Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Corrosion is one of the most damaging and costly material degradation problems in industrial settings. It leads to economic losses equivalent to 3–4% of the GDP of an industrialised country every year. Many materials derive their corrosion resistance from passivity, i.e., the formation of a passive film at the surface. Any damage to the passive film during service can lead to accelerated corrosion, which in turn can lead to accelerated wear. Thus, tribocorrosion is also a common degradation phenomenon in industry. For decades, efforts have been made to tackle the grave challenges of corrosion and tribocorrosion. Among the many techniques developed, surface engineering and coating technologies are the most effective because material degradation due to corrosion is a surface- and subsurface-related phenomenon.

A surface engineering and coating system is a composite system comprising the surface layer, the subsurface zone and the substrate. Through the proper design and implementation of the surface coating, subsurface and substrate as a system, the corrosion and tribocorrosion resistance of engineering materials can be considerably enhanced. Significant progress has been made in this respect. This Special Issue aims to bring together the latest developments in this technologically and economically important area, compiling unique advances in coating development, corrosion and tribocorrosion characterisation and industrial applications.

It is my pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript for this Special Issue. Contributions from academic research, application-oriented research and industrial field studies are welcome, and may take the form of full papers, communications and reviews.

Low-temperature plasma nitriding of austenitic stainless steel can ensure that its corrosion resistance does not deteriorate, improving surface hardness and wear performance. Nevertheless, it requires a longer processing time. The hollow cathode discharge effect helps increase the plasma density quickly while radiatively heating the workpiece. This work is based on the hollow cathode discharge effect to perform a rapid nitriding strengthening treatment on AISI 304 stainless steels. The experiments were conducted at three different temperatures (450, 475, and 500 °C) for 1 h in an ammonia atmosphere. The samples were characterized using various techniques, including SEM, AFM, XPS, XRD, and micro-hardness measurement. Potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy methods were employed to assess the electrochemical behavior of the different samples in a 3.5% NaCl solution. The finding suggests that rapid hollow cathode plasma nitriding can enhance the hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion properties of AISI 304 stainless steel. Full article

This study aimed to improve the absorption rate of laser energy on the surface of nodular cast iron and further improve its thermal stability and wear resistance. After a 0.3 mm thick AlOOH activation film was pre-sprayed onto the polished surface of the nodular cast iron, a GWLASER 6 kw fiber laser cladding system was used to prepare a mixed dense oxide layer mainly composed of Al2O3, Fe3O4, and SiO2 using the optimal laser melting parameters of 470 W (laser power) and 5.5 mm/s (scanning speed). By comparing and characterizing the prefabricated laser-melted surface, the laser-remelted surface with the same parameters, and the substrate surface, it was found that there was little difference in the structure, composition, and performance between the laser-remelted surface and the substrate surface except for the morphology. The morphology, structure, and performance of the laser-melted surface underwent significant changes, with a stable surface line roughness of 0.9 μm and a 300–400 μm deep heat-affected zone. It could undergo two 1100 °C thermal shock cycles; its average microhardness increased by more than one compared to the remelted and substrate surfaces of 300 HV, with a maximum hardness of 900 HV; and the average friction coefficient and wear quantity decreased to 0.4370 and 0.001 g, respectively. The prefabricated activated film layer greatly improved the thermal stability and wear resistance of the nodular cast iron surface while reducing the laser melting power. Full article

With the rapid development of the advanced manufacturing industry, equipment requirements are becoming increasingly stringent. Since metallic materials often present failure problems resulting from wear due to extreme service conditions, researchers have developed various methods to improve their properties. Laser shock peening (LSP) is a highly efficacious mechanical surface modification technique utilized to enhance the microstructure of the near-surface layer of metallic materials, which improves mechanical properties such as wear resistance and solves failure problems. In this work, we summarize the fundamental principles of LSP and laser-induced plasma shock waves, along with the development of this technique. In addition, exemplary cases of LSP treatment used for wear resistance improvement in metallic materials of various nature, including conventional metallic materials, laser additively manufactured parts, and laser cladding coatings, are outlined in detail. We further discuss the mechanism by which the microhardness enhancement, grain refinement, and beneficial residual stress are imparted to metallic materials by using LSP treatment, resulting in a significant improvement in wear resistance. This work serves as an important reference for researchers to further explore the fundamentals and the metallic material wear resistance enhancement mechanism of LSP. Full article

Titanium alloy has the advantages of high specific strength, good corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility and is widely used in marine equipment, biomedicine, aerospace, and other fields. However, the application of titanium alloy in special working conditions shows some shortcomings, such as low hardness and poor wear resistance, which seriously affect the long life and safe and reliable service of the structural parts. Tribocorrosion has been one of the research hotspots in the field of tribology in recent years, and it is one of the essential factors affecting the application of passivated metal in corrosive environments. In this work, the characteristics of the marine and human environments and their critical tribological problems are analyzed, and the research connotation of tribocorrosion of titanium alloy is expounded. The research status of surface protection technology for titanium alloy in marine and biological environments is reviewed, and the development direction and trends in surface engineering of titanium alloy are prospected.
