When the range of these corrosion rates is established for a particular application, buried metal structures could be built with a barrier coating, corrosion allowance, or conditioned soil to ...

Every year, about US$2.5 trillion is lost to corrosion globally. That’s more than 3 percent of the global GDP. But the concern over metal corrosion is not solely a financial issue. It&#8217 ...

Factors Affecting Corrosion Rates of Steel in Concrete The factors which determine the corrosion rate of steel in concrete are; the presence of an ionically conducting aqueous phase in contact with ...

Ideally, you’d use aluminum fittings and fasteners, minimizing the chance of galvanic corrosion, but these are hard to find. Instead use 300-series stainless steel. This works fine if you isolate the ...

As useful as steel is, its main weakness may be its vulnerability to corrosion. Researchers in Korea have now developed a new alloy coating that boosts steel’s resistance to rust, by adding a ...
