Enhancing concrete’s resilience against freeze–thaw (F-T) cycles is a critical challenge in civil engineering, especially in cold climates, where repeated freezing and thawing lead to structural degradation. This review explores the effectiveness of various additives, including supplemen
The corrosion characteristics and passive behavior of as-cast Ni40Fe30Co20Al10 medium-entropy alloy (MEA) fabricated by the vacuum arc melting technique were investigated in 3.5 wt.% NaCl, 0.5 M HCl, and 0.5 M H2SO4 solutions. Although the impact of different solutions on the corrosion current densi
