Development of Investigations in the Field of Corrosion and Stress-Corrosion Fracture of Metals and the Methods of Their Protection (A Survey)

  • Published:
Materials Science Aims and scope

We present a brief survey of the main investigations of different aspects of the problems of corrosion and stress corrosion fracture of metals carried out, first of all, at the Karpenko Physicomechanical Institute of the Ukrainian National Academy of Sciences. In particular, we describe the main regularities and mechanisms of corrosion cracking, corrosion fatigue, and fretting-corrosion of metals depending on their structure and conditions of interaction with corrosive media. We also present the results of testing of the inhibitor protection of metals and the development of metallic and nonmetallic protective coatings, etc.
