Using polarization curve scanning, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, macroscopic morphology observation, scanning electron microscope, X‐ray diffraction (XRD), and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), the corrosion regulars of connectors were investigated. A galvanic corrosion simulation model of aluminum‐titanium rivets was established by electrochemical experimental parameters as boundary conditions. The results showed that the galvanic couple connection accelerated the corrosion significantly. XRD and EDS results show that the main corrosion products are Al2O3, Al(OH)3.

The hot dip aluminized ASTM 1035 steels (Al‐coated steel) underwent anodic oxidization, and various thicknesses of Al2O3 coating were applied to the surface of the Al‐coated steels (Al–Al2O3‐coated steel). The corrosion resistance of the Al–Al2O3‐coated steel was investigated using potentiodynamic tests, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy tests and measurement of galvanic current density in a bimetallic cell. It was found that the anodic oxidation resulted in the formation of a porous Al2O3 coating on the surface of the Al‐coated steel, improving both its corrosion resistance and galvanic corrosion resistance when coupled with carbon fiber reinforced nylon 6 composite (Cf/PA6). Silane treatment effectively sealed the pores within the Al2O3 coating, resulting in improved corrosion protection for Al–Al2O3‐coated steel due to the exceptional insulation, impermeability and hydrophobic properties of silane coating. Compared to the Al‐coated steel/carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) couple and Al–Al2O3‐coated steel/CFRP couple, stable galvanic current density decreased by approximately 75% and 45%, respectively.

Novel sacrificial zinc‐rich organic coatings, with varying additions of aluminium, were prepared and tested for anticorrosion performance. Electrochemical measurements (potential vs. time and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy) were carried out to investigate cathodic protection and barrier performance while neutral salt spray and immersion experiments tested long‐term performance. Analytical scanning electron microscopy and X‐ray diffraction were used to characterize coatings before and after testing. Formulations containing aluminium significantly outperformed the standard 100% zinc‐rich coating with the greatest improvement occurring at 10%–15% aluminium by volume in the dry film. This improvement was caused by the dispersal of aluminium between zinc particles, which improved packing and enabled greater efficiency in zinc consumption resulting in extended galvanic protection times for steel substrates. The expected zinc corrosion product (basic zinc chloride, simonkolleite) was present within the coating as well as a Zn–Al layered doubled hydroxide. The latter's presence demonstrates that dissolution of aluminium contributed to the longevity of the galvanic action. The new Zn–Al formulations are extremely promising alternatives to standard zinc‐rich epoxy coatings, significantly reducing zinc loading and increasing the sacrificial lifetime.
制备并测试了不同铝添加量的新型牺牲性富锌有机涂层的防腐性能。电化学测量(电位与时间的关系和电化学阻抗光谱)用于研究阴极保护和阻挡性能,而中性盐雾和浸泡实验则用于测试长期性能。分析扫描电子显微镜和 X 射线衍射被用来描述测试前后涂层的特征。含铝配方的性能明显优于标准的 100% 富锌涂层,干膜中铝的体积分数为 10%-15%时,性能改善最大。这种改进是由于铝分散在锌颗粒之间,从而改善了填料,提高了锌的消耗效率,延长了钢基材的电化学保护时间。涂层中出现了预期的锌腐蚀产物(碱式氯化锌,simonkolleite)以及锌铝层状双氢氧化物。后者的存在表明,铝的溶解有助于延长电化学作用的寿命。新型锌-铝配方是标准富锌环氧涂层的极有前途的替代品,可显著降低锌负荷并延长牺牲寿命。

Mechanical grinding creates mechanical as well as thermal stress in treated material and the so‐called Beilby layer is formed. The present work investigates the influence of abrasive coarse grain size on the thickness and electrochemical behavior of the native oxide layer formed after the grinding process by using cyclovoltammetry. The difference in the native oxide layer thickness amounts to Δd ≈ 0.5 nm under the surface conditions investigated. Additionally, an experimental design is introduced and tested, which allows the operando measuring of the temperature of the material during the grinding process. Estimates result in a thermal stress Δσ between 0.8 and 1.3 MPa depending on the chosen grinding parameters and influence the subsequently formed oxide layer thickness.

This work focused on evaluating the evolution of the corrosion product layer and associated corrosion rates on archeological artifacts from 16 sites. Sites with clay soils and maximum waterlogging (pond bottoms and wetlands) were monitored. The corrosion products were evaluated by X‐ray imaging, X‐ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller, and nanoindentation. Two stages of corrosion attack with slightly different mechanisms were observed. Corrosion rates observed at sites with continuous flooding show average corrosion rates of 0.4–1 μm.a−1. These values demonstrate a minimum service life of the container outer case of 15 × 103 years, which is several times longer than the required lifetime of the outer case.

Bolted flanged joints play a critical role in offshore wind turbine tower structures, serving as integral components that connect various sections of the tower. This research study employs electrochemical techniques to investigate the effect of gap dimensions, which determine the crevice gap thickness and crevice depth, on corrosion behavior of 321 stainless steel flange sample plates in a 3.5 wt% NaCl solution at 50°C. Gaskets are used in this study to create gaps between two flange surfaces. A novel fixture is utilized to simulate the applied stress on the gasket, fluid flow within the fixture, and the geometric aspects of the gasket and flange. The findings reveal that increasing the gap thickness from 1.58 to 6.35 mm results in a rise in the general corrosion rate of the flange surface from 0.09 to 1.03 mm y−1, and crevice corrosion initiation time increases from 0.23 to 3.12 h. Furthermore, reducing the crevice depth (d) from 7.49 to 0 mm leads to a decrease in the general corrosion rate from 0.09 mm y−1 to 0.04 µm y−1, and cases with d = 3.81 and d = 0 mm show no observable crevice corrosion after potentiostatic tests.

Cathodic protection of various 6000 aluminium alloys and variants of EN AW‐5083 in seawater has been studied. The alloys were immersed in seawater and polarized to about −1.06 V versus Ag/AgCl for 1 year. The cathodic current density increased initially due to formation of a copper film on the surface, but the effect was temporary. After 200 days, the current demand for cathodic protection had stabilized on all the investigated alloys at 0 to about 20 mA/m2, depending on the Fe/Si ratio in the alloy. Depending on the content of noble intermetallic particles, the aluminium will corrode at a low and constant rate. Application of a coating on the aluminium will decrease the cathodic current demand for cathodic protection significantly. Coatings on submerged aluminium are very stable and not susceptible to degradation mechanisms like cathodic disbonding.

Physical infrastructure in coastal and offshore locations often is constructed from mild and low alloy steels. These are prone to marine corrosion even with the application of protective coatings and cathodic protection. Particularly for high‐value assets such as energy facilities (wind farms, oil and gas production and subsea pipelines), the prediction of their safe and economic life is of much interest. Herein, a review is given of the modern development of models for the prediction of long‐term marine corrosion of steel exposed to various marine environments. These include immersion, tidal, splash and atmospheric zones and contact with sands and soils. The effects of temperature and water pollution are especially important, as is the ability of the steels or irons to form protective corrosion products. Comments are made also about other alloys such as copper‐nickels and aluminium. All show that corrosion, including pitting corrosion, develops with increased exposure time in a bimodal manner. The reasons for such behaviour are considered, together with the practical implications, important for containment structures such as pipelines, tanks and floating offshore energy platforms.

The application of multilayer organic protective coating systems with conventional liquid spray methods is complex, time‐ and energy‐consuming, and it requires extensive technical equipment. An alternative to these methods is the application of thin, self‐adherent foil systems directly to the steel substrate. The corrosion protection performance of newly developed foil systems was tested for various combinations of foil materials and pressure‐sensitive adhesives (with and without corrosion inhibitors) and different surface preparation parameters by means of accelerated cyclic laboratory tests with simulated offshore conditions. The adhesion properties were determined by means of peel tests. The tests were designed, by means of statistical methods (design of experiments, analysis of variance). A foil system with the following factor combination was found to provide an optimum performance: Surface preparation grade: Sa 2½; roughness: Rz = 50–75 µm; abrasive material: high‐carbon steel grit; adhesive layer thickness: 200 g/m2; inhibitor material: calcium aluminum polyphosphate silicate hydrate; foil material: polyvinylchloride (160 µm) + poly(methyl methacrylate) (40 µm).
