Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

I would like to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue of Coatings entitled “Role of Coatings on Corrosion, Wear and Erosion Behavior”. The processes of degradation such as wear and/or corrosion can result in the premature failure of components, as well as incurring high costs of unscheduled replacement. In recent years, industrial components are increasingly expected to operate in more hostile environments. One way by which a component’s life can be extended is to incorporate into its design coatings that are resistant to both wear and corrosion.

The purpose of this Special Issue is to present the latest developments in wear- and corrosion-resistant coatings to extend the operating lives of industrial components. Full papers, review articles and short communications are all welcome. The topics covered by this issue may include but are not limited to the following:

  • Coatings to reduce erosive, abrasive or adhesive wear;
  • Corrosion;
  • Tribo-corrosion;
  • Multifunctional, smart and self-healing coatings;
  • Methods of coating deposition;
  • Characterisation of wear-resistant coatings;
  • Applications of surface coatings to reduce wear.

I look forward to receiving your contributions.

Dr. David W. Wheeler
Guest Editor

The use of coatings on cutting tools offers several advantages from the point of view of wear resistance. A recent technique with great coating deposition potential is PVD HiPIMS. TiAlN-based coatings have good resistance to oxidation due to the oxide layer that is formed on their surface. However, by adding doping elements such as Vanadium, it is expected that the wear resistance will be improved, as well as its adhesion to the substrate surface. INCONEL® 718 is a nickel superalloy with superior mechanical properties, which makes it a difficult-to-machine material. Milling, due to its flexibility, is the most suitable technique for machining this alloy. Based on this, in this work, the influence of milling parameters, such as cutting speed (Vc), feed per tooth (fz), and cutting length (Lcut), on the surface integrity and wear resistance of TiAlVN-coated tools in the milling of INCONEL® 718 was evaluated. The cutting length has a great influence on the process, with the main wear mechanisms being material adhesion, abrasion, and coating delamination. Furthermore, it was noted that delamination occurred due to low adhesion of the film to the substrate, as well as low resistance to crack propagation. It was also observed that using a higher cutting speed resulted in increased wear. Moreover, in general, by increasing the milling parameters, machined surface roughness also increased. Full article

Wind turbine blade erosion is typically assessed in situ using visual inspection, which is a rudimentary qualitative assessment of the condition of the blade coating system. On coated test specimens in laboratory test conditions, mass loss can provide a better understanding of the stage of erosion, but cannot be extended to real world applications. In this work, by using analysis of photographs, microscopy images, mass data, and gloss data together, it was found that gloss measurements can effectively quantify changes in coating microstructure as a result of rain erosion. This was achieved by correlating and comparing mass loss measurements over time with surface gloss and verifying the erosion stages with photographs and microscopy images. As such, gloss was shown to represent the erosion stages with greater accuracy than the current industry methods. This novel technique has been shown to identify the incubation period, that is the onset of erosion damage, by detecting microstructure changes which are not visible to the naked eye, nor is determinable by mass loss. The quantitative output from the gloss methodology thus allows wind turbine owners and operators to assess, manage, and plan more efficiently for costly erosion repairs and future inspections. The system is presently being used in a laboratory setting, though it has the potential to be combined with drones or climber robots to be remotely used within the wind farm. Full article

This review of the tribocorrosion of coatings and surface modifications covers nearly 195 papers and reviews that have been published in the past 15 years, as compared to only 37 works published up to 2007, which were the subject of a previous review published in 2007. It shows that the research into the subject area is vibrant and growing, to cover emerging deposition, surface modification and testing techniques as well as environmental influences and modelling developments. This growth reflects the need for machines to operate in harsh environments coupled with requirements for increased service life, lower running costs and improved safety factors. Research has also reacted to the need for multifunctional coating surfaces as well as functionally graded systems with regard to depth. The review covers a range of coating types designed for a wide range of potential applications. The emerging technologies are seen to be molten-, solution-, PVD- and PEO-based coatings, with CVD coatings being a less popular solution. There is a growing research interest in duplex surface engineering and coating systems. Surface performance shows a strong playoff between wear, friction and corrosion rates, often with antagonistic relationships and complicated interactions between multiple mechanisms at different scale lengths within tribocorrosion contacts. The tribologically induced stresses are seen to drive damage propagation and accelerate corrosion either within the coating or at the coating coating–substrate interface. This places a focus on coating defect density. The environment (such as pH, DO2, CO2, salinity and temperature) is also shown to have a strong influence on tribocorrosion performance. Coating and surface modification solutions being developed for tribocorrosion applications include a whole range of electrodeposited coatings, hard and tough coatings and high-impedance coatings such as doped diamond-like carbon. Hybrid and multilayered coatings are also being used to control damage penetration into the coating (to increase toughness) and to manage stresses. A particular focus involves the combination of various treatment techniques. The review also shows the importance of the microstructure, the active phases that are dissolved and the critical role of surface films and their composition (oxide or passive) in tribocorrosion performance which, although discovered for bulk materials, is equally applicable to coating performance. New techniques show methods for revealing the response of surfaces to tribocorrosion (i.e., scanning electrochemical microscopy). Modelling tribocorrosion has yet to embrace the full range of coatings and the fact that some coatings/environments result in reduced wear and thus are antagonistic rather than synergistic. The actual synergistic/antagonistic mechanisms are not well understood, making them difficult to model. Full article
