Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The prevention of surface damage and reduction frictional loses will create a more environmentally friendly planet and improve economic development. The durability of materials and suitable COF are demanded by the automotive, aerospace, and medical industries. Proper wear mechanisms analysis including adhesive wear, abrasive wear, fatigue(cracks, spalling), corrosion, erosion, seizure, etc. is the key factor to enhance tribology behavior.

We are pleased to invite you to submit papers related to the wear, corrosion, and high-temperature resistance of steels/alloys/composites/coatings.

For this Special Issue, the scope will serve as a forum for papers related to the following concepts:

  • Theoretical and experimental research, which relates wear, high-temperature resistance, and corrosion of different types of materials such as steels, alloys composites, and coatings.
  • Recent tribological developments of various steels, alloys composites, and coatings.
  • Multi-coating processes, including but not limited to methods such as thermal spray, laser/electric plasma, CVD, etc.
  • High-temperature sliding conditions.
  • Simulation, computer modeling to predict wear or other degradation mechanisms in different test conditions.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

Spherical zinc is well known as an effective pigment for the corrosion protection of carbon steel. However, a high proportion of spherical Zn in a coating leads to difficulties in fabricating the coating solution and increased cost. In this work, the influence of flake ZnAl alloy in silicate coatings on the corrosion protection properties of steel substrates was investigated. The electrochemical behaviour of coatings containing different flake ZnAl alloy content immersed in NaCl solution (3.5 wt%) was evaluated using an electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) method. A salt spray test was performed to evaluate corrosion on the coating surface. Pull-off tests of the coatings before and after the salt spray process were performed, and the surface morphology was analysed to determine the degradation of corrosion resistance. The results show that silicate coating containing flake ZnAl alloy (25 wt%) possesses the highest total resistance (1417 Ω) and the longest time to the appearance of white rust (720 h). The surface morphology of the coating containing 25 wt% flake ZnAl alloy was found to include corrosion products with the most compacted surface, which effectively prevents the penetration of electrolytes to the interface between the coating and the steel.

Aluminium-matrix composite is one of the most preferred engineering materials and is known for its potential benefits, such as lightweight nature, high specific stiffness, superior strength, machinability, etc. The metal–matrix composites are very attractive for critical applications: Aerospace field, defense deployments, automotive sector, marine industry. In the present work, novel Physella Acuta Snail Shell particle reinforced aluminium metal–matrix composites are developed to facilitate cost-effective and sustainable manufacturing. These green composites are developed by stir-casting with LM0 as matrix material and snail shell as reinforcement with a distinct percentage (by weight) of inclusion. The influence of snail shells is analyzed through tribological, morphological, and corrosion studies. Aluminium–matrix composite Al98SNS2 with 98% (by weight) aluminium matrix and 2% (by weight) snail shell reinforcement exhibits superior performance in all investigations. Al98SNS2 composite exhibits the least wear rate in the atmosphere of deionized water and 3.5% NaCl. Corrosion deteriorates the surface roughness irrespective of the percentage of incorporation of snail shell reinforcement. However, the deterioration is minimal in Al98SNS2. The current research findings indicate that the incorporation of snail shell in aluminum metal–matrix composites promotes cost-effective, sustainable, and eco-friendly manufacturing. Full article
