Researchers are using new, experimental techniques like Shear Assisted Processing and Extrusion (ShAPE™) and friction stir welding to produce metal components that are lighter, stronger, and more ...

Corrosion is an oxidation reaction that affects most metals. In the case of steel, the iron oxidizes when exposed to air and water to form rust, which can gradually destroy the material over time. The ...

Materials scientists have long sought to enhance the durability of thermal/environmental barrier coatings (T/EBCs) under extreme conditions ...

It's hard for Steve Carr to talk about his career without talking about corrosion. From the earliest of his 35-years as a chemical engineer, Carr has studied the debilitating effects associated with ...

A new multimillion pound collaborative research project led by BP and the University of Manchester could help to dramatically reduce the impact that surface degradation processes such as corrosion and ...
