t. This work involves studying the effect of adding alcohols on corrosion behavior of Al-Si-Cu alloy in synthetic condensed automotive solution (CSAS) at room temperature. Alcohols used were methanol (MeOH), ethanol (EtOH), porpanol (PropOH), Butanol (ButOH), and mixture of (MeOH-EtOH), (MeOH-PropOH) and (MeOH-ButOH). According to potentiodynamic polarization test, the results of corrosion resistance indicate that additive alcohols increase the resistance of Al-Si-Cu alloy, except addition of ethanol to the CSAS and the resistance follows the sequence: MeOH. > ButOH > MeOHButOH > MeOH-PropOH > PropOH > MeOH-EtOH. Cyclic polarization measurements were carried out to estimate the pitting resistance of Al-Si-Cu alloy in CSAS in the absence and presence of alcohols, this test shows that the hysteresis loop appears only in cases of presence of ethanol and (MeOH-EtOH) mixture in CSAS indicating the disadvantage of adding ethanol and (MeOH-EtOH) mixture to automotive fuel.

In the present study binary Mg-xCa (x=0.5 and 1.25wt.%) and ternary Mg-1Ca-xZn (x=0.5 and 1.5wt.%) alloys are produced by casting the molten metal in a metal die at a temperature of 740°C. The microstructure analysis of the Mg-Ca and Mg-Ca-Zn alloys were studied by OM, SEM and EDX. The corrosion behavior of alloys was evaluated via potentiodynamic polarization test in Kokubo solution. The result exhibited that the grain size decrease with rising Ca content in Mg-Ca alloys and degree of grain size reduction further decreased by adding Zn to Mg-1Ca-Zn alloys. The microstructure of Mg-Ca alloys were constituted of primary Mg and lamellar eutectic (α-Mg+Mg2Ca) phase, Whilst Mg–1Ca-Zn alloys were composed of primary Mg and eutectic (α-Mg+Mg2Ca+Ca2Mg6Zn3) phases. In addition with increasing Ca and Zn the amount of Mg2Ca and Ca2Mg6Zn3 increased respectively in grain boundaries. Electrochemical test shows that the addition of Zn leads to improve corrosion resistance of the Mg–1Ca-Zn alloys as a result of the formation of Ca2Mg6Zn3 phase, whilst the addition of more than 0.5 wt% Ca to Mg-Ca alloys result in decrease corrosion resistance due to the formation Mg2Ca.

Erosion Corrosion

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.

Az91c Magnesium Alloy

The corrosion behavior of as-cast AZ91C magnesium alloy was studied by performing friction stir processing (FSP) and FSP followed by solution annealing and then aging. Phase analysis, microstructural characterization, potentiodynamic polarization test and immersion tests were carried out to relate the corrosion behavior to the samples microstructure. The microstructural observations revealed the breakage and dissolution of coarse dendritic microstructure as well as the coarse secondary [Formula: see text]-Mg[Formula: see text]Al[Formula: see text] phase which resulted in a homogenized and fine grained microstructure (15[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m). T6 heat treatment resulted in an excessive growth and dispersion of the secondary phases in the microstructure of FSP zone. The potentiodynamic polarization and immersion tests proved a significant effect of both FSP and FSP followed by T6 on increasing the corrosion resistance of the cast AZ91C magnesium alloy. Improve in corrosion resistance after FSP was attributed to grain refinement and elimination of segregations and casting defects which makes more adhesive passive layer. Increase in volume fraction of precipitations after T6 heat treatment is determined to be the main factor which stabilizes the passive layer at different polarization values and is considered to be responsible for increasing the corrosion resistance.

Electroless Ni

With suitable pretreatment, a compact and even nickel-phosphorus alloy coating was obtained on W-Cu alloy by electroless deposition from solutions containing nickel sulphate as a source of nickel and sodium hypophosphite as the reducing agent and a source of phosphorus. The Ni-P coating was normally prepared from acidic baths at high temperature of the order of 90oC with the pH of 4.8 and it was smooth and uniform and exhibited high crystal refinement and high microhardness and superior corrosion resistance. The microhardness, adhesion and corrosion resistance mechanism of Ni-P deposit were studied. The microhardness of the Ni-P alloy deposit increases greatly by tempering at various temperatures. The Ni-P deposit has a strong adhesive force with W-Cu alloy substrate checked by thermal shock test and scribe test. The anti-corrosion ability of Ni-P coating and its anti-corrosion mechanism were measured using immersion experiment and potentiodynamic polarization techniques. The results showed that the corrosion resistance of Ni-P coating was higher than that of W-Cu alloy substrate in the 10vol.% sulfuric acid, monitoring sweat solution and 3.5wt.% sodium chloride solution. The anti-corrosion mechanism of electroless Ni-P coating immersed in 3.5wt.% sodium chloride solution was studied using potentiodynamic polarization techniques. The surface micromorphological morphology and structure of the Ni-P coating were investigated using Scanning Electronic Microscope (SEM) and X-ray Diffraction (XRD). The results indicated that the Ni-P alloy coating consisted of microcrystals and it was amorphous in structure, and the electrochemical measurement showed passive film formed on Ni-P coating during immersion test in the 3.5wt.% sodium chloride solution.

2205 Duplex Stainless Steel

Purpose – The aim of this paper was to investigate the effect of strain rate on microstructure and corrosion behavior of 2205 duplex stainless steel, after high-temperature compression tests. Design/methodology/approach – The specimens were prepared using a Gleeble3800 thermo-simulation machine over a range of temperatures from 850 to 1,250°C and strain rates from 0.005 to 5 s−1, and the corresponding flow curves and deformation microstructure obtained were further analyzed. To evaluate the effect of strain rate on corrosion behavior, potentiodynamic polarization tests and double-loop electrochemical potentiodynamic reactivation (DL-EPR) were used to characterize the electrochemical performance. Findings – Compared with strain rate of 0.5 s−1, the worst corrosion resistance behavior from the potentiodynamic polarization test results after deformation at 0.005 s−1 was attributed to more austenite (γ) and ferrite (δ) grain boundaries or δ/γ phase interface formation due to the better effect of γ dynamic recrystallization (DRX) or δ dynamic recovery (DRV). Increasing strain rate to 5 s−1 lowered the corrosion resistance, due to the increase in dislocation density. At the low strain rate of 0.005 s−1, the susceptibility to intergranular corrosion (IGC) was comparatively high after deformation at 1050 and 1150°C with more γ/γ grains and δ/γ phase boundary formation, which was lowered with the strain rate increase to 0.5 s−1, due to suppressing effect of γ DRX. Originality/value – The paper provides the scientific basis for the practical application of hot working of 2205 duplex stainless steel.

Bulk Nanocrystalline

Purpose This paper aims to focus on an assessment of the electrochemical corrosion performance of bulk NC copper in a variety of corrosion environments. Design/methodology/approach The electrochemical corrosion behavior of bulk nanocrystalline (NC) copper prepared by inert gas condensation and in situ warm compress technique was studied by using potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy tests in de-aerated 0.1 M NaOH solution. Findings NC copper exhibited a typical active-passive-transpassive behavior with the formation of duplex passive films, which was qualitatively similar to coarse-grain (CG) copper. Although a compact passive film formed on NC copper surface, the corrosion resistance of NC copper was lower in comparison with CG copper. The increase in corrosion rate for NC copper was mainly attributed to the high activity of surface atoms and intergranular atoms. These atoms led to an enhancement of passive ability and an increase of dissolution rate of passive film in oxygen-deficiency solution. For NC copper, the corrosion resistance decreased as grain size increased in NC range. Originality/value The difference in corrosion resistance between bulk NC copper and its CG counterpart is dependent upon the corrosion solution. In a previous work, the potentiodynamic polarization tests revealed that NC copper bulks (grain size 48, 68, 92 nm) had identical corrosion resistance to CG copper bulk in naturally aerated 0.1 M NaOH solution. The results might be related to the dissolved oxygen in the medium.

This study aims to correlate thermal parameters in the directional solidification of Al-10wt% Si-5wt% Cu alloy with the resulting microstructure and, in addition, with hardness and corrosion resistance. The results include primary dendritic arm spacing (PDAS), tip growth rate (VL), cooling rate (TR), scanning electron micrographs (SEM), hardness values and corrosion resistance parameters obtained by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and by the Tafel extrapolation method, conducted in 3% (m/v) NaCl solution at room temperature. The results show that coarser PDAS exhibit a tendency to increase in corrosion resistance, except in the positions with higher concentrations of the intermetallic compound Al2Cu, that surrounded by an aluminum rich phase tends to have a higher resistance to corrosion. The hardness values remained constant.
