Rodolpho Vaz, PhD student at CPT-Universitat de Barcelona, has actively participated in this investigation of corrosion issues in the petrolchemical sector. (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.surfcoat.2022.128398) Abstract: During the regular operation of a petrochemical plant, the degradation and corrosion of some metallic parts frequently occur. These parts are exposed, from the oil extraction to refining processes, to an environment…
