corrosion

Water had been dripping from various pipes since 2022 causing corrosion within the hot water system and damage to walls and floors.

Before the fire, the cathedral was already deemed to be in a state of severe disrepair, and scaffolding was in place to renovate the spire and other external parts much damaged by corrosion.

Researchers explored protective coatings to resist corrosion in fusion reactors.

Surfaces play a key role in numerous chemical reactions, including catalysis and corrosion.

“We have to explore new materials and more corrosion resistant alloys,” says Sigrun Nanna Karlsdottir, a professor of industrial and mechanical engineering at the University of Iceland.
