Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Corrosion not only threatens the safety of engineerings but also causes huge ecomomic losses. It has been reported that corrosion cost occupies about 3% of GDP, which explains why corrosion protection is attracting much attention from industry. Using available corrosion control practices, it is estimated that savings of between 15% and 35% of the cost of corrosion could be realized. In addition to the economic cost, corrosion failure may result in leakage, fire, and explosion accidents. Presently, there is a strong emphasis on the development of an advanced strategy for corrosion protection in different technological applications.

The aim of this Special Issue is to provide the readership of Metals with the most up-to-date research in the corrosion and protection of materials. The topics of interest are related to corrosion behaviors and mechanisms of novel materials and novel protective coatings and methods. We welcome reviews and research articles.

Coalescence-induced droplet jumping behavior (CIDJB) refers to the spontaneous jumping of droplets on a specific superhydrophobic surface (SS) without any external energy, which offers a new approach to the field of marine atmospheric corrosion protection by isolating corrosive media. In this study, a flower-like micro–nanocomposite structure SS (F-SS) and a sheet-like nanostructure SS (S-SS) were prepared on copper sheets by ammonia immersion and chemical vapor deposition. Firstly, we observed the microstructure characteristics of the samples and secondly analyzed its chemical composition and wettability. Moreover, the CIDJB was studied by simulated condensation experiments, and the influence of the microstructure on CIDJB was revealed. Meanwhile, the atmospheric corrosion resistance of samples was analyzed by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements, and the protection mechanism of SS through CIDJB was proposed. The results showed that the S-SS had a smaller solid–liquid contact area and lower interfacial adhesion, which is more conducive to CIDJB. Since a larger solid–liquid contact area requires greater interface adhesion energy for the droplets to overcome, droplet jumping behavior was not observed on the F-SS. Compared with the F-SS, the S-SS exhibited outstanding corrosion resistance due to the wettability transition of droplets by CIDJB, which facilitated the restoration of the air film to insulate the corrosive medium. The present study provides a reference for a marine atmospheric corrosion resistance technique through CIDJB on an SS. Full article

Carbon source starvation can promote steel corrosion in the presence of a pure culture through extracellular electron transfer (EET). However, the impact of carbon source starvation on corrosion induced by mixed strains is still unknown. This work investigated the impact of carbon source starvation on EH40 steel corrosion in the presence of Desulfovibrio vulgaris and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, typical species of sulfate- and nitrate-reducing bacteria. It was found that the impact of carbon source starvation on corrosion depended on nitrate addition. When nitrate (5 g∙L−1 NaNO3) was not added, the corrosion was promoted by carbon source starvation. However, the corrosion was initially promoted by carbon source starvation, but later inhibited with nitrate addition. The corrosion behaviors in different systems were closely related to different numbers of the strains in biofilms and their metabolic activities, and the mechanisms were revealed. Full article
