Coal power, definitively not an option!

Fine-particles containing sulfur oxide originating from coal power stations are related to a significant increase in mortality risks. This is a result of a comphreensive study just published at the Science magazine last month. I think it is now clear that we must act to stop further uses of coal as an energy source! HENNEMAN, … Continue reading Coal power, definitively not an option!

Further improving the corrosion resistance of Al-based alloys for aerospace applications with Cr-free treatments

A great paper and research led by my friend Oscar M. Prada Ramirez recently shows that the corrosion resistance of aerospace grade Al-based alloys can be significantly improved using Ce-nanoparticles in an anodization treatment using tartaric-sulfuric acid environments! The aluminium alloy series 2xxx with its anodic layer filled with Ce nanoparticles! A pathway to reduce … Continue reading Further improving the corrosion resistance of Al-based alloys for aerospace applications with Cr-free treatments
