Small amounts of nickel are added to titanium to improve the crevice corrosion resistance but this results in an alloy which has sheet fabrication difficulties and is subject to the formation of large Ti2Ni precipitates. These large precipitates can serve as local corrosion sites; but in a smaller more widely dispersed form, they can have a beneficial effect on crevice corrosion resistance. The purpose of the present work is to show that the addition of a small amount of Mo to the Ti-1.5Ni alloy reduces the Ti2Ni precipitate size and produces a more elongated grained microstructure. It has recently been reported that small additions of Mo to Ti-0.8 to lw/o Ni alloys produce good crevice corrosion resistance and improved fabrication properties.

The atmospheric corrosion behavior of a hot-rolled strip with four types (I–IV) of oxide scale was investigated using the accelerated wet–dry cycle corrosion test. Corrosion resistance and porosity of oxide scale were studied by potentiometric polarization measurements. Characterization of samples after 80 cycles of the wet–dry corrosion test showed that scale comprised wüstite and magnetite had strongest corrosion resistance. Oxide scale composed of inner magnetite/iron (>70%) and an outer magnetite layer had the weakest corrosion resistance. The corrosion kinetics (weight gain) of each type of oxide scale followed an initial linear and then parabolic (at middle to late corrosion) relationship. This could be predicted by a simple kinetic model which showed good agreement with the experimental results. Analysis of the potentiometric polarization curves, obtained from oxide coated steel electrodes, revealed that the type I oxide scale had the highest porosity, and the corrosion mechanism resulted from the joint effects of electrochemical behavior and the porosity of the oxide scale. In the initial stage of corrosion, the corrosion product nucleated and an outer rust layer formed. As the thickness of outer rust layer increased, the corrosion product developed on the scale defects. An inner rust layer then formed in the localized pits as crack growth of the scale. This attacked the scale and expanded into the substrate during the later stage of corrosion. At this stage, the protective effect of the oxide scale was lost.

Magnesium and magnesium-based alloys are considered ideal materials for implants in orthopedic treatment because their stiffness is close to that of human bones, and they can be absorbed gradually in the human organism. However, a major issue in their actual application is that the corrosion speed of Mg alloys is very high in aggressive environments such as the human fluids. In previous studies, many approaches have been attempted to enhance the corrosion resistance of Mg alloys. In this research, ball burnishing, a mechanical surface finishing process, is applied to improve the corrosion resistance of Mg alloys by changing its surface properties. The influence of the burnishing parameters on the corrosion resistance is investigated, and the corrosion of a treated and non-treated sample are compared. The test material used is the AZ31 Mg alloy. Firstly, a comprehensive review of the effect of burnishing on the final microstructures is reported. The influence of burnishing on grain size, work-hardened layer thickness, crystal orientation, and residual stress of the sample is discussed. Secondly, by conducting an especially designed long-term immersion test, the mass loss and surface evolution of each sample are evaluated. The experimental results indicate that, under proper processing conditions, the mass loss of the treated sample (8.8 mg) can be reduced to 36% of the non-treated one (24.2 mg). To elucidate the mechanism behind corrosion resistance enhancement by burnishing, the samples treated with the optimal processing parameters found are immersed in an aggressive solution for 1, 3, 5, and 7 days. From the results of mass loss measurement and surface structure characterization, it was found that, among pitting, general, and intergranular corrosion, pitting corrosion is the dominant corrosion mechanism. The holes enlarge because pits combine together, representing the greatest portion of mass loss. The main mechanism enhancing corrosion resistance is the size reduction of the grains on the surface induced by ball burnishing, causing a denser distribution of corrosion products in the immersion test. These corrosion products protect the material underneath accelerated corrosion.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to improve the salt spray corrosion and electrochemical corrosion performances of H13 hot work mould steel, Cr–Ni coatings with the different Cr and Ni mass ratios are fabricated using a laser cladding (LC), which provides an experimental basis for the surface modification treatment of H13 steel. Design/methodology/approach Cr–Ni coatings with the different Cr and Ni mass ratios were firstly fabricated on H13 hot work mould steel using a laser cladding (LC). The salt spray corrosion (SSC) and electrochemical corrosion performances of Cr–Ni coatings in 3.5 Wt.% NaCl solution were investigated to analyze the corrosion mechanism, and the effect of mass ratios of Cr and Ni on their corrosion mechanism was discussed. Findings The laser cladded Cr–Ni coatings with the different Cr and Ni mass ratios are composed of Cr–Ni compounds, which are metallurgically combined with the substrate. The SSC resistance of Cr–Ni coating with the Cr and Ni mass ratios of 24:76 is the highest. The electrochemical corrosion resistance of Cr–Ni coating with the Cr and Ni mass ratio of 24:76 is the best among the three kinds of coatings. Originality/value In this study, the corrosion resistance of laser cladded Cr–Ni coatings with the Cr and Ni mass ratios of 17: 83, 20: 80 and 24: 76 was first evaluated using salt spray corrosion (SSC) and electrochemical tests, and the effect of mass ratios of Cr and Ni on their corrosion mechanism was discussed.

ASTM T22 (Fe-2.25Cr-1Mo), 347HFG (Fe-18Cr-11Ni), and 310H (Fe-25Cr-19Ni) steels were reacted with CO2-0.3SO2-6O2 mixed gas. During corrosion at 700-800 °C for 20-100 h, 347HFG (Fe-18Cr-11Ni), and 310H (Fe-25Cr-19Ni) steels had good protective Cr2O3 oxide scale. Corrosion rates increased progressively as the corrosion temperature and time increased. Corrosion resistance increased in the order of T22, 347HFG, and 310H, suggesting that the alloying elements of Cr and Ni beneficially improved the corrosion resistance of steels. Basically, Fe oxidized to Fe2O3, and Cr oxidized to Cr2O3, some of which further reacted with FeO to form FeCr2O4.

Metal matrix composites (MMCs) are engineering materials in which a hard ceramic component is dispersed in a ductile metal matrix in order to obtain characteristics such as hardness and corrosion resistance. Corrosion resistance is one of the important properties of nanocomposites; however, the corrosion mechanism of the Al- SiC nanocomposite has not yet been determined. .In this study, bulk Al-5% SiC nanocomposite was prepared using mechanical alloying and the hot press method. Corrosion behavior was then investigated using EIS techniques such as Nyquist and the Bod diagram. A larger charge transfer resistance was found for the Al- SiC nanocomposite by the EIS diagrams, confirming its corrosion resistance in a 3.5wt% NaCl solution.

This paper represents a summary of experimental results dealing with the time dependence of surface diffusion alloyed microstructure and its corrosion behavior at given temperature. The experiments were performed at 485°C for different solid diffusion time (6h, 12h, 18h ) and thus the surface alloyed microstructure of pure magnesium has been obtained. Optical and electrical microscopy and EDS compositions analysis were used to examine the cross sectional microstructure characteristics of alloyed layers of treated samples. It is shown that the new phases formed and its continuity, depending on the diffusion treated time at given temperature, have a noticeable influence on corrosion resistance and corrosion mechanism. The new formed phase Al5Mg11Zn4 was inert to the chloride solution compared with pure magnesium and acted as a corrosion barrier. It was concluded that the continuous Al5Mg11Zn4 phase was beneficial from the point of view of corrosion resistance.

With the analysis of the seawater corrosion effect on low-heat Portland cement concrete under wetting-drying test, the compressive strength and quality change of concrete test specimen were investigated for different test periods. According to the evaluation of seawater corrosion resistance, the low-heat Portland cement showed better corrosion resistance than that of ordinary Portland cement and moderate-heat Portland cement. Moreover, the corrosion mechanism was expounded through XRD and SEM analysis. It was found that lots of C2S in the low-heat Portland cement play an important role in corrosion resistance of cement concrete.
