Public and private water and sewer companies have assets such as dams, culverts, tunnels, transmission/collection pipelines, water and wastewater treatment plants, pumping plants, distribution pipelines, and storage reservoirs. A considerable part of these facilities...

In our previous posts in our series on the forms of corrosion, we introduced uniform, galvanic, pitting, and crevice corrosion. In this post, we explore four additional forms of corrosion: intergranular corrosion, stress corrosion cracking, selective leaching, and...

In our first post in our series on the forms of corrosion, we introduced uniform corrosion and galvanic corrosion. In this post we explore three additional forms of corrosion: passivity, pitting, and crevice corrosion. Passivity Corrosion “Passivity is the enabler of...

An Introduction to Forms of Corrosion An introduction to the general definition of corrosion of metals and alloys was provided in the previous blog post. Different forms of corrosion will be introduced in a series of posts, starting from uniform and galvanic...

Corrosion Defined To one degree or another, nearly all engineering materials experience some type of interaction with a large number of diverse environments, which often impair a material’s usefulness as a result of the deterioration of its mechanical properties...
