Accuride has introduced Steel Armor, calling it a “ground-breaking advance” in coating technology for commercial vehicle steel wheels. This proprietary new three-phase coating process employs enhanced ...

When liquids stick to steel for long enough, the steel corrodes or becomes contaminated. Unfortunately, however, porous surface coatings that repel liquids also tend to make steel weaker … until now, ...

Not all coatings are created equal when it comes to surface-treated stainless-steel tubing. Many coatings can be subjected to an uneven application, which is true for tubing in particular because of ...

In a collaborative effort to improve the food industry, Dr. Mustafa Akbulut, professor of chemical engineering, and Dr. Luis Cisneros-Zevallos, professor of horticultural science, have developed a two ...

There are many types of coatings that are referred to as hot-dip galvanized. The hot-dip galvanization process necessitates the immersion of steel in molten zinc, which reacts with the steel to create ...

A few extra coats of 'paint' could be all that the steel in a building needs to prevent itself from buckling and failing in a fire. Scientists from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU ...

Germany-based protective coatings innovator Steelpaint GmbH is urging shipowners, shipyards, and port authorities with steel assets to prioritize surface preparation, advising that skimping on this ...

Coatings and mechanical alloying techniques have emerged as pivotal methods for enhancing surface properties of steel substrates. These processes enable the deposition of protective and functional ...

Steel is one of the strongest materials found on earth and is widely used for construction. But on its own, the durability of steel is poor. Galvanizing steel increases its corrosion resistance, ...
