Formicary corrosion is a type of corrosion caused by organic acids such as formic acids and acetic acids. Formicary corrosion affects coils in a cooling system in nearly all branches of the industry. This corrosion attacks copper and copper alloy tube walls, and is associated with pinholes in the… View Full Term

Free Webinar: Flange Isolation and Remote Monitoring
The use of carbon fiber-reinforced composites is growing thanks to their high strength and light weight. This material poses new challenges in terms of mitigat
When it comes to corrosion engineering, seawater is one of the most important environments to discuss. Here we'll take a look at what causes pipeline corrosion
High nitrogen stainless steels are an increasingly suitable substitute for nickel. Nitrogen can improve corrosion resistance and the strength of stainless steels.
Nitriding, the process of introducing nitrogen into a metal surface, is an excellent method of controlling corrosion, as well as wear and fatigue, in metals.
Failure analysis allows corrosion engineers to determine why a component or piece of equipment failed and how to prevent the same type of failure in the future. Learn how failure analysis is conducted here.
Corrosion testing is one of a corrosion engineer's most important responsibilities. Here we look at the top field and laboratory tests used.
Applying a protective coating to metallic surfaces is the most effective method to mitigate corrosion damage. According to National Association of Corrosion En
