The main purpose of this work was to experimentally determine the effect of the cooling rate during the eutectoid transformation on the corrosion resistance of a hypoeutectic Zn-4Al cast alloy in 5% NaCl solution. This was considered in relation to the alloy microstructure. For this purpose, metallographic and electrochemical studies were performed. It was found that the faster cooling promoted the formation of finer (α + η) eutectoid structures, which translated into a higher hardness and lower corrosion current density. In the initial stage of corrosion processes the eutectoid structure in the eutectic areas were attacked. At the further stages of corrosion development, the phase η was dissolved, and the α phase appears to be protected by the formation of corrosion products.

Metal material corrosion resistance chloride ion always is a common problem. In order to further study corrosivity of metal materials in chloride solution, in this paper, a double-layers coating consisted of Ni/Cr-Fe alloy which were prepared by plasma sprayed. The morphology and corrosion resistance of that coating in 3.5 % (wt) NaCl solution were investigated by SEM and Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy (SECM). Because coating had some cracks and pores so the coating sample was corroded and the corrosion current increased rapidly in initial stage. After 10 h of immersion, the corrosion current remained stably. Hence, the sample with plasma spraying Ni/Cr-Fe alloy coating had poor chloride corrosion resistance.

This work researches the influence of the nickel content on the structural and anticorrosive properties of ZrSiTiN films deposited by means of reactive co-sputtering on alloys of Ti6Al4V. The morphology and structure were analyzed by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), and the chemical composition was identified via X-ray scattering spectroscopy (EDS). The corrosion resistance was studied using potentiodynamic polarization (PP) tests employing a 3.5% by weight NaCl solution. In the films, an increase of Ni up to 6.97 at% was observed, while in XRD the FCC phase of (Zr, Ti) N was identified, with a mixed orientation in planes (111) and (200), which tended to diminish with the increase of Ni. Finally, with the addition of Ni, the corrosion current densities were reduced from 5.56 𝑥 10−8 to 2.64 𝑥 10−9 𝐴/𝑐m2. The improvement in the corrosion resistance is due to the effect of the Ni on the microstructure of the system (Zr, Ti) N, which can improve the quality of the passive film and prevent crystalline defects and corrosion zones.

The paper presents the results of tests on the corrosion resistance of Fe40Al5Cr0.2TiB alloy after casting, plastic working using extrusion and rolling methods. Examination of the microstructure of the Fe40Al5Cr0.2TiB alloy after casting and after plastic working was performed on an Olympus GX51 light microscope. The stereological relationships of the alloy microstructure in the state after crystallization and after plastic working were determined. The quantitative analysis of the structure was conducted after testing with the EBSD INCA HKL detector and the Nordlys II analysis system (Channel 5), which was equipped with the Hitachi S-3400N microscope. Structure tests and corrosion tests were performed on tests cut perpendicular to the ingot axis, extrusion direction, and rolling direction. As a result of the tests, it was found that the crystallized alloy has better corrosion resistance than plastically processed material. Plastic working increases the intensity of the electrochemical corrosion of the examined alloy. It was found that as-cast alloy is the most resistant to corrosion in a 5% NaCl compared with the alloys after hot extrusion and after hot rolling. The parameters in this study show the smallest value of the corrosion current density and corrosion rate as well as the more positive value of corrosion potential.

Recently, many types of constructional steels have been often exposed to severely corrosive environments due to acid rain with increasing environmental contamination. To control corrosion problems, a painting protection method has been widely applied to numerous constructional steels on land as well as offshore. Therefore, development of anti-corrosive paint with good quality of corrosion resistance is very important from an economical perspective. In this study, four types of anti-corrosive paint were coated to test specimens, and then, were immersed in various salt solutions (0.1, 3 and 9% NaCl solution) for 11 days. Corrosion resistance of these samples by effect of osmotic pressure with various salt concentration was investigated with electrochemical methods such as measurement of corrosion potential, impedance and corrosion current density. Corrosion current density of these samples submerged in 0.1% NaCl solution exhibited highest value than those immersed in 3% and 9% NaCl solutions because water, dissolved oxygen and chloride ion etc. is easily to invade towards inner side of coating film due to increasing osmotic pressure compared to 3% and 9% NaCl solutions. However, corrosion current densities of all samples in the case of submerged in 9% NaCl solution exhibited higher values compared to 3% NaCl solution.Thus, a large amount of chloride ion dissolved in 9% NaCl solution plays a more critical role in corrosion behavior of coated steel rather than osmotic pressure. Consequently, the corrosion mechanism between coated steel and bare steel plates is different from each other because of presence of osmotic pressure between salt solution and coating film of coated steel plate. As a result, corrosion resistance of tcoated steel plate may be depend on the osmotic pressure as well as salt concentration

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to study the corrosion behaviour of Al-12Zn-3Mg-2.5Cu alloy by cast, precipitation hardening and non-isothermal step rolling cum cold/cryo rolling (−80 and −196°C) in 3.5 per cent NaCl solution. Design/methodology/approach Aluminium alloy with high alloying concentration (Zn: 12 per cent, Mg: 3 per cent, Cu: 2.5 per cent) was prepared by squeeze casting method with controlled process parameters. The cast alloy was solution treated at 450°C for 24 h and aged at 120°C with varying time intervals. Initially, the alloy also underwent non-isothermal step rolling from 6 mm to 3 mm at 400-100°C at the step of 100ºC with 15% reduction in thickness. Non-isothermal rolled alloy (3 mm thickness) was the starting material for further rolling at three different temperatures, such as room temperature, −80 and −190°C with 85 per cent reduction. Microstructural evolution during precipitation and thermo-mechanical processing was studied with the help of optical microscopy and electron microscopy. A potentio-dynamic polarization study was performed to evaluate the corrosion behaviour of Al-12Zn-3Mg-2.5Cu alloy processed in different conditions in 3.5 per cent NaCl solution. Findings There is a distinct evidence that the alloy exhibits varying corrosion resistance by changing its structural features. In fact, the alloy with ultra-fine grained structure exhibits good corrosion resistance than that of alloy in cast. This is attributed to a greater grain boundary region with high dislocation density, and plastic strain adversely affects the corrosion resistance. Originality/value The results obtained by this investigation help in understanding the effect of precipitation hardening and non-isothermal step rolling cum cold/cryo rolling (−80 and −196°C) on corrosion behaviour.

The corrosion behavior of Zr53.5Cu26.5Ni5Al12Ag3 bulk amorphous alloy in 3.5% NaCl solution was investigated by using potentiodynamic polarization experiments and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results show that Zr53.5Cu26.5Ni5Al12Ag3 bulk amorphous alloy has the better corrosion resistance than its corresponding crystal alloy. During the bath in the 3.5% NaCl solution at 25°C, Zr53.5Cu26.5Ni5Al12Ag3 alloy has the lower corrosion current density than the corresponding crystal alloy. After 100h, the corrosion current densities of Zr53.5Cu26.5Ni5Al12Ag3 and the corresponding crystal alloy are 3.8415×10-8A/cm2 and 5.2827×10-7A/cm2, respectively. The results of EIS test indicate that Zr53.5Cu26.5Ni5Al12Ag3 bulk amorphous alloy has the excellent corrosion resistance because passive film with stable structure formed on the surface in 3.5% NaCl solution. With an increase in the immersion time, the passive film becomes thicker. It leads to impedance resistance and corrosion resistance decrease. The surface of Zr53.5Cu26.5Ni5Al12Ag3 bulk amorphous alloy in 3.5% NaCl solution for 100h was analyzed by SEM and EDS. The results show that the corrosive pitting can be found at both the amorphous alloy and the corresponding crystal alloy. However, the amorphous alloy has the better corrosive pitting resistance than the crystal one because the corrosion products formed by selective dissolving of Zr and Al elements. Moreover, the addition of Ag element helps to improve the corrosion resistance of the amorphous alloy greatly.

In this work, the corrosion resistance of hybrid coatings obtained from plastic materials was evaluated and compared with the corrosion resistance of Zn coatings. Zinc and hybrid coatings were obtained by electrodeposition from zinc sulphate electrolyte. For obtained hybrid coatings it was used as disperse phase two type of plastic materials: phenol-formaldehyde resin and epoxy resin. Polarization was used to measure the corrosion rate and behaviour of zinc and hybrid coatings in 3.5% NaCl solution. Tafel curves show that the including particles of plastic materials in zinc matrix disturbs the cathodic reactions and reduces anodic reaction leading to decrease of corrosion current and increase the corrosion resistance of hybrid coatings obtained at the same electrodeposition parameters as zinc coatings. Smallest values of corrosion rate were evaluated for hybrid coatings obtained with phenol-formaldehyde resin as disperse phase that indicates a good corrosion resistance in 3.5% NaCl solution.

Effect Of Surface

Surface nano-crystallization (SNC) of a conform-extruded Cu-0.4 wt.% Mg alloy was successfully conducted by high-speed rotating wire-brushing to obtain the deformed zone with dislocation cells and nanocrystallines. SNC promotes the anodic dissolution and corrosion rate of the Cu-Mg alloy in the initial stage of immersion corrosion in 0.1 M NaCl solution. The weakened corrosion resistance is mainly attributed to the higher corrosion activity of SNC-treated alloy. With extending the immersion time, the SNC-treated alloy slows the corrosion rate dramatically and exhibits uniform dissolution of the surface. The formation of the dense corrosion products leads to the improvement of overall corrosion performance. It indicates that the SNC-treated Cu-Mg alloy can function reliably for a longer duration in a corrosive environment.
