Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

When metallic alloys make contact with a corrosive environment, corrosion will inevitably occur, which affects their performance and service life and sometimes causes safety accidents and significant economic losses. Therefore, it is of great theoretical and practical significance to study the corrosion behavior and mechanisms of metallic alloys and establish reliable protective measures, such as corrosion inhibitors and coating.

Abstract

Titanium alloys present superior electrochemical properties due to the generation of the TiO2 passive layer. The ability to generate an oxide passive layer depends on the anodized alloy. This work mainly studies the corrosion resistance of the alloys Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo and Ti-6Al-4V anodized in NaOH and KOH at 1 M and 0.025 A/cm2 of current density. The electrochemical techniques were performed in a conventional three-electrode cell exposed to electrolytes of NaCl and H2SO4. Based on ASTM-G61 and G199, cyclic potentiodynamic polarization (CPP) and electrochemical noise (EN) techniques were used. The results indicated that Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo anodized on NaOH presented a higher passivity range than anodized on KOH, relating to the high reactivity of Na+ ions. The former anodized alloy also demonstrated a higher passive layer rupture potential. In EN, the results showed that Ti-6Al-4V anodized in KOH presented a trend toward a localized process due to the heterogeneity of anodized porosity and the presence of V in the alloy. Full article

Offshore pipelines are subjected to stresses (e.g., from fluid flow, mechanical vibration, and earth movement). These stresses, combined with corrosive environments and in the presence of trace gases (O2, CO2), can increase the pipeline’s corrosion rate and potentially lead to cracking. As such, the impact of trace gases such as CO2 (linked to enhanced oil recovery and carbon capture and sequestration) on corrosion is key to determining whether pipelines are at increased risk. American Petroleum Institute (API) 5L X70 and X100 were exposed as stressed C-rings (80% or 95% of yield strength). The tests were conducted with either N2 (control) or CO2 bubbled through 3.5% NaCl, at either 5 °C or 25 °C. Linear polarization resistance was used to assess corrosion rate, while morphology and variation were determined using optical microscopy (generating metal loss distributions) and scanning electron microscopy. The control experiment (N2) showed that corrosion rates correlated with temperature and stress. In this low O2 environment, both alloys showed similar trends. Under CO2 exposure, all samples showed accelerated corrosion rates; furthermore, the morphologies generated were different for the two alloys: undercutting corrosion with discontinuous microcracks (X70) or deep, wide ellipses (X100). Understanding these changes in corrosion response is key when selecting materials for specific operational environments. Full article

Iron aluminides are considered as candidate materials for high temperature applications for their excellent high temperature corrosion and oxidation resistance. In the present work, iron-aluminide coatings were developed by friction surfacing (6351 aluminum alloy deposited on a low-carbon steel substrate) followed by a diffusion heat treatment. The initial coatings were found to be geometrically homogenous and adhered well to the steel substrate. The heat treatment process was carried out at 550 °C for 48, 72 and 96 h and the resulting coatings were characterized in terms of microstructure, chemical composition, hardness distribution and phase composition. After heat treatment, the coating/substrate interface morphology was modified and presented patterns typical of Fe-Al intermetallic formation, as well as a substantial increase in hardness (>900 HV) relative to the initial as-deposited condition. With the diffusion treatment, initially Fe2Al5 was found to develop in the coatings, which was converted into FeAl2 after longer exposures. Full article
