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 ...

Nail pitting may appear as depressions or dimples in your fingernails or toenails. It’s common in people with psoriatic arthritis. Oral and topical medications and lifestyle changes can help treat ...

New deterministic and stochastic models can perdict the evolution of pitting corrosion depth and rate distributions from observed soil properties. Researchers performed a total of 259 excavations in 3 ...

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

Be honest: how often do you thoroughly examine your fingernails and toenails? At your biweekly manicure appointment at your favorite nail salon or rarely (if at all)? If you've ever taken a look at ...
