Researchers at Tohoku University have developed a new technique to identify the initiation sites of a destructive process ...

Ultra-lightweight alloys with high strength, ductility and corrosion resistance are desirable for applications in the automotive, aerospace, defence, biomedical, sporting and electronic goods sectors.

Researchers have created intermetallic alloy nanoparticles of palladium and zinc with an alternating arrangement of zinc and palladium atoms. The intermetallic alloy is more corrosion-resistant than ...

Almost all alloys corrode or rust to an extent. Corrosion is a type of oxidation, and rusting is a component of corrosion. Rusting occurs when the alloy is in contact with air and humidity, resulting ...

Materials selections must be given detailed attention at every stage of the design, construction and operation of systems and equipment for application in offshore oil and gas production. Full ...

I noticed the alloy wheels on my BMW E91 320d have corroded three years and three months after I bought the car from new. The wheels have been well looked after and the car has only done 35000 miles.

Other metals may oxidise more slowly. Gold and other very unreactive metals do not oxidise in air at all. Corrosion close corrosionThe destruction of a metal by oxidation or chemical action, eg ...

(a) Optical microscopy image of the Al alloy surface in a sodium chloride solution without pH buffering. Discoloration of intermetallic compounds and the deposition of corrosion products increase over ...
