Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Steel is an indispensable raw material in our human society, and corrosion is an inherent defect of steel materials that cannot be avoided. Therefore, achieving higher corrosion resistance of steel is an important research direction for scientists. This Special Issue will focus on key findings on the corrosion behavior and mechanism of metallic materials. In this Special Issue, we welcome research on the corrosion behavior and mechanism of metallic materials (such as steel), as well as research on material corrosion resistance regulation techniques and advanced corrosion characterization techniques.

The mechanism causing the dramatic intensification of the corrosion deterioration of carbon steel pipes in a crude oil storage facility has been investigated. This study considers a number of factors affecting corrosion in crude oil, such as the water content, the corrosivity of the aqueous phase, the kinetics of water–oil separation, the effect of dissolved oxygen, the effect of the crude oil quality, the degree of stagnancy inside of the pipes, the possible contribution of microbially induced corrosion (MIC) and the presence of deposits. The key root of the corrosion intensification was the separation of the water phase, supported by stagnancy, which eventually led to the formation of stable shallow pits surrounded by cathodic areas.

As an efficient advanced oxidation process, the Fenton-like reaction provides a promising way toward the degradation of organic pollutants; thus, the development of a highly efficient heterogeneous catalyst is of great significance. Herein, the chemical etching behavior of Fe-Si-B metallic glass (MG) ribbons in a dilute HF solution is studied by varying the etching time. Based on this, the uniform nanoporous (NP) structures are successfully fabricated. The Fe-Si-B MG ribbons after etching for 30, 60, and 90 min still maintain an amorphous structure and possess much larger specific surface areas than untreated Fe-Si-B ribbons. The thicknesses of their nanoporous structures, with a pore size range of tens to hundreds of nanometers, are about 92.0, 180.5, and 223.4 nm, respectively. The formation of the nanoporous structure probably follows the pitting corrosion mechanism, mainly referring to the generation of corrosion pits due to the selective leaching of Si and B and pore growth and integration owing to the selective corrosion of Fe. The Fenton-like system of NPFe/H2O2 exhibits enhanced degradation performance toward methyl orange (MO), primarily due to the high intrinsic catalytic activity of the amorphous structure and the large specific surface areas of nanoporous structures, indicating the great potential application of NPFe in wastewater treatments. The mechanism analysis shows that MO degradation mainly contains two sub-processes: the heterogeneous reaction on the catalyst surface and the homogeneous reaction in MO solution, which exhibit a strong synergistic effect with excellent degradation performance.

The microstructure and impact toughness evolution of G115 steel after long-term (ranging from 500 h to 10,000 h) aging at 700 °C were investigated in this study. The results showed that the microstructure of the G115 steel evolved from a finer-grained matrix with minor precipitates to a coarse-grained matrix with more precipitate with aging time, presenting a decrease in the local deformation degree in the matrix. The impact toughness of the steel decreased with aging time, presenting the largest decline at the initial aging times. The decrease in impact toughness was attributed to the coarsening of precipitates (M23C6 and Laves phase) in the steel matrix. The stable impact toughness during the whole aging process (from 500 h to 10,000 h) should be related to the comprehensive effects, including the precipitation of the Laves phase, the increase in high-angle grain boundaries, and the softening of the metal matrix.

The corrosion behaviors of three bridge steels in a real tropical marine environment for 2 years were studied. One weathering steel (WS) was designed with higher levels of nickel, copper, and molybdenum compared to the other. These two kinds of WSs and one kind of ordinary high-strength low-alloy steel (Q345qe) were compared under two conditions (marine atmospheric zone and marine immersion zone at Sanya Marine Environmental Test Station). The morphology, corrosion rate, and corrosion product analysis of the steels were performed through SEM, XPS, FTIR and other characterization methods. The results demonstrated that weathering steels facilitate the densification of the corrosion product layer due to the addition of alloying elements Cr, Ni, and Cu, promoting rust nucleation and enhancing the compactness of the protective layer. However, in an immersion environment, the extensive erosion by chloride ions renders the benefits of WS ineffective. Full article

Urgent action is required to mitigate the severe corrosion of carbon steel in low-latitude regions. The combination of high humidity, temperature, and salinity in these areas significantly accelerates steel corrosion, posing a substantial threat to the service safety of offshore engineering equipment. This study aims to elucidate the atmospheric corrosion mechanisms of 45# steel in low-latitude coastal areas. Samples of 45# steel were exposed to atmospheric conditions over various durations in the following three geographically distinct regions: Guangzhou, Wanning, and the South China Sea. The corrosion rates were calculated using weight loss tracking and potentiodynamic polarization measurements, while surface corrosion products were examined using X-ray diffraction (XRD) tests. The findings indicate a clear correlation between the corrosion rate of 45# steel and the latitude and specific location of the test area, with the highest to lowest rates observed in the South China Sea, Wanning, and Guangzhou, respectively. Similarly, the extent of corrosion rust penetration in defective coatings followed the same order. Moreover, the protection ability index (PAI) calculations revealed that none of the tested samples formed a protective corrosion film. Full article

Title: Mechanical, corrosion, and wear characteristics of Cu-based composites reinforced with zirconium diboride consolidated by SPS
Author: Kowalik
Highlights: 1. The SPS process provides high densification in Cu+ZrB2 composites, achieving an apparent density of 93-97% of theoretical density. 2. The microhardness increased significantly with the change in the content of ZrB2. 3. The wear resistance of the Cu+ZrB2 composites increases with the increasing content of ZrB2. 4. Adding ZrB2 above 5% reduces the composite's resistance to corrosion in chloride solutions.
