Overcoming tribocorrosion in marine metals

A joint research team at the Korea Institute of Materials Science (KIMS) has successfully developed Korea's first high corrosion- and wear-resistant carbon coating technology to mitigate the severe corrosion and wear issues associated with ammonia fuel. This technology is expected to serve as a key enabling platform for accelerating the commercialization of eco-friendly ammonia-powered ships. The paper is published in the journal Carbon.
