However, the lack of engagement in safe corrosion risk management can lead to catastrophic results.  One notorious case study for this matter is the Michigan water crisis that befell in Flint, from April 2014 to June 2016. Flint mandataries, who failed to properly address the situation,… - [What are the most common types of corrosion seen in mining?](https://icedragoncorrosion.com/what-are-the-most-common-types-of-corrosion-seen-in-mining/): Corrosion is caused by specific combinations of metals and chemicals coming into contact with each other. It’s essential that we identify these different combinations in our plant and how they could impact operation of assets. Some common themes observed in mining are uniform corrosion, pitting corrosion, under-deposit corrosion and corrosion-enhanced wear. Uniform Corrosion Uniform or general corrosion gets its name from the way that rust spreads out more or less evenly over a metallic surface. This type of corrosion is fortunately usually easy to spot, unless surfaces are in hard-to-inspect locations. How fast this mechanism goes depends on the exposure… - [Exploring the Role of Corrosion Specialists](https://icedragoncorrosion.com/exploring-the-role-of-corrosion-specialists/): Understanding Their Expertise and Importance Corrosion is a natural process that causes materials, especially metals, to deteriorate due to chemical or electrochemical reactions with their environment. This phenomenon can compromise the stability and performance of infrastructure, equipment, and various assets. As a result, corrosion specialists are crucial across numerous industries, from oil and gas to transportation and construction. Let’s explore the role of corrosion specialists, their expertise, and the importance of their work in ensuring safety and prolonging the service life of vital assets. What is a Corrosion Specialist?
