Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

During the utilization of materials, their service life is often reduced due to factors such as oxidation, wear, corrosion, and erosion in different service environments. Corrosion and wear pose significant challenges across a wide range of industries, including manufacturing, metallurgy, marine engineering, aerospace, energy, automotive engineering, and more. It is essential to comprehend the underlying mechanisms and implement appropriate prevention and protection measures to extend the lifespan of materials.

This Special Issue aims to provide an inclusive platform for academia to share their innovative approaches, theoretical insights, and experimental findings in the areas of corrosion, wear, erosion and wear corrosion protection. We welcome original research papers from scholars and researchers spanning various disciplines relevant to corrosion and wear mechanisms. Research areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Analysis of corrosion and wear mechanisms
  • Techniques for assessing corrosion and wear
  • Monitoring and control strategies for corrosion and wear
  • Protective coatings for corrosion and wear resistance
  • Surface treatments aimed at enhancing material protection
  • Exploration of novel protective materials and coatings

We look forward to receiving your contributions!

Regenerated water serves as a supplementary source for circulating cooling water systems, but it often fosters microbial growth within pipelines. Given its widespread use as a corrosion inhibitor, understanding HEDP’s efficacy in microbial environments and its impact on microorganisms is imperative. This study established an iron bacterial system by isolating and enriching iron bacteria. Through a comprehensive approach incorporating corrosion weight loss analysis, XPS analysis, SEM electron microscopy, as well as microbial and electrochemical testing, the corrosion inhibition behavior and mechanism of HEDP within the iron bacterial system were investigated. The findings reveal that within the iron bacterial system, HEDP achieves a corrosion inhibition rate of 76% following four distinct stages—weakening, strengthening, stabilizing, and further strengthening—underscoring its robust corrosion inhibition capability. Moreover, HEDP enhances the density of biofilms and elevates the activation energy of carbon steel interfaces. It alternates with oxygen to continuously suppress the activity of IRB while gradually inhibiting the activity of IOB. This process culminates in a corrosion inhibition mechanism where cathodic inhibition predominates, supported by anodic inhibition as a complementary mechanism. Full article

Heat exchangers, as essential devices for facilitating heat transfer, have found a variety applications in various industries. However, the occurrence of corrosion-related failures in real-world scenarios remains a prevalent problem that can lead to catastrophic incidents. This paper investigates the problem of corrosion perforation on the outlet flange of a heat exchanger in a sour steam stripper from a petrochemical company. Failure analysis was performed using physical testing and chemical analysis, metallographic examination, microscopic observation, and energy spectrum analysis. Intergranular corrosion experiments and flow calculations were performed to verify the analysis. The results indicate that the main cause of the flange corrosion perforation was the formation of a highly concentrated NH4HS aqueous solution during the cooling process of the NH3, H2S, and water vapor in the fluid passing through the heat exchanger, and the velocity was too high, which triggered alkali-sour water washout corrosion. To prevent the recurrence of similar corrosion perforations, recommendations for material and process optimization are proposed to effectively reduce the safety production risks in refinery units and provide valuable information for the safe long-term operation of a sour steam stripper.

This work aimed to ascertain the corresponding influences of several PVD-coated cutting tools on the susceptibility of the machined surface of super duplex stainless steel (SDSS) to stress corrosion cracking. Coatings comprised of AlCrN, AlCrN/TiSiN, and AlTiN were applied to cemented carbide cutting tools using the PVD method; these were then used to turn the outer surface of the SDSS tube section. During the cutting process, the material presents the following combination of features: (i) a tendency for strain hardening, reflected in microstructural modifications and residual stresses of the machined surface and (ii) high temperatures in the cutting region, reducing the tool life. The goal of this work was to evaluate the surface integrity (work hardening and corrosion behaviour) of the SDSS obtained after the machining process (finish turning) with cemented carbide tools coated with three different PVD coatings.
