Understanding Corrosion and Its PreventiRusting Away No More: The Rising Tide of the Anti-Corrosion Coatings Marketon
Corrosion, the gradual deterioration of metal due to chemical reactions with the environment, is a silent but costly enemy for industries worldwide. From infrastructure to automotive, marine to aerospace, the impact of corrosion can be devastating, leading to structural weaknesses, safety hazards, and financial losses. However, there’s a beacon of hope shining through the gloom: the anti-corrosion coatings market.
The importance of accurate dissolved oxygen condensate/feedwater monitoring
Frequently, author Buecker sees a post on LinkedIn offering a blanket recommendation for feedwater deaeration in high-pressure utility steam generators. The various authors of these commentaries seem to be unaware of the issue of flow-accelerated corrosion (FAC). Given the potentially large distribution of LinkedIn posts, many people may be exposed to critical misinformation in this regard. I wrote about FAC issues in a Power Engineering series last autumn, followed by a recent article on trace metal analysis for feedwater corrosion monitoring.
Understanding Corrosion and Its Prevention
Corrosion is a major issue that affects many industries and can cause significant damage to infrastructure, equipment, and even the environment. World Corrosion Awareness Day, observed on April 24th each year, aims to raise awareness about this issue and promote the importance of corrosion prevention.
