Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Extensive research has been devoted to methods of preventing the corrosion of metallic alloys in the past few decades. Recently, several innovative approaches based on the evolution of surface treatments and coating materials have been discussed in the scientific community. This Special Issue will act as a forum for researchers to discuss the most recent advances in methods and materials for surface protection. We welcome both experimental and computational studies in the following areas: corrosion protection of light alloys (magnesium, aluminum and titanium alloys), steels (carbon steels, stainless steels, high-strength low-alloy steels, advanced high-strength steels), and multiprincipal element alloys, surface treatments (anodization, micro-arc oxidation), plasma-based coatings,  organic coatings, graphene-based coatings, surface protection in the oil and gas industry, amorphous coatings, laser-assisted surface treatment methods, and corrosion mechanisms of alloys. Review articles are also encouraged.

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

The micro-arc oxidation (MAO) technique was used to grow in situ oxidation coating on the surface of R60705 zirconium alloy in Na2SiO3, Na2EDTA, and NaOH electrolytes. The thickness, surface morphology, cross-section morphology, wear resistance, composition, and structure of the micro-arc oxidation coating were analyzed by an eddy current thickness measuring instrument, XPS, XRD, scanning electron microscopy, energy spectrometer, and wear testing machine. The corrosion resistance of the coating was characterized by a polarization curve and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results show that, with the increase in frequency, the single-pulse discharge energy decreases continuously, and the coating thickness shows a decreasing trend, from the highest value of 152 μm at 400 Hz to the lowest value of 87.5 μm at 1000 Hz. The discharge pore size on the surface of the coating gradually decreases, and the wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the coating first increase and then decrease. The corrosion resistance is the best when the frequency is 400 Hz. At this time, the corrosion potential is −0.215 V, and the corrosion current density is 2.546 × 10−8 A·cm−2. The micro-arc oxidation coating of zirconium alloy is mainly composed of monoclinic zirconia (m-ZrO2) and tetragonal zirconia (t-ZrO2), in which the content of monoclinic zirconia is significantly more than that of tetragonal zirconia.

Surgical ASTM F139 stainless steel is used for temporary fixtures in the biomedical field. Tribocorrosion is a major concern in this application. The aim of the present work was to study the interplay between tribocorrosion behavior and the surface chemistry of the ASTM F139 stainless steel in phosphate-buffered saline solution (PBS). Sliding wear tests were conducted against alumina balls at different electrochemical potentials: open circuit potential (OCP), cathodic potential (−100 mV versus the OCP), and anodic potentials (+200 mVAg/AgCl and +700 mVAg/AgCl). The normal load was 20 N. The wear volume was estimated based on micrographs obtained from the wear tracks using confocal laser scanning microscopy. Moreover, the wear tracks were also examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The surface chemistry of the ASTM F139 specimens was analyzed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The wear volume was dependent on the electrochemical potential, being maximized at +700 mVAg/AgCl. Delamination areas and grooves were observed in the wear tracks. Detailed assessment of the surface chemistry inside the wear tracks allowed identification of the main chemical species and their relative quantities, thus enabling correlation of the passive film composition with the observed tribocorrosion behavior.
