In India, the thermal station generates approximately 6.9 × 10 7 tons of fly ash (FA) as a waste by-product. As part of this work, little attempt was made to produce useful materials from waste material. In our current research, polyaniline- (PANI-) fly ash (FA) nanocomposite (PFNC) was synthesized using an in situ polymerization method. The synthesized composites were characterized by employing advanced analytical, microscopic, and spectroscopic tools. The results of the X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confirm the effective reinforcement of FA into PANI in PFNC. The presence of functional groups in PFNC has been confirmed by Raman and FT-IR spectroscopic techniques. The SEM micrographs of the nanocomposite revealed the presence of agglomerated and fragmented structures in PFNC. The weight loss for PFNC was observed to occur in three stages as revealed by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). UV-visible spectra for PFNC proved that FA stabilized the PANI in emeraldine form. Electrodynamic polarization studies were conducted to explore the corrosion resistance of nanocomposite-coated mild steel. The corrosion current density ( i corr ) for PFNC-coated mild steel (MS) specimens was found to decrease when compared to the bare substrate, indicating superior corrosion resistance in PFNC-coated substrate. Similarly, Tafel and cyclic polarization studies too confirmed superior anticorrosion property for MS coated with PFNC.

We43 Alloy

Hydroxyapatite (HAp) and octacalcium phosphate (OCP) layers were formed on Mg- 4mass% Y- 3mass% rare earth (WE43) alloy by a chemical solution deposition method at various pH values of pH 5.5, 6.2, 7.5, and 8.6. Adhesion strength of HAp and OCP layers was evaluated before and after immersing in a medium for 14 days by a pull-off test. The corrosion resistance of these coatings was measured by polarization tests performed in a simulated body fluid (SBF). XRD analysis demonstrated that HAp coating layers were formed at pH 7.5 and 8.6, while OCP coating layers were formed at pH 5.5 and 6.2. Adhesion test results showed that the as-coated pH7.5-HAp layer had the highest adhesion strength of 8.6 MPa, which was attributed to the very dense structure of the coating layer. The as-coated pH8.6-HAp layer showed the adhesion strength of 6.5 MPa. The adhesion strength of the as-coated pH5.5- and pH6.2-OCP layers was 3.9 and 7.1 MPa, respectively, that was governed by the thick and fragile property of the layers. After immersing in the medium for 14 days, the adhesion strength of pH7.5- and pH8.6-specimens decreased to 5.8 and 5.6 MPa, respectively. The pitting corrosion and formation of Mg(OH)2 under the HAp layers were responsible for the decrease of adhesion strength. The polarization tests in SBF at 37 °C showed that the corrosion current density decreased with the HAp and OCP coatings, indicating the improvement of the corrosion resistance of WE43 alloy. The HAp coatings improved the corrosion resistance more efficiently than the OCP coatings.

The present study investigates the effect of titania particles on the micro-hardness, wear resistance, corrosion resistance and friction of electroless Ni–P–TiO2 composite coatings deposited on mild steel substrates at different annealing temperatures. The experimental results confirmed that the amount of TiO2 particles incorporated in the coatings increases with increase in the concentration of particles in the electroless bath. In presence of TiO2 particles, hardness, wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the coating improve significantly. At higher annealing temperature, wear resistance increases due to formation of hard Ni3P phase and incorporation of titania particles in the coated layer. Charge transfer resistance and corrosion current density of the coatings reduce with an increase in TiO2 particles, whereas corrosion potential increases. Microstructure changes and composition of the composite coating due to heat treatment are studied with the help of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDXA) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis.

In the present work, a layer of 75%Cr3C2−25%NiCr with thickness of 260 ± 15 µm was coated onto the API-2H pipeline steel surface using high-velocity oxy-fuel deposition. The effect of 75%Cr3C2−25%NiCr coating on the corrosion of the API steel after 1 h, 24 h, and 48 h exposure in 4.0% sodium chloride solutions is reported. The corrosion tests were performed using potentiodynamic cyclic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and chronoamperometric current–time techniques along with scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray analyses. The curves of polarization indicated that the presence of the coating increases the corrosion resistance of the steel through decreasing its corrosion current and corrosion rate. Impedance data showed that all resistances recorded higher values for the coated API steel. Chronoamperometric current–time measurements confirmed that the coated API steel has lower absolute current values and thus lower corrosion rate. All results proved that the presence of 75%Cr3C2−25%NiCr coating enhances the corrosion resistance of the API steel via the formation of a protective layer of Cr and Ni oxides, which could lead to decreasing the corrosion rate.

CN-Nb, CN-Ti and CN-Zr that are respectively doped with Nb, Ti and Zr metal in a CN coating are deposited on SKH51 substrate using DC unbalanced magnetron sputtering (DC-UBM). The coatings’ chemical characterization, morphology, mechanical, tribological and corrosion properties are determined. The XRD analysis shows when a low content of metal is added, the coatings exhibit DLC structures. Result from the incorporation of metals, coatings performed denser texture. Simultaneously, the surface became smoother and denser while surface roughness varied from 0.036 to about 0.020 mm. Various properties are improved over CN coating, CN-Ti has a 64% greater hardness at 21.9 Gpa and adhesion 26% better, with a critical load of 87 N. The elastic recovery ranges from 68% (CN) to 100% (CN-Nb and CN-Zr), the wear rate varies from 0.51 10-6mm3/Nm (CN) to 0.1 10-6mm3/Nm (CN-Zr) and the wear depth is reduced by about 73%. An increase in the elastic recovery gives a decreased wear rate. In addition, the corrosion resistance is increased because there is a decrease in the corrosion current density and the CN-Zr coating performed about 35 times better than a CN coating.

Hydrogen entering into steel affects its electrochemical properties and may enhance the susceptibility to environmental degradation. The present work has been aimed at further clarifying the effect of hydrogenation on the corrosion behaviour and passivity of highly-alloyed stainless steels. The results were discussed by taking into account hydrogen charged samples and without hydrogen. The corrosion resistance to pitting was qualified with the cyclic polarization curves. The conclusion is that hydrogen may deteriorated the passive film stability and corrosion resistance to pitting of highly-alloyed stainless steel. Furthermore, the presence of hydrogen in passive films increases corrosion current density, decreasing the potential of the film breakdown and repassivation potential. It was also found that the degree of susceptibility to hydrogen-enhanced pitting corrosion was dependent on the type of steel.

Superhydrophobic surfaces were fabricated on mild steel substrate by electrochemical deposition technique. The morphology of superhydrophobic coating shows a hierarchical structure, the contact angle of water on which is up to 160.1° and the sliding angle is about 1°. The corrosion resistance of as-prepared samples was measured by potentiodynamic polarization curves. The results show that the sample with superhydrophobicity provided better protection against corrosion. The corrosion potential of the sample was found a remarkable drift positively and the corrosion current density decreased sharply compared with which show high adhesion. This route may offer a potential possibility to fabricate superhydrophobic surfaces in large scale in industry and easy to generalize it to other metal materials.

Abstract Gas boriding was used to produce the borided layer containing a mixture of chromium and nickel borides on the Inconel®600-alloy. The borided sample was characterized by a higher corrosion potential (−0.953 V) than the non-borided sample (−1.005 V). The corrosion current density was significantly lower for the borided sample. The oxidation at 1000 °C for 24 h caused the formation of different oxides on the surface of the borided sample. Simultaneously, the presence of nickel and chromium borides was confirmed by XRD analysis after the oxidation test. It was concluded, that the gas boriding could be an effective barrier against corrosion and oxidation of Inconel®600-alloy.

Much research on magnesium (Mg) emphasises creating good corrosion resistance of magnesium, due to its high reactivity in most environments. In this study, powder metallurgy (PM) technique is used to produce Mg samples with a variation of aluminium (Al) composition. The effect of aluminium composition on the microstructure development, including the phase analysis was characterised by optical microscope (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and x-ray diffraction (XRD). The mechanical property of Mg sample was performed through Vickers microhardness. The results showed that the addition of aluminium in the synthesised Mg sample formed distribution of Al-rich phases of Mg17Al12, with 50 wt.% of aluminium content in the Mg sample exhibited larger fraction and distribution of Al-rich phases as compared to the 20 wt.% and 10 wt.% of aluminium content. The microhardness values were also increased at 20 wt.% and 50 wt.% of aluminium content, comparable to the standard microhardness value of the annealed Mg. A similar trend in corrosion resistance of the Mg immersed in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution was observed. The corrosion behaviour was evaluated based on potentiodynamic polarisation behaviour. The corrosion current density, icorr, is observed to decrease with the increase of Al composition in the Mg sample, corresponding to the increase in corrosion resistance due to the formation of aluminium oxide layer on the Al-rich surface that acted as the corrosion barrier. Overall, the inclusion of aluminium in this study demonstrates the promising development of high corrosion resistant Mg alloys.

Osteogenic Activity

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.
