The cost of corrosion in China

Baorong Hou, Xiaogang Li, Xiumin Ma et al. · 20 Jul 2017

Abstract Corrosion is a ubiquitous and costly problem for a variety of industries. Understanding and reducing the cost of corrosion remain primary interests for corrosion professionals and relevant asset owners. The present study summarises the findings that arose from the landmark “Study of Corrosion Status and Control Strategies in China”, a key consulting project of…

Recent advances in biodegradable polymers for sustainable applications

Aya Samir, Fatma H. Ashour, A. A. Abdel Hakim et al. · 19 Aug 2022

Abstract The interest in producing biodegradable polymers by chemical treatment, microorganisms and enzymes has increased to make it easier to dispose after the end of its use without harming the environment. Biodegradable polymers reported a set of issues on their way to becoming effective materials. In this article, biodegradable polymers, treatment, composites, blending and modeling…

Corrosion of high entropy alloys

Yao Qiu, S. Thomas, Mark A. Gibson et al. · 18 Aug 2017

Abstract High entropy alloys represent a unique class of metal alloys, comprising nominally five or more elements in near equiatomic proportions. High entropy alloys have gained significant interest on the basis that the high configurational entropy of such alloy systems is purported to result in a single-phase solid solution structure. While such a single-phase structure…

A comparative review of the aqueous corrosion of glasses, crystalline ceramics, and metals

G. S. Frankel, John D. Vienna, Jie Lian et al. · 24 Apr 2018

Abstract All materials can suffer from environmental degradation; the rate and extent of degradation depend on the details of the material composition and structure as well as the environment. The corrosion of silicate glasses, crystalline ceramics, and metals, particularly as related to nuclear waste forms, has received a lot of attention. The corrosion phenomena and…

Chromate replacement: what does the future hold?

Oumaïma Gharbi, S. Thomas, Craig B. Smith et al. · 13 Mar 2018

Abstract The ubiquitous use of chromium and its derivatives as corrosion preventative compounds accelerated rapidly after the second industrial revolution, with such compounds now integral to modern society. However, the detrimental impact of chromium compounds on the environment and human health has prompted the need to revisit the majority of current industrial corrosion protection measures.…
