This body of work aims to develop predictive models and improve corrosion resistance in steel used in various applications. One area of recent research has examined the electrochemical corrosion ...
He was researching steel alloys to stop corrosion in gun barrels. Brearley made an alloy using iron, carbon, chromium, and nickel. However, it didn't work well for a gun barrel, so he tossed it ...
METALS and alloys which are resistant to corrosion usually depend for their resistance on the formation and maintenance of thin films (commonly between 5 and 200 Å thick) of passivating oxide.
