Chemical biocides remain the most effective mitigation strategy against microbiologically
influenced corrosion (MIC), one of the costliest and most pervasive forms of corrosion in …

Accidents involving fire occur every day around the world, affecting thousands of people and
causing economic losses. Some accidents are caused by steel structure failures, which …

Reflectance and Raman spectroscopies are powerful techniques for the mineralogical
characterization of iron ores. Reflectance spectroscopy in the visible (380–750 nm) and …

The use of intumescent coatings has proved to be an efficient alternative for the protection of
metallic substrates against fire. Benzoxazine is a type of phenolic resin of great interest for …

Intumescent coatings are a great alternative for passive protection of metal substrates
against fire, with binder polymer being one of the main components of an intumescent …

The influence of alloying (10 wt% Molybdenum) and post deposition treatment (Laser
Surface Melting) on the structural characteristics and wear performance of Plasma Transfer …

The formation and microstructure of NiO films on different substrates were monitored using
XRD, Raman, UV/Vis/NIR and FE–SEM/EDS techniques. The formation of NiO films on Ni …

In civil construction, intumescent coatings are widely used in steel structures, because in a
fire, this material loses approximately half of its elastic modulus at 500° C. The use of these …

The synthesis and application of ZIF-8 as an effective corrosion inhibitor for the corrosion of
API 5L X65 steel in 3.5 wt% NaCl have been studied. The synthesized ZIF-8 was …

The objective of this paper is to investigate the tribological properties of a novel iron-copper-
graphite (Fe–Cu–C) based self lubricating material at high temperature. The effect of …
