An Arizona State University research team has released new insights about intergranular stress-corrosion cracking (SCC), an environmental cause of premature failure in engineered structures, including ...

A core concern for any structural material is maintaining a prolonged, effective service life. Notably, critical metal alloy failures typically initiate beyond the naked eye, where intergranular ...

Corrosion resistance is one of the main advantages of the application of stainless steels. However, in some cases, stainless steels suffer certain types of corrosion and therefore precautions should ...

Australian defence officials have been urged to consider round-the-clock dehumidification systems at an Air Force base near Newcastle to curb the corrosion risk for its fleet of Joint Strike Fighter ...

Grades 321 and 347 are the basic austenitic 18/8 steel (Grade 304) stabilized by Titanium (321) or Niobium (347) additions. These grades are used because they are not sensitive to intergranular ...

One of the primary challenges of reliably burning coal is managing the corrosion experienced by the furnace heat transfer surfaces. Fireside corrosion remains a leading cause of failure in superheater ...

The safety of nuclear reactors is paramount for both environmental protection and human safety. Technological advancements, most notably the development of real-time 3D monitoring of reactor corrosion ...
