Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Corrosion prediction can provide valuable information for environment corrosivity classification and corrosion resistance evaluation of materials. Significant advances in this field have been achieved. However, the prediction accuracy is still not high due to the scatter of the data and the simplification of the model.

This Special Issue on “Corrosion Prediction in Different Environment” aims to collect the latest developments in the field, which can contribute to quantitative corrosion experiments, enrich environment and corrosion data, improve corrosion prediction accuracy, and enhance the understanding of the corrosion process.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. We look forward to receiving your contributions. Topics addressed in this Special Issue may include, but are not limited to:

  • Corrosion prediction in different environments;
  • Corrosion test in atmospheric or marine field environments (especially long-term test or in extreme environments);
  • Corrosion test in laboratory simulated or accelerated environment;
  • Mechanism consistency and acceleration rate between laboratory and field environment;
  • Corrosion monitoring or simulation;
  • Degradation of anti-corrosion coatings;
  • New equipment, sensors, methodology, tools, and models in corrosion;
  • Metallic.

Predicting the corrosion behavior of materials in specific environmental conditions is important for establishing a sustainable manufacturing system while reducing the need for time-consuming experimental investigations. Recent studies started to explore the application of supervised Machine Learning (ML) techniques to forecast corrosion behavior in various conditions. However, there is currently a research gap in utilizing classification ML techniques specifically for predicting the corrosion behavior of stainless steel (SS) material in lactic acid-based environments, which are extensively used in the pharmaceutical and food industry. This study presents a ML-based prediction model for corrosion behavior of SSs in different lactic acid environmental conditions, using a database that described the corrosion behavior by qualitative labels. Decision tree (DT), random forest (RF) and support vector machine (SVM) algorithms were applied for classification. Training and testing accuracies of, respectively 97.5% and 92.5% were achieved using the DT classifier. Four SS alloy composition elements (C, Cr, Ni, Mo), acid concentration, and temperature were found sufficient to consider as input data for corrosion prediction. The developed models are reliable for predicting corrosion degradation and, as such, contribute to avoiding failures and catastrophes in industry. Full article

In this work, the effects of the tropical marine atmospheric environment on the corrosion behaviour of the 7B04-T74 aluminium alloy were systematically investigated by using accelerated testing, together with corrosion kinetic analysis, microstructure observation, product composition analysis, and potentiodynamic polarization curve tests. The weight loss method was used for the corrosion kinetics analysis. The surface morphology and corrosion products transformation law were investigated by OM, SEM, EDS, and XPS. The electrochemical characteristics were studied using potentiodynamic polarization curves. The research indicated that the 7B04-T74 aluminium alloy has eminent corrosion resistance in the tropical marine atmospheric environment. Localized pitting corrosion occurred rapidly in the tropical marine atmosphere. In the later stage of corrosion, the corrosion of aluminium alloy did not become serious. Specifically, no obvious intergranular corrosion was found, which is related to the thermal treatment method. Corrosion products included Al(OH)3, Al2O3, and AlCl3, of which Al(OH)3 is the most notable. Full article

The 7xxx-series aluminum alloys are widely used in aircrafts due to their superior performance. The evolution of the mechanical properties of the aluminum alloys caused by marine atmospheric corrosion has become a research hotspot due to the increase in aircraft service time in the marine atmospheric environment. In this work, the evolution of the mechanical properties of the 7B04-T74 aluminum alloy was studied by an alternate immersion test. The surface microstructure was analyzed by SEM, EDS, XRD, and OM. The influence of the marine atmospheric corrosion on mechanical properties was studied by tensile and fatigue tests. The results show that the 7B04-T74 aluminum alloy has good corrosion resistance, as only pitting corrosion occurs in the marine atmospheric environment. The tensile properties of the 7B04-T74 aluminum alloy remained fundamentally the same before and after corrosion. The fatigue properties of the 7B04-T74 aluminum alloy were severely reduced, but the localized pitting corrosion only affected the initiation stage of the crack and had little effect on the crack propagation process.

Tungsten carbide based cemented carbides, often simply termed hardmetals, are established forefront materials for tools, structural components, and wear parts with stringent requirements. Several of the technological applications in which they are used include exposure to chemically aggressive media. Under these conditions, failure induced under applied load may be accelerated; and consequently, the service life may be decreased. Within this context, this work addresses the influence of corrosion-induced damage on the mechanical integrity and load-bearing capability of hardmetals at different length scales, i.e., from 100s nanometers to 1000s microns. Experimental data acquired by means of nanoindentation, pyramidal, and spherical indentation, as well as sliding contact (micro- and nanoscratch) techniques, are presented. The attained results allow for identifying guidelines for the microstructural design of these materials under combined consideration of corrosion and mechanical contact as service-like conditions. Discussion of the reported findings includes a critical analysis of corrosion effects on the evolution of microstructure-property-performance interrelations for the materials under consideration.
