A corrosive environment leaves in-service conductive structures prone to subsurface corrosion which poses a severe threat to the structural integrity. It is indispensable to detect and quantitatively evaluate subsurface corrosion via non-destructive evaluation techniques. Although the gradient-field pulsed eddy current technique (GPEC) has been found to be superior in the evaluation of corrosion in conductors, it suffers from a technical drawback resulting from the non-uniform field excited by the conventional pancake coil. In light of this, a new GPEC probe with uniform field excitation for the imaging of subsurface corrosion is proposed in this paper. The excited uniform field makes the GPEC signal correspond only to the field perturbation due to the presence of subsurface corrosion, which benefits the corrosion profiling and sizing. A 3D analytical model of GPEC is established to analyze the characteristics of the uniform field induced within a conductor. Following this, experiments regarding the imaging of subsurface corrosion via GPEC have been carried out. It has been found from the results that the proposed GPEC probe with uniform field excitation not only applies to the imaging of subsurface corrosion in conductive structures, but provides high-sensitivity imaging results regarding the corrosion profile and opening size.

Implementation of machine learning (ML) techniques in materials science often requires large data sets. However, a proper choice of features and regression methods allows the construction of accurate ML models able to work with a relatively small data set. In this work, an extensive, although still limited, experimental data set of corrosion-related properties of Zn-based alloys used in biomedicine was created.

This paper provides an overview of the many different ways that light interacts with surfaces in the natural environment to provide useful information for visual perception. It begins with a discussion of how the concept of light has evolved over the course of human history. It then considers a wide variety of optical phenomena including Lambert's laws of illumination, the effects of microscopic surface structure on patterns of reflection, the bidirectional reflectance distribution function, the refraction of transmitted light, chromatic dispersion, thin film interference, sub-surface scattering, the Fresnel effects, indirect illumination from multiple reflections, caustics, and the structure of the light field.

The corrosion behavior of steels of various grades in sulfuric acid solutions with the addition of nitrogen-containing corrosion inhibitors has been studied. Compounds containing the 1,2,4-triazole moiety effectively protect low-carbon (St3, St20, 08PS), high-strength (70S2KhA), and stainless steels (1Kh18N9T) not only from corrosion but also from the hydrogen penetration into the metals in concentrated sulfuric acid solutions. In some cases, the degree of steel protection from corrosion by these compounds exceeded 99%.

Article Synopsis
- Microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) poses a significant risk in shale gas fields due to hydraulic fracturing fluids, which can foster problematic microbiomes.
- In an experiment, modifications to biocide DBNPA using specific d-amino acids showed enhanced effectiveness in reducing corrosion on X80 carbon steel, achieving significant reductions in weight loss and corrosion current.
- The results suggest that low doses of d-tyrosine can notably boost biocide performance, while insights into biofilm interactions indicate that extracellular electron transfer might be a key factor in the corrosion process.

A fundamental understanding of the oxidation mechanisms of aluminum (Al) alloys is of great importance for its applications in corrosion, catalysis, sensors, etc. In this work, we systematically investigated the first-stage oxidation behaviors of three low-index Al facets with O coverage up to two monolayers (ML) by using density-functional theory (DFT). The large negative adsorption energies indicated favorable oxidation on all three facets.
