Al-Mn alloy coatings were electrodeposited on an iron substrate from AlCl3-NaCl-KCl low-temperature molten salts with anhydrous MnCl2 enhanced by the addition of NdCl3.The microstructure and properties of the Al-Mn alloy coatings were investigated, and scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and polarization curves were used to determine the composition, surface morphology, phase structure, and corrosion resistance of the obtained deposits. The results show that the surface coatings were smooth, and that the crystallites were dense and uniform when 0.23 wt% NdCl3 was added to the molten salt. An amorphous mixture of Al and Al6Mn was obtained. NdCl3 enhanced the corrosion resistance and increased the hardness of the single amorphous phase alloys. The pitting potential of the coating was approximately −1.04V, and its hardness was 392 kgf/mm2.

The corrosion behavior of AZ61 alloyed with 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0% Ca were studied by potentiostatic polarization technique in 3.5wt. % NaCl solution and the further effect of corrosion behavior have been studied after aging at different temperature in a controlled environment.The results show that the calcium addition enhances the corrosion resistance.Simultaneously when the alloy is aged at 180°C, the corrosion resistance has improved. This study also reveals the interesting microstructural change that isresponsible for the improved corrosion resistance. Themicrostructural characterization of this alloy was studied using Optical and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM).

Permanent magnets based on intermetallic compounds are employed in dentistry to fix dental prosthesis. However, these materials are very sensitive to corrosion. In this study the corrosion behavior of a sintered commercial Nd-Fe-B magnet has been investigated at neutral pH in a phosphate buffered solution (PBS). With this aim demagnetized specimens were immersed in the test solution and their corrosion behavior were monitored at increasing test times by means of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy ( EIS ), potentiodynamic polarization curves and surface observation by scanning electron microscopy ( SEM ). Experimental results indicated that the corrosion resistance is seriously affected in this solution. Moreover, no decrease in the intensity of the corrosive attack was verified during test periods of up 4 hours. Impedance results have indicated the occurrence of diffusion controlled phenomenon, likely linked to the presence of pores in the magnet microstructure.

The influence of small variations in the composition on the corrosion behavior of Co-Cr-Mo alloys has been studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive x-ray analysis (EDX), and electrochemical measurements. SEM and EDX data were correlated with data from in vitro corrosion measurements involving repassivation and also potentiostatic anodic polarization measurements. Specimens studied included the four alloys shown in Table 1. Corrosion tests were conducted in Hanks' physiological saline solution which has a pH of 7.4 and was held at a temperature of 37°C. Specimens were mechanically polished to a surface finish with 0.05 µm A1203, then exposed to the solution and anodically polarized at a rate of 0.006 v/min. All voltages were measured vs. the saturated calomel electrode (s.c.e.).. Specimens had breakdown potentials near 0.47V vs. s.c.e.

This article examines the influence of fly ash on corrosion resistance of refractory forsterite-spinel ceramics by molten iron as a corrosive medium. Fly ash in comparison with alumina were used as raw materials and sources of aluminium oxide for synthesis of forsterite-spinel refractory ceramics. Raw materials were milled, mixed in different ratios into two sets of mixtures and sintered at 1550°C for 2 hours. Samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis and thermal dilatometric analysis. Crucibles were then made from the fired ceramic mixtures and fired together with iron at its melting point of 1535°C for 5 hours. The corrosion resistance was evaluated by scanning electron microscopy on the transition zones between iron and ceramics. Mixtures with increased amount of spinel had higher corrosion resistance and mixtures with fly ash were comparable to mixtures with alumina in terms of corrosion resistance and refractory properties.

Ni-Fe-W-Cu alloy powders were obtained by electrodeposition from an ammonium citrate bath at current densities ranging between 70 and 600 mA cm-2. As the deposition current density increased, the contents of Fe and W in the alloy increased, and those of Ni and Cu decreased. The total cathodic polarization curve was recorded, and partial polarization curves for Ni, Fe and W deposition and hydrogen evolution were determined. The current efficiency of alloy deposition was measured. The powders contained an amorphous matrix and FCC nanocrystals of the solid solution of Fe, W and Cu in Ni. At high current densities, small-sized nanocrystals exhibiting high internal microstrain values were formed. Powder particles were dendrite- and cauliflower-shaped. The dendrites had a large number of secondary branches and higher-order branches containing interconnected globules. The density of branches was higher in particles formed at high current densities. The powders formed at high current densities exhibited higher magnetization. Annealing at temperatures up to 460?C resulted in structural relaxation, accompanied by an increase in magnetization. At temperatures above 460?C, amorphous matrix crystallization and FCC crystal growth took place, accompanied by a decrease in magnetization.

The effect of graphite shapes on the electrochemical corrosion behavior of cast iron was studied by means of weight loss tests, electrochemical measurements and electron microscopy. It was found that the electrochemical corrosion behavior of graphite is significantly different from one other, and the corrosive potential difference between carbide ad the matrix is the main driving force of the different phase corrosions. Among them, the center A type and edge D type graphite exhibited the highest corrosion resistance. The corrosion of white iron is worst, because there are so many type carbides in white iron and so there is an obvious tendency to produce micro-cell in white iron.

In the present work, the friction surfacing process was applied to manufacture aluminum alloy (AA6351) coatings on low carbon steel (AISI 1020) substrates. After friction surfacing the AA6351 deposited coatings were submitted to two finishing process in order to adjust surface roughness: milling and milling followed by sanding. The corrosion behavior of the two finishing process was compared with the as-deposited condition in order to determine the influence of surface roughness on the corrosion resistance of friction surfacing coatings. The corrosion behavior was examined by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and potentiodynamic polarization in a 3.5wt.%NaCl solution containing naturally dissolved O2. The results obtained indicated that the elevated surface roughness observed in the as-deposited condition led to relatively lower corrosion resistance in comparison, with lower values for polarization resistance and more anodic corrosion potential.

The present study compares the proventricular morphology, analyzed under optic microscope and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), among ten Grylloidea species. The result showed that the size of proventriculus was of critical value. Internally, the main differences were the number of sclerotized appendix (sa), middle denticles (md) and lateral denticles (ld), and the structure of lateral teeth (lt). In addition, we analyzed the crickets’ feeding habits and note that the the proventriculus possesses highly sclerotized projections which act in the selection of victuals. The morphology of proventriculus is closely related to feeding habits. A clustering analysis of seven features of the proventriculus was constructed. It revealed that the proventriculus had significance for taxonomy and species relationships. Observations on morphological characterization of proventricular morphology will be useful in future studies of the feeding habits and phylogeny of crickets.
