Failure prevention by short-time corrosion tests

Corrosion Prevention

Speculating about where the future of the field of corrosion prevention, detection, and rehabilitation might lead is interesting—but not without risk. We all are aware of the revolution in electronics, particularly digital electronics, and information science during the past 20 years. We also should recognize that materials science and technology have undergone a major revolution, bringing us n...

A Short Introduction to Corrosion and Its Control Corrosion of Metals and Its Prevention What Is Corrosion

The consequences of corrosion are many and varied and the effects of these on the safe, reliable and efficient operation of equipment or structures are often more serious than the simple loss of a mass of metal. Failures of various kinds and the need for expensive replacements may occur even though the amount of metal destroyed is quite small. Some of the major harmful effects of corrosion can ...

Corrosion Prevention of Aluminum Nanoparticles by a Polyurethane Coating

In order to prevent corrosion, aluminum nanoparticles were coated with a polyurethane polymer. The coverage of the polyurethane polymer was controlled from 0 to 100%, which changed the corrosion rate of the nanoparticles quantitatively. The surface of the polymer coating was investigated by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), and the corrosion resistance of...
