Severe local attack, such as pitting, (see figure 1) and crevice corrosion, can be a significant problem in stainless steels and other alloys that depend on self-healing, which can only occur when ...

Microradiographical and ultrasonic methods for the determination of pitting corrosion depth is discussed. Fatigue crack initiation and growth from artificial pits of different depths is studied ...

Stainless handguns and rifles promise freedom from orange freckles and pitted slides, yet your own experience may tell you...

Experienced boiler operators know that oxygen can cause localized, severe corrosion in steam boiler systems through a process called oxygen pitting. This occurs when dissolved oxygen in the water ...

Researchers at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory delved into the mysterious world of pitting corrosion in additively manufactured (3D-printed) stainless steel 316L in seawater and discovered ...

Laboratory experiments and observation of pit growth rates in six operating fields have led to development of a model to predict internal pitting corrosion of oil and gas pipelines. Laboratory ...

· A metal with a protective oxide coat, such as aluminum, may exhibit stress corrosion in a suitable ambient. The diagram shows the sequence of steps associated with the corrosion process. · ...

Researchers derived five corrosion rate distributions from different pit growth models and used them to perform reliability analyses of underground pipelines from synthetic and real-life data.
