Pure aluminum (Al) is generally considered corrosion-resistant due to the protective nature of the spontaneously forming aluminum oxide passive film. This film acts as a wide bandgap insulator and ...

A recent article published in npj Materials Degradation explored the defining role of nanoscale heterogeneities in corrosion pathways in a high-strength aluminum alloy via detailed electron microscopy ...

Corrosion is a historical and persistent challenge for aircraft, affecting both metal structures (as electrochemical deterioration or "rust") and wooden components, where it manifests as "dry rot" ...

This study offers a comprehensive characterization of anodic surface layers formed in sodium oxalate electrolyte and systematically analyses the influence of addition of sodium silicate. X-ray ...

The global chrome-free corrosion protection coatings for aluminum aircraft skins market is projected to surge from an ...

Water is an excellent coolant, but the flip side is that it is also an excellent solvent. This, in short, is why any water cooling loop is also a prime candidate for an interesting introduction to the ...
