Corrosion is defined as a refined metal that is naturally converted to a more stable form such as its hydroxide or sulphide state. Metal corrodes when it reacts with another substance such as oxygen, hydrogen or bacteria. Corrosion can also happen when metals are placed under too much stress causing the material to crack. Corrosion leads to deterioration of the material. In this section you can find newsitems related to all types of corrosion such as stress corrosion cracking, intergranular corrosion, pitting, and corrosion fatigue.

Despite so many advances in technology today, industries still face the age-old problem of corrosion. Much time and money are poured into preventing rust or trying to remedy its consequences.
We are excited to announce that the highly anticipated Managing Aging Plants USA Conference & Expo 2020 will now be taking place on December 2nd and 3rd, 2020, at the San Jacinto Colleges LyondellBasell Center for Petrochemical, Energy, & Technology (CPET) in Pasadena, TX.
When youre choosing a tubing material, the choices might seem overwhelming; both stainless steel and aluminum come in a variety of alloys and tempers, each with its own physical and mechanical properties.
Global leaders in Weld Purging Technology, Huntingdon Fusion Techniques HFT®, have launched the re-designed Weld Trailing Shields®, which provide an additional inert gas coverage during welding, preventing the hot metal from coming into contact with air while it cools.
As a plant or refinery ages, it becomes susceptible to degradation issues such as erosion, corrosion, and fatigue. The Managing Aging Plants USA Conference & Expo 2020 will be a meeting point for manufacturers, inspectors, and operators to share their knowledge and experiences with aging infrastructures in order to educate each other and address how to mitigate these important issues.
Talon Metals Corp. has announced that the Company has received assays from another drill hole from its winter 2020 exploration program at the Tamarack Nickel-Copper-Cobalt project, located in Minnesota, USA.
Titanium and stainless steel are both reactive alloys. When they are heated during the welding process, they will react with any air that is present, causing oxidation, which can lead to a loss of corrosion resistance properties.
Taking place on October 6th and 7th, 2020 at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, TX, the Managing Aging Plants USA Conference & Expo 2020 will be the meeting point of the year for Principle Engineers, Materials Engineers, Corrosion Engineers, Metallurgists, Reliability Inspectors, Asset Integrity Managers, and Maintenance Directors to explore a vast range of subjects related to the management and lifecycles of aging plants and infrastructures.
