This study evaluated the corrosion behavior and ion release of assembled orthodontic appliances incorporating different archwire alloys in artificial saliva with and without fluoride, focusing on localized degradation and the susceptibility of welded...
Pipeline transportation systems (PTS) move oil and gas reliably and economically, but internal and external corrosion threaten their mechanical integrity. This systematic review examines how microscopic analysis, image processing, and artificial inte...
The effects of stacking configuration on the environmental durability of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates were investigated under hygrothermal and salt spray aging. Unidirectional [0]n and cross-ply [0/90]n laminates were aged for up...
2-mercaptobenzimidazole (2-MBI) and propargyl-functionalized MBI (propargyl-MBI) as corrosion inhibitors for API 5L X70 steel in CO2-saturated NaCl solution was evaluated using potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS...
This study investigated the effects of Nb additions on the microstructure, hardness, and high-temperature oxidation behaviour of mechanically alloyed and spark-plasma-sintered Ti–48Al–2Cr–xNb alloys containing 1–5 at.% Nb. The...
Elevated temperature corrosion inhibition has posed significant challenges to carbon steel wellbores. This study proposes bis-Mannich bases (BM)/Mannich-based imidazoline quaternary ammonium salt (MIQ) composite inhibitors with synergistic multiple a...
Startup delays can leave sulfur-deposit-prone gathering nodes below a prescribed dispersant concentration despite adequate steady dosing. This study combines archived characterization, a conditional experimental mixing comparison and transport calcul...
To investigate the corrosion failure of a reducing tee at a shale gas station, a failure analysis was carried out. The failed tee was made of L245N steel, with a large-diameter branch of DN 80 and a small-diameter branch of DN 25. The DN 80 branch co...
Corrosion under insulation (CUI) remains a major asset integrity concern in process plants because degradation occurs beneath insulation, cladding, coatings, or protective wrapping, where direct visual access to the metal surface is restricted. A wid...
Despite decades of investigation, a complete understanding of CO2 corrosion under complex environmental and operational conditions remains challenging. The stability and protective properties of corrosion-product scales across a wide range of service...
Internal corrosion in gas-field separators is highly localized because flow, phase distribution, deposits, and water chemistry vary strongly over the vessel wall. This study presents a flow-field-driven zonal framework for corrosion-hotspot screening...
This study investigates the corrosion inhibition performance of a sustainable green extract derived from Spent Coffee Silverskin (SCS) using ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE). High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) quantified Caffeine (43.9...
Improving the environmental sustainability and resource efficiency of cementitious composites requires technologies that reduce natural aggregate consumption while maintaining adequate durability in aggressive environments. This study evaluates limes...
NdFeB permanent magnets are essential components in electric vehicles, wind-turbine generators, high-performance motors, and other energy technologies because of their exceptional magnetic performance. However, their multiphase microstructure and hig...
The corrosion of reinforcing steel induced by chloride ingress is one of the main causes of premature deterioration in reinforced concrete structures. Among the available mitigation strategies, surface-applied corrosion inhibitors are attractive as a...
Corrosion of carbon steel in acidic medium remains a major industrial concern, requiring efficient and economical corrosion inhibitors. In this work, expired Escitalopram was examined as a potential waste-derived corrosion inhibitor for carbon steel...
Aged pipeline networks face interacting operational, electrochemical, structural, and metallurgical degradation mechanisms that are often assessed independently, limiting diagnosis of system-wide failure propagation. This study develops an integrated...
Ti-15V-3Al-3Cr-3Sn alloy (Ti-153) plates were subjected to a hydriding process to obtain Ti-153 powder which was further hot-press sintered (HPS) into porous electrodes to see their hydrogen storage and evolution capabilities. The effects of processi...
High-temperature equipment in the petrochemical industry can develop multiple forms of damage during long-term service, with corrosion often accounting for a relatively high proportion. The presence of other damage forms complicates corrosion identif...
Assessing the reliability of corroded onshore pipelines represents a spatial and temporal challenge. Pipe operators seek to estimate segment degradation and design an effective maintenance plan with imperfect information, where multiple failure modes...
Ti owes its clinical durability to a protective passive oxide film; however, repetitive toothbrushing and fluoride exposure may disrupt this interface and increase its susceptibility to tribocorrosion. This in vitro study investigated the electrochem...
