Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Coatings and surface modifications enable the improved performance of materials in applications where the surface is exposed to atmospheres that promote damage. Thus, materials applied in environments that are prone to suffering wet corrosion or high temperature oxidation (dry corrosion) phenomena often see their surfaces modified in order to achieve improved performance. Due to this, research on new methods to coat materials is always relevant.

This Special Issue is not limited to but intends to receive papers related to coating methods with mechanisms that act to promote improved behaviour at corrosion or high temperature oxidation:

  • Biomaterials: the field related to complex environments uses materials which are submitted to (bio)corrosion and wear. In these conditions, different surface modification methods are applied to confer corrosion protection and biocompatibility.
  • Aeronautics/Aerospace: the study of thermal barrier coatings is a field that presents interesting perspectives with high entropy coating (alloys) and additive manufacturing.
  • Oil and gas: bio-inspired coatings, self-healing, polymeric and composite-based coatings have all been recently employed to avoid corrosion in the petroleum extraction; the acting mechanisms are still under investigation.
  • Modelling/experimental papers that address the potential of computational tools in this field are also welcome.

In an electromagnetic launch system, the surface of the aluminum alloy armature is subjected to high-temperature ablation, leading to the generation of significant metal vapor and the initiation of high-energy arcs. This damages the armature structure and can result in a launch failure. Enhancing the ablation resistance of the armature surface is crucial for improving launch efficiency. In this study, a model for the surface modification of an aluminum alloy armature was constructed. The impact of the CoCrNiFeAlx surface-modified material on the resistance to ablation and structural changes of the armature during arc ablation was elucidated through molecular dynamics simulation. Results show that adding a CoCrNiFeAlx fused cladding layer can effectively enhance the material’s high-temperature resistance. The CoCrNiFeAlx fused cladding significantly reduces the depth of arc intrusion. The CoCrNiFeAlx aluminum alloy model exhibits a narrower strain range on the bombarded surface and a more flattened bombardment crater shape. CoCrNiFeAlx fused cladding helps to reduce damage from substrate bombardment. Comparing simulation results indicates that CoCrNiFeAl0.25 performs best in high-temperature resistance and impact strength, making it the most preferred choice. This study elucidates the law of high-entropy alloy arc ablation resistance and its micromechanism in armature surface modification. It provides a theoretical basis and technical support for preparing high-entropy alloy–aluminum alloy-modified armatures with superior ablation resistance performance. Full article

The evolution of Co coating in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) under low and medium temperatures (<700 °C) is different from that under high temperatures. In this context, the oxidation corrosion of 441 ferritic stainless steel (FSS) with a Co coating in air under 650 °C was investigated. The results indicated that the Co coating was oxidized rapidly and a Co3O4 spinel layer formed in the initial exposure of 5 min, which improved the oxidation resistance of 441 steel. After oxidation at 650 °C for 120 h, a Cr2O3 layer with a thickness of 0.2–0.4 μm was observed on the surface of bare 441 steel, while the surface oxide scale of Co-coated 441 steel samples was composed of an inner Cr2O3 and Fe2O3 solid solution (0.1–0.3 μm thick), an intermediate (Fe, Co)3O4 layer and an outer Co3O4 spinel layer, respectively. The Co-coated 441 steel sample exhibited better electrical properties. After oxidation at 650 °C for 120 h, the area-specific resistance (ASR) of the Co-coated steel was 3.73 mΩ·cm2, which was 25.4% lower than that of bare 441 steel as 5 mΩ·cm2. Furthermore, the thermal growth process and protection mechanism of Co coating at 650 °C were discussed. Full article

This study examines the tribological and corrosion properties of Stellite 20 alloy coatings on F310H heat-resistant stainless steel that were prepared using HVOF and HVAF supersonic flame spraying techniques. To investigate the coatings’ microstructure, phase, microhardness, wear, and corrosion resistance, a range of characterization techniques, including SEM, EDS, XRD, microhardness, and friction wear-testers, weas employed. The results indicate that both HVOF and HVAF-prepared coatings exhibit a dense structure with porosity of 0.41% and 0.32%, respectively. The coatings are composed of γ-Co solid solution, ε-Co solid solution, Cr-rich solid solution, Cr7C3, WC, and CoCr2O4 phases. The microhardness of the Stellite 20 coatings prepared by HVOF and HVAF methods was 610 HV0.3 and 690 HV0.3, respectively, which is three times higher than that of the F310H stainless steel substrate. The wear mechanism of the HVAF coating is abrasive wear, while the wear mechanism of the HVOF coating is mainly fatigue wear with slight abrasive wear. The HVAF coating demonstrates superior wear resistance due to its higher flame velocity, denser coating, and higher average microhardness. In contrast, the HVOF coating shows a higher friction coefficient stability due to its lower hardness dispersion. The corrosion potentials of the HVOF and HVAF coatings are −0.532 V and −0.376 V, respectively, with corresponding corrosion current densities of 1.692 × 10−7 A·cm−2 and 6.268 × 10−7 A·cm−2, respectively. Compared to the HVOF coating, the Stellite 20 coating prepared using HVAF technology exhibits better wear and corrosion resistance. Full article

Nickel-based superalloys have excellent properties at high temperatures, which makes them appropriate for applications such as turbocharges and aeronautic gas turbines. MAR-M246 is a superalloy developed for these kinds of applications. The objective of this work was to study the total replacement of Ta by Nb in atomic percentage for this superalloy, regarding the oxidation resistance. Although both elements have the same role (form the γ’ precipitates) in nickel-based superalloys, Ta is more expensive than Nb. Thus, this replacement leads to the possibility of a price reduction. This work studied both conventional MAR-M246(Ta) and experimental MAR-M246(Nb) on cyclic oxidation tests at 900 and 1000 °C for up to 180 cycles. The oxide products were characterized by SEM/EDS and XRD analysis. The products of oxidation were mainly TiO2, Al2O3, Cr2O3, NiO, and Ni(Co)Cr2O4. Mass gain variation per unit area was stable for both materials and temperatures. However, spalled areas were detected for tests performed at 1000 °C. The results obtained here suggest that use of Nb instead of Ta can be considered regarding high temperature oxidation for MAR-M246 superalloy. Full article
