Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The desired properties of surface components include the improvement of different properties, such as aesthetic appearance, oxidation resistance, wear resistance, mechanical properties, electronic or electrical properties, thermal insulation, and corrosion resistance through barriers.

These properties can be enhanced using different methods, such as by adding a coating. Nevertheless, the bulk of the material or substrate cannot be considered independent of the surface treatment.

Potential topics for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the full range of surface engineering aspects, i.e., surface integrity, contact mechanics, friction and wear, coatings and surface treatments, multiscale tribology, computational methods, and optimization techniques applied in surface engineering.

Contributions to this Special Issue are welcomed on all subjects of manufacturing and surface engineering. We especially welcome are papers that raise new questions and new possibilities or examine old problems from a new angle.

Wire beam electrode techniques and classical electrochemical techniques were used to investigate the effect of the area ratio of each part of the welded joint on the galvanic corrosion behavior. The results showed that the order of the corrosion current density of the different regions in the simulated X80 steel welded joint was as follows: coarse-grained heat-affected zone > fine-grained heat-affected zone > intercritical heat-affected zone > base metal > weld metal. As the area ratio of weld metal increased, the galvanic potential shifted positively, the maximum anode galvanic current density increased and the main anode galvanic effect increased. On the other hand, as the area ratio of the base metal and the heat-affected zone decreased, the coupled potential shifted negatively and the maximum anode galvanic current density decreased. The galvanic corrosion intensity of the simulated X80 steel welded joint increased as the area ratio of the weld metal decreased and increased as the area ratio of the heat-affected zone and base metal increased. To enhance corrosion resistance, it is advisable to choose a shape with a larger groove to increase the WM area in the welded joint. Additionally, selecting a welding method with lower heat input and a higher energy density can help reduce the HAZ area in the welded joint. Full article

Ti-45Al-8Nb alloy is widely utilized in the lightweight design of the aerospace field because of its excellent properties. In order to make full use of this alloy, it is important to carry out relevant research, such as into the joining process of Ti-45Al-8Nb alloy. In this work, Ti-45Al-8Nb alloys were successfully connected by a TiZrCuNi amorphous interlayer, which was fabricated using the rapid solidification method. Ti-45Al-8Nb joints were composed of two zones. The typical microstructure of a Ti-45Al-8Nb joint was Ti-45Al-8Nb/AlCuTi + Ti3Al/(Ti, Zr)(Cu, Ni) + (Ti, Zr)2(Cu, Ni)/Ti3Al + AlCuTi/Ti-45Al-8Nb. The diffusion of elements between the interlayer and the substrate was enhanced by increasing the brazing temperature, which resulted in an increase in the thickness of the interfacial reaction layer. The maximum shear strength was 171.2 MPa, which was obtained at 930 °C. The typical cleavage fracture was found in all of the Ti-45Al-8Nb joints. The mechanical properties of the joint were compromised at high brazing temperature due to the presence of excessive (Ti, Zr)2(Cu, Ni) phase and coarse Ti3Al phase, both of which are inherently brittle and harmful to the shear strength of the obtained joint.

This study investigates the intricate process of surface polishing for ITO-coated Pyrex glass utilizing magnetic abrasive polishing (MAP) while employing acoustic emission (AE) sensors for real-time defect monitoring. MAP, known for its versatility in achieving nanoscale thickness processing and uniform surfaces, has been widely used in various materials. However, the complexity of the process, influenced by multiple variables like cutting conditions, material properties, and environmental factors, poses challenges to maintaining high surface quality. To address this, a sensor monitoring system, specifically one that uses AE sensors, was integrated into the MAP process to detect and confirm defects, providing real-time insights into machining conditions and outcomes. AE sensors excel in identifying material deterioration, microcrack formation, and wear, even in cases of minor damage. Leveraging AE sensor data, this study aims to minimize surface defects in ITO thin films during MAP while optimizing surface roughness. The investigation involves theoretical validation, magnetic density simulations, and force sensor pressure measurements to identify factors influencing surface roughness. ANOVA analysis is employed to determine optimal processing conditions. Additionally, this study compares the identified optimal roughness conditions with those predicted by AE sensor parameters, aiming to establish a correlation between predicted and achieved surface quality. The integration of AE sensor monitoring within the MAP process offers a promising avenue for enhancing surface quality by effectively identifying and addressing defects in real time. This comprehensive analysis contributes to advancing the understanding of surface polishing methodologies for ITO-coated Pyrex glass, paving the way for improved precision and quality in thin-film surface processes.

In the present work, the inhibitory effect of Ilex paraguariensis (Yerba Mate) extract on the corrosion of aluminum in 0.1 M HCl solution, in the temperature range of 298–323 K, was studied by using weight loss tests, potentiodynamic polarization measurements and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The extract of Ilex paraguariensis exhibits improved inhibitory action as its concentration increases while its performance is maintained despite an increase in temperature. EIS theoretical data according to a suitable proposed equivalent circuit were successfully fitted to the experimental data. The adsorption of organic compounds followed a modified Langmuir isotherm behaviour. Derived thermodynamic parameters indicate the occurrence of both chemical and physical adsorption. Full article
