A 1998 EPRI study, released in October of 2001, estimated the cost of corrosion in 1998 to steam generating facilities alone at $5.37 billion. The study, EPRI Report 1004662, also concluded that 22 ...

When pipeline failures are discussed, the conversation often centers on what happens years after installation: corrosion ...

Corrosion is a chemical reaction to which even the strongest structures fall victim. Metals such as steel react with oxygen and water, going on to rust and decay. Cathodic protection plays a key role ...

It’s only a matter of time before someone in a power plant is killed by a preventable catastrophic failure of a buried natural gas pipeline. The danger posed is less the result of willful negligence ...

This article summarises the international development of cathodic protection of steel in concrete. The technology was developed in Europe and the USA for applications to buried prestressed concrete ...

Using the wire beam electrode technique, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, the formation of calcareous deposits in a tidal zone and its effects on the ...

Corrosion of buried steel can be managed through one or some combination of the following four approaches: (1) the service life of the steel can be increased with additional steel incorporated into ...

This corroding galvanized steel pole exhibits red corrosion products due to corrosivity of soil, chloride ions and galvanic action. When Dawson Public Power District in Lexington, Nebraska, U.S., ...

Marine environment is known as the most corrosive natural medium in the world, which results in huge loss of economy and blocking marine progress as well 1,2. With the development and utilization of ...

Cathodic corrosion protection is widely used, but how it works exactly has been unclear and disputed by experts. ETH researchers propose a mechanism that resolves the apparent contradictions between ...
