Hydrogen as an energy carrier can help mitigate global warming in the forthcoming years.
However, equipment exposed to hydrogen must cope with the potentially damaging effect …

Ultrafine grained (UFG) and nanostructured steels have gained attention in the last years
because of the possibility of improving both strength and ductility, but also because of their …

Corrosion resistance of sensitized austenitic stainless steel (SS) in chloride environments is
currently the subject of numerous studies. Most of them are focused on neutral chloride …

This study investigates the capability of WC/C coatings to protect bearing bores against
fretting wear when there is a lack of lubrication, a typical failure mechanism in bearings …

In this study, we examined the relationship between the effect of a zinc coating on protecting
carbon steel against biofilm formation in both air and water environments. SS400 carbon …

Technetium metal is renowned for its inertness in environmental conditions, rendering it an
optimal candidate for use as a container material for high-level radioactive waste …

The influence of Microarc Oxidation (MAO) modes of titanium substrate in electrolytes of the
original composition is investigated. Used electrolytes no contain sodium silicate but …

Wind abrasion, caused by particles transported by strong winds impacting on structures, can
lead to their degradation. Although this phenomenon has hardly been studied in this context …

Although iron dissolves in diluted nitric acid solutions, it does not dissolve in concentrated
solutions because of surface passivation. When a small amount of water is added to a …

In this paper the root cause failure of a super-heater boiler tube is discovered. The tube has
been worked in caustic media (pH= 8.9∼ 9.6) for virtually 40 months. The working …
