum products, and corrosive elements like salt water brine are transported every day, including by tanker truck. Carbon steel corrosion can require early tank replacement ...

Almost all alloys corrode or rust to an extent. Corrosion is a type of oxidation, and rusting is a component of corrosion. Rusting occurs when the alloy is in contact with air and humidity, resulting ...

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 ...

Molten salt environments, particularly those involving chloride-based compositions, are at the forefront of advancing thermal energy storage systems in concentrating solar power plants and other ...

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 ...

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 ...

Moves are currently under way to assess the need for a Surface Technology Association (STA) in South Africa to represent the surface-technology and coating industry. The end of last year saw the ...
