As useful as steel is, its main weakness may be its vulnerability to corrosion. Researchers in Korea have now developed a new alloy coating that boosts steel’s resistance to rust, by adding a simple ...

Scientists at Rice University have cooked up a new alloy with a unique and diverse set of attributes that could prove highly effective at protecting steel from corrosion. The novel coating not only ...

Oil and gas infrastructure is frequently exposed to hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, chlorides, and elemental sulfur, all capable of corroding parts from the inside out. Ordinary carbon steel is ...

Engineers have spent decades trying to build metals that do not snap, melt, or grind away under extreme conditions, and for a ...

Corrosion becomes an inevitable problem when structures come into immediate contact with water and other chemicals, e.g., in water parks and swimming pools. It includes repeatedly accessed places such ...

Aluminum alloys, renowned for their excellent strength-to-weight ratios, are integral to diverse industrial applications, from aerospace to automotive sectors. The corrosion behaviour of these alloys, ...
