Hard nanocrystalline Ni-Co or Ni-W coatings are receiving a growing interest owing to their premium hardness, wear, and corrosion properties for several industrial applications. Furthermore, surface hydrophobicity greatly improves surface corrosion resistance. In this research, the durability of hydrophobic hierarchical NiW electrodeposited film has been evaluated in a high-speed slurry erosion–corrosion (EC) test rig. Two different coatings have been tested: a rough coating obtained in a chloride-based bath (NiWchloride) and a smooth coating obtained in a sulfate-based bath (NiWsulfate). Corrosion behavior over time was evaluated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), while surface hydrophobic performance was determined by the sessile drop method. The morphological features of the coatings were assessed by scanning electron microscopy while roughness modification during the EC tests were identified by means of an atomic force microscopy. During static immersion in the aggressive solution, the impedance modulus of the coatings continuously increased due to an increase in the thickness of corrosion products. During the EC test, the impedance modulus of the smooth NiW coating decreased, losing its barrier property. It was observed that the increase in impedance modulus of the hierarchical structure of the rough NiW coating during EC was far greater than that during static immersion. After 64 min of EC, the NiWchloride was able to resume its hydrophobicity property by storing in air; nevertheless, the NiWsulfate, with a loss of approximately 72% in its initial contact angle, was no longer hydrophobic. The results showed improvements in the lifetime of hydrophobic NiW coatings in erosion–corrosion conditions of the hierarchical nanostructure obtained in a chloride-based electroplating bath.

TiN coated films were prepared by a reactive ion physical vapor deposition method. In this research, we studied the relationships between textures and friction coefficient, erosion-corrosion resistance and corrosion resistance in textured TiN films. The surface roughness of (115) textured TiN films is lower than that of (111) textured TiN films. The friction coefficient of (115) textured surface is similar with that of (111) textured surface of TiN coated films. The erosion-corrosion and corrosion resistance of (115) textured surface is better than that of (111) textured surface of TiN coated films.

Plasma immersion ion implantation (PIII) of nitrogen is low-temperature surface technology which enables the improvement of tribological properties without a deterioration of the corrosion behavior of austenitic stainless steels. In this paper the corrosion properties of PIII-treated AISI 316L stainless steel surfaces are evaluated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), potentiodynamic polarization (PP) and exposure immersion tests (all carried out in the 0.9 wt. % NaCl solution at 37 ± 0.5 °C) and compared with a non-treated surface. Results of the three performed independent corrosion tests consistently confirmed a significant increase in the corrosion resistance after two doses of PIII nitriding.

Cr3C2–NiCr coatings have been used extensively to combat the erosion corrosion of hydro power turbine blades made of stainless steel. Cr3C2–NiCr coatings are also used in aqueous corrosive environments due to the high corrosion resistance rendered by the NiCr binder. In this investigation, both erosion and corrosion environments are introduced to cermet coating to study corrosion behavior using potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques. The cermet coatings are useful for reducing the risk of deterioration of mechanical properties of hydro power turbines due to the continuous exposure to the erosive and corrosive action of the corrosive environment containing silt. It was observed that Cr3C2–NiCr coating offered a reasonable improvement in corrosion resistance when compared to bare substrate. The corrosion behavior of the coating was studied in a 150 mL solution of 0.1 M NaCl with 2 gms of quartz particles (0.2–0.8 mm) at various rotation speeds (3000, 4500, 6000 rpm) of the solution over a 1 h immersion using potentiodynamic polarization and EIS studies in a specifically designed experimental set-up for erosion corrosion. When compared to the bare stainless steel samples at 3000 rpm and 6000 rpm, the coating showed the highest improvement at 6.57 times and the least improvement at 3.79 times, respectively.

In this work, microstructure and corrosion properties of zinc electroplated steel before and after black chromating was investigated. The test samples were prepared by electrodeposition process, using a commercially-available alkaline electrolyte. Subsequently, the galvanized samples were applied with a black chromate-based passivation layer and a clear top-coat layer. Their microstructures were examined using X-ray diffractometry and scanning electron microscopy. The corrosion resistance of the samples was assessed with the salt spray test, following the ASTM B117, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and potentiodynamic polarization in 5 wt.% NaCl solutions. The study showed that zinc electroplated steels exhibit (110) crystallographic orientation. The passivation and top-coat layers did not affect the microstructure of the zinc layer, and covered uniformly on the zinc layer for all sets of samples. The corrosion resistant results obtained from salt spray testing and electrochemical testing revealed that the microstructure of zinc coatings prepared by using different applied current did not influence on their corrosion resistance markedly. While black passivation followed by top coating provided a significant improvement on corrosion resistance of the coatings.

Abstract The actual industrial trend is focused on weight reduction of constructions while preserving strength properties. For this purpose, conventional steel are replaced by high strength steels.. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of mechanical surface pre-treatment on corrosion resistance of high strength low alloy steel Domex 700 before and after surface treatment by manganese phosphating. Tested environment was 0,1M NaCl solution. Evaluation of mechanical pre-treatment and phosphating effects on corrosion resistance was realized by electrochemical measurements: potentiodynamic polarization measurements (Tafel analysis) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (equivalent circuits). From resulsts it is possible to conclude, that creation of manganese phosphate layer on ground and shot peened steel surface significantly increases the corrosion resistance of Domex 700 steel.

The corrosion behavior of duplex Ni-P coatings deposited on AZ91 magnesium alloy was studied. The electroless deposition process of duplex Ni-P coating consisted in the preparation of low-phosphorus Ni-P coating (5.7 wt.% of P), which served as a bond coating and high-phosphorus Ni-P coating (11.5 wt.% of P) deposited on it. The duplex Ni-P coatings with the thickness of 25, 50, 75 and 100 µm were deposited on AZ91 magnesium alloy. The electrochemical corrosion behavior of coated AZ91 magnesium alloy was investigated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and potentiodynamic polarization method in 0.1 M NaCl. Obtained results showed a significant improvement in the corrosion resistance of coated specimens when compared to uncoated AZ91 magnesium alloy. From the results of the immersion tests in 3.5 wt.% NaCl, 10% solution of HCl and NaOH and 5% neutral salt spray, a noticeable increase in the corrosion resistance with the increasing thickness of the Ni-P coating was observed.

In this paper, a duplex stainless steels coating was successfully prepared on high strength low alloy (HSLA) pipeline steels by laser melting deposition. The microstructure and phase identification of the obtained coating were identified by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The tribological behavior and corrosion behavior were investigated by high-speed reciprocating friction and wear tester, polarization test, Eocp–t curves and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Results show that the obtained coating is bonded metallurgically with the substrate and comprises α, γ, M2B and (Fe, Cr)23C6 phase. In addition, the obtained coating shows nearly 22.5% improvement in wear resistance over the substrate and much better corrosion resistance due to its nobler open circuit potential (Eocp), corrosion current density (i corr) and bigger impedance value than the substrate, confirming that the laser melting deposited duplex stainless steels coating can be a promising candidate for the protective coating of HSLA pipeline steels.

The contribution is aimed at corrosion propertied and wettability of basic graded of stainless steel commonly used in medicine as a standard for construction of instruments and other applications. Samples of AISI 304 (1.4301) steel were chemical passivated by nitric acid and tested for corrosion resistance in environment of sodium hypochlorite (NaClO), which is commonly used for basic disinfection of surfaces or devices in hospital facilities. It was found that chemical passivation of stainless steel surface increases its corrosion resistance and lower corrosion rate. Passivation layer also shows more polarization resistance. The wettability of passivated surface was measured by sessile drop method. Wettability itself determinates effectivity of disinfection process as the surfaces with lower contact angle may be cleaned and disinfected with more efficiency. It was proofed that chemical passivation increases wettability by lowering contact angle of treated surface.
