Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Coatings is going to reach a remarkable milestone by publishing its 10th volume and, in celebration of this special occasion, we have taken the initiative to launch a Special Issue called "10th Anniversary of Coatings: Invited Papers in Corrosion, Wear and Erosion Section ".

In 2016, Coatings was accepted for indexing by Science Citation Index Expanded—Web of Science, and we received our first impact factor (2.175) for Coatings in 2017. The Impact Factor of Coatings increased to 2.436 for the year 2019, and it was included in Scopus and ranked 59/120 (Q2 in SJR) in ‘’Materials Science: Surfaces, Coatings and Films’’ in 2020. We have also reduced the manuscript turnaround time; presently, the median publication time is only 33 days.

Among all sections of Coatings, the ‘’Corrosion, Wear and Erosion’’ section is doing extremely well, having published 142 articles and 29 Special Issues since its inception in January 2020. On this occasion, we would like to thank our all Editorial Board Members, Managing Editors, Reviewers, and Authors for their great contributions and continuous support.

An FeCoCrAlCu HEA coating was prepared on the surface of 45# steel by cold-spray-assisted induction remelting. The results showed that the FeCoCrAlCu HEA coating was composed of BCC and FCC phases. The BCC phase possessed an amplitude-modulated structure consisting of a B1-disordered phase (FeCr) and a B2-ordered phase (AlCo), as well as a nanoscale BCC phase precipitated near grain boundaries. The FCC phase was composed of a solid solution of the Al–Cu matrix and manifested characteristics of a typical twin structure. In addition, the hardness of the FeCoCrAlCu HEA coating was 528.2 HV. The friction coefficient of the FeCoCrAlCu HEA-/Al2O3 pair was 0.379, and the wear rate was 3.96 × 10−5 mm3/(N × m). In 3.5 wt.%NaCl and 5.0 wt.%H2SO4 corrosive media, the FeCoCrAlCu HEA coating had a more positive self-corrosion potential (Ecorr) and a lower corrosion current density (Icorr) than the substrate.

Nickel–titanium orthodontic wires (NTWs) play an essential role in orthodontic treatment. However, their corrosion and aesthetic properties limit their applications. To improve the aesthetic effects of nickel–titanium orthodontic archwires, we prepared aluminium–silicon dioxide (Al–SiO2) as a biocompatible layer coated onto the NTWs. The Al–SiO2 coating was first fabricated using physical vapor deposition magnetron sputtering, and its physicochemical and biocompatibility properties were investigated. Al–SiO2 layers were well coated on the NTWs. The corrosion currents in the nickel–titanium (NiTi) control, Al–SiO2-coated NiTi experimental, stainless steel (SS) control and Al–SiO2-coated SS experimental groups were 23.72 μA cm−2, 1.21 μA cm−2, 0.22 μA cm−2 and 0.06 μA cm−2, respectively. Al–SiO2-coated NTWs with reduced corrosion current density indicated that the preparation of Al–SiO2 coating on the surface of NiTi and SS could reduce the tendency of electrochemical corrosion. The friction coefficients of orthodontic wires in the NiTi control, NiTi experimental, SS control, and SS experimental groups were 0.68, 0.46, 0.58 and 0.45, respectively. A low friction coefficient was observed in the Al–SiO2-coated NTWs, and the reduced friction coefficient improved the efficiency of orthodontics. Furthermore, the excellent biocompatibility of the NTWs and SS coated with Al–SiO2 indicates that Al–SiO2 as a novel aesthetic layer could improve the physicochemical properties of NTW and SS without causing cytotoxicity, which has considerable potential for modification of NTW and SS surfaces.

We compared two modes of magnetron sputter deposition of MoS2 on substrates made of steel AISI 316L and bronze CuAl9NiFe4Mn1 with different initial roughness Ra 0.05–2.32 µm. The deposition was carried out at a bias voltage of −20 and +100 V, and the deposition rate of these modes differed by 30%. Measurements of the friction coefficient and lifetime tests were made in accordance with ASTM G133. Measurements of the friction coefficient and lifetime tests in vacuum at load 7H, temperature of samples 250 °C, and pressure in the chamber <10−6 Pa were carried out according to ASTM G133. The adhesive strength, the chemical composition of the coatings before and after tribological tests, the degree of crystallinity of the coatings, and the distance between the planes were evaluated. Mechanical and structural properties of coatings are discussed concerning the deposition mode parameters. The average coefficient of friction of the MoS2 coatings in steady-state friction did not exceed 0.051 for all samples. The influence of the sample pretreatment method on the growth of molybdenum disulfide crystals was revealed. Full article

Over the last few decades, the high velocity oxygen fuel (HVOF) spraying of WC-CoCr for internal diameter (ID) coating has attracted much interest for hard chrome replacement. Current demands for the ID coating of small cylindrical parts necessitates the use of specialized spray gun equipment and powder feedstocks with small particle size fractions. Due to the limited spray distance inside cylindrical parts with small IDs, the process control, spraying fine WC-CoCr powders, meets new challenges to avoid significant WC decomposition, which increases the risk of mechanical degradation. Within the scope of this study, ID-HVOF spraying using a fine-structured WC-CoCr (−15 + 5 μm) feedstock with a mean WC particle size of 400 nm is examined with respect to the WC decomposition phenomena using X-ray diffraction (XRD). Hence, a statistical design of experiments (DoE) is utilized to systematically analyze various spray parameter settings along with their interaction as part of the WC to W2C conversion. Full article

As there is a strong pressure in the EU to reduce CO2 emissions and overall fossil fuel consumption in the energy sector, many boilers are burning biomass instead of traditional fuels (coal, natural gas, oil, etc.). This is mainly due to the EU 2030 energy strategy, which commits Member States to reduce fossil fuel emissions by at least 40% (compared to the 1990 level) and to use at least 32% of renewable energy. The combustion of biomass containing aggressive elements such as chlorine or sulfur causes serious damage to various boiler components, with negative impacts such as reduced boiler lifetime, increased investments and maintenance costs, reduced availability, and others. These problems occur mainly in plants/boilers designed to burn coal and redesigned to burn biomass (straw, wood chips, wood pellets, etc.). In this paper, the corrosion resistance of heat coatings determined in long-term laboratory tests in an environment specifically corresponding to biomass flue gas is presented. These results can be used to design a suitable modification of existing coal boilers using conventional materials. The aim was to compare three completely different technologies currently available on local markets for the preparation of these coatings—thin wire arc spray (TWAS), high-velocity oxygen fuel (HVOF), and water-stabilized plasma. These coatings were compared with the base material of the boiler tubes—low alloyed steel 16Mo3 and high alloyed austenitic stainless steel AISI 310 as a more expensive option for retrofit. After 5000 h of exposure in an environment containing HCl and SO2, no cracks or structural defects were observed in any of the coatings, and the substrate material showed no signs of oxidation. All the tested coatings had higher corrosion resistance than the 16Mo3 material, and some of them presented a corrosion behavior close to that of the high alloy AISI 310 steel. Structurally and corrosion-wise, the thermally sprayed coating prepared by HVOF technology was the best of all tested materials. Full article

We describe the technologically simple route for the fabrication of the superhydrophobic coatings on top of wrought magnesium alloy MA8 based on nanosecond laser processing followed by the chemical vapor deposition of fluorosilane. The chemical and phase composition, surface morphologies, and variation of the coating wettability during prolonged contact with 0.5 NaCl solution or with salt aerosol were characterized using X-ray diffraction, FT-IR spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy measurements, and the wettability analysis. The as-prepared coatings demonstrate corrosion current of more than eight orders of magnitude lower, while after 30 days of sample immersion into corrosive solution, the current was four orders of magnitude lower than that obtained for a polished sample which was for only 2 h in contact with electrolyte. The mechanisms of the protective activity of fabricated coatings were discussed. Full article

The corrosion behavior, evaporation and heat transfer of aluminum alloy during droplet evaporation of an aggressive solution of NaCl and hydrogen peroxide in water have been studied experimentally. To date, the effect of corrosion on the evaporation and heat transfer of droplet salt solutions on textured surfaces remains insufficiently explored. The corrosion resistance of the material and the contact angle increase with an increase in the number of laser penetrations after laser texturing. Studies conducted using an electron microscope and Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS) mapping show that the maximum amount of adsorbed hydrocarbon impurities falls on areas with a large number of pits. In the process of metal corrosion, wettability and heat transfer change. In spite of the fact that laser exposure significantly increases the corrosion resistance, the wettability of the wall changes significantly due to corrosion. The wetted diameter of a droplet changes over time, which leads to an increase in the evaporation rate and heat flux. The heat flux during evaporation of a droplet on a heated wall depends on the water droplet diameter, the texture of the wall and the corrosion resistance. Full article

In the twin wire arc spraying (TWAS) process, it is common to use compressed air as atomizing gas. Nitrogen or argon also are used to reduce oxidation and improve coating performance. The heat required to melt the feedstock material depends on the electrical conductivity of the wires used and the ionization energy of both the feedstock material and atomization gas. In the case of ZnAl4, no phase changes were recorded in the obtained coatings by using either compressed air or argon as atomization gas. This fact has led to the assumption that the melting behavior of ZnAl4 with its low melting and evaporating temperature is different from materials with a higher melting point, such as Fe and Ni, which also explains the unexpected compressive residual stresses in the as-sprayed conditions. The heavier atomization gas, argon, led to slightly higher compressive stresses and oxide content. Compressed air as atomization gas led to lower porosity, decreased surface roughness, and better corrosion resistance. In the case of argon, Al precipitated in the form of small particles. The post-treatment machine hammer peening (MHP) has induced horizontal cracks in compressed air sprayed coatings. These cracks were mainly initiated in the oxidized Al phase. Full article

Roller cone drill bits are used in drilling larger diameter wells. The drilling efficiency of the roller cone drill bit depends on the wear rate of the materials that forms bit teeth, which crushes the rock at the bottom of the well. To prevent excessive wear, research has largely focused on the study and determination of abrasion-resistant materials. In our work, we investigated the wear mechanism of a roller cone drill bit whose wear-resistant teeth are protected by a hard metal coating welded onto the teeth. The difference between material properties of erosion-protective carbide coating and the tooth steel leads to uneven wear of bit teeth. In order to determine the material changes, we carried out detailed studies of the rock through which drilling was carried out, the drilling parameters and the materials of which the roller cone bit is made. The principle of wear of the tooth materials and their carbide coating, determined by our research, indicated the guidelines which could be basis for the development of abrasion-resistant materials could be carried out, as well as the problem of applying an erosion protection to the teeth of the studied type of roller cone bits.

In order to enhance wear properties of Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy parts, Al2O3-MoO2-SiO2 composite ceramic coatings are formed on Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy by the DC micro-arc oxidation (MAO) method in the silicate electrolyte with sodium molybdate. Effects of sodium molybdate concentration on the structure characteristics and wear resistance of the composite ceramic coatings are analyzed by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and the wear test, respectively. Analyses indicate that the composite coating consists of different states of Al2O3, MoO2 and mullite phase. With the addition of molybdate in the electrolyte, the morphology and structure are changed. The tribological behavior is greatly affected by the surface characteristics and hardness of the coatings. The composite coatings formed by adding 3 g/L of sodium molybdate electrolyte have the best wear resistance. Full article

In this communication, a bis-silane prepolymer was used to modify epoxy resin, aiming to enhance the corrosion resistance of epoxy coatings on aluminum alloy substrates. The bis-silane prepolymer was prepared by tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and γ-glycidoxypropyl trimethoxysilane (GPTMS). The corrosion behavior of silane-epoxy coatings was studied. Compared with silane monomer-modified epoxy coatings, bis-silane-modified epoxy coatings have lower coating capacitance (Cc), higher charge transfer resistances (Rdl), and lower double layer capacitance (Cdl) during long-time immersion. It indicates that bis-silane-modified epoxy coating has stronger waterproof permeability and substrate corrosion protection ability. In addition, due to the leaching of the silane component and cross-linking reaction between different silanes during the immersion process, the bis-silane-modified epoxy coatings exhibit much stronger “self-healing” ability.

Protection of metals in neutral media with pH 5.0–9.0 (in humid atmospheres and various aqueous solutions) can be achieved by formation of thin coatings (up to several tens of nm) on their surfaces due to adsorption and more complex chemical interactions of organic corrosion inhibitors (OCIs) with the metal to be protected. The review contains three sections. The first section deals with coatings formed in aqueous solutions, while the second one, with those formed in organic and water-organic solvents. Here we consider metal protection by coatings mainly formed by the best-known classes of OCI (carboxylates, organophosphates and phosphonates) and estimation of its efficiency. The third section discusses the peculiarities of protection of metals in the vapor-gas phase, i.e., by volatile OCIs, and a relatively new type of metal protection against atmospheric corrosion by the so-called chamber inhibitors. OCIs with relatively low volatility under normal conditions can be used as chamber OCIs. To obtain a protective coating on the surfaces of metal items, they are placed in a chamber inside which an increased concentration of vapors of a chamber OCI is maintained by increasing the temperature. This review mainly focuses on the protection of iron, steels, copper and zinc. Full article
