Abstract Aluminum alloy AA1100 has less wear resistance and mechanical properties than that of other aluminum alloys. This research work is on the fabrication of surface composites of AA1100 alloy by friction stir processing (FSP). The surface composites are fabricated by reinforcing hBN (hexagonal Boron Nitride) in AA1100 alloy to improve the mechanical and tribological properties. The influence of process parameters, rotational speed (rpm), and transverse speed (mm/min) on the microstructural evolution and properties of the fabricated surface composites is investigated.

Abstract Low pressure superheated H2-steam appears to be an interesting alternative to pressurized water environments, since it is capable of performing accelerated environmentally assisted cracking (EAC) experiments for nickel base and stainless steel alloys. Constant Extension Rate Tensile (CERT) tests were performed with displacement rates of 2×10-6 or 2×10-8 ms-1 at 350, 400, 440 and 480 °C on flat tapered specimens of Type 316L austenitic stainless steel. The tapered shape allows the determination of crack initiation over a range of stresses and strains simultaneously on one specimen and therefore the threshold stress value was obtained. The environment was 6 times more oxidizing than the dissociation pressure of NiO. The acquired mechanical properties are summarized and threshold stresses for EAC crack initiation are evaluated.

Abstract In this study, two different mathematical models have been proposed for estimating the diffusivities of boron in the Fe2B layer on ASTM A36 steel in the range of 1173 to 1273 K with exposure times of 2 to 8 h. The boride incubation period required for the formation of such a layer was constant regardless of the boriding conditions. In both approaches, the boron diffusivity in the iron phase was considered in an unsaturated matrix. The first approach was derived from the mass balance equation at the (Fe2B/substrate) interface while the second approach employed the integral diffusion model. The calculated values of boron activation energies for ASTM A36 steel were found to be very comparable for the two approaches (161.65 and 160.96 and kJ mol-1). Afterwards, these values of activation energy were confronted with the results from the literature. Experimental validation of these two approaches has been done by comparing the experimental value of Fe2B layer thickness measured at 1123 K for 2.5 h with the simulated values. Finally, the predicted values of Fe2B layer thickness were in line with the experimental measurement.

Abstract This work deals with behaviour of steel in liquid lead environment and possibilities of corrosion resistance improvement. Liquid metal cooled systems are under wide investigation and development and represent a good alternative. It is necessary to find materials, which would be affected by liquid lead minimally. Austenitic steel 316L without coating and coated with TiSiC was studied in flowing liquid lead. Conditions of the experiment simulated real environment of the system. Deposition of protective barrier reduced the metals dissolution and diffusion of liquid lead into the steel substrate, degradation of substrate due to high temperature and mechanical stress. Presence of Si in the layer increased the surface ability to form stabile oxide and contribute to steel´s protection.

Abstract The corrosion inhibition efficiency of the novel pyridine namely, 4-(Benzoimidazole-2-yl)pyridine has been studied for mild steel in a 1 M hydrochloric acid environment by utilizing gravimetrical techniques. The synthesized inhibitor exhibits a significant inhibitive efficiency of 93.8% at 0.005 M. The adsorption isotherm of the investigated inhibitor on mild steel surface obeys the Langmuir isotherm. Surface morphology investigated by utilizing scanning electron microscopy (SEM) demonstrates a smooth metal surface with the addition of 4-(Benzoimidazole-2-yl)pyridine in a hydrochloric acid environment. Quantum chemical calculations using density functional theory (DFT) have been used to investigate the molecular structure and behavior of 4-(Benzoimidazole-2-yl) pyridine as a corrosion inhibitor. Different parameters have been calculated using DFT, such as energies of highest occupied molecular orbital and lowest occupied molecular orbital (EHOMO and ELUMO), energy gap (∆E), and dipole moment (μ). These parameters were important to elucidate the behavior of the investigated molecule as a corrosion inhibitor in acidic solution and also suggest the mechanism of inhibition.

Abstract The Brayton cycle with supercritical carbon dioxide is considered as an innovative technology with the potential to replace conventional steam cycles. The optimization of the supercritical CO2 cycle (sCO2) is necessary and important to achieve the required thermal cycle parameters. The above optimization focuses on the setting of the energy cycle as such, the design solution of the individual components and, the last but not least, on the selection of suitable construction materials. Due to the operating conditions, namely temperatures exceeding 550 °C and pressure up to 25 MPa, material research is one of the important areas of the research and development of sCO2 energy cycles. Construction materials for sCO2 power cycle equipment include HR6W, T92 and Haynes HR235 alloys. This work presents results of the corrosion test, in which samples of these materials were exposed to sCO2 at 550 °C and 25 MPa for 1000 hours. Corrosion after exposure was examined using a light optical microscope (LOM) and a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The significant differences in corrosion attack between the investigated materials and the formation of a protective oxide layer on the surface were observed.

Abstract A typical green layer of patina starts to cover copper in atmosphere condition, which is aesthetically acceptable and also provides protective properties. This work investigates stability of the artificial patina layer based on sulphates prepared from a gaseous phase during two-year exposure in atmosphere condition. XRD and SEM were employed to verify the composition and morphology of artificial patina. Colour and patina coverage were compared before and after exposure also. According to results after 1 and 2 years of exposure, it is possible to see changing of hydroxyl sulphates to more stable brochantite and filling pores in the patina layer. There is almost no colour change, however lower patina coverage is slightly evident due to precipitation and abrasive effect.
