Abstract The priority task of modern aircraft construction is to ensure the reliability of the operation of structures, which depends both on the quality of execution of technological processes during manufacturing and on the corrosion-mechanical durability of welded joints. This work aims to study the influence of contact duration with a corrosive environment on the mechanical strength of the base metal and welded joints of the Al–Mg–Si–Cu alloy, heat-treated in different modes (artificial aging, quenching followed by artificial aging). Corrosion-mechanical tests were carried out under constant axial tensile stress in 3 % NaCl solution for 14 days, followed by determination of the corrosion rate, ultimate strength, and fractographic analysis of the fracture surface. The results showed that the corrosion resistance of the joints is almost equal to the corrosion resistance of the base metal. It was experimentally confirmed that the ultimate strength of the base metal and welded joints decreased after corrosion exposure in a 3 % NaCl solution. This is caused by the embrittlement of the structure and the formation of corrosion defects in the near-surface zone during contact with a corrosive environment, which led to a change like a fracture from ductile to ductile with brittleness.

Abstract The degradation of materials due to erosion–corrosion occurs on the components that handle particle-laden corrosive slurry. The combined attack of mechanical erosion and corrosion shows increased material loss than the individual action of erosion and corrosion. The synergy accelerates material removal by eroding the corroded surface layer and corroding the surface due to the elimination of the passivating oxide layer by erosion. The synergism of erosion–corrosion is found to be more complex. Further, the coupled effect of mechanical erosion and electrochemical corrosion and the factors influencing erosion–corrosion still needs to be fully investigated. This review aims to provide a general and detailed summary of the interaction between erosion and corrosion of materials for the applications of pump impellers, pipelines for desalination, and oil and gas transportation. Importance is also given to the factors influencing erosion–corrosion, such as erodent particle properties (hardness, size, and shape), slurry properties (particle concentration, pH value, temperature), and flow characteristics (impingement angle, velocity). The various erosion models and the most used apparatus have also been reviewed.

Abstract In this work, a scanning Kelvin probe force microscope was used to in-situ visualize distribution of hydrogen atoms at micro-indentation and metallurgical phases contained in a carbon steel. Topographic profiles and Volta potentials of the steel upon various times of hydrogen-charging were measured. The hydrogen atom distribution at the micro-indentation was analyzed. Results demonstrate that the micro-indentation can serve as a preferential site to accumulate hydrogen atoms. Particularly, the vertex of the indention shows the greatest hydrogen atom enrichment, while the indentation bottom possesses a slightly lower hydrogen atom concentration. More hydrogen atoms accumulate in ferrite than in pearlite in the steel.

Abstract The amperometric biosensor was created using a flat sheet of the Cu-Zn-Al shape memory alloy, with a shiny surface and uniform thickness below 1 mm. The high biocompatibility and a large specific surface area for enzyme loading are evaluated. In vitro biomedical corrosion testing of samples revealed successful immobilization of catalase, which has undergone quasi-reversible electron transfer from the surface and saline solution. A catalase that had been immobilized retained its basic structure and bioactivity and demonstrated a remarkable electrocatalytic response to hydrogen peroxide reduction. The reduction of hydrogen peroxide on the catalase-modified Cu-25.38Zn-3.3Al alloy was investigated using hydrodynamic amperometry in both the absence and presence of l-cysteine and K2[B3O3F4OH] inhibitors. Catalytic reduction currents have increased as a result of the gradual increase in hydrogen peroxide concentration. The study on enzyme activity inhibition has shown a lower corrosion rate of catalase-modified bioalloy than the initial sample because inhibitor ions occupy all sites of the immobilized enzyme.

Abstract The effect of concentration of an organic imidazoline as inhibitor on internal stress corrosion cracking (SCC) behavior of an API X70 pipeline steel exposed to a brine solution was studied. The SCC process using simultaneously the slow strain rate stress test (SSRT) and electrochemical measurements was performed. Fracture surface analysis and secondary cracking were observed through a scanning electron microscopy (SEM). According to SEM fractography and SSRT results, the steel showed high SCC susceptibility with a brittle fracture and several secondary cracks without addition of inhibitor, whereas the addition of inhibitor to brine solution was effective to increase the SCC resistance of steel at concentrations of inhibitor of 50 and 100 ppm. A further addition of concentration of inhibitor had a negative effect on the mechanical properties of the steel. Electrochemical measurements results are in accordance with the SCC susceptibility, indicating that corrosion inhibitor film suppressed the anodic and cathodic reactions increasing the resistance to SCC until concentration of 100 ppm. Further addition of inhibitor aggravated the localized corrosion due to local desorption of inhibitor molecules. The Hilbert–Huang transform (HHT) analysis revealed the contribution of different corrosion process contained in the electrochemical current noise (ECN) signals at several inhibitor concentrations.

Abstract Corrosion of metals is considered a global dilemma that is attracting an increasing number of researchers in the scientific community. One of the fundamental solutions against corrosion is using corrosion inhibitors. Corrosion inhibitors are the substances added to the medium or the metal to inhibit corrosion through different mechanisms, most commonly by the formation of a protective layer on the metal surface. Organic corrosion inhibitors constitute most of the known and used corrosion inhibitors, however, due to the toxicity and cost of synthesis, green replacements are needed. Green nanomaterials corrosion inhibitors provide a green and sustainable solution for corrosion. The low toxicity, availability, and cost-effectiveness of green nanoparticles made them a growing research field. This review article highlights the synthesis, use, and application of green nanomaterials in corrosion inhibition. Moreover, the article provides insight into the different types of green nanomaterials inhibitors and their common characterization techniques.

Abstract Hydrogen transport by blending hydrogen into natural gas transmission pipelines and by pure-hydrogen pipelines is a prospective mode of energy transmission during the transition to renewables. The risk of hydrogen embrittlement (HE) in pipeline steels must first be quantified to ensure safe pipeline operation. This review provides an overview of HE in pipeline steels. Most pipeline steels have reduced ductility when exposed to hydrogen partial pressures of 100 bar and above. Higher-strength pipeline steels (X80 and X100) have been found to undergo HE at ∼50 bar hydrogen. Hydrogen-induced subcritical crack growth in pipeline steels has not been reported in the literature. There are few articles on HE in pipeline welds, with some indications that the weld is more susceptible to HE, and some indications that it is less. The relationship between hydrogen pressure and absorbed hydrogen concentration has not been evaluated. Gaps in knowledge are identified in the conclusions.

Abstract The effect of zinc (Zn) injection on the stress corrosion cracking (SCC) initiation of an Alloy 182 weld metal and a 20% cold-worked (CW) type 316L stainless steel was investigated under simulated light water reactor conditions. Accelerated SCC initiation tests revealed that under both, boiling (BWR) and pressurized water reactor (PWR) conditions without Zn injection, Alloy 182 showed a higher SCC initiation susceptibility compared to the CW 316L stainless steel. With 40 ppb Zn injection, results indicate a tendency towards higher stress thresholds or lower crack densities for SCC initiation in both materials. In other words, Zn water chemistry seems to be able to mitigate SCC initiation. The optimized, Zn-treated oxide film is believed to be responsible for the improved SCC performance. However, no clear mitigation effects were observed when the specimens were pre-exposed to high-temperature water without Zn and then tested with Zn, which is likely related to the relatively short exposure time to the Zn-containing high-temperature water.
