Abstract In a freshwater environment, accelerated corrosion of carbon and stainless steels is frequently observed. Here, an immersion study was conducted using nine types in pool for 22 mo. Accelerated observed Cr-containing cast iron, whereas no visible steels, even after Microbial community analysis showed that, general corrosion, Fe(II)-oxidizing bacteria were enriched the early phase, Fe(II...

Corrosion accounts for 52% of the recorded breakdown insulators utilized in transmission lines, which may interfere with reliability power utilities. The CeO2 conversion coating, CeO2-ethylene propylene diene monomer, EPDM composite and Perfluoropolyether PFPE lubricating oil-infused hydrophobized surfaces were developed on insulator surface to address these challenges. properties three kinds s...

Since many household systems are fabricated out of metallic materials, changes to the household environment that accelerate corrosion rates will increase the frequency of failures in these systems. Recently, it has been reported that homes constructed with imported wallboard have increased failure rates in appliances, air conditioner heat exchanger coils, and visible corrosion on electrical wir...

Performance evaluation of implantable devices is not new to medical device manufacturers, specifically implant manufacturers. A focus on corrosion resistance of implant devices has prompted members of the medical device industry, along with the United States Food and Drug Administration [USFDA] to set forth a guide for performance testing. Although actual corrosion resistance of a material can ...

key words: Lead corrosion, Raman spectroscopy, oxide reduction, organic acids, electrochemistry Even though kept in cultural institutions, artefacts can be subjected to accelerated deterioration due to high concentration of pollutants in closed spaces. Potentially harmful conditions have been evaluated by electrochemical reduction of corrosion products formed on metallic coupons which have been...

The corrosion and tribocorrosion behavior of an as-cast high carbon CoCrMo alloy immersed in phosphate buffered solution (PBS) and phosphate buffered solution with bovine serum albumin (PBS+BSA) have been analyzed by electrochemical techniques and surface microscopy. After the electrochemical characterization of the alloy in both solutions, the sample was studied tribo-electrochemically (by ope...
