Zinc protective coatings on high carbon SWRH82B-1 steel were sherardized to markedly improve corrosion resistance of the high-strength steel bridge cable wires (SBCW). Sherardizing parameters have been optimized by optical microscopy (OM) /scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and potentiodynamic polarization tests. The sherardizing coatings are composed of the loose outer layer (§-FeZn13 phase) and the dense inner layer (δ- FeZn7 phase) with higher hardness. Addition of Y2O3 activator slightly increases the corrosion resistance of sherardized steel wire in comparison with CeO2. A thicker coating corresponds to a higher sherardizing temperature or a longer heating duration, but an extra thick coating is unfavorable for thru-microcrack existed in the inner layer. Good quality of sherardized wires ( higher corrosion resistance and longer duration than conditional hot-dip-galvanized one) can be produced with the zinc-rich powder containing 7.5wt.% CeO2 activator and 25wt. % SiO2 filler under 400°Cfor 6h.

Abstract To maintain surface roughness of process rolls in cold rolling steel plants, WC-Co coatings have been known to be effective ones. In this study, a high pressure/high velocity oxygen fuel (HP/HVOF) process was used to obtain WC-Co coatings. To get the best quality of coatings, WC-Co coatings are sprayed with numerous powders made by various processes. These powders include agglomerated sintered powders, fused-crushed powders, extra high carbon WC-Co powders and (W2C, WC)-Co powders. After spraying, properties of coatings such as hardness, wear resistance. X-ray diffraction, and microstructures were analyzed. For coatings produced by agglomerated-sintered powders, hardness of the coating increased as power levels and the number of passes were increased. In case of the coatings produced by fused-crushed powders, a very low deposition rate was obtained due to a low flowablity of the powders. In addition, the WC-Co coatings sprayed with extra carbon content of WC-Co did not show improved hardness and wear resistance. Also, some decomposition of WC was observed in the coating. Finally, the coatings produced by (W2C, WC)-Co powders produced higher hardness and lower wear resistance coating.

This work researches the influence of the nickel content on the structural and anticorrosive properties of ZrSiTiN films deposited by means of reactive co-sputtering on alloys of Ti6Al4V. The morphology and structure were analyzed by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), and the chemical composition was identified via X-ray scattering spectroscopy (EDS). The corrosion resistance was studied using potentiodynamic polarization (PP) tests employing a 3.5% by weight NaCl solution. In the films, an increase of Ni up to 6.97 at% was observed, while in XRD the FCC phase of (Zr, Ti) N was identified, with a mixed orientation in planes (111) and (200), which tended to diminish with the increase of Ni. Finally, with the addition of Ni, the corrosion current densities were reduced from 5.56 𝑥 10−8 to 2.64 𝑥 10−9 𝐴/𝑐m2. The improvement in the corrosion resistance is due to the effect of the Ni on the microstructure of the system (Zr, Ti) N, which can improve the quality of the passive film and prevent crystalline defects and corrosion zones.
