Corrosion and Materials Degradation, Volume 2, Issue 4

Environmental cracking- and fatigue-related failures threaten all major industries and, to combat such degradation, numerous residual stress impingement (RSI) methods have been developed with varying levels of efficacy and ease of use. Some of the mo...

Different structural lightweight concrete mixtures of specific density and strength classes were produced by using various lightweight aggregates (LWAs) such as pumice, perlite, and rice husk ash. Their properties were evaluated in fresh and hardened...

A perspective is presented on the evolution of damage due to environmentally assisted cracking (EAC), from crack precursor development through to long crack growth. The variable nature of crack precursors is highlighted with an observation that uncon...

This paper tackles bacteria of the genus Bacillus as both biodamaging/biodegrading and biocontrolling agents. The article addresses the said bacteria’s ability to form biofilms and corrosive, antimicrobial and antibiofilm proactive compounds, primari...
