The influence of temperature change of isotonic 0.9 % NaCl solution and Ringer's solution from 36 оС to 40 оС on the corrosion resistance of Ti-6Al-4V alloy with nitride and oxynitride coatings was studied. It was shown that increase of the temperature of 0.9 % NaCl and Ringer's solutions doesn′t deteriorate the protective function of oxynitride coating on Ti-6Al-4V alloy. It was determined that by increasing the temperature of Ringer's solution the corrosion processes on nitride coating are accelerated, while in 0.9 % NaCl the nitride coating provides the stable characteristics.

Nitride coatings were formed on Ti-6Al-4V alloy by thermodiffusion treatment. The corrosion-electrochemical behaviour of Ti-6Al-4V alloy with nitride coatings I and II was investigated in physiological solutions (0.9% NaCl and Tyrode's) at temperatures of 36∘C and 40∘C. It is determined that nitride coating I provides Ti-6Al-4V alloy the higher corrosion resistance in Tyrode's solution at both temperatures of solution while nitride coating II in isotonic 0.9% NaCl.

The corrosion behavior of CuCr, CuZr and CuCrZr alloys in NaCl solution is reported in this paper. The corrosion performance has been evaluated in NaCl solution atmosphere. The results show the corrosion resistance of pure copper decrease with the addition of the alloying elements initially. However, in the later exposure stages, the corrosion resistance of CuZr and CuCrZr alloy deteriorates significantly while the corrosion resistance of CuCr alloy is slightly better than that of pure copper. In addition, the results of the electrochemical experiments indicate that the different behavior for the element Cr and Zr in the base material and corrosion scales lead to the change of the corrosion resistance.

The corrosion behaviour of titanium alloys is not well understood – especially the role of the microstructure and plastic strain. In this paper, the influence of the microstructure and plastic strain on the corrosion resistance of TiMo10Zr4 and Ti6Al4V alloys was studied in the Ringer’s solution at 37 °C. Measurements were performed for different pH values and in aerated and de-aerated solutions using potentiodynamic polarization techniques. Results obtained on the two alloys were compared. It was shown that in the absence of plastic strain TiMo10Zr4 shows better corrosion resistance than Ti6Al4V (especially for pH = 8). By contrast, the current density in the passive range measured after 8% plastic strain was greater on TiMo10Zr4 than on Ti6Al4V, indicating that the passive film on TiMo10Zr4 is less protective than that formed on Ti6Al4V.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to study the corrosion behaviour of Al-12Zn-3Mg-2.5Cu alloy by cast, precipitation hardening and non-isothermal step rolling cum cold/cryo rolling (−80 and −196°C) in 3.5 per cent NaCl solution. Design/methodology/approach Aluminium alloy with high alloying concentration (Zn: 12 per cent, Mg: 3 per cent, Cu: 2.5 per cent) was prepared by squeeze casting method with controlled process parameters. The cast alloy was solution treated at 450°C for 24 h and aged at 120°C with varying time intervals. Initially, the alloy also underwent non-isothermal step rolling from 6 mm to 3 mm at 400-100°C at the step of 100ºC with 15% reduction in thickness. Non-isothermal rolled alloy (3 mm thickness) was the starting material for further rolling at three different temperatures, such as room temperature, −80 and −190°C with 85 per cent reduction. Microstructural evolution during precipitation and thermo-mechanical processing was studied with the help of optical microscopy and electron microscopy. A potentio-dynamic polarization study was performed to evaluate the corrosion behaviour of Al-12Zn-3Mg-2.5Cu alloy processed in different conditions in 3.5 per cent NaCl solution. Findings There is a distinct evidence that the alloy exhibits varying corrosion resistance by changing its structural features. In fact, the alloy with ultra-fine grained structure exhibits good corrosion resistance than that of alloy in cast. This is attributed to a greater grain boundary region with high dislocation density, and plastic strain adversely affects the corrosion resistance. Originality/value The results obtained by this investigation help in understanding the effect of precipitation hardening and non-isothermal step rolling cum cold/cryo rolling (−80 and −196°C) on corrosion behaviour.

The corrosion behaviour of Zn-10Al-1.5Cu alloy in NaCl solution was examined. The used NaCl solution concentrations were 1M, 0.3M, and 0.003M for a constant temperature values of 7°C or 25°C or 45°C. The corrosion behaviour of this alloy was investigated under potentiodynamic corrosion conditions. The surface of the corroded alloy specimens was studied with the aid of scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction techniques. It was observed that the increase of NaCl concentration in the corrosion solution for a constant value of temperature led to lower corrosion resistance of the alloy. For a constant value of solution concentration, the increase of solution temperature also led to the decrease of corrosion resistance of the same alloy.

Abstract Temperature is considered a complicated external factor of the susceptibility of stainless steels to the pitting. This paper deals with the corrosion behaviour of AISI 316Ti stainless steel in temperature range 22 - 80°C in aggressive chloride environments (3 and 5% FeCl3 solutions). The corrosion resistance of tested steel is evaluated on the base of results of exposure immersion tests and cyclic potentiodynamic tests. According to the obtained results the resistance of AISI 316Ti to the pitting is markedly affected by temperature changes in the range 22 – 80°C. Intensity of corrosion attack increases with the rise of Cl− concentration. Gentle changes of temperature and Cl− concentration cause significant differences in character of local damage. The appearance of pitted surfaces changes with the rise of the temperature (a density of pitting increases, a size of pits decreases). The strongest change in appearance is observed between 40 and 50ºC.

AbstractIn the present study, the corrosion behaviour of A356 (Al-7Si-0.3Mg) alloy in 3.5% NaCl solution has been evaluated using cyclic/potentiodynamic polarization tests. The alloy was provided in the unmodified form and it was then modified with AlTi5B1 for grain refinement and with AlSr15 for Si modifications. These modifications yield to better mechanical properties. Tensile tests were performed. In addition, bifilm index and SDAS values were calculated and microstructure of the samples was investigated. As a result of the corrosion test, the Ecorr values for all conditions were determined approximately equal, and the samples were pitted rapidly. The degassing of the melt decreased the bifilm index (i.e. higher melt quality) and thereby the corrosion resistance was increased. The lowest corrosion rate was founded at degassing and as-received condition (3.9x10-3mm/year). However, additive elements do not show the effect which degassing process shows.

A KrF excimer laser was introduced for laser surface melting (LSM) of the aluminium alloys AA2124-T4 and AA6061-T4. The microstructural and compositional analysis was conducted using SEM, low-angle XRD, and TEM; the corrosion behaviour of as-received (AR) and laser-treated (LT) samples was evaluated by electrochemical techniques and immersion test in a 3.5% NaCl solution. A melted layer consisting of a re-solidified layer with refined microstructure and dissolution of intermetallic particles (IMPs), and a thin film of aluminium oxides at the top, was formed after LSM for both alloys. The corrosion resistance of both alloys was improved after LSM. The results of immersion test showed different corrosion behaviour for LT AA2124 and LT AA6061. The delamination of the melted layer was observed for AA2124 but was not observed for AA6061 after exposure to 3.5% NaCl solution for 24 h. This was attributed to the formation of copper-rich segregation bands in the melted layer of AA2124 due to higher content of copper in AA2124 than AA6061. A significant number of micro-pores were present in the melted layer for AA2124 treated with high number of laser pulses, leading to the decrease of the corrosion resistance.

A Duplex treatment consisting in gas nitriding followed by PAPAVD deposition of TiAlN has been proposed as a solution for improving the corrosion behaviour of EN 42CrMo4 steel. The corrosion resistance in 3.5% NaCl solution was evaluated by linear polarization. It was found that the Duplex treated samples exhibited better corrosion resistance and that the corrosion rate decreased significantly from 0.069 mm an-1 (untreated samples) to 0.008 mm an -1 (Duplex treated).

The corrosion behaviour of AM60 magnesium alloy containing 1.88 wt.% Cd in 0.1 M NaCl solution was investigated by weight loss and hydrogen evolution measurements. The microstructure was evaluated using EPMA. Cd was observed to have an even distribution, hence, no new phase was formed. The corrosion resistance was enhanced by the addition of Cd. The rate of corrosion reduced by a factor of 1.5 times that of AM60 alloy. The microstructure played a crucial role as the presence of defects in the alloys initiated and accelerated corrosion.
