In the ongoing research on the application of biodegradable materials, surface treatment of is considered to be a relatively effective solution to the excessive degradation rates of Mg alloys. In this study, to further optimize the proven effective surface coatings of fluoride, a low-voltage preparation fluorination method was used to achieve coating effectiveness under safer conditions. Optical observation, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and potential dynamic polarization (PDP) experiments were used for the analysis and evaluation. The coating characteristics of the MgF2 coatings treated in the 10–90 V voltage range, including the structure, chemical conformation, and electrochemical corrosion assessment, were fully defined. The anodic fluoridation results showed that a pore structure of 1–14 μm thickness was formed on the Mg alloy substrate, and the coating was composed of Mg fluoride. The results of immersion corrosion and electrochemical corrosion experiments showed that compared with pure Mg, anodic fluorinated samples below 40 V exhibited better corrosion resistance, the prepared MgF2 coating was more uniform, and the surface mostly exhibited point corrosion. When the voltage reached or exceeded 60 V, the prepared coating exhibited poor corrosion resistance, fracture, and protrusions. After corrosion, it mostly exhibited surface corrosion. The results indicate that idealized coatings can be obtained at relatively low and safe voltage ranges. This finding may enable more economical, environmentally friendly, and safe preparation of coatings.

The rare earth (RE) modified chromizing coating was obtained on P110 oil casing tube steel (P110 steel) substrate by means of pack cementation technique to enhance the resistance against corrosion of P110 steel. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were employed to research microstructure, composition distribution and phase constitution of the chromizing coating. The effect of minor addition of RE on the microstructure of chromizing was discussed. Corrosion resistance of chromizing coating was investigated and compared with that of bare P110 steel via electrochemical corrosion and immersion corrosion in simulated oilfield brine solution, respectively. The results showed that a uniform, continuous and compact coating was formed on P110 steel. The coating with RE addition was more compact than that of the coating added no RE, and a small amount of RE addition could promote the chromizing procedure notably. From SEM and EDX investigation, it had been confirmed that the coating was composed of two different layers, an out layer and an inner layer; the coating mainly contains Fe and Cr; the concentration of Cr decreased as the distance from the surface increased, yet Fe presented the inverse trend. XRD analysis indicated the coating was built up by (Cr, Fe)23C6 referring to the out layer, (Cr, Fe)7C3, Cr7C3 and α-(Cr, Fe) corresponding to the inner layer. Electrochemical corrosion consequence was obtained as follows: the self-corroding electric potential of chromizing coating was higher, and the corrosion current density was lower than that of bare P110 steel, which revealed that chromizing coating had better anti-corrosion performance; immersion corrosion results demonstrated the mass loss of chromized P110 steel was lower, and this meant that chromizing coating had a better corrosion resistance than that of bare P110 steel on the experimental condition. A compact (Cr, Fe)xCy coating can be fabricated by pack cementation technique. As a result of minor RE addition, microstructure and corrosion resistance of the chromizing coating are improved obviously.

Hot dip tin coating was obtained on AZ91D magnesium alloy surface, and interfacial reactions between Sn coating and electroless Ni-P plating was studied. The results show: after 220±5°C, 2h diffusion, the intermetallic compounds possessed corresponding thickness, and Ni3P layer along the interface acted as a good diffusion barrier between Sn and Ni. When Ni3Sn4 spread to the surface, microcracks were observed on the surface. Corrosion resistance of Ni(P)-Sn coating before and after diffusion was investigated with polarization curves. The results show: Ni(P)-Sn coating significantly enhance the corrosion potential of base material, but after the Ni3Sn4 growth to the surface, it caused electrochemical corrosion and decreased the corrosion resistance.

AbstractWorkpiece will face corrosive problems during its application after the manufacturing process. As the common final process, grinding can generate special metamorphic layer on the surface of workpiece and change the initial corrosion resistance of workpiece. In order to study the corrosion resistance of workpiece after grinding process, the paper carries on combining experiment of grinding and electrochemical corrosion. The characteristic of corrosion resistance of grinding is revealed based on the association of grinding mechanism and electrochemical theory. The corrosion potential of workpiece after grinding is higher than matrix, which shows the grinding surface is difficult to begin to corrode. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) shows the grinding surface has large phase angle, impedance and capacitance characteristic because the metamorphic layer of grinding has good obstructive ability. They reveal that grinding improves the surface corrosion resistance of workpiece. Then the mechanism of the corrosion resistance of grinding is revealed. The special grain boundary formed in grinding with much C element, large clusters and complex shape prolongs the corrosion channel, which reduces the corrosive speed. While, the sensitive hardening structure generated in grinding hardening with much free energy is easy to form the corrosion cell, which will accelerate the corrosion.

Electrochemical corrosion behavior of ternary tin-zinc-yttrium (Sn-9Zn-xY) solder alloys were investigated in aerated 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution using potentiodynamic polarization techniques, and the microstructure evolution was obtained by scanning electron microscope (SEM). Eight different compositions of Sn-9Zn-xY (x = 0, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06, 0.08, 0.10, 0.20, and 0.30 wt.%) were compared by melting. The experimental results show that when the content of Y reached 0.06 wt.%, the grain size of Zn-rich phase became the smallest and the effect of grain refinement was the best, but there was no significant effect on the melting point. With the increases of Y content, the spreading ratio first increased and then decreased. When the content of Y was 0.06 wt.%, the Sn-9Zn-0.06Y solder alloy had the best wettability on the Cu substrate, which was increased by approximately 20% compared with Sn-9Zn. Besides, the electrochemical corrosion experimental shows that the Y can improve the corrosion resistance of Sn-9Zn system in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution, and the corrosion resistance of the alloy is better when the amount of Y added is larger within 0.02–0.30 wt.%. Overall considering all performances, the optimal performance can be obtained when the addition amount of Y is 0.06.

Despite of its excellence magnetic quality, one of the critical properties of PrFeB based permanent magnet is a low corrosion resistance so it can be oxidized easily which can reduce its magnetic properties. In this study, Nickel coating has been performed for bonded PrFeB magnet by the electroplating method using Nickel-Watts bath-type as the electrolyte to improve the corrosion resistance. The varying amount of the electrolyte compounds used to have the optimized composition indicated by the corrosion resistance measurement. The solution composition used was NiSO4 (230-380 g/L), NiCl2 (30-60 g/L), and H3BO3 (30 and 45 g/L) with a fixed value of other parameters. Characterization used including the immersion corrosion test, microstructure analysis, and magnetic properties. Based on the corrosion rate measurement, the highest corrosion resistant of Nickel coated PrFeB magnet achieved from the electrolyte composition of NiSO4: NiCl2: H3BO3 = 380: 60: 30 g/L with a plating time and current density (J) of 60 minutes and 40 mA/cm2 respectively. The corrosion rate data showed that the Nickel metal coating can improve the corrosion resistance of bonded PrFeB magnet up to 29 times than of the substrate. The SEM images showed that the thickness of the Nickel coating on the optimum electrolyte composition was in average value of 35.1 µm. The overall samples has a magnetic remanence value (Br) reached ≥ 6 kG, so it has enough properties to be applied in devices such as generators and electric motors.

The NiTi alloy (50.6 at.% Ni) passivated for 30 min at 130°C by autoclaving has been studied towards corrosion resistance in aqueous solutions of 3% NaCl, 0.1 M H2SO4, 1 M H2SO4 and HBSS. Structure and thickness of the passive layer (TiO2, rutile) were examined by X-ray reflectivity method and high resolution electron microscopy. Corrosion behavior of this oxide layer was investigated by open circuit potential method and polarization curves. It was found that the corrosion resistance of the passivated NiTi alloy is strongly dependent on the type of corrosive environment. The higher corrosion resistance of the tested samples was revealed in sulfate solutions as compared to chloride ones. The highest resistance to electrochemical corrosion of the NiTi alloy was observed in 0.1 M H2SO4 solution. Susceptibility to pitting corrosion of the tested samples was observed which increased with the concentration rise of chlorine anions in solution. Electrochemical tests for 316L stainless steel carried out under the same experimental conditions revealed a weaker corrosion resistance in all solutions as compared to the highly corrosion resistant NiTi alloy.
