Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

Corrosion has been and remains a challenge in industrial processes. The cost of corrosion, linked to prevention and repair of damage, is estimated at around 3.4% of the global GDP, but around 15% to 35% of this cost could be spared via mitigation methods.

The main avenue for improving corrosion resistance is the protection of materials, either through the selection of intrinsically corrosion-resistant materials or the modification of their surface properties with various treatments and coatings.

We are inviting submissions to a topic related to materials for corrosion protection, to present cutting-edge materials and surface treatments aiming at reducing corrosion in various environments and applications.

Topics of interest for publication are:

Corrosion-resistant metals and alloys
Metal substitutes for highly corrosive environments
Conversion coatings and anodization
Barrier coatings (metallic or non-metallic)
Sacrificial coatings
Self-healing coatings
Sol–gel coatings, polymer coatings, and paints
Corrosion-inhibitor-containing coatings
Complex coating systems
Atmospheric-corrosion-resistant materials
High-temperature oxidation-resistant materials

Abstract

Ti6Al4V (TC4) is widely used in aerospace, marine equipment, and the petrochemical industry. However, the dense oxide film on the surface of this alloy will be destroyed in reducing acid solution, resulting in surface corrosion in practical application. To enhance the corrosion resistance of TC4 in marine environments, this study employed laser cladding technology to deposit a CoCrW cladding layer on the TC4 alloy surface. Experimental results validated the successful preparation of a dense, crack-free CoCrW layer. The microstructure of the CoCrW layer was characterized by predominant bulk grains and minor equiaxed crystal constituents, demonstrating a robust metallurgical bond to the matrix. Notably, the corrosion resistance of the TC4 surface witnessed a marked improvement, evident from the CoCrW coating’s increased open circuit potential, elevated electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) radius, phase angle, and impedance modulus values. The corrosion rates of both the TC4 and CoCrW cladding layers escalated with extended immersion time and increased immersion corrosion temperature. However, the CoCrW cladding layer reported minimal mass loss and the least corrosion rate. In summary, the CoCrW coating, when prepared via laser cladding on the TC4 surface, markedly bolstered corrosion resistance. Full article

Abstract

We investigate the effect of pure darkness and UV illumination on the corrosion process of 3Ni weathering steels involved in both marine atmospheric environments. The corrosion behavior of 3Ni steel in both environments was assessed by cyclic acceleration experiments, electrochemical measurements, morphological analysis and physical phase analysis. The results show that UV illumination affects the corrosion process through the photovoltaic effect of the corrosion products, with photoelectrons and photo-vacancies participating in the redox reaction between the substrate and the atmospheric environment, thereby affecting the corrosion rate of 3Ni steel, the physical composition of the corrosion products and the denseness of the rust layer.

Abstract

Ni-Cr-Si-alloy-cladding layers with Si contents of 0 wt.%, 1 wt.%, 3 wt.% and 5 wt.% were prepared via a laser-cladding technique, and the effect of Si content on the high-temperature corrosion resistance of the Ni-20Cr-Si-alloy-cladding layers in NaCl-KCl-K₂SO₄-Na₂SO₄ mixed salt was systematically investigated. The results show that at 600 °C, the four cladding layers rely mainly on the generation of dense Cr₂O₃ on the surface to hinder the continuation of corrosion. The addition of Si helps to improve the stability of Cr₂O₃ in the mixed salt, and on the other hand Si is enriched in the corrosion layer, which can effectively hinder the penetration of the corrosive medium. The addition of Si can effectively improve the high-temperature corrosion resistance of the Ni-20Cr-cladding layer, whereas the corrosion product layer is prone to spalling when the Si content is ≥3 wt.%. The best corrosion resistance was demonstrated by Ni-20Cr-1Si in NaCl-KCl-K₂SO₄-Na₂SO₄ mixed salt. Full article

Abstract

Deteriorating concrete structures are repaired to restore their load-carrying capacity and enhance their appearance. As part of the repair procedure, the corroded reinforcing steel bars are cleaned by sandblasting, and a protective coating is applied to protect them from further corrosion. Generally, a zin-rich epoxy coating is used for this purpose. However, there have been concerns about the performance of this type of coating in protecting the steel due to the formation of galvanic corrosion, thus necessitating the need for developing a durable steel coating. In this study, the performance of two types of steel coatings, namely a zinc-rich epoxy and cement-based epoxy resin coating, was investigated. The performance of the selected coatings was evaluated by conducting both laboratory and field experiments. In the field studies, the concrete specimens were exposed to a marine exposure site for more than five years. The salt spray and accelerated reinforcement corrosion studies indicated that the performance of the cement-based epoxy coating was better than the zinc-rich epoxy coating. However, there was no visible difference between the performance of the investigated coatings in the reinforced concrete slab specimens placed in the field. It is suggested to use cement-based epoxy coatings as steel primers based on the field and laboratory data developed in this study. Full article

Abstract

Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) intercalating with a corrosion inhibitor for slowing down the corrosion of a reinforcing bar has attracted considerable attention. However, achieving high-loading capacity of organic inhibitor in LDH with high efficiency and long-term protection characteristics remains an important challenge. In this work, the CaAl-LDH intercalating with eugenol (EG) was synthesized via a continuous hydrothermal method. The prepared LDHs were characterized by SEM, XRD, UV-vis absorption spectra and TGA. Additionally, the corrosion protection performances of LDH-EG for steel bar were studied in detail via the electrochemical method. The results show that the loading amount of EG in LDHs was about 30% and about 80% EG could be released from LDH-EG within 4 h in SCPs containing 3.5% NaCl. The electrochemical test results show that the R_ct value (10⁵~10⁶ Ω · cm²) of steel-mortar incorporated with LDH-EG has increased by 3–4 orders of magnitude compared to the specimen without LDHs (10²~10³ Ω · cm²) after 16 dry–wet cycles corrosion test. The significantly improved protection capability is mainly derived from two aspects: one is the filling effect of LDH, which can fill the pores of mortar and improve the impermeability; another reason is that the intercalated EG can slowly diffuse out of the inner structure of LDHs in a controllable way and result in a relatively long-term effect of corrosion inhibition.

Abstract

In the field of corrosion protection coatings, layered double hydroxide (LDH) has gained wide attention as a novel controlled-release nanocontainer. In this paper, by using a co-precipitation to store corrosion inhibitors in layered double hydroxide with barrier properties, an environmentally friendly gallic acid (GA) intercalated layered double hydroxide corrosion protection filler (GA-LDH) was prepared. The epoxy coating was then modified with GA-LDH to improve its corrosion protection performance. The structure, composition, and release behavior of GA-LDH were investigated by a series of characterizations, such as field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry (UV-vis). Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and a neutral salt spray test (NSS) were performed to evaluate the effect of EP coating containing GA-LDH on corrosion protection for Q235 steel. The results show that GA-LDH added to an epoxy coating can achieve excellent corrosion protection performance and is expected to be widely used in marine corrosion protection contexts. Full article
