In this paper, the alternate immersion corrosion test of Cr-Mo-V series SDCM steel for hot stamping was carried out, and different stresses were loaded with self-made fixture. The results shown that regardless of hardness and stress, the corrosion mode of the material is uniform corrosion. Stress could significantly increase the corrosion rate, with lower hardness and higher corrosion rate. Because of the existence of Corrosion Removal Layer (CRL), the maximum corrosion pit depth would be reduced. The maximum corrosion pit depth and Corrosion Pit density (CPD, ρv) were used to describe the degree of corrosion damage. From low to high hardness, the CPD ρv and corrosion resistance increased gradually. With the increased of tempering temperature, the hardness decreased, and the percentage of carbide area in the field of view increased from 16.36% to 24.32%. The irregular spherical carbide M23(C, N)6 rich in Cr coarsens and consumes Cr element in the material, which lead to the decrease of corrosion resistance. Through the polarization curve of the dynamic potential, we known that the current density was increased with the hardness decreased, from 28.53 μA/mm2 to 40.93 μA/mm2.

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.

: A comparative study of the corrosive resistance and dross formation of 55Al–Zn–1.6Si (wt%) (55AZS) and 23Al–Zn–0.3Si–xMg (wt%) (23AZS–xMg, x = 0, 1.5, 3) alloys are performed using immersion corrosion and dross formation test, respectively. The result of immersion corrosion testing shows that corrosive rate of the 23AZS alloy is lower than that of 55AZS alloy in the latter stage of immersion and 23AZS–1.5Mg alloy shows the optimal corrosive resistance compared to other alloys relatively. The result of dross formation test shows that the number of bottom dross particle formed in 23AZS–xMg (x = 0, 1.5, 3) alloy is less than that in 55AZS alloy. Moreover, the thermodynamic calculation is performed to reveal the solubility of Fe in the alloys, the result shows the solubility of Fe reduces as a decrease of Al content in the alloy, and the number of dross particle (Fe4Al13 and 6 (Al9Fe2Si2) phase) generated in 23AZS alloy is more than that in 55AZS alloy. In general, 23AZS–1.5Mg alloy has an advantage of less dross and a certain corrosion resistance and it is expected to be applied for the hot stamping process of coating.

Based on the real annual average value of atmospheric environmental data in the Wanning area of Hainan Province in China by selecting 7075 ultra-high-strength aluminum alloy specimens for aviation, a new corrosion solution was designed and the traditional alternate immersion corrosion method of using the alternate immersion corrosion test box was improved to simulate the environment of the internal structure of the aircraft. On this basis, two kinds of corrosion damage parameters, the depth of corrosion pits and corrosion rate, were quickly and accurately obtained by the three-dimensional profile of the specimen and binarization images’ method. The optimal linear regression equation combination of pitting depth and corrosion rate was established, and the dynamic evolution equation of the depth of corrosion pits and corrosion rate was obtained. The results showed that: The depth of corrosion pits in the early stage of corrosion (8 h and 24 h) obeyed the Gumbel distribution and Weibull distribution, respectively, and the later stage (48 h, 72 h, 96 h, and 120 h) conformed to the normal distribution; the depth of corrosion pits’ evolution law was in the form of double straight lines and the corrosion rate evolution law was in the power function form (y = a × xb); and the depth of corrosion pits changed rapidly in the early stage and gradually slowed down in the later stage, while the corrosion rate was just the opposite.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to analyse the corrosion behaviour of gas-borided layers produced on Inconel 600-alloy. Two types of the borided layers were produced: fully borided and partially borided layer. The results obtained for gas-borided specimens were compared to untreated Inconel 600-alloy. Design/methodology/approach: In this paper, gas boriding in N2-H2-BCl3 atmosphere was applied to produce the boride layers on Inconel 600-alloy. This process was carried out at 910°C (1193 K) for 2 h. Microstructure observations were carried out using a light microscope. The hardness measurements were performed using a Vickers method under a load of 0.981 N. In order to evaluate the corrosion resistance, the immersion corrosion test in a boiling solution of H2O, H2SO4 and Fe2(SO4)3 was used. Findings: The gas-borided layers consisted of a mixture of nickel borides (Ni3B, Ni2B, Ni4B3, NiB) and chromium borides (CrB, Cr2B). The high thickness of compact boride layer (76-79 μm) as well as high hardness (up to 2061 HV) were obtained. Based on corrosion resistance tests it was found that in case of untreated sample the strong intergrannular attack was observed. Whereas the corrosion behavior ofgas-borided Inconel 600-alloy was more complicated and resulted from the surface condition. Research limitations/implications: The obtained results indicated that gas-boriding in N2-H2-BCl3 atmosphere could be a suitable corrosion protection if the whole surface would be covered with boride layer. Practical implications: The parameters of gas boriding in N2-H2-BCl3 atmosphere used in this study (temperature of 910°C for 2 h) allowed to produced layers of a higher thickness in comparison with other acceptable method of boriding e.g. powder-pack boriding. Originality/value: Based on the results it was found that gas-boriding in N2-H2-BCl3 atmosphere is a suitable method to protect Inconel 600-alloy from corrosion.

Sulfolane-induced corrosion can lead to severe impairment in industrial systems. Therefore, determination of solvent corrosivity is valid. Under standard conditions, pure sulfolane is considered to be thermally stable and chemically inert, hence non-aggressive towards carbon/stainless steel. Unfortunately, the sulfolane-evoked corrosion of the industrial installations is observed for sulfolane-based systems polluted by small quantities of oxygen, water and some oxidizing agents. Moreover, sulfolane decomposition with formation of corrosive (by-)products can be escalated by some process parameters, e.g., temperature. The main objective of this study was to determine the corrosion resistance of AISI 1010 steel immersed in sulfolane at temperatures ranging from 25 to 230 °C. Evaluation of the corrosion damage was carried out using electrochemical techniques and scanning probe/electron microscopy, respectively. The general corrosion tendency, corrosion rate and surface corrosion degree were taken into account as well. It was noticed that the corrosion rate linearly increases with the enhancement of sulfolane temperature. Moreover, the interfacial reaction of steel with sulfolane resulted in the formation of corrosion product layer, which is a physical barrier between the corrosive environment and steel improving corrosion resistance of the latter. In fact, the increment of the sulfolane temperature caused a gradual breakdown of the protective layer and the increase in the corrosion degree of the investigated steel. Finally, it was found that the corrosion degree doubles approximately every 42 °C.

Surface nano-crystallization (SNC) of a conform-extruded Cu-0.4 wt.% Mg alloy was successfully conducted by high-speed rotating wire-brushing to obtain the deformed zone with dislocation cells and nanocrystallines. SNC promotes the anodic dissolution and corrosion rate of the Cu-Mg alloy in the initial stage of immersion corrosion in 0.1 M NaCl solution. The weakened corrosion resistance is mainly attributed to the higher corrosion activity of SNC-treated alloy. With extending the immersion time, the SNC-treated alloy slows the corrosion rate dramatically and exhibits uniform dissolution of the surface. The formation of the dense corrosion products leads to the improvement of overall corrosion performance. It indicates that the SNC-treated Cu-Mg alloy can function reliably for a longer duration in a corrosive environment.

Abstract The effect of adding cerium on the microstructure and acid rain corrosion resistance of the AlSi11Cu3 alloy was investigated by means of optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and energy dispersive spectroscopy. The AlSi11Cu3 alloy was doped with varying stoichiometries of cerium to generate AlSi11Cu3-xCe, where x = 0, 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 wt.%. The results show that the α-Al, eutectic Si, and β-Al5FeSi phases in the AlSi11Cu3-1.0Ce alloy are significantly refined. Electrochemical tests demonstrated an increase in the self-corrosion potential value of the AlSi11Cu3-1.0Ce alloy from –670 mV to –628 mV relative to the untreated alloy. In addition, the AlSi11Cu3-1.0Ce alloy has the lowest corrosion current density (8.4 μA × cm–2). Immersion corrosion testing on the AlSi11Cu3-1.0Ce alloy revealed a corrosion rate of 0.71 mg × cm–2 × d–1, constituting a 72% reduction in the corrosion rate compared to the untreated alloy. These results indicate that the AlSi11Cu3-1.0Ce alloy has a high resistance to acid rain corrosion, which is the result of a refinement of the cathode phases.

Conversion coating in metal material was a method to control the corrosion. It applied in parts of car, aircraft, factory installation, and other appliances. There were three types of conversion coating: phosphate conversion coating, chromate conversion coating, and oxalate conversion coating. There were several aspects to consider in controlling the corrosion fully. This research used phosphate because phosphate conversion coating had a low corrosion rate, affordable production cost, and environmentally friendly. This research aimed to find out the corrosion resistance of ST37 carbon steel using phosphate conversion coating in various immersion durations. Therefore, the result was a breakthrough in using phosphate conversion coating for the industries. This research used the weight loss method to calculate the corrosion rate and macro photos to obtain the corrosion form during the test. This research used ST37 carbon steel with 100 mm x 30 mm x 10 mm as the specimen and phosphate with various coating durations (10, 20, and 30 minutes). Each variation had three specimens, so this research had nine specimens in total. This research calculated the daily corrosion rate for seven days using 5% NaCl as the corrosion solution. The average corrosion rate in specimens with 10 minutes duration was 1.9599 mpy, specimens with 20 minutes immersion was 1.7647 mpy, whereas specimens with 30 minutes duration were 1.3287 mpy. Thus, the longer immersion duration created a smaller corrosion rate. Also, the corrosion formed during the test was pitting and uniform corrosion.

ZrC films with high hardness were deposited on A3 steel by ion-beam-assisted deposition and had a corrosion rate more than two orders less and a corrosion potential 0.19 V greater than those of the bare A3 steel. The corrosion current of ZrC films was 10 times less and the polarization resistance at least 7.82 times higher than those of both Teflon and ZrN films, respectively. The experimental results confirmed that ZrC films notably enhanced the corrosion resistance of steels.

On newly developed Febalance-18Cr-7Mn-3Mo-3W-0.4N-(0.03, 0.57)Ni (in wt%) lean duplex stainless steels, the microstructure, element partitioning behavior, and resistance to pitting corrosion were investigated. After solution treatments, the two alloys were found to have similar microstructures in terms of phase fraction and grain size, and have a precipitation-free matrix. The polarization tests revealed that the addition of Ni was beneficial to improve the resistance to pitting corrosion, which was confirmed by the rise in pitting and repassivation potentials. The uniform corrosion behavior and galvanic corrosion rate of the matrix were investigated to explain the improved pitting corrosion resistance of the Ni-added lean duplex stainless steel. As a result, it was found that the addition of Ni enhanced the resistance to uniform corrosion by reducing the galvanic corrosion rate between the ferrite and austenite phases in the lean duplex stainless steel; thus, the pit growth rate was decreased, leading to improvement of the resistance to pitting corrosion.
