The influences of Zn content and heat treatment on microstructure and corrosion behavior of Mg-xZn (x=1, 3, 5 and 7 wt.%) alloys were studied. (α-Mg + MgZn) eutectic cells and Zn-segregated regions were formed in the as-cast alloys. The Zn-rich phases acted as micro-cathodes in galvanic corrosion. Volume fraction of the Zn-rich phases increased with Zn content of the as-cast alloys, leading to a decrease in corrosion resistance. The corrosion rate of the as-cast alloys increased by 4 times with an increase of the volume fraction of eutectic cell from 0.07 vol.% of Mg-1Zn alloy to 2.18 vol.% of Mg-5Zn alloy. The corrosion rate of Mg-7Zn alloy with 2.87 vol% eutectic cells was 2 times higher than that of Mg-5Zn alloy. The Zn-rich phases dissolved by the T4 treatment and only the T4-treated Mg-7Zn alloy obviously showed eutectic cells of 1.73 vol.%. The polarization resistance (Rp) of the T4-treated Mg-1, 3 and 5Zn alloys was 2-10 times higher than that of the as-cast alloys. The T4-treated Mg-7Zn showed similar Rp to the as-cast Mg-5Zn alloy. Consequently, the volume fraction of Zn-rich phases dominated the corrosion resistance of Mg-xZn alloys.

Metal-ceramic composite or cermet coatings have become popular due to their enhanced wear and corrosion resistance properties. Cermet consists of ceramic particulate embedded in a metallic binder. WC-Co coatings are often used in applications that require wear resistance, but there are many applications in which thermally sprayed coatings have been deposited on components that operate under both abrasive and corrosive condition. Thus, in this study, the corrosion behavior of WC-12wt%Co in different electrolyte has been evaluated. Electrochemical test has been done in three electrolytes namely 0.5 M hydrochloric acid, HCl, 0.5 M sulfuric acid, H2SO4 and 0.5 M sodium hydroxide, NaOH. It is found that corrosion potential of this coating in acidic environment is more positive compares to in alkaline environment. Both in acid and alkaline electrolyte, binder dissolution were preferential. It may be concluded that this coating have higher corrosion resistance in alkaline electrolyte than in acid electrolyte.

Microstructure and corrosion behavior of the Mg-3Al-xMn (x = 0, 0.12, 0.21, 0.36, 0.45) (hereafter in wt.%) alloys were experimentally investigated by electron probe microanalysis (EPMA), scanning electron microscope equipped with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM/EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), electrochemical, and hydrogen evolution tests. A new self-constructed Mg-Al-Mn-Fe thermodynamic database was used to predict the solidification paths of the alloys. The addition of Mn showed no grain refinement in the cast Mg-3Al alloys. According to the microstructure observation, Al-Fe phases were observed in the non-Mn-added alloy, while Al8Mn5(LT) (Al8Mn5 in low temperature) became the main intermetallic phase in the Mn-added alloys, and the amount increased gradually with the Mn addition. The τ–Al0.89Mn1.11 phase with lower Al/(Fe + Mn) ratio was observed in the alloys with 0.36 and 0.45 wt.% Mn content. According to the electrochemical tests, all five alloys showed localized corrosion characteristics in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution. Compared with the Mg-3Al alloy, the corrosion resistance of Mn-added alloys were significantly improved and increased gradually with the Mn addition, which was due to the variation of Al-containing intermetallic compounds. The present experimental investigations and thermodynamic calculations confirmed the mechanism that the increasing amount of Al8Mn5(LT) with Mn addition could encapsulate the B2-Al(Mn,Fe) phase with higher Fe. Therefore, it could prevent this detrimental phase from contacting magnesium matrix, thus suppressing micro-galvanic corrosion and improving corrosion resistance gradually.

The carabiners are metallic links used to quickly connect the components of personal fall arrest equipment. Because these systems are used in corrosive environments, the carabiners must possess good corrosion resistance properties. In order to improve these properties, a phosphate layer was chemically deposited by converting on the carabiner material surface. This paper presents the microscopic analysis of the phosphated layer and the galvanic corrosion behavior of phosphated carbon steel, coupled to duralumin and initial carbon steel. Corrosion resistance has been studied for Black Sea water and fire extinguishing solution.

Corrosion behavior of friction stir welded 2195-T8 Al-Cu-Li alloy has been studied. Immersion and electrochemical open-circuit potential (OCP) test were applied. The microstructure and precipitates evolution in different zones were investigated by scanning electron microscopy, stereoscope, and transmission electron microscopy. The corrosion tests showed that the sequence of corrosion resistance of each area of the joint is: welding nugget zone (WNZ) > base metal > heat affected zone (HAZ). The WNZ showed highest corrosion resistance due to the fine recrystallized grains, the dissolution of T1(Al2CuLi) phase, and the refined and evenly-distributed particles in this area. However, the HAZ had the lowest corrosion resistance due to the intergranular precipitates, deleterious precipitate-free zone (PFZ), S′ (Al2CuMg) phase, and the galvanic corrosion couples formed among T1, θ′, and PFZ.

Twinning-induced plasticity (TWIP) steels have higher strength and ductility than conventional steels. Deformation mechanisms producing twins that prevent gliding and stacking of dislocations cause a higher ductility than that of steel grades with the same strength. TWIP steels are considered to be within the new generation of advanced high-strength steels (AHSS). However, some aspects, such as the corrosion resistance and performance in service of TWIP steel materials, need more research. Application of TWIP steels in the automotive industry requires a proper investigation of corrosion behavior and corrosion mechanisms, which would indicate the optimum degree of protection and the possible decrease in costs. In general, Fe−Mn-based TWIP steel alloys can passivate in oxidizing acid, neutral, and basic solutions, however they cannot passivate in reducing acid or active chloride solutions. TWIP steels have become as a potential material of interest for automotive applications due to their effectiveness, impact resistance, and negligible harm to the environment. The mechanical and corrosion performance of TWIP steels is subjected to the manufacturing and processing steps, like forging and casting, elemental composition, and thermo-mechanical treatment. Corrosion of TWIP steels caused by both intrinsic and extrinsic factors has posed a serious problem for their use. Passivity breakdown caused by pitting, and galvanic corrosion due to phase segregation are widely described and their critical mechanisms examined. Numerous studies have been performed to study corrosion behavior and passivation of TWIP steel. Despite the large number of articles on corrosion, few comprehensive reports have been published on this topic. The current trend for development of corrosion resistance TWIP steel is thoroughly studied and represented, showing the key mechanisms and factors influencing corrosion processes, and its consequences on TWIP steel. In addition, suggestions for future works and gaps in the literature are considered.

Aluminium bronzes are exhibiting good corrosion resistance in saline environments combined with high mechanical properties. Their corrosion resistance is obviously confered by the alloy chemical composition, but it can also be improved by heat treatment structural changes. In the present paper, five Cu-Al-Fe-Mn bronze samples were subjected to annealing heat treatments with furnace cooling, water quenching and water quenching followed by tempering at three different temperatures: 200, 400 and 550�C. The heating temperature on annealing and quenching was 900�C. The structure of the heat treated samples was studied by optical and scanning electron microscopy. Subsequently, the five samples were submitted to corrosion tests. The best resistance to galvanic corrosion was showed by the quenched sample, but it can be said that all samples are characterized by close values of open-circuit potentials and corrosion potentials. Concerning the susceptibility to other types of corrosion (selective leaching, pitting, crevice corrosion), the best corrosion resistant structure consists of a solid solution, g2 and k compounds, corresponding to the quenched and 550�C tempered sample.

A gradient Mg-8 wt % Si alloy, which was composed of the agglomerated Mg2Si crystals coating (GMS8-1) and the eutectic Mg–Si alloy matrix (GMS8-2), was designed for biodegradable orthopedic implant materials. The bio-corrosion behavior was evaluated by the electrochemical measurements and the immersion tests. The results show that a significant improvement of bio-corrosion resistance was achieved by using the gradient Mg–Si alloy, as compared with the traditional Mg-8 wt % Si alloy (MS8), which should be attributed to the compact and insoluble Mg2Si phase distributed on the surface of the material. Especially, GMS8-1 exhibits the highest polarization resistance of 1610 Ω, the lowest corrosion current density of 1.7 × 10−6 A.cm−2, and the slowest corrosion rate of 0.10 mm/year. In addition, GMS8-1 and GMS8-2 show better osteogenic activity than MS8, with no cytotoxicity to MC3T3-E1 cells. This work provides a new way to design a gradient biodegradable Mg alloys with some certain biological functions.
