Effect of surface abrasion on pitting corrosion of Al-Li alloy

10.1016/j.corsci.2018.04.010

2018-04-09

The effects of surface abrasion on microstructure and pitting corrosion of 2297 A l-Li alloy were investigated. Statistical analysis reveals that surface abrasion alters surface roughness and induces partial dissolution of intermetallic particles. A smoother ...

Degradation of concrete with addition of mineral admixture due to free chloride ion penetration under the effect of carbonation

10.1016/j.corsci.2018.04.004

2018-04-07

The free Cl- diffusion law, binding Cl- capacity and long-term reliability of electrodes in concrete were investigated under the effects of carbonation. Results reveal that the diffusion of free Cl- in concrete with and without carbonation adheres to Fick’s s...

The Corrosion behavior of Ni-Cu gradient layer on the nickel aluminum-bronze (NAB) alloy

10.1016/j.corsci.2018.03.050

2018-04-07

The gradient Ni-Cu layer on nickel aluminum-bronze alloy was obtained by the thermal diffusion process. The corrosion resistance was improved due to the formation of protective film, consisted of Ni(OH)2 and Cu2O. Although the Ni-Cu layer exhibited local corr...

Embrittlement and aging at 475 °C in an experimental superferritic stainless steel with high molybdenum content

10.1016/j.corsci.2018.03.033

2018-04-04

Superferritic steels are characterized by high Cr content (exceeding 25 wt.%) with addition of Mo. They were originally developed for use in heat exchangers and marine environments. Current trend to use these alloys in the oil industry drives the research on ...

Dealloying induced N-doping in spindle-like porous rutile TiO2 for enhanced visible light photocatalytic activity

10.1016/j.corsci.2018.03.049

2018-04-03

We designed a high-yield and low temperature N-doping strategy in modifying TiO2 band structure. A nanostructured porous TiO2 was obtained through dealloying of Cu80Ti20 precursor through leaching by HNO3. It was confirmed that nitrogen was interstitially dop...

The effect of yttrium addition on the air oxidation behavior of Zr-Cu-Ni-Al bulk metallic glasses at 400-500 °C

10.1016/j.corsci.2018.03.024

2018-03-30

Zr53.8Cu29.1Ni7.3Al9.8 bulk metallic glass (ZCNA-BMG) and Zr52.8Cu29.1Ni7.3Al9.8Y1 bulk metallic glass (ZCNAY-BMG) were taken to elucidate the kinetic mechanism for the improvement in oxidation resistance upon the addition of yttrium over the temperature rang...

Bi-modal trending for corrosion loss of steels buried in soils

10.1016/j.corsci.2018.03.048

2018-03-29

Corrosion loss data from the 1957 NBS study for steels buried in a large variety of soils and exposed over 12-17 year s are re-interpreted, supported with estimates for scatter in the data. This shows that losses predominantly are consistent with the bi-modal...

Influence of environmental factors on atmospheric corrosion in dynamic environment

10.1016/j.corsci.2018.03.042

2018-03-28

This paper studies the effects of relative humidity, temperature, sulphur dioxide, and chlorides on the short-term corrosion behavior in the dynamic environment. A multi-parameter method is developed to characterize the statistical distributions of the enviro...

The anisotropic corrosion behaviour of wire arc additive manufactured Ti-6Al-4V alloy in 3.5% NaCl solution
