Corrosion of complex electronic equipment is an increasingly serious problem, causing expensive damage. Corrosion occurs through out the entire life cycle during different stages of manufacturing, assembly, transport and storage of components and assemblies and during field operations of the equipment. Presence of moisture, chloride, sulphur dioxide, hydrogen sulphide and other airborne corrosi...

The present article starts out by proposing a framework for risk assessment of RC structures utilizing condition indicators. Thereafter, the various building stones of the suggested framework are described. This description includes a summary of the basis for the probabilistic modeling of the initiation phases of chlorideinduced corrosion of concrete structures. Furthermore, a probabilistic mod...

a new anti-corrosion compound, melamine formaldehyde (mf), was formulated by the addition of proper amount of formaldehyde to melamine under specific conditions. this compound was mixed with a novel nano powder, which was extracted from corn cob ash containing sio2 particles, in order to improve its corrosion inhibition efficiency. this inhibitor provides a high level of protection for steel su...

The effects of metallurgical factors on the aqueous corrosion behavior of highentropy alloys (HEAs) are reviewed in this article. Alloying (e.g., Al and Cu) and processing (e.g., heat treatments) effects on the aqueous corrosion behavior of HEAs, including passive film formation, galvanic corrosion, and pitting corrosion, are discussed in detail. Corrosion rates of HEAs are calculated using ele...

The life of a concrete bridge exposed to deicing salt or seawater has often been limited by corrosion of the steel reinforcement. The service life of a concrete structure, degraded by corrosion, is considered to be the sum of the initiation and propagation periods. The initiation phase is the time required for sufficient accumulation of aggressive species at the rebar surface to initiate corros...

Indoor corrosion failures of aluminum-finned copper-tube evaporator coils, and also in some systems without aluminum fins, is a menacing issue in the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) industry. Extensive laboratory testing has verified the development of a reproducible screening method to assess suspected contaminants of producing premature failures of copper tube resulting from...
