Fretting corrosion is a form of erosion corrosion that can quickly deteriorate certain metals. It happens when there is a bad combination of fretting and corrosion. Fretting itself is the act of rubbing or excessive friction. When two metals are already at risk of...
What a Direct Current Voltage Gradient Survey Entails
A direct current voltage gradient survey is what is done to evaluate a pipeline for defects in its coatings. A pipeline coating is designed to help prevent corrosion from reaching the actual pipeline and causing rust, holes, and leaks. Finding abnormalities in the...
Ways to Reduce Arc Flash Incidents
Arc flash is one of the leading causes of fires in industrial settings. It is also one of the potentially most disastrous. Arc flash can lead to major explosions where molten metal shrapnel can fly through the air, causing immeasurable damage to the space and even...
