Corrosion-induced maintenance is a significant cost driver and availability degrader for aircraft structures. Although well-established analyses enable assessing the corrosion impact on structural integrity, this is not the case for fatigue nucleatio...
The determination of the water chemistry for cooling systems of nuclear fusion plants is under debate. It should be tailored for different types of fusion reactors: either experimental, e.g., ITER, JT-60SA, and DTT, or aimed at power generation, e.g....
The corrosion mechanism of stainless steel caused by high temperature decomposition of aqueous urea solution has been investigated. The relationship between aqueous urea solution, its thermal decomposition products and the corrosion mechanism of stai...
During their service life, existing structures may suffer a combination of ageing and reinforcement corrosion. The corrosion deterioration can significantly affect the durability of reinforced concrete (RC) elements causing premature concrete crushin...
The introduction of copper as wire bonding material brings about a new challenge of aluminum bond pad bimetallic corrosion at the copper/aluminum galvanic interface. Aluminum is well known to undergo pitting corrosion under halide-contaminated enviro...
Stress corrosion cracking is a well-known phenomenon in oxide glasses. However, how amorphous phase separation (APS) alters stress corrosion cracking, and the overall mechanical response of an oxide glass is less known in literature. APS is a dominan...
The corrosion morphology in grade 2205 duplex stainless steel wire was studied to understand the nature of pitting and the causes of the ferrite phase’s selective corrosion in acidic (pH 3) NaCl solutions at 60 °C. It is shown that the corrosion mech...
The scope of this study includes modeling and experimental investigation of sulfide stress cracking (SSC) of high-strength carbon steel. A model has been developed to predict hydrogen permeation in steel for a given pressure and temperature condition...
The influence of loading rate on the environment-assisted cracking (EAC) behavior of AA7075-T651 immersed in 0.6 and 1.0 M NaCl solution was assessed at applied potentials ranging from −800 to −1200 mVSCE via a slow-rising stress intensity (K) testin...
Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) measurements were carried out in high temperature water with Ni-based Alloy-182. The aim was to correlate the EIS results with differences in Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC) susceptibility that is present...
