Exploration into the latest research and developments in material corrosion resistance and related technologies Steel Corrosion and Metallurgical Factors: Laws and Mechanisms offers an in-depth exploration of the latest research on modulating metallurgical factors in various types of steel materials to enhance their corrosion resistance. The book covers a diverse range of materials, including low-alloy steels, stainless steels, ductile iron, rebar, and pipeline steel, and outlines the application of corrosion big data technology and artificial intelligence in the revealing of material corrosion mechanisms. The book discusses how typical metallurgical factors such as inclusion control, alloying control, and heat treatment control influence the corrosion resistance of stainless or low alloy steels and provides theoretical guidance for corrosion-resistant steel smelting technologies (e.g., inclusions regulation, alloy modulation, and rolling processes) by investigating the laws and mechanisms underlying the influence of various metallurgical factors on the corrosion resistance of steel. Steel Corrosion and Metallurgical Factors includes information on: Micro- chemical-electrochemical theory of corrosion initiation induced by various typical types of inclusions in stainless and low alloy steelsInfluence of elements such as Ca, Sb, Cu, and Cr on the resistance of low-alloy steels to microbial and marine atmospheric corrosionCoupled mechanism of microstructure and inclusions in corrosion initiation in steelBehavior and mechanism of stress corrosion and hydrogen-induced stress corrosion of pipeline steel induced by environmental and metallurgical factorsEffects of rare earth and chromium elements on the corrosion resistance of HRB400 rebar in concrete environmentsMetallurgical defects on ductile iron corrosion mechanisms and corrosion big data-artificial intelligence techniques in revealing factors influencing material corrosionSteel Corrosion and Metallurgical Factors strongly supports metallurgical and materials researchers and engineers in developing new corrosion-resistant steels.

Bridges corrosion science and artificial intelligence to advance durable, high-performance marine steels Understanding and controlling the corrosion of steels in marine environments is a critical challenge for modern engineering, with far-reaching implications for safety, durability, and sustainability. Marine corrosion not only threatens the integrity of infrastructure such as bridges, offshore platforms, and railways but also leads to significant economic losses and environmental risks. Marine Corrosion of Steels:Mechanisms and AI-Driven Solutions provides a comprehensive exploration of the mechanistic processes underlying steel degradation and introduces innovative, data-driven approaches to improve corrosion resistance. Offering valuable insights into stress corrosion cracking, fatigue, and general degradation mechanisms in harsh marine conditions, the book systematically investigates corrosion behavior across a range of engineering steels, including high-manganese steel, titanium-steel composites, low-alloy rebar, and ductile iron. Beyond mechanistic analysis, dedicated chapters highlight pioneering applications of big data and artificial intelligence, such as predictive modeling, image recognition for pit analysis, and IoT-enabled real-time monitoring. These AI-driven approaches enable researchers and engineers to accelerate alloy design, optimize material selection, and implement proactive maintenance strategies.
