Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The corrosion failure of materials has been a long-term, worldwide issue, causing huge economic losses and accidental disasters. Corrosion protection research comprises an important step towards sustainable actions to protect our environment and to conserve resources. With technical innovations, there have been new corrosion problems arising given the emergence and application of new materials. In this context, the present Special Issue aims to collect state-of-the-art research, providing a forum for discussion on recent advances in corrosion evaluation, testing, protection, and failure analysis.

We welcome high-quality original research and review articles on themes including, but not limited to, the following:

  • Corrosion behaviors and mechanisms;
  • Failure analysis;
  • Surface modification;
  • Advanced coatings;
  • Corrosion inhibitors and smart carriers;
  • Corrosion inhibition mechanism by DFT calculation and molecular dynamics simulation;
  • Electrochemical characterization;
  • New monitoring, evaluation, simulation, and prediction methods.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

After the Fukushima nuclear disaster, the nuclear materials community has been vastly investing in accident tolerant fuel (ATF) concepts to modify/replace Zircaloy cladding material. Iron–chromium–aluminum (FeCrAl) alloys are one of the leading contenders in this race. In this study, we investigated FA-SMT (or APMT-2), PM-C26M, and Fe17Cr5.5Al over a time period of 6 months in simulated BWR environments and compared their performance with standard Zirc-2 and SS316 materials. Our results implied that water chemistry along with alloy chemistry has a profound effect on the corrosion rate of FeCrAl alloys. Apart from SS316 and Zirc-2 tube specimens, all FeCrAl alloys showed a mass loss in hydrogen water chemistry (HWC). FA-SMT displayed minimal mass loss compared to PM-C26M and Fe17Cr5.5Al because of its higher Cr content. The mass gain of FeCrAl alloys in normal water chemistry (NWC) is significantly less when compared to Zirc-2. Full article

Flexible anodes are a common form of anode ground bed for the cathodic protection of buried pipes in station areas, especially in new stations. In most cases, flexible anode ground beds could obtain uniform potential distribution and good protection. However, in the process of operation, there are also failure conditions such as anode body or cable breakage, electronic shorting between anode and pipes and other situations, resulting in poor protection. How to troubleshoot failures has become a difficult problem restricting the application of flexible anodes in actual production. In this paper, the failures of a flexible anode cathodic protection system in a station were assessed and analyzed in detail. The main reasons for the failures were the electronic shorting between the flexible anode and buried pipe in local area and the breaking of a partial flexible anode. The troubleshooting methods for two kinds of failures were explored. By measuring the potentials of both the flexible anode and pipes in different areas and the excavation test, the location of electronic shoring was determined. And through measuring the grounding resistance of the flexible anode and excavation test, the breaking location of the flexible anode was found. By repairing the failure sites, the failed system was restored to normal, which could provide guidance for the failure analyses of the flexible anode cathodic protection system. Full article

This study delves into the atmospheric corrosion behavior of chromium-free complex-phase (CP) steel, specifically investigating the influence of wet/dry frequency and ratio in cyclic corrosion tests (CCT). The study employs a modified ISO 14993 standard CCT method, which involves salt spray, dry, and wet stages. After 15 and 30 CCT cycles, mass loss, maximum corrosion depth, and corrosion products were analyzed to gain insights into corrosion mechanisms. In general, increasing the frequency and wet/dry stage ratio in CCT extends the time for autocatalytic reactions to occur, leading to accelerated localized CP steel corrosion and increased pitting factors. However, as the rust layer thickens, uniform corrosion may also intensify, so careful considerations are necessary. This study underscores the importance of controlling the frequency and ratio of wet/dry stages in CCT for effectively analyzing localized corrosion behavior in specimens. Full article
