Anodizing is commonly used for corrosion protection of aluminum and its alloys in the construction industry. The anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) coating has a high ability to prevent the development of extensive pitting corrosion in aluminum substrates,...

Concrete is a material of porous nature that, when humidified, becomes an ionic conductor whose apparent conductivity depends on the ionic load (typically based on ${\mathrm{OH}}^{-}$, Ca²⁺, Na⁺, and K⁺) and the amount of available free water. Under conditions of pa...

The radiolysis of water is a significant cause of corrosion damage in the primary heat transport systems (PHTSs) of water-cooled, fission nuclear power reactors (BWRs, PWRs, and CANDUs) and is projected to be a significant factor in the evolution of...

Machine learning (ML) is providing a new design paradigm for many areas of technology, including corrosion inhibition. However, ML models require relatively large and diverse training sets to be most effective. This paper provides an overview of deve...

AA2024-T3 are widely used in various applications because of their exceptional physical properties. However, they are susceptible to corrosion and cavitation erosion in aggressive environments due to high concentration of copper. Sol-gel coatings in...

High-voltage electrical cables are prone to saline corrosion, mostly in coastal environments. Steel wires are a crucial element in withstanding the mechanical solicitations of commonly used aluminum conductor steel reinforced (ACSR) cables. An experi...

Reinforcement corrosion is the risk most frequently cited to justify concrete durability research, especially where it is induced by chlorides. Surface-applied corrosion inhibitors are widely used to mitigate the corrosion process both for carbonatio...

Hybrid treatments consisting of surface modification and subsequent protective coatings have gained extensive attention among corrosion mitigation approaches for a wide variety of structural metallic materials. This study aims to review the enhanceme...

The variability found in real structures is a function of the “intrinsic” variability of the material itself, of its aging with time and of the external climatic conditions, and, therefore, it is normal that the chloride threshold and the...

Recent progress is reviewed. Recent developments include: (i) accumulation of evidence that electrochemical measurements of the Mg corrosion rate often do not agree with the steady state Mg corrosion rate as measured by weight loss; (ii) low Fe toler...
