Alternating current (AC) corrosion represents a significant challenge for pipeline integrity, particularly where high-voltage power lines and electrified railways coexist with buried pipelines. The ...

As described in Chapter 2, metallic corrosion involves oxidation (anodic) and reduction (cathodic) half-cell reactions, where the metal oxidation reaction is the anodic reaction, and the reduction of ...

In previous Power Engineering articles, we examined the importance of trace iron monitoring to determine the extent of carbon steel corrosion in heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) condensate and ...

Transmission line structures, foundations, conductors, and hardware are installed in a wide variety of environmental conditions and are continually subjected to environmental stressors that can cause ...

Every year, the United States spends nearly a trillion dollars fighting metallic corrosion, an electrochemical reaction that occurs when metals oxidize and begin to rust. Every year, the United States ...

Light Publishing Center, Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics And Physics, CAS Steels are widely used not only in daily life but also in urban infrastructure and industry owing to their good ...

As previously reported in Power Engineering and other sources (but where regular reminders are extremely important), the phenomenon of flow-accelerated corrosion (FAC) has for years been a serious ...

Steel is a foundational material used in a huge number of sectors, from construction to transportation. With its strength, durability, and versatility, the material is invaluable. But not all steel is ...
