Rare earth (RE) doped casing steel subjected to a modified tempering treatment exhibited enhancement of strength and sulfide stress cracking (SSC) resistance. A double-cantilever beam method (in term of critical stress intensity factor: KISSC), was used to evaluate SSC susceptibility, where specimens were stressed and immersed in acidic solution containing H2S to simulate the real operating condition. Microstructural evolution and multiscale fractographic analyses were performed, the RE doped sample tempered at 710 °C achieved a higher yield strength of 794 MPa and a mean KISSC of 35.9 MPa∙m0.5, attributed to establishment of uniform tempered martensite structure with low dislocation density.

By studying several NiCoCr-based equiatomic medium-/high-entropy alloys (M/HEAs) with single face-centered cubic structures, in this work, we systematically investigated the key factors affecting the hydrogen embrittlement (HE) of these alloys, with particular emphasis on the deformation mechanism, hydrogen adsorption, hydrogen diffusion, and grain boundary chemistry. The FeNiCoCr HEA was significantly less susceptible to HE than the other alloys due to its lowest hydrogen concentration and the presence of Cr segregation. Mn alloying not only deteriorated the HE resistance but also greatly reduced the passivation film resistance in acidic media and chloride solutions.

The influence of humic acid-mediated extracellular electron transfer (EET) of Shewanella putrefaciens CN32 in microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) on 304 stainless steel was investigated. Humic acid plays a key role in accelerating passive film degradation in the presence of S. putrefaciens CN32, with a concentration-dependent effect; but has no effect when alone. It facilitated the formation of larger biofilm and increased Fe and Cr dissolution, resulting in a thinner, weakened passive film and intensified pitting corrosion. In-situ scanning electrochemical microscopy demonstrated S. putrefaciens CN32 utilized humic acid to perform outward EET, injecting electrons into the passive film and accelerating MIC.

This study employed the laser in-situ post-weld heat treatment process to achieve in-situ precipitation of carbides (IPC) in the hydrogen embrittlement (HE) sensitive zone of QP980 steels laser welded joints. In the original joint with hydrogen pre-charging, cleavage fracture occurred at the inter-critical heat affected zone (ICHAZ). The IPC process only caused carbides to precipitate in martensite of the ICHAZ. The IPC joint with hydrogen pre-charging (5 min) exhibited ductile fracture at the base material during the slow strain rate tensile test, and the total elongation HE sensitivity of the joint was reduced from 84.6 % to 13.7 %.

This study investigates the influence of the reverse martensitic transformation on the corrosion behavior of 2304 lean duplex stainless steel (LDSS) at low temperatures (400–600°C). The steel underwent cold rolling, followed by isochronal annealing for 0.5 h. Phase transformations and microstructures were analyzed using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. Corrosion resistance was evaluated using a syringe cell with cyclic potentiodynamic polarization in 0.6 M NaCl solution and double-loop electrochemical potentiokinetic reactivation in 0.5 M H2SO4 + 0.001 M KSCN solution. A bimodal breakdown potential behavior, associated with either pitting or transpassivity, was observed in the as-received (AR) and samples annealed at 400°C. Pitting in the AR sample was associated with Al–Mg–Si–Ca–O inclusions, while pitting on the samples annealed at 400°C was linked to local reduced passive film resistance. Severe cold rolling enhanced the pitting resistance of 2304 LDSS. Selective electrochemical etching revealed preferential corrosion at phase interfaces and within the austenite phase. Additionally, annealing at 500°C to 600°C led to a marked decrease in pitting resistance and increased sensitization. Electron backscatter diffraction analysis of the corroded pits in the annealed specimens indicated that pits tend to nucleate and grow in α′-martensite/austenite regions. The nanostructure formed during low-temperature reversion, characterized by dislocation-cell martensite with high dislocation density and stacking faults, may adversely affect corrosion resistance due to heterogeneities associated with alloying element redistribution.

A micro/nano-bilayer self-healing coating on Mg-2Zn alloy, designated as PEO-LDH-P, was composed of plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) layer as a physical barrier, Mg-Mn layered double hydroxide as a corrosion inhibitor container, and phosphate ion as a corrosion inhibitor. Nano-scale LDH was prepared on PEO-coated Mg alloy through reactions in MnCl2 and Mg(NO3)2 solutions, successively. The phosphate ions were not only loaded into LDH interlamination but also formed as micro-sheet MgHPO4 after soaking in Na2HPO4 solution. During Mg corrosion, phosphate ions were released from both LDH intercalation by anion exchange and MgHPO4 due to pH increase, endowing PEO-LDH-P coating with self-healing function.

The corrosion resistance of stainless steels exposed to humid environment is closely related to the surface oxide film. To date, the formation process and its correlation with the alloy defects are still unclear. The present study, using in-situ atomic-scale TEM characterization, reveals the growth process of oxide film on a fresh steel surface. The oxide formation involves the oxygen adsorption, the inward diffusion into alloy lattice, and the outward expansion of stable oxide film. The metal-oxide solid transformation is found to be promoted by the lattice strain of the alloy. The atomic structures of the oxides are imaged and analyzed.

The discovery of synergistic strategies effectively improves the corrosion inhibition capability of amino acids. However, the wide variety of amino acid formulations and the time-consuming nature of corrosion tests make combinatorial discovery challenging to achieve. Herein, a library of 70 amino acids was created and tested in a high-throughput manner. Benefiting from a vast amount of labeled data of amino acid formulations, an interpretable machine learning approach was used to reveal the contribution of molecular features to inhibition performance of amino acids and the synergisms in the optimal formulation. The synergism was verified by electrochemical tests and quantum chemical calculations.
