With the knowledge of the role of various microorganisms present in soil and water bodies, the definition for corrosion need be further widened to include microbially-influenced factors. Corrosion can be …

This review offers an insightful overview of literature related to corrosion, its types, mechanism, laboratory scale testing approaches and strategies to inhibit corrosion.

Corrosion can be mitigated by five basic methods: coatings, cathodic protection, materials selection, chemical inhibitors, and environmental change.

In the oil and gas industry, Sweet Corrosion and Sour Corrosion are terms used to describe specific types of metal degradation caused by different corrosive agents:

According to the contribution of the constituent processes to the fracture effect, mechanical and chemical corrosion is divided into: hydrogen embrittlement, stress corrosion, corrosion cracking, and …

Preventing galvanic corrosion in cable trays can be done by using isolation materials between dissimilar metals, coating one or both metals, and cathodic protection.
