The corrosion behavior of as-cast AZ91C magnesium alloy was studied by performing friction stir processing (FSP) and FSP followed by solution annealing and then aging. Phase analysis, microstructural characterization, potentiodynamic polarization test and immersion tests were carried out to relate the corrosion behavior to the samples microstructure. The microstructural observations revealed the breakage and dissolution of coarse dendritic microstructure as well as the coarse secondary [Formula: see text]-Mg[Formula: see text]Al[Formula: see text] phase which resulted in a homogenized and fine grained microstructure (15[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m). T6 heat treatment resulted in an excessive growth and dispersion of the secondary phases in the microstructure of FSP zone. The potentiodynamic polarization and immersion tests proved a significant effect of both FSP and FSP followed by T6 on increasing the corrosion resistance of the cast AZ91C magnesium alloy. Improve in corrosion resistance after FSP was attributed to grain refinement and elimination of segregations and casting defects which makes more adhesive passive layer. Increase in volume fraction of precipitations after T6 heat treatment is determined to be the main factor which stabilizes the passive layer at different polarization values and is considered to be responsible for increasing the corrosion resistance.

In this study, the influence of carbonization environment on the performance of Tubular Carbon Membrane (TCMs) was explored. P84 co-polyimide/Nanocrystalline cellulose-based TCMs were synthesized by dip-coating technique. The permeation properties of TCMs were determined by employing pure gas of CO2 and N2. Heat treatment processes were carried out under different environment (Argon, Nitrogen, and Helium) with the flow rate of 200 ml/min to boost the membrane’s performance. The carbonization process was performed at a consistent carbonization temperature of 800oC under heating rate of 3oC/min. Carbonization under Argon environment was found to be the best condition for PI/NCC-based TCMs preparation with the permeance of 3.22±3.21and 213.56±2.17 GPU for N2, and CO2 gases, respectively. This membrane exhibited the uppermost CO2/N2 selectivity of 66.32±2.18. TCMs prepared under Ar environment experienced less weight loss while exhibiting highest CO2/N2 selectivity as compared to those prepared under He and N2 environment.

The microstructure and corrosion behavior of commercial AZ91/AZ91-0.4%Nd alloys were investigated by OM, immersion test and weight-loss method. It was found that the number of Nd element in the AZ91 magnesium alloy has effect on the grain refining efficiency, the coarse β-Mg17Al12phase distributed along the grain boundaries transformed into granular, and the granular or acicular Al3Nd phase precipitated in matrix. The addition of Nd element significantly reduces the corrosion rate of AZ91-0.4%Nd magnesium alloy, as a result the corrosion resistance of alloy was improved obviously.

The corrosion behavior of the sintered 17-4PH stainless steel samples aged at different conditions in artificial saliva was studied using the method of electrochemical and weight loss after exposure for various periods of time. The results showed that the samples aged at 480 °C for 1 h exhibited the highest corrosion resistance.The pitting corrosion was predominantly initiated from existing, isolated pores and further accelerated. The corrosion kinetics trend is found to be more consistent with a bimodal function form rather than the classical power-law function.
