Corrosion is defined as a refined metal that is naturally converted to a more stable form such as its hydroxide or sulphide state. Metal corrodes when it reacts with another substance such as oxygen, hydrogen or bacteria. Corrosion can also happen when metals are placed under too much stress causing the material to crack. Corrosion leads to deterioration of the material. In this section you can find newsitems related to all types of corrosion such as stress corrosion cracking, intergranular corrosion, pitting, and corrosion fatigue.

Nickel-based super alloys for sour wells
The new face of oil and gas discovery will be with deep wells. As compared to shallow wells, deep wells normally need high performance nickel based alloys.
Effect of rotational speed on intergranular corrosion resistance of friction welded...
In this research paper super duplex stainless steel SAF 2507 has been selected to investigate the intergranular corrosion resistance of friction welded SDSS SAF 2507 joints. The joints were welded at three different rotational speeds: 700 rpm, 1080 rpm and 1600 rpm and three different friction pressures: 40 Mpa, 69 Mpa and 78 Mpa.
