A mini review on coated pipes: Materials, manufacturing and anti-corrosion protection

Pipelines are ubiquitous engineering structures used to transport fluid substances. To increase the durability and lifespan of pipes, engineers often coat chemically inactive materials onto the inner and/or outer surfaces of pipes, resulting in coated pipes. This article offers a review of research on coated pipes with a focus on their material selections, manufacturing methods, failure mechanisms and protection approaches. The information provided in this review article will be of great value to researchers and engineers dedicated to the design and manufacturing of coated pipes and their applications.
