Empirical data were used to construct statistically sound models pertinent to fluoride-containing brackish water, and the models were verified against field corrosion coupon data.
This former combat vessel suffered from leaks and a pitted surface. It needed a long-term coating repair solution capable of bonding to a poor substrate with rapid curing times.
Without an effective cathodic protection system and no other means of corrosion control, the tank floor was exposed to a severe form of bacterial and underdeposit corrosion.
Water utility officials in Arlington, Texas, are working with University of Texas at Arlington researchers to inspect concrete manhole shafts and sewer pipes for corrosion, cracks, and other internal defects.
The practical guide was designed to help coatings engineers or specifiers determine candidate protective coating systems for particular industrial environments.
This U.S. research team believes a spectroscopic method known as second harmonic generation, which alters the wavelength of light, can be adapted to look for signs of internal damage in metals.
With a commitment to core ideology behind us, strategic planning efforts shifted toward survey input and analytical data that helped create a picture of the current state of health of our association.
