Refractory materials, essential for high-temperature industrial applications, rely on robust chemical compositions to withstand extreme thermal and corrosive environments. Chromium, particularly in ...

Corrosion has long been seen as an unavoidable cost of doing business, but a new global study reveals it’s fast becoming one of manufacturing’s biggest ...

Many of the new combined cycle power plants that have sprouted up in the last two decades have open recirculating cooling systems, i.e., cooling towers, for turbine exhaust steam and auxiliary cooling ...

Even minor traces of chloride, sulfate, and sodium hydroxide can cause severe problems in steam systems, and especially turbines. In the case of sodium hydroxide, stress corrosion cracking of turbine ...

Magnesium alloys are very attractive for a range of weight-sensitive applications. They have the largest strength-to-weight ratio of the common structural metals, are lighter than aluminum and are ...

Since its birth in the early 20th century, atomic research has brought mostly positive impacts to our lives. This week is Nuclear Science Week, as an internationally observed, week-long event that ...

According to the World Corrosion Organization (New York, N.Y.), the annual cost of corrosion worldwide is estimated at $2.2 trillion (USD) — more than 3 percent of the world’s gross domestic product ...
