Understanding the role of nanoparticles in magnesium (Mg)‐based materials and protective coating provides valuable information to achieve an optimized combination of mechanical and corrosion protection properties of Mg nanocomposites. The present study investigates the effects of SiC nanoparticles on the corrosion behavior and structure of Mg‐SiC composites substrates coated by plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO). Moreover, the influence of different volume fractions of SiCn up to 10% on corrosion behavior and galvanic reactions between Mg matrix and SiC particles was also investigated. The morphology, distribution of the phases, and the microstructure of the coating were characterized by SEM, EDAX, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and XRD. The corrosion resistance of the samples was determined through dynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy tests before and after PEO coating treatment. The results indicate that the Mg nanocomposite with 1 vol% SiCn (M1Sn) coated by PEO coating shows higher corrosion resistance than the samples with a higher percentage of SiCn, as well as the sample without SiCn particles.

To improve the surface properties of Q235 carbon steels, CrFeMoNiTi(WC)x high‐entropy alloy composite coatings were fabricated via selective laser melting. The microstructure, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance of the composite coatings were studied. Spherical or near‐spherical tungsten carbide (WC) particles are dispersively distributed in the coatings, resulting in the appearance of obvious WC and TiW2C phases. And the composite coatings mainly consist of body‐centered cubic (BCC) and face‐centered cubic (FCC). When x ≤ 0.3, the addition of WC enhances the BCC diffraction peak. Microhardness of the composite coatings with WC increases and is much higher than that of the substrate (280.6 HV0.1). The hardness of the CrFeMoNiTi(WC)0.3 (1005.1 HV0.1) is the highest among the composite coatings. The retained WC particles and BCC acted as load bearers during the friction process, which reduces the wear loss of the composite coating. Also, the anodic protection caused by the corrosion‐resistant WC particles and BCC greatly improves the ability of the composite coatings to resist NaCl attack. Hence, CrFeMoNiTi(WC)0.3 exhibited the optimum wear resistance and corrosion resistance.

Conversion layers produced on an industrial scale are typically based on phosphates or chromates and involve toxicological and environmental problematic treatment solutions and waste. Concerning this matter, layered double hydroxide (LDH)‐based conversion layers prepared by the process described in our study offer a promising alternative where the treatment solution comes with no environmental or toxicological concerns. The corrosion protection of Zn–Al–Mg (ZM)‐coated steel by an in situ grown LDH conversion layer is investigated by potentiodynamic polarization measurements, linear polarization resistance determination, neutral salt spray test and mass loss test. An LDH layer formation time as short as 30 s considerably improves the corrosion resistance of ZM‐coated steel in electrochemical testing as well as in industrially relevant corrosion testing under chloride‐containing atmospheres. With prolonged LDH formation times, further improvement in corrosion protection is obtained. The significantly increased corrosion resistance of ZM‐coated steel after the industrially feasible treatment time of 30 s makes LDH‐based conversion layers a promising candidate for novel industrially viable conversion layers, with enhanced corrosion performance and environmentally benign as well as sustainable chemistry.

The corrosion law of X80 steel in silty soils with different contents of sodium chloride and sodium sulfate is studied at different temperatures by using an orthogonal test group of three factors and three levels L9 (34) in conjunction with the results of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, polarization curve, and microscopic images. The steel corrosion rate increases with the silty soil temperature. The presence of SO42− in silty soil inhibits corrosion in X80 steel. The corrosion mechanism involves competition between Cl− and SO42− for adsorption sites: SO42− ions occupy some corrosion pits, and FeS and other corrosion products are generated and adhere to the surface of the corrosion pits, inhibiting further reaction. A range analysis of the fitted electrochemical impedance spectra and polarization curves of X80 steel shows that the temperature has the strongest effect on the corrosion of X80 steel, followed by the Cl− content, whereas the SO42− content has the least effect. The lowest corrosion rate is found for a silty soil Cl− content of 0.3%, a SO42− content of 2.0%, and a temperature of −20°C.

A multipass multilayer weld pad was fabricated on AISI 347 base metal with filler combinations of AISI 321 and AISI 347, to understand the role of Ti addition on metallurgical, corrosion, and passive film characteristics of the AISI 347 weld. Weld layers with Nb content of 0.53 wt.%, 0.47 wt.%, 0.23 wt.% and Ti of 0 wt.%, 0.21 wt.%, 0.33 wt.%, respectively, were extracted from fabricated weld pad. Selected weld metal compositions were subjected to thermal aging at 750°C for 24 h to investigate the influence of varying precipitation induced in these welds. Ti addition in AISI 347 weld showed lower enrichment of C and Cr at dendritic regions resulting in reduced Cr depletion, lower sensitization, enhanced pitting potential, and repassivation ability compared to conventional Nb stabilized AISI 347 weld. Passive film characteristics studied by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy depicted formation of more protective, and dense passive film with higher Cr, Ni, and O concentrations for Ti added AISI 347 weld relative to conventional ones. Therefore, Ti addition via the use of Ti stabilized filler in the Nb stabilized AISI 347 weld proved to be efficient in enhancing its corrosion performance by forming a more protective passive oxide film.

In this study, the corrosion susceptibility of powder‐coated Al6060 alloys with increasing Cu and Zn content is evaluated in a benchmark test. Although higher Cu and Zn limits would enable the industry to increase the use of end‐of‐life scrap and thus produce eco‐friendlier aluminum profiles, such alloys are often disregarded due to concerns of corrosion, especially filiform corrosion. Our results suggest that this concern is ungrounded as long as typical quality specifications for the pretreatment and coating process are followed and the alloy composition is kept within the limits of the European norm AW6060. Furthermore, we point out that the variation of the results due to processing at different coating production lines is larger than the difference between alloys of different Cu and Zn contents.

A combination of scanning microelectrochemical techniques along with the conventional electrochemical approaches is explored to attain insight information on the localized corrosion on the newly developed lean duplex stainless steel (LDSS) alloys. The obtained results from dynamic electrochemical impedance spectroscopic (DEIS) tests explained the beneficial role of different alloying elements on the passive and transpassive regions of the investigated LDSS alloys in a 3.5% NaCl solution. The scanning vibrating electrode technique (SVET) was effective in examining the anodic and cathodic regions on the corroding LDSS, whereas the scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) technique was employed to explore the localized corrosion sites on LDSS in NaCl solution. The acquired SVET results revealed a reduction in the susceptibility of the newly developed alloys to localized corrosion concerning their composition, accounting for the enhanced corrosion resistance. The obtained result from conventional and scanning microelectrochemical techniques obviously revealed the LDSS alloy with the composition of Fe–16Cr–2Ni–2Mn–1Mo exhibited higher localized corrosion resistance in NaCl solution.

The hot corrosion behavior of plasma transferred arc (PTA) welded René 41 in NaCl, NaVO3, Na2SO4, and a salt mixture of 87.5 wt% Na2SO4 + 5 wt% NaCl + 7.5 wt% NaVO3 was investigated at 600°C. The single‐salt experiments were carried out to identify specific corrosion characteristics and to provide insights into and, thus, an understanding of the corresponding corrosion processes. NaVO3 and NaCl showed strong corrosive effects, while Na2SO4 proved less corrosive. Long‐term experiments were carried out to simulate real machine operating conditions. After cyclic studies with repeated changes in temperature, the deep and local corrosive attack became apparent, which is characteristic for low‐temperature hot corrosion.

Mechanical and corrosion behavior of high‐strength, high‐zinc (>7 wt%) containing 7068 aluminum alloy is investigated after employing different retrogression and reaging (RRA) treatments. The effect of preaging conditions on the distribution of copper, zinc, and magnesium, the volume fraction of η′ phase, and the width of precipitate free zones (PFZ) have been investigated. Microstructural and compositional features characterized by scanning electron microscope‐energy dispersive spectroscopy, scanning transmission electron microscope, and differential scanning calorimetry are correlated with hardness and corrosion performance. The localized attack is manifested in the dissolution of second phase precipitates which occurs from selective leaching of magnesium and aluminum. A combination of two opposite effects, that is, the presence of nobler, high‐copper grain boundary precipitates and microgalvanic effect of PFZ along with the distribution of alloying elements, that is, Cu, Zn, and Mg govern the electrochemical behavior of RRA‐treated 7068 alloy. Optimum preaging and RRA conditions are identified for this high‐zinc 7xxx series alloy.
