Abstract The titanium bioactivity could be increased by surface nanostructuring. Titanium alloys are using for dental implants manufacturing. It represents a specific problem because of using of the dental treatments with high concentration of fluoride ions and with acidic pH. The corrosion resistance of nanostructured surface of titanium beta alloy in environments with fluoride ions was examined by common electrochemical technique. The electrochemical impedance measurement showed high corrosion resistance in physiological solution. The fluoride ions have expected negative influence on corrosion behaviour of the layer. The nanotube bottom was preferentially attacked which resulted in layer undercoroding and its detachment.

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) films have been intensively studied with a view to improving orthopaedic implants. Studies have indicated smoothness of the surface, low friction, high wear resistance, corrosion resistance and biocompatibility [1-4]. DLC coatings can be deposited using various techniques, such as plasma assisted chemical vapour deposition (PACVD), magnetron sputtering, laser ablation, and others [5]. However it has proved difficult to obtain films which exhibit good adhesion. The plasma immersion process, unlike the conventional techniques, allows the deposition of DLC on three-dimensional workpieces, even without moving the sample, without an intermediate layer, and with high adhesion [6], an important aspect for orthopaedic articulations. In our previous work, DLC coatings were deposited on silicon and Ti-13Nb-13Zr alloy substrates using the plasma immersion process for the characterization of microstructure, mechanical properties and corrosion behaviour [7-9]. Hardness, measured by a nanoindenter, ranged from 16.4-17.6 GPa, the pull test results indicate the good adhesion of DLC coatings to Ti-13Nb-13Zr, and electrochemical assays (polarization test and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy) indicate that DLC coatings produced by plasma immersion can improve the corrosion resistance [9].

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to study systematically the corrosion behavior of AZ31 magnesium (Mg) alloy with different concentrations of bovine serum albumin (BSA) (0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 5.0 g/L). Design/methodology/approach Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and potential dynamic polarization tests were performed to obtain corrosion parameters. Scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) was used to analyze the local electrochemical activity of the surface film. Atomic force microscope (AFM), Scanning electron microscope-Energy dispersive spectrometer and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy were used to determine the surface morphology and chemical composition of the surface film. Findings Experimental results showed the presence of BSA in a certain concentration range (0 to 2.0 g/L) has a greater inhibitory effect on the corrosion of AZ31, however, the presence of high-concentration BSA (5.0 g/L) would sharply reduce the corrosion resistance. Originality/value When the concentration of BSA is less than 2.0 g/L, the corrosion resistance of AZ31 enhances with the concentration. The adsorption BSA layer will come into being a physical barrier to inhibit the corrosion process. However, high-concentration BSA (5.0 g/L) will chelate with dissolved metal ions (such as Mg and Ni) to form soluble complexes, which increases the roughness of the surface and accelerates the corrosion process.

This work seeks to understand the underlying mechanism involved in passivity of Ni-Cr-Mo alloys in a less concentrated HCl solution (1M) by systematically varying contents of Cr and Mo solutes in model Ni-Cr-Mo alloys. Corrosion behaviour was evaluated based on potentiodynamic polarisation tests carried out in conjunction with electrochemical impedance and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopies of passive films that formed on alloys during their exposure to the HCl solution. Results have shown that an increase in Mo alone is not sufficient to improve the corrosion resistance of the alloys at lower concentrations of HCl. Optimum concentrations of Cr and Mo solutes have been found to be in the vicinity of ~17 wt.% Cr and ~19 wt.% Mo for superior corrosion resistance of the alloys. This was attributed to the protection of the Cr2O3 layer as a consequence of the enrichment of Mo6+ ions in the passive film in 1M HCl solution.

Considering the good corrosion resistance of Zn-Ni alloy, it is selected in the present study to be the protective coating on mild steel and it is considered as a strong candidate for the replacement of environmentally hazardous cadmium. Zn-Ni alloy coating is applied by electrodeposition at optimum temperature, current density and time. The bath solution used is consisting of EDTA as complexing agent. The electrodeposition is also carried out with tartaric acid and benzaldehyde additives to have good corrosion resistance and brightness. The electrodeposits obtained with and without additives are examined for nature and alloy composition. The corrosion behaviour of the electrodeposits is studied by Tafel polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy.

Chloride bath containing ZnCl2 ∙7H2O, FeCl2 ∙H2O and a combination of sulphamic acid and citric acid (SA+CA) were optimized for electrodeposition of bright Zn-Fe alloy coating on the mild steel. Bath constituents and operating parameters were optimized by the Hull cell method for highest performance of the coating against corrosion. The effect of current density and temperature on deposit characteristics such as corrosion resistance, hardness, thickness, cathode current efficiency and glossiness, were studied. Potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopic (EIS) methods were used to assess corrosion behaviour. Surface morphology of coatings was examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The Zn-Fe alloy with intense peaks corresponding to Zn (100) and Zn (101) phases, evidenced by X-ray diffraction (XRD) study, showed the highest corrosion resistance. A new and economical chloride bath for electrodeposition of bright Zn-Fe alloy coating on mild steel was proposed and discussed.

In this study, the microstructural evolutions and corrosion resistance of aluminium/copper joint fabricated through explosive welding process have been thoroughly investigated, while stand-off distance was variable. Microstructural analyses demonstrate that, regardless of grain refinement in the welding boundary, increasing the stand-off space is followed by a higher thickness of the localized melting pool. X-Ray diffraction (XRD) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) analyses recognized the binary intermetallic layers as a combination of Al2Cu and AlCu. Polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) corrosion tests revealed that a higher stand-off distance resulted in the increment of corrosion potential, current rate, and concentration gradient at the interface owing to the remarkable kinetic energy of the collision, which impaired corrosion resistance.

The electrochemical behavior of a three Ag-Pd alloys used in dental prosthetics construction for crowns and bridges was studied in artificial saliva using the polarization curves and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The corrosion resistance was evaluated by means of the corrosion currents value and by coulometric analysis. The open circuit potential of Ag-Pd are attributed to dealloying followed by surface enrichment with Ag and the possible formation of an insoluble AgCl surface film on the respective alloy surfaces. Our results have shown that these alloys have a somewhat good corrosion resistance in artificial saliva. When increasing the content of Cu, corrosion resistance decreases. The passivation of all samples occurred spontaneously at the open circuit potential. The electrochemical properties of the spontaneously passivated electrodes at the open circuit potential were studied by EIS. The polarization resistance (Rp) and the electrode capacitance (Cdl) were determined. The polarisation resistance of all the samples increases with the immersion time. The polarization resistances are largest and decrease when increasing the content of Cu. Cu reduces the Ag-Pd alloy corrosion resistance. The present study, thought limited, has shown that electrochemical characteristics can be use to identify such alloys. Knowledge of the in vitro corrosion behaviour of these alloys may lead to better understanding of any biologically adverse effects in vitro.

Abstract As AA 7075 T651 comprehensively is used in the marine naval vessels, the factor of corrosion performance always plays a significant role. In this work, an investigation is carried out to study the effect of corrosion behaviour of shot peened AA 7075 T651 in 3.5% solution. From the potentiodynamic polarization study, a 27.72% decrease is ascertained in the Icorr in shot peened specimen in correlation to unpeened aluminium alloy. A drop in Icorr from 1.883 to 1.480 mA/cm2 in shot peened specimen, indicates enhanced pitting corrosion resistance. An electrochemical impedance spectroscopy reveals a surge in the oxide layer formation on the peened surface aiding the drop in corrosion rate. Resistance to pit formations and improvement in oxygen deposition in the peened specimen is observed availing a Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-Ray analysis (EDX). The micro structures of the peened and unpeened specimen are captured using optical microscopy and Transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Micro-strain, dislocation density is also calculated from the X- ray diffraction analysis (XRD), in which grain size reduces by 28.07%, dislocation density surges by 38.65% and micro strain increases by 21.95% in peened specimen in correlation to unpeened AA 7075 T651, resulting in a surge in corrosion resistance by 27.92% in the peened specimen in correlation to unpeened aluminium alloy.

Abstract Electroplated protective thin film is highly promising materials for advanced applications such as high corrosion resistance and energy conversion and storage. This work is to investigate the effect of Co content and TiO2 on the corrosion resistance of Ni–xCo–yTiO2 nanocomposites in alkaline media. The nanocrystalline Ni–xCo–yTiO2 composites were electroplated using the sulfate-gluconate bath containing the suspended TiO2 nanograins under ultrasound waves and mechanical stirring. The microstructure and corrosion behavior of the electroplated Ni–xCo–yTiO2 nanocomposites have been investigated via X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques. The XRD pattern of the electroplated Ni–Co matrices with 1–75% of cobalt arranged in face-centered cubic (FCC) system, while the electroplated Ni–Co matrices of further Co% more than 76% converted to hexagonal closed-package (HCP) crystal system. The surface of the Ni–xCo–yTiO2 nanocomposites after immersion in 1.0 M KOH electrolytes was investigated via SEM, atomic force microscopy and EDX. The results displayed that the rate of corrosion of the different composites decreased by combining Ni, Co and the inclusion of TiO2. The improved corrosion resistance of Ni–47Co–3.77TiO2 composites is due to the formation of Ni/Co oxy/hydroxide layer and rebelling effect of OH− by TiO2 sites, which reduces the attacking effect of OH−, O2, and H2O, and notably retards the overall corrosion processes.

Lightweight steel-aluminium structures have broad application prospects because of their lowering weight characteristics, however, the corrosion of welding-brazing joints in steel-aluminium structures is less concerned or studied. In this paper, the corrosion behaviour of the Laser-MIG hybrid welding-brazing joints of steel-aluminium is investigated through the tests and analysis of salt spray, immersion and electrochemistry. The salt spray and immersion tests show that obvious galvanic corrosion occurs at the welded joints, in which the aluminium side is seriously corroded while the steel side is not corroded. The OCP values of the aluminium alloy and the weld metal are similar (approximately -0.48 V), and the stainless steel has a higher OCP value of -0.33 V. The corrosion resistance of the weld metal is lower than aluminium- as well as steel-base materials. The corrosion resistance of the joints is controlled by the aluminium alloy part of the two metals based on the open-circuit potential and EIS analysis. A possible corrosion process schematic for the physical/chemical properties of a welding-brazing joint immersed in a sodium chloride solution is proposed according to electrochemical impedance spectroscopy.
