X-ray diffraction (XRD) is a commonly used technique for corrosion product analysis. It is the only technique for this type of analysis and it also generates data regarding solid materials' phase composition. For instance, a combination of goethite, ferrihydrite and magnetite can be quantified… View Full Term

Fracture is simply the separation of a material into several pieces due to an applied stress. The type of fracture (ductile or brittle) that a material will undergo depends mainly on its ability to deform before it cracks.
A look at digital radiography for corrosion inspection of pipelines, including how it works, where it's used and the advantages compared to...
Calculating and measuring tensile stresses are vital in predicting the behavior of various types of materials. Designers and engineers frequently use tensile parameters to select materials that meet specific the strength and performance parameters.
Understanding the 3 types of tensile strengths help determine how components will perform when...
Ultrasonic technology uses sound waves to detect cracks and other pipeline defects. The early identification of these cracks is essential to preventing leaks, which can lead to product loss and in the oil and gas industry, and potential explosions.
