Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Corrosion resistance and mechanical properties have attracted great attention in the application and development of metallic material and coatings. The microstructure of metal is closely related to its performance, either for corrosion or mechanical performance. Investigation into the relationship between structure and properties is the most functional method and is used to uncover the mechanism for enhancing the performance of metals, offering the foundation for developing new-era materials.

Previously, we published the Special Issue “https://www.mdpi.com/journal/coatings/special_issues/Corrosion_Mechanical” online. This Special Issue is now closed and achieved great success. Building on this collaboration, we are keen to launch a second volume of the existing Special Issue. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

(1) Fundamentals and application of metallic materials, coatings and microstructure characterization;

(2) Processes for coating deposition and modification, and the investigation of functional, protective and decorative coatings;

(3) Characterization techniques for metallic materials and coatings;

(4) Corrosion, wear, fatigue and fracture of metallic materials and coatings.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

Calcareous deposits are a consequential outcome of cathodic protection in marine environments, exerting significant influence on the cathodic protection process and current density prerequisites. This study investigates the process of calcium deposition and its impact on the cathodic protection current density of carbon steel under the influence of a rust layer in different corrosion periods. This was investigated using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The results demonstrate that the formation processes of calcareous deposits vary after exposure to the corrosive environment for 0, 7, and 30 days. While a longer corrosion period leads to thicker rust layers on the metal surface and a higher initial cathodic protection current, the presence of these rust layers facilitates the deposition of calcium and magnesium ions, resulting in a rapid decrease in cathodic protection current density after a certain period. Meanwhile, long-term cathodic protection facilitates the thickening and densification of the oxide layer, thereby enhancing its protective efficacy, effectively reducing the corrosion rate of the metal surface and stabilizing the cathodic protection current density at a lower level. This study provides theoretical data and experimental evidence to support the maintenance of corroded marine engineering equipment. Full article

The corrosion of structural materials is a crucial issue of the application of supercritical carbon dioxide in the Brayton power cycle system. The oxidation and carburization behaviors of typical alloy materials in high-temperature CO2 environments are studied based on thermodynamic analysis technology, including the analysis of the oxidation and carburization performance of the CO2 atmosphere as well as the corrosion behaviors of alloy elements under 500 °C, 600 °C, and 650 °C. In addition, the oxide film characteristics of T91 and 800H alloys, including phase composition and morphology structure, are studied at 500 °C and 650 °C. Research has found that for the T91, FeCr2O4 and Fe3O4 can form a continuous oxide film layer with coverage and SiO2, VO, and MnCr2O4 oxides are mainly in the inner layer of the oxide film. For the 800H, Cr2O3 and MnCr2O4 can form flakes of oxide film layers, while Al2O3, TiO2, and SiO2 are distributed as scattered grains near the interface between the oxide film and the matrix material. Both T91 and 800H will produce chromium carbides, which will reduce the toughness of the material. Full article

Sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) are the primary cause of corrosion in oil and gas pipeline steel. To understand how temperature and immersion time affect the SRB-induced corrosion of BG L450OQO-RCB pipe steel, the present study delved into the morphology and elemental composition of corrosion products, corrosion rate, corrosion solution composition, and electrochemical performance at different temperatures (25, 40, and 60 °C) and immersion times (5, 10, and 20 days). During the SRB corrosion of the investigated steel, extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs), iron sulfide, and iron phosphide were produced on the surfaces of the steel samples, along with the calcium carbonate product. Chloride ions in the corrosion solution contributed to the corrosion of steel and the formation of chlorides on steel surfaces. Over time, the quantities of EPSs, iron sulfide, and iron phosphide gradually decreased with immersion time. The presence of surface iron chloride initially increased and then decreased with immersion time. Conversely, the presence of calcium carbonate surface product initially decreased and then increased with immersion time. The content of SRB extracellular polymer, iron sulfide, and iron phosphide changed imperceptibly between 25 and 40 °C, but the overall content decreased at 60 °C. The content of surface ferric chloride remained practically unchanged between 25 and 40 °C but increased at 60 °C. The calcium carbonate surface product increased slightly with higher temperature. The corrosion of Cu-containing steel by SRB follows the cathodic depolarization theory. Full article
