Quaker Chemical Uses SEM/EDS Technology to Understand Corrosion Phenomena

Corrosion protection provided by metalworking fluids remains a top concern during the manufacturing of tubular goods. Since pipe products are vulnerable to multiple conditions that can lead to oxidation, corrosion can unknowingly occur in production or during storage. As a consequence, the pipe producer is at risk for significant financial losses in non-conforming products, scrap, and/or rework costs.
