Corrosion and Materials Degradation, Volume 4, Issue 1

In the present study, Mg-Al layered double hydroxide (Mg-Al/LDH) was synthesized on the surface of AZ31 Mg alloy substrate via in-situ hydrothermal treatment. Synthesis parameters were changed to determine their effect on the lateral size of LDH. For...

Hydrogen, due to corrosion processes, can degrade high strength steels (HSS) through embrittlement and stress corrosion cracking mechanisms. Scanning Kelvin probe (SKP) mapping of surface potential was applied, to visualize the locations with an incr...

Friction stir welded (FSW) aluminum–magnesium lightweight vehicle joints have gained significant interest due to their high strength-to-weight ratio. In this work, the corrosion resistance of this material is analyzed through electrochemical te...

The lifespan of low-carbon steel petroleum pipelines can often be shortened by the erosion–corrosion damage caused by their service conditions. Applying electroless Ni-P coating is a promising option to protect the steel from the environment du...

In order to investigate the electrochemical pitting corrosion in more detail, a micro-corrosion cell was developed, allowing real-time in situ optical observations of steel surfaces in direct correlation with electrochemical measurement results. In t...

India’s growing power demands and emission norms require more efficient coal-based power plants. The shifting of power plants from subcritical to ultra-supercritical (USC) steam conditions could improve efficiency by 12% and reduce CO2 emission...

Aqueous zinc ions lower the corrosion rate of Alloy 600, which helps lower the radiation dose rate in pressurized water reactors (PWRs). The influence of zinc on the electrochemical behavior of Alloy 600 in PWR primary water (PW) at 320 °C was in...

Polymeric coatings have been widely selected for the corrosion resistance of metallic surfaces. Both the conducting and non-conducting polymers have been applied for corrosion confrontation. The conducting polymers usually possess high electrical con...
