High-temperature corrosion is a frequently observed phenomenon in waste incineration facilities. Municipal solid waste presents substantial corrosion potential attributed to elevated chlorine content and significant inhomogeneity in calorific value a...
Comprehensive data are presented for corrosion losses of mild steel exposed for up to 5 years, all obtained from exposing steel coupons at one specific severe marine exposure site on the Pacific Ocean coast. The test programme considered the effects...
With the increasing number of existing buildings, the implementation of durability-preserving repair procedures is becoming increasingly important. The chemical re-alkalization (CRA) enables the protection of reinforced concrete structures exposed to...
Polymer-bonded Nd–Fe–B and Sm–Fe–N magnets have excellent magnetic properties, but their corrosion resistance is inferior. Polymer-bonded magnets, the binary alloys Nd–Fe and Sm–Fe, and the metals Fe, Nd, and Sm we...
Chlorides have long been held responsible for the initiation and progression of the corrosion of reinforcing steels in concrete structures, with higher concentrations assumed to cause earlier and more severe subsequent reinforcement corrosion. Howeve...
This study investigates the effectiveness of calcined magnesium–aluminium layered double hydroxide (CLDH) as a functional additive for mitigating carbonation-induced corrosion in alkali-activated slag concrete (AASC). Mixtures incorporating dif...
This research investigates the impact of incorporating montmorillonite-based nanoclay additives on the anti-corrosive properties of a polyester/triglycidyl isocyanurate (polyester/TGIC) powder coating on phosphated steel. The self-repairing capabilit...
Corrosion has a significant impact on the economic and environmental sustainability of metal-based infrastructure and products. This position paper explores the intrinsic relationship between corrosion protection and sustainability, examining the eco...
Corrosion of steel reinforcement is one of the primary causes of deterioration in reinforced concrete structures, significantly impacting their durability and structural performance. This review comprehensively examines various techniques used to eva...
We investigated the protective properties of ultrathin laminated coatings, comprising three pairs of Al2O3 and TiO2 sublayers with coating thicknesses < 150 nm, deposited on AISI 310 stainless steel (SS) and Si (100) substrates at 80–500 &de...
Ultrahigh-temperature ceramic composites based on hafnium diboride have a wide range of applications, including as components for high-speed aircraft and energy generation and storage devices. Consequently, developing methodologies for their fabricat...
In the framework of hydrogen production and storage for clean energy generation, the resistance to hydrogen embrittlement of a newly developed austenitic stainless steel is presented. Gas-atomized metal powders prepared from secondary-sourced metals...
Graphene, graphene oxide, reduced graphene oxide, and few-layer graphene as functional coating materials for corrosion protection in devices for electrochemical energy conversion and storage are reviewed. Reported applications are briefly described,...
Corrosion, combined with cyclic loading, is inevitable and becomes a challenging problem, even when inherently corrosion-protected materials have been selected and applied based on established in-house experience. Aero engine mount structures are exp...
Measuring interfacial roughness is essential in evaluating the adhesion of coatings and thermally grown oxides. Conventional contact methods are often impractical for such analyses, especially when the interface lies beneath a nonremovable layer. Thi...
Hydrogen embrittlement (HE) can significantly degrade the mechanical properties of steels. This phenomenon is particularly relevant for high-strength steels where large elastic stresses lead to detrimental localized concentrations of hydrogen at defe...
In a recent investigation the corrosion-fighting potential of five benzaldehyde derivatives were explored: 4-Formylbenzonitrile (BA1), 4-Nitrobenzaldehyde (BA2), 2-Hydroxy-5-methoxy-3-nitrobenzaldehyde (BA3), 3,5-Bis(trifluoromethyl)benzaldehyde (BA4...
This study investigates the tensile behaviors of wrought 44W steel, Monel 400, 304L austenitic stainless steel, and arc-directed energy deposited (arc-DED) 308L austenitic stainless steel under simulated hydrogen environments to evaluate their endura...
The decommissioning and dismantling of nuclear research reactors can lead to a large amount of low- and intermediate-level radioactive waste. For repositories, the materials must be kept confined and safety must be ensured for extended time spans. Wa...
