Discover the mechanical properties of metals used for construction materials and how corrosion influences the metal’s internal structure.
An understanding of how cracks form and propagate enables us to design safer and more reliable structures at a lower cost.
A problem that civil engineers currently face is corrosion of the steel reinforcements commonly found in aging infrastructure. Recent research examines how corrosion...
Corrosion in welded joints is caused by a combination of manufacturing and metallurgical factors, including deficient weldment design, poor welding practice and residual...
When combined, fatigue and corrosion have an exponentially worse effect on the reliability and lifespan on marine offshore structures and assets. Learn how to prevent or...
Accidents caused by corrosion alone are very few, but uniform corrosion can accelerate structural failure when combined with other damage mechanisms.
Stainless steel alloys owe their anti-corrosive properties to chromium, which grants a passivation effect to both ferrite and austenite steels when found in sufficient...
While tensile strength is by no means a sure-fire way to guarantee the reliability and safety of a structure due to many different issues, it is an important guideline...
Aluminum and aluminum alloys are in widespread use in many industrial applications, with its usage second only to that of steel.
Due to its durability and corrosion protection, metallization (thermal spraying) is an excellent protection method for structures with a long lifespan that are in...
