(PhysOrg.com) -- A barrier coating developed through CSIRO’s Light Metals Flagship offers aluminium smelters significant annual savings in reduced consumption of petroleum coke alone. Smelter trials ...

After undergoing a 12.5-pH cleaning and sterilization process 10 times, an anodized aluminum sample without the Micralox coating (left) shows more corrosion than a sample with the coating (right).

ProShield XGT is a new coating process is engineered to eliminate significant filiform corrosion, a threadlike corrosion that spreads beneath damaged coatings. Accuride used the Technology & ...

Metals may seem tough, but given enough time even plain old air can be their undoing. Oxygen reacts with it to form metal oxides like rust, but now it turns out a metal oxide may come to the rescue.

Water droplets can build electrical charge as they move, creating tiny discharges that puncture coatings and expose metal to ...

Many new materials have been developed, but steel remains the principal construction material for automobiles, appliances, and industrial machinery. Because of steel's vulnerability to attack by ...

Aluminum is one of the most commonly used materials in automotive manufacturing. It is known for its material strength and light weight, with aluminum widely used to help create safer, lighter, and ...

Researchers at South Ural State University have developed an innovative thermal barrier coating by combining glass with an aluminium alloy, offering a new solution for protecting engine components ...

Coating services apply a thin layer of material onto parts or products provided by a client. These services are used by companies that do not have coating technology and equipment in house. Once a ...
