Every year, about US$2.5 trillion is lost to corrosion globally. That’s more than 3 percent of the global GDP. But the concern over metal corrosion is not solely a financial issue. It’s one of safety ...

MIT scientists have found that aluminum oxide provides “healing”-like features when applied as a thin protective coating layer to other metals. Almost all metals, except gold, tend to oxidize when ...

Corrosion in metals can lead to the structural fatigue or failure of bridges, pipelines, and plane fuselages. Anti-corrosion coatings help prevent this, but they become ineffective when pierced, ...

In medical device manufacturing (MDM), material and process are two key un-separable factors, particularly when it comes to biomaterials. According to a market analysis report from Grand View Research ...

During normal times, any commodity producer will purchase short contracts on the LME (a bet that their product’s future price will fall). They do so not because they want the cost of their product to ...
