Corrosion is a major cause of structural deterioration in marine and offshore structures. It
affects the life of process equipment and pipelines, and can result in structural failure …

The conditions for initiation and the subsequent development of the severity of corrosion of
metal alloys in the short term continue to be of research interest. However, for most physical …

Humankind has been able to develop a metals-based civilization primarily because the
reactive metals (Fe, Ni, Cr, Al, Ti, Zr,...) exhibit extraordinary kinetic stabilities in oxidizing …

Steel pipelines externally exposed to seawater pit more severely in heat-affected weld
zones but longer-term quantitative data are scarce. Maximum pit depths and variability are …

In this paper, we provide an alternative, more general theoretical basis for damage function
analysis (DFA), by drawing an analogy between the growth of a pit and the movement of a …

High-strength steel and high-strength weathering steel have been increasingly used in
engineering constructions. Corrosion leads to a decrease in the fatigue strength of steel …

The modelling of both short-and long-term corrosion loss and maximum pit depth is
increasingly of interest to engineers and others interested in predicting the remaining life of …

Pitting corrosion of stainless steel has been investigated with high-resolution in situ X-ray
microtomography. The growth of pits at the tip of stainless steel pins has been observed with …

The Cl−-induced corrosion of metals and alloys is of relevance to a wide range of
engineered materials, structures, and systems. Because of the challenges in studying pitting …

The capacity of guided ultrasonic waves to size real corrosion defects remains challenging
due to the complexity of the profiles encountered in practice. In the past many studies on the …
