What Industries Are Most Affected by Mechanical Degradation?
Mechanical degradation is a concern in various industries, including:
- Petrochemical: Catalysts in refining and chemical synthesis processes are often exposed to high pressures and temperatures. - Automotive: Catalytic converters in vehicles experience constant vibrations and thermal cycling. - Environmental: Catalysts used in air and water purification systems are subjected to varying flow rates and mechanical forces. - Energy: Catalysts in fuel cells and battery systems can be affected by mechanical stresses during operation and cycling.
