Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, the technological needs of society and industry have pushed metallic alloys into service conditions for which there is little notable research, particular in relation to corrosion resistance performance. These extreme service conditions include combinations of high pressure and temperature for which there are a lack of experimental data to support known models and mechanisms for different corrosion damage mechanism. Conducting the necessary research in these extreme service conditions also requires that significant experimental challenges be overcome.

This Special Issue aims to provide a forum for bleeding-edge research on corrosion in extreme service conditions. Potential topics may include (but are not limited to):

  • Theoretical and experimental studies that support or introduce new theories to explain corrosion phenomena observed in extreme service applications.
  • Research assessing application envelopes for metallic alloys in extreme service conditions, considering different degradation mechanisms.
  • Evaluation of corrosion damage accumulation mitigation methodologies in extreme service applications.
  • Development of modelling and associated algorithms for predictive assessment of the consequences of alloys degradation in extreme service conditions.

Hot galvanization on steel surfaces can isolate the steel from corrosive environments and alleviate the stress corrosion cracking caused by the anodic dissolution mechanism. However, the cathodic protection potential of the coating is excessively negative, which may aggravate the hydrogen embrittlement problem. The effect of a coating on the stress corrosion performance of bridge cable wire was studied by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive spectrometry (EDS), a thermal desorption analysis (TDA), an electrochemical workstation, and an FIP test. The results show that hot-dip ZnAl and ZnAlMg alloy coatings can significantly prolong the stress corrosion fracture time of steel wire substrates. From a macroscopic perspective, the stress corrosion cracking fracture is a brittle fracture caused by hydrogen embrittlement. Moreover, the coating type has little effect on the fracture morphology of bridge cable wire. In NH4SCN solution (50 °C, 20 wt.%), a corrosion product layer composed of ZnS and Al2O3 was formed on the surface of the coated steel wire. The electrochemical analysis showed that the corrosion resistance of the ZnAlMg coating was better than that of the ZnAl coating, which was the main reason for the improvement of the stress corrosion performance.
