Connecting a more reactive metal from higher in the series protects from corrosion. A lower (less reactive) metal accepts electrons from iron and speeds up the rusting process. Since oxygen and ...

Dissolved oxygen can either enhance or inhibit the rate of corrosion of steel, depending on the mineral content of the water and the dissolved oxygen concentration (Singley et al., 1985; Benjamin, ...

Gold and other very unreactive metals do not oxidise in air at all. Corrosion close corrosionThe destruction of a metal by oxidation or chemical action, eg rusting. happens when a metal continues ...

Max Planck Institute for Sustainable Materials (MPI-SusMat) researchers have transformed dealloying—traditionally seen as a ...

Effectively prevent corrosion on industrial equipment to extend equipment lifespan and reduce operational costs for your business and industry.

Corrosion, the namesake of this entire journal, is the process by which even a relatively stable metal seeks and absorbs oxygen particles and eventually oxidizes—meaning it forms pockets of oxides.
