The aim of the study was to evaluate how heat processing used for dental porcelain firing influences the surface properties of sintered and casted CoCr alloy. Two CoCr alloys, Soft Metal LHK (milling in soft material and sintering) and MoguCera C (casting), were used for the study. The samples were examined using SEM–EDS before and after heat treatment. Next, corrosion examinations (Ecorr, jcorr, polarization curve, Ebr) were performed. Finally, the samples were evaluated under SEM. Based on the results, the following conclusions might be drawn: 1. Thermal treatment (porcelain firing) did not cause chemical impurities formation on the surface of CoCr alloy; 2. The sintered metal exhibited significantly higher corrosion resistance than the casted one due to its homogeneity of structure and chemical composition; 3. Heat treatment (porcelain firing) decreased the resistance of casted and sintered CoCr alloy to electrochemical corrosion. The reduction in corrosion resistance was significantly higher for the casted alloy than for the sintered alloy; 4. The corrosion resistance decrease might be due to an increased thickness and heterogeneity of oxide layers on the surface (especially for the casted alloy). The development of corrosion process started in the low-density areas of the oxide layers; 5. The sintered metal seems to be a favourable framework material for porcelain fused to metal crowns.

AbstractThe paper presents the influence of heat treatment on the structure and corrosion resistance of X5CrNi18-10 steel. To determine the structure which has been obtained after heat treatment the methods of light and scanning electron microscopy with EDS microanalysis were used. The electrochemical corrosion properties of the investigated steel were studied in 3.5% NaCl solution using potentiodynamic polarization tests. Basing on the registered curves, the corrosion current, polarization resistance and corrosion potential were determined. The corrosion tests were followed by fractographic researches.

Zn-Al-Cu alloys are used primarily because of their tribological properties as an alternative material for bronze, cast iron and aluminum alloy bearings and as a construction material. Particularly interesting are high aluminum zinc alloys. Monoeutectic zinc and aluminum alloys are characterized by the highest hardness, tensile strength and wear resistance of all of the zinc alloys. A significant problem with the use of the Zn-Al-Cu alloys is their insufficient resistance to electrochemical corrosion. Properties of Zn-Al-Cu alloys can be improved by heat treatment. The purpose of examination was to determine the effect of heat treatment (aging at various temperatures) on the microstructure and corrosion resistance of the ZnAl40Cu3 alloy. The scope of the examination included: structural examinations, determination of hardness using Brinell’s method and corrosion resistance examinations. Ageing at higher temperatures causes a creation of areas where is an eutectoid mixture. The study showed that ageing causes a decrease in hardness of ZnAl40Cu3 alloy. This decrease is even greater, when the temperature of ageing is lower. The studies have shown a significant influence of ageing on the corrosion resistance of the alloy ZnAl40Cu3. Maximum corrosion resistance were characterized by the sample after ageing at higher temperatures.

Abstract Martensitic stainless steels are used in a large number of various industrial applications, e.g. molds for plastic injections and glass moldings, automotive components, cutting tools, surgical and dental instruments. The improvement of their tribological and corrosion properties is a problem of high interest especially in medical applications, where patient safety becomes a priority. The paper covers findings from plasma nitrided AISI 440B (PN-EN or DIN X90CrMoV18) stainless steel corrosion resistance studies. Conventionally heat treated and plasma nitrided in N2:H2 reaction gas mixture (50:50, 65:35 and 80:20, respectively) in two different temperature ranges (380 or 450°C) specimens groups were examined. Microscopic observations and electrochemical corrosion tests were performed using a variety of analytical techniques. As obtained findings show, plasma nitriding of AISI 440B stainless steel, regardless of the process temperature, results in reduction of corrosion current density. Nevertheless, applying thermo-chemical process which requires exceeding temperature of about 400°C is not recommended due to increased risk of steel sensitization to intergranular and stress corrosion. According to the results, material ion nitrided in 450°C underwent leaching corrosion processes, which led to significant disproportion in chemical composition of the corroded and corrosion-free areas. The authors suggest further research into corrosion process of plasma nitrided materials and its degradation products.

The AA3003 alloy is widely used as fin material in heat exchangers. The life time of these heat exchangers is mostly determined by their corrosion properties. Twin roll casting (TRC) of AA3003 material is known to often result in the formation of a macrosegregation area of alloying elements towards the centre plane of the casted strip (centre line segregation = CLS). Considering the potential exposure of cross-sectional areas of TRC material in the heat exchanger fin application, and the relatively high corrosion susceptibility of the CLS, the study of this region is of key importance to understand the microstructural effects on the resulting corrosion mechanisms and kinetics for these materials. Typically the alloys are homogenized to bring the microstructures closer to an equilibrium state, but the impact of this heat treatment on the corrosion properties is insufficiently studied. Therefore, this study investigates the effect of different homogenization procedures on the corrosion properties of the CLS and the interaction of the intermetallic particles with the surrounding aluminium matrix. This work shows that the pitting corrosion resistance is greatly dependent on the homogenization temperature, with better corrosion resistance obtained with higher temperature, especially near the CLS. This difference in corrosion behaviour is completely attributed to a difference in microstructure and not to an oxide layer effect. Furthermore, it is observed that not only temperature will have a large influence on the corrosion resistance, but duration of the heat treatment as well.

Recently, the fuel oil of diesel engines of marine ships is being changed to heavy oil of low quality as the oil price is getting higher and higher. Therefore, the wear and corrosion in all parts of the engine, such as cylinder liner, piston crown, and spindle and seat ring of exhaust valves has predominantly increased. Thus, the repair welding of the piston crown is a unique method to prolong its life in a economical point of view. In this case, filler metals with a high corrosion and wear resistance are mainly being used for repair welding. However, the piston crown on the ships job site is often actually being welded with mild filler metals. Therefore, in this study, mild filler metals, such as E4301, E431316, and E4316, were welded to the SS401 steel as the base metal, and the corrosion properties of their weld metals with and without post weld heat treatment were investigated with some electrochemical methods in 0.1% H2SO4 solution. The weld metal welded with E4301 filler metal exhibited the best corrosion resistance among the filler metals in the case of no heat treatment, however, its resistance was considerably decreased due to the post weld heat treatment (annealing:625°C, 2hr). In particular, the weld metal of E4316 exhibited relatively a good corrosion resistance by the post weld heat treatment.

Influence of heat treatment on the corrosion resistance of the aluminum-copper (Al-Cu) coating on the aluminum substrate was investigated. The coating was produced by the electrical discharge alloying (EDA) method. The surface and microstructure of the specimens were observed by a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The phase analysis of the composite materials by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) indicated that intermetallic compounds (i.e., CuAl2 and Cu9Al4) were formed through reactions between Al and Cu. during the EDA process. A significant increase in the hardness of the Al-Cu coating was affected by the improvement of the alloy structure. The heat treatment of materials was carried out at 400 °C or 600 °C in the air atmosphere. A corrosion test of materials was carried out by using electrochemical methods. The corrosive environment was acidic chloride solution. After heat treatment at 400 °C the mechanical properties of the Al/Cu alloy increased significantly and the oxide layer protect of the alloy surface against corrosion. However, after heat treatment at elevated temperature, i.e., 600 °C it was found that the (Al2O3)ads and (CuO)ads coatings were destroyed. The mechanical properties of the Al/Cu alloy decreased, and its surface has undergone deep electrochemical corrosion.

The ceria coatings on AZ91 substrates were successfully synthesized by chemical conversion and the corrosion resistance of AZ91 samples with and without ceria coatings were evaluated by means of electrochemical corrosion in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution. According to the parameters derived from the polarization date, the Icorr (the corrosion current density) values of the coated samples are smaller than that of bare one, indicating that the corrosion resistance of AZ91 alloys has been improved to some extent. The influence of fluoridated pretreatment, inter-layer heat treatment, sintering temperature and the layer of films on the performance of ceria coatings were also investigated. It was found that the inter-layer heat treatment has no influence on improving the anticorrosion resistance of AZ91 alloy. In comparison with the bare one, the Icorr of optimal sample is about 0.0219mA/cm2, which decreases by two orders of magnitude, indicating that the ceria coatings could significantly improve the corrosion resistance of AZ91 magnesium alloy.

Abstract The actual industrial trend is focused on weight reduction of constructions while preserving strength properties. For this purpose, conventional steel are replaced by high strength steels.. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of mechanical surface pre-treatment on corrosion resistance of high strength low alloy steel Domex 700 before and after surface treatment by manganese phosphating. Tested environment was 0,1M NaCl solution. Evaluation of mechanical pre-treatment and phosphating effects on corrosion resistance was realized by electrochemical measurements: potentiodynamic polarization measurements (Tafel analysis) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (equivalent circuits). From resulsts it is possible to conclude, that creation of manganese phosphate layer on ground and shot peened steel surface significantly increases the corrosion resistance of Domex 700 steel.

The aim. The development of methodology for experimental and theoretical assessment of interaction forces between magnets in an orthodontic apparatus, the test of corrosion resistance of protective oxide and nitride coatings deposited on Nd-Fe-B magnets surface. Materials and methods. The Nd-Fe-B permanent magnets with saturation magnetization Ms≈1100 G and bilayer ZrN / ZrO2 coatings were used. To experimental measure of interaction forces between magnets the device was assembled on the base of analytical balance. The distance between the magnets was varied using non-magnetic plates. The ZrO2 and ZrN coatings have been analyzed for their corrosion properties in 0.9 % NaCl quasi-physiological solution. Results. An original method was proposed for calculating of magnetic interaction forces for materials with high magnetic anisotropy, which has good agreement with experimental measurement of forces. The theoretical model takes into account the size of the magnets and the mutual influence of their opposite faces. An increase of corrosion resistance of magnetic materials can be provided by zirconium oxide or nitride compounds, which contribute to inhibition of electrochemical corrosion of Nd-Fe-B magnets. Conclusions. A method for calculating of interaction forces between permanent magnets, which are used for correction of malocclusion in orthodontic, has been developed. The passivation of the Nd-Fe-B permanent magnets surface can be achieved by applying of bilayer ZrN / ZrO2 coating.
