Magnetization in matter: fundamentals and engineering applications
Magnetization links electricity and magnetism, essential for modern applications.
Corrosion is an electrochemical process that degrades metallic materials and affects the performance of equipment and structures in the energy industry. Understanding its mechanisms, kinetics, and environmental variables is essential for material selection and designing mitigation measures.
This field integrates chemistry, metallurgy, mechanical integrity, and operations. Globally, corrosion generates significant costs and operational risks, driving technologies such as monitoring, coatings, inhibitors, and alloy selection in the U.S., Europe, and LATAM.
