Features
Drone Shows Promise in
Measuring Coating Thickness
The Smart Bee drone is capable of flying to a
location, touching a probe to the surface, and
successfully taking a nondestructive
measurement of the dry film thickness.
Specification and Inspection Play a
Vital Role in Coating Steel Structures
Basic concepts are presented for young corrosion
engineers to improve skills on coating
specification and inspection that will impact
structural steel painting work.
Editor's Choice
Detecting Corrosive Sulfides Poses
Challenges for U.S. Shale Operators
Many modern tests focusing on the detection of
sulfate-reducing bacteria as corrosive agents in
metal oil and gas pipelines could be missing a
separate bacterial family also responsible for
corrosion.
High Pressure Key to Lighter,
Stronger Metal Alloys
Based on their study results, researchers at
Stanford University suggest that high pressure
could be the key to developing advanced metal
mixtures that are lighter, stronger, and more
resistant to heat and corrosion than conventional
alloys.
