Induction hardening is a heat-treating process used to increase the hardness or wear resistance of a material. Induction hardening heats a material using a form of induction heating to a specific temperature. Once the temperature is reached, it is rapidly cooled by a quenching media. This rapid… View Full Term

The 5 most common types of metal coatings that can effectively prolong the service life of many metal assets by preventing corrosion...
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).
An understanding of how cracks form and propagate enables us to design safer and more reliable structures at a lower cost.

Conventional pressure testing poses many risks to the pipeline, the environment and nearby workers. Ultrasonic inline inspection (ILI), on the other hand, is nondestructive, allowing pipe integrity to be assessed safely and economically.
Quality assurance specialists are usually employed or subcontracted by an asset owner. In the paint and coatings industry, they verify that the work performed by the quality control team meets the documented minimum job specifications.
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.
Metallizing is a general term used to describe the process of applying a metallic coating on the surface of an object. It involves several processes that cause the coating metal to form a mechanical bond with the substrate.
Quality Control: Protect Your Pipelines With Active Corrosion Protection, Passive Corrosion Protection, Sacrificial Anodes, and Corrosion Inhibitors to...
The corrosion industry is beginning to emphasize the use of cathodic protection (CP) coupons as an assessment technique to determine the CP level of a structure.
