Knowledge of the localized corrosion environment on a metal substrate can provide the critical link between atmospheric data and corrosion morphology and can enable the formation of a framework to predict service life as a function of environment. Over the last few decades the analytical characterization of bare metal surfaces undergoing atmospheric corrosion has improved, resulting in a more complete understanding and consideration of the environmental parameters involved. However, the corrosion processes and the role that the environmental parameters play in what is a multiphase system is rather complex involving chemical reactions and equilibria, ionic transport phenomena, and gaseous, aqueous and solid phases.

The need for corrosion mitigation and repair is a perennial concern for a wide array of industries. An attractive evolution in coatings application for mitigating the effects of environmental/operational degradation is cold spray of metallic replacement layers. As cold spray technologies continue to become more commonplace, portable, low-pressure cold spray systems presents an opportunity to bring metallic repair to the field for heavily damaged or corroded assets.
Seawater pH inside an offshore wind turbine monopole had changed from pH 8 to less than pH 5. And toxic gas alarms were energised. This paper discusses a theory why the pHdropped and solutions to overcome the low pH with the use of aluminium anodes.
Sol-gel coatings offer excellent properties such as scratch resistance, barrier properties, outdoor stability and high thermal stability. However, the precursors (silanes) used for these coatings are very expensive and require special care for handling and application on substrate. One approach to solve this problem is the incorporation of conventional organic polymer as the organic modifying component in silane coating formulation. Incorporation of organic polymer will reduce the cost and will make sol-gel coatings readily acceptable in industry.
In the present study, thermal effects on the corrosion behavior and corrosion protection performance of TSA coating were investigated using various electrochemical techniques. Heat treatment at higher temperature induces more cracks in the sealer and aluminum coating. Water and corrosive species (e.g., Cl-) penetrate through the cracks, resulting in corrosion of steel substrate.
Chromate conversion coatings are relied upon to ensure the long-term corrosion performance and surface electrical properties of aluminum alloys, as well as to improve the bond strength and adhesive properties of organic coatings and adhesives. Chromate based chemistries have been all but eliminated in Europe, and it is believed the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will stage their elimination in the USA within the next 5 to 10 years. The development of chemistries to replace chromate has been a hot area of research for over 30 years, and now a series of commercial alternatives have become available. These new coatings differ in their chemistry and performance characteristics, as well as their functional limitations, from chromate.
Liquid Metal Embrittlement (LME) phenomenon occurs when the certain molten metals wet the specific alloys, causing drastic ductility reduction that normally is associated with the formation of an intergranular crack that is sudden and brittle in nature. High tensile stress is also known to promote cracking; however, cracks may develop merely by contacting molten metal with a susceptible alloy as there is only a small amount of low-melting-point metal required to cause LME.
Painted aluminum extrusions are a common architectural material used in the manufacture of windows and door frames. The applied coatings, typically in a shop atmosphere, may not always work once installed in the field due to a variety of fabrication defects and or exposures.

A review of research work in the literature to date for both laboratory and field evaluations, toward identifying technically relevant situations where the use of sacrificial anodes may or may not be a practical option for reinforcement protection in concrete structures.
