Steel is popular, durable and versatile. Here are 7 things to understand about the corrosion resistance of steel.
By: Krystal Nanan | Civil Engineer
Stresses (residual stress or applied stress) acting on a material can play a major role in a unique type of corrosion known as stress corrosion cracking (SCC).
The purpose of cathodic protection (CP) is to reduce the potential difference between anodes and cathodes to a small value. Here's how it works to prevent corrosion.
Corrosion, by definition, is a degradation of material due to its chemical or electrochemical reaction with its environment. While this is a problem for metals in general, particular care should be taken when dealing with...
