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 ...

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 ...

WHILE SOME corrosion-control treatments may be beneficial, a UB professor has proven in laboratory experiments that one rust-proofing treatment billed as protecting motor vehicles against the ravages ...

Corrosion of steel structures in electric transmission, distribution, and substation applications has been around for many years, but it’s getting more attention as electric utilities become more ...

Photoelectrochemical cathodic protection (PECCP) is an advanced strategy employing semiconductor materials to generate electrons under illumination, thereby offering a sustainable method to mitigate ...

New-car buyers have invariably heard sales pitches for extended warranties and protection packages that have become the bread-and-butter of many dealerships. The most commonly recommended add-on is ...

The safety of passengers in cars is generally measured by the presence of seat belts, airbags, crumble zone and shock absorbing capacity. But it is important to note that more than 50% of the total ...

The service life of marine steel structures is significantly impacted by metal corrosion. The conventional cathodic protection method requires a significant amount of energy and metal resources.

An important aspect in the use of cathodic protection of reinforced concrete is the need for regular monitoring of performance and maintenance of the anode and electrical systems. This is to ensure ...
