Corrosion is the enemy of industrial process equipment, from pharmaceuticals to food and beverage to energy production.

Cast iron lasts forever with a little TLC. But if a vintage piece has seen some things, here's how to determine whether it's ...

Discover how to choose the best stainless steel grade based on your environment, performance needs, and application ...

However, it is susceptible to pitting corrosion in chloride-rich conditions, making it less suitable for applications involving salty or briny water. 3 The addition of molybdenum gives 316 stainless ...

Unlike pitting corrosion, it occurs at lower temperatures and often remains undetected until component removal reveals the damage. The choice of materials significantly impacts system longevity. While ...

The SAF 2304 presented a higher pitting potential than the AISI 317L ... From earlier studies, the AISI 317L presents higher corrosion resistance than the AISI 316L stainless steel. Likewise, it can ...

Researchers at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory delved into the mysterious world of pitting corrosion in additively manufactured (3D-printed) stainless steel 316L in seawater and ...

In a recent paper published in Nature Communications, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) scientists have explored the cause of pitting corrosion in 3D printed stainless steel 316L in ...

Stainless steel 316L is a popular choice for marine applications due to its excellent combination of mechanical strength and corrosion resistance. This holds even more true after 3D printing, but even ...

“While our slags looked different than what had been observed in conventionally manufactured materials, we hypothesized that they could be a cause of pitting corrosion in 316L. We confirmed this by ...
