TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a review of literature which covers aspects of pitting corrosion observed in metallic materials, focussing on events associated with nucleation of pits, i.e. passivity breakdown, initiation of pits and their propagation stage.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare and contrast the mechanisms of environmental degradation of glass, crystalline ceramics, and metals, with the goal of identifying commonalities that can seed synergistic activities and advance the current knowledge in each area.
Abstract: All materials can suffer from environmental degradation; the rate and extent of degradation depend on the details of the material composition and structure as well as the environment. The corrosion of silicate glasses, crystalline ceramics, and metals, particularly as related to nuclear waste forms, has received a lot of attention. The corrosion phenomena and mechanisms of these materials are different, but also have many similarities. This review compares and contrasts the mechanisms of environmental degradation of glass, crystalline ceramics, and metals, with the goal of identifying commonalities that can seed synergistic activities and advance the current knowledge in each area.

TL;DR: In this article, a predictive model for pitting corrosion in buried pipelines is proposed, which takes into consideration the chemical and physical properties of the soil and pipe to predict the time dependence of pitting depth and rate.
Abstract: A predictive model for pitting corrosion in buried pipelines is proposed. The model takes into consideration the chemical and physical properties of the soil and pipe to predict the time dependence of pitting depth and rate. Maximum pit depths were collected together with soil and pipe data at more than 250 excavation sites over a three-year period. The time dependence of the maximum pit depth was modeled as dmax = κ(t − t0)ν, where t is the exposure time, t0 is the pit initiation time, and κ and ν are the pitting proportionality and exponent parameters, respectively. A multivariate regression analysis was conducted with dmax as the dependent variable and the pipeline age, and the soil and pipe properties as the independent variables. The dependence of κ and ν on the predictor variables was found for the three soil textural classes identified in this study: clay, clay loam, and sandy clay loam. The proportionality parameter κ was found to be primarily influenced by the redox potential, pH value, ...
