ABSTRACT Mg-based bulk metallic glass (BMG) is a biodegradable metal with significant potential advantages as an implant material. To investigate the effect of Sr addition on the glass-forming ability (GFA) and its effect on the mechanical properties and corrosion behaviours of Mg–Zn–Ca–Cu BMG, a series of Mg66-x Zn29.5Ca4Cu0.5Sr x (x = 0, 0.3, 0.6, and 0.9 at.-%) were synthesised and investigated in this study. Microstructural characterisation, GFA and corrosion resistance measurements were carried out by XRD, DSC, SEM, immersion and electrochemical corrosion tests. The results showed that the addition of Sr improved the GFA and mechanical properties and enhanced and adjustable corrosion performance. In addition, the mechanical and corrosion property analyses showed that the Mg65.7Zn29.5Ca4Cu0.5Sr0.3 alloy exhibited the best mechanical properties and bio-corrosion resistance.

ABSTRACT The applications of magnesium alloys are limited because of their poor corrosion properties. In this study, the corrosion behaviours of Mg–3.4Y–3.6Sm–2.6Zn–0.8Zr alloy in 3.5 wt-% NaCl solution were investigated, the results suggested that the precipitations of rare-earth phase, (Mg, Zn)3(Y, Sm) and Mg12(Y, Sm) Zn, are beneficial to enhance the anti-corrosion of magnesium alloys. The network second phase, (Mg, Zn)3(Y, Sm), may act as an anode. It can form a galvanic couple with the adjacent α-Mg matrix and effectively protect the α-Mg matrix. The existence of the Mg12(Y, Sm) Zn phase makes the distribution of the (Mg, Zn)3(Y, Sm) phase more uniform, which may produce a more uniform electrochemical structure and reduce the galvanic corrosion. Under the dual action of the two second phases, the corrosion performance of Mg–3.4Y–3.6Sm–2.6Zn–0.8Zr alloy was better than that of the standard AZ31B alloy. The corrosion mechanism of the alloy is galvanic corrosion due to the second phase with low potential.

ABSTRACT Severe plastic deformation of 304L stainless steel plate was carried out by friction stirring under an isothermal tool temperature at 825°C. The friction stirred zone showed extensive grain refinement, high fraction of low angle grain boundaries due to dislocation rearrangement, Σ3 and Σ9 special grain boundaries and discrete Fe–Cr–Mn-rich particles. Electrochemical polarisation measurements were done on the base metal (BM) and friction stir welded (FSW) specimens in the neutral and acidified 3.5% NaCl solutions. The BM showed marginally better pitting resistance in the neutral chloride solution than the FSW because of a larger fraction of special grain boundaries, and larger grain size. Whereas in acidified 3.5% NaCl solution, the FSW showed better corrosion resistance than the BM. The surface film of the FSW had a lower impedance and a lower defect concentration than the BM indicating higher diffusivity of point defects in the FSW.

ABSTRACT A set of cast alloys was made by alloying 316L stainless steel powder with 5, 10, and 15 wt-% Mo to study the effects of the Mo content on the microstructures and corrosion behaviours. Sigma phases formed in all alloys and Laves phases co-precipitated in alloys with Mo additions of 10 and 15 wt-%. Alloys with higher Mo concentrations had greater volume fractions of both intermetallic phases, which contained higher Mo but lower Ni levels than the austenite. Potentiodynamic and potentiostatic tests were performed in pH 4 solution containing 10 mM NaCl to provide an aggressive chemical environment. All cast alloys had higher corrosion resistance than 316L SS. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy showed the Mo content had a significant beneficial effect on the electrical properties of the passivating layers under highly oxidising conditions, but only a minor effect under moderately oxidising redox conditions.

ABSTRACT To optimising the corrosion resistance mechanism of hot-rolled steel bar, the effects of different tempering temperatures and high-oxygen-rich oxidation times were studied by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, electrochemical and atmospheric corrosion tests. The thickness of the oxide layer of the rebar could reach 10 μm and rarely corroded after high-oxygen-rich oxidation at 850°C for 1 s, which exhibits superior corrosion resistance. The electrochemical test results showed that the I corr value after 1 s of high-oxygen-rich oxidation at 850°C was about 0.02 mA cm−2, which was 56.4% lower than that of the heated specimen at 685°C (0.045 mA cm−2). The results of Raman spectroscopy showed that the rust layer of the heated specimen at 685°C mainly consisted of α-Fe2O3, γ-FeOOH and α-FeOOH, and the oxidised layer after 1 s of high-oxygen-rich oxidation at 850°C mainly consisted of α-Fe2O3 and Fe3O4, which maintained the original oxidised layer morphology.

ABSTRACT The electrochemical behaviour of titanium dissolution and passivation in HCl was examined with and without the SCN− anions using potentiodynamic polarisation, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and current transients techniques. The nature of the Ti oxide film was characterised by utilising XPS and SEM tools. The corrosion current i corr, the critical passivation current i cc, and the passive current i pass values increased significantly when the HCl concentration, scan rate, and temperature were raised. On the contrary, the addition of SCN− anions decreases the i corr value, indicating that the Ti dissolution was inhibited as a result of SCN− adsorption on the Ti surface. The inhibition efficiency increased with increasing the concentration of SCN−. However, SCN− anions lead to destabilised passivity in the passive zone. The formation of the Ti oxide film is a diffusion-controlled operation, as shown by the i–t curves. According to the XPS measurements, the passive oxide coating consists mainly of TiO2 and less of Ti2O3.

ABSTRACT With the many advantages of instantaneous off measurement, the polarisation coupon has become increasingly popular in the true polarisation potential reading of different cathodic protection systems. As a general rule, polarisation coupons are installed close to the reference electrode to reduce the error in potential measurement. As a result, the error in the potential reading for close coupons is low. Still, the mentioned error has not been quantified due to the coupon's geometry, direction and non-linear polarisation behaviour complexity. In the present work, the IR-Drop error as a function of current density is extracted with generic calculation and simple assumptions, and the results are checked with three possible coupon-reference electrode arrangements. The proposed calculation could be used to extract the intrinsic error of polarisation coupons, regardless of their arrangement and coupon size. Moreover, it could be used to correct the measured potential and extract the true structure-to-soil potential.

ABSTRACT The effect of nitrogen on the pitting process is investigated using the electrochemical noise (EN) approach in 0.01 M FeCl3 for 24 h at a sampling frequency of 1 Hz. The EN signals were investigated using wavelet analysis on four alloys of 316L SS containing varying quantities of nitrogen (0.07, 0.12, 0.14 and 0.22 wt-% nitrogen). Using an energy distribution (ED) and standard deviation of partial signal (SDPS) plot, the primary corrosion process in various nitrogen-containing 316L SS was found. The ED plot showed that as the nitrogen percentage in the alloy increased, the energy of the low-frequency signal decreased, indicating that long-time transients were suppressed. The SDPS figure revealed a drop in pit density as nitrogen levels increased. For specimens containing 0.07, 0.11, 0.14 and 0.22 wt-% nitrogen, the pit density was determined to be 439 ± 8, 383 ± 6, 212 ± 6 and 108 ± 4 pits mm−2, respectively.

ABSTRACT Surface treatments of primary circuit components in light water reactors are regarded as possible ways to mitigate environmentally-assisted cracking (EAC). To date, it is not fully conclusive which surface condition is suitable to reduce the EAC initiation susceptibility. Constant extension rate tensile (CERT) tests were performed by several labs using flat tapered tensile specimens with different surface conditions (ground, industrial face milled, advanced face milled and shot peened), exposed to a boiling water reactor normal water chemistry environment at 288°C. Despite some scatter in the results, the CERT tests revealed that the EAC initiation susceptibility seems lowest for the advanced face milled surface and highest for the shot peened surface. However, it must be emphasised that the differences were moderate and that the surprising behaviour of the shot peened surface can be explained. The mechanical grinding of the surface did not significantly retard EAC initiation compared to industrial face milling.

The mechanical grinding of the surface did not significantly retard EAC initiation compared to industrial face milling.","PeriodicalId":10711,"journal":{"name":"Corrosion Engineering, Science and Technology","volume":"57 1","pages":"474 - 485"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48526027","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
