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 ...

I just bought a new Toyota RAV4, and the salesperson tried to sell me rust-proofing (rust protection for the car). I thought that a new car already has this, so do I really need to do it again? - ...

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 ...

A 1998 EPRI study, released in October of 2001, estimated the cost of corrosion in 1998 to steam generating facilities alone at $5.37 billion. The study, EPRI Report 1004662, also concluded that 22 ...

Mechanism of cathodic protection of iron or carbon steel. Schematic representation of cathodic protection mechanism (a) before the application of CP, (b) in the first instants of CP application, (c) ...

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

When buying a new Impreza last fall, I turned down the sales pitch to buy an electronic rust-proofing package and planned to use Krown rust spray every year. I was left with the impression that my ...

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 ...
