Electrochemical Evaluation of Corrosion Behavior in Industrial Alloys Under Acidic and Marine Conditions
Abstract: Corrosion represents a spontaneous physicochemical transformation in which metals revert to their more stable thermodynamic state, typically oxides, hydroxides, or sulfides, as a result of interaction with environmental elements. Rather than being a simple surface reaction, corrosion is a complex electrochemical phenomenon that significantly influences the durability, reliability, and performance of metallic structures across industrial, marine, and domestic sectors. The consequences extend beyond material degradation, contributing to substantial economic losses, …

Image-Based Crack Morphology Characterisation for Electrical Failure Analysis in Conductive Polymer Composites
Abstract: Electrical performance in conductive polymer composites is strongly governed by crack-network evolution, yet failure analysis typically relies on qualitative image inspection or electrical anomaly detection in isolation. This work proposes an end-to-end framework that converts optical/SEM crack imagery into a standardised crack morphology signature and quantitatively links it to electrical degradation indicators. A two-stage learning strategy is adopted: crack-representation pretraining using the public Concrete Crack Images for Classification dataset, followed …
