The effect of iron and yttrium additions on glass forming ability and corrosion resistance of Al88Y8-xFe4+x (x = 0, 1, 2 at.%) alloys in the form of ingots and melt-spun ribbons was investigated. The crystalline multiphase structure of ingots and amorphous-crystalline structure of ribbons were examined by a number of analytical techniques including X-ray diffraction, Mössbauer spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. It was confirmed that the higher Fe additions contributed to formation of amorphous structures. The impact of chemical composition and structure of alloys on their corrosion resistance was characterized by electrochemical tests in 3.5% NaCl solution at 25 °C. The identification of the mechanism of chemical reactions taking place during polarization test along with the morphology and internal structure of the surface oxide films generated was performed. It was revealed that the best corrosion resistance was achieved for the Al88Y7Fe5 alloy in the form of ribbon, which exhibited the lowest corrosion current density (jcorr = 0.09 μA/cm2) and the highest polarization resistance (Rp = 96.7 kΩ∙cm2).

Economizers are widely employed in the boiler system to increase efficiency and save energy. However one prominent problem is the severe corrosion of economizer due to the decrease of the exhaust temperature of boiler. Ni–P/Cu/Ni-P multilayer coatings, which could effectively improve the corrosion resistance of the facilities in economizer, are introduced in the present work. The three-layer coatings, whose composition is Ni–P/Cu/Ni-P from substrate to surface, were prepared using dual baths (acidic hypophosphite-reduced electroless nickel bath and acidic replacement electroless copper bath). The corrosion resistance of the coatings was evaluated by porosity and electrochemical tests. The results of porosity evaluation show that all the multilayer coatings performed better than the single-layer coatings of similar thickness. Similarly, The electrochemical tests showed lower corrosion current density for the multilayer coatings in 3.5 wt.% NaCl aqueous solutions.

Herein, we investigated the effects of Ce on the corrosion behavior of NdFeB magnets in 3.5% NaCl solutions using electrochemical tests, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) mapping, and scanning Kelvin probe force microscopy (SKPFM). We demonstrated that Ce markedly enhances the corrosion resistance of NdFeB magnets. Ce primarily replaces Nd in the Nd-rich phase instead of matrix phase, increasing the surface potential of the Nd-rich phase. An increase in the Ce content from 0 to 5.21 wt%, decreased the potential difference between the main phase and (Nd, Ce)-rich phase from 350.2 mV to 97.7 mV; therefore, the corrosion resistance of the magnetic materials increased. The corrosion resistance constituted the Nd-rich phase < the void < metal matrix. Moreover, based on the results of the study, we discussed the impact mechanism of additions of Ce on the corrosion resistance of the magnets.

The effect of Co substitution for Be on the glass-forming ability and mechanical properties was investigated in Ti35Zr30Be27.5-xCu7.5Cox (x=0, 3.5, 7.5, 11.5 at.%) alloys by using X-ray diffractometry (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and compression test. With the substitution of Co for Be, glass-forming ability (GFA) is significantly enhanced and fully amorphous rods with a diameter of up to 12 mm were produced in the alloy with 3.5 and 7.5 at.% Co. The Ti35Zr30Be24Cu7.5Co3.5 bulk glassy alloy exhibits good plasticity of 4% during compressive applied load at ambient temperature in conjunction with distinct yield strain of 2% and high fracture strength of 2196 MPa. The effect of the addition of Co on the structure and deformation behavior of the Ti35Zr30Be27.5-xCu7.5Cox (x=0, 3.5, 7.5, 11.5 at.%) alloys is discussed.

A new passivation process has been developed for producing a chrome-free and coloured conversion coating on aluminium alloy AA6063 with K2ZrF6. The conversion coating obtained has a dark film, which enables visual assessment of the coating development and coating quality during processing. The colouring effect is a significant advantage over the zirconium based conversion coatings currently used in the industry, which are largely colourless. The new treatment process is simple and allows a uniform coating to be formed within a few minutes. The composition and the surface morphology of the coatings were characterized. The corrosion resistance of the coated samples was evaluated by electrochemical tests. Through electrochemical analysis, corrosion current of the coatings is low, it has excellent corrosion resistance; SEM, EDS and XRD are used to analyze the process coating.

We developed novel Ti-Zr-Be-Co bulk metallic glasses through Co addition based on a ternary Ti45Zr20Be35 alloy. By altering the alloying routes and alloying contents, the influence of Co alloying on glass-forming ability, thermal stability, thermoplastic formability, crystallization behavior, and corrosion resistance has been investigated systematically. It was found that the best alloying route for enhancing the glass-forming ability, thermoplastic formability, compressive plasticity, and corrosion resistance is to replace Be by Co. Ti45Zr20Be23Co12 possesses the largest critical diameter of 15 mm for glass formation. Ti45Zr20Be27Co8 possesses the highest thermoplastic formability which is comparable to that of Vitreloy alloys. Ti45Zr20Be25Co10 exhibits the largest room temperature plasticity of 15.7% together with a high specific strength of 3.90 × 105 Nm/kg. The addition of Co also strongly affects the crystallization behavior of the base alloy, resulting in a more complex crystallization process. The corrosion resistance of Ti-Zr-Be alloy in 1 mol/L HCl solution can also be enhanced by Co alloying. The related mechanisms have been explained in detail, which provide guidance for the composition design of Ti-based metallic glasses with improved properties.
