Corrosion and Materials Degradation, Volume 7, Issue 2

In this work, an experimental evaluation was performed using four analytical methods applied to electrochemical noise (EN) signals to estimate the corrosion rate ($C_r$) of reinforced concrete structures. A dataset comprising 10,166 synchronized EN file...

This research examines the hydrothermal corrosion behaviour of ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) under highly alkaline conditions (pH > 11.5) in the framework of a deep geological repository for high-level radioactive waste (HLW). The study focuses...

This study investigates the effect of sintering temperature on the hot-corrosion behavior of Ti-6Al-4V alloy in a molten salt environment. Samples were sintered at 800 °C, 900 °C, 1000 °C and 1100 °C, then exposed to the Na₂SO₄—...

The use of alternative water sources in construction, especially in regions with limited freshwater availability, makes the influence of mixing water composition on the durability of cement mortars a critical issue, particularly under aggressive cond...

Microbially induced corrosion is a common problem in the petroleum industry. In this study, weight loss and surface analysis of grade 20 carbon steel corrosion witness samples were used to evaluate biocorrosion in produced fluids from different wells...

The article deals with non-destructive methodologies for assessing and preventing corrosion of polymer-coated underground pipelines, advanced corrosion-barrier coating systems based on extruded three-layer high-density polyethylene (3LPE), corrosion...

Aluminum–lithium (Al–Li) alloys are widely used in aerospace applications because of their high strength-to-weight ratio and reduced density. However, their corrosion behavior can be significantly affected by thermomechanical processing a...

This study investigates the corrosion behaviour of a WC–6Co cemented carbide (94 wt% WC, 6 wt% Co) in acidic (pH 2) and alkaline (pH 13) electrolytes used for industrial PVD coating removal. The removal of the coating was not investigated, sinc...

Tribocorrosion is one of the main degradation mechanisms affecting metallic components exposed simultaneously to mechanical wear and electrochemical corrosion. In this work, the influence of the Nb/Ti ratio on the tribocorrosion behavior of Fe–...

This study quantitatively analyzed rust-streak formation under controlled droplet supply and its relationship with the rust-removed surface profile of the substrate. A NaCl aqueous solution was dropped at a constant flow rate onto SPCC steel plates i...

This study evaluated the influence of scan rate (4.23 mm/s [S10] and 6.35 mm/s [S15]) on the localized corrosion and tribocorrosion behavior of a laser engineered net shaping (LENS)-produced stainless steel 316L (SS316L) in a phosphate-buffered salin...

Mild steel remains one of the most widely used structural materials in mechanical and industrial engineering due to its favorable mechanical performance and low cost. However, its high susceptibility to corrosion continues to cause significant operat...

Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) tower systems require receiver materials capable of operating above 1000 °C to meet the efficiency targets of third-generation technologies (25–30%). Hybrid solutions, combining ceramic coatings with metallic...

Models are described for calculating the crack initiation times for Alloy 600 and Type 304 SS in PWR and BWR primary coolant circuits, respectively. In PWRs, initiation is defined in terms of the grain boundary oxidation concept of Scott and Le Calva...

This study analyses the behaviour of brass CB773S with extra-low-lead content in relation to corrosion and the corrosion–cavitation phenomenon. Electrochemical corrosion tests, both potentiodynamic and potentiostatic, as well as corrosion&ndash...

For the corrosion behavior of three extruded Mg alloys (WE43, Mg10Gd, ZX10), the corrosion morphology and the resulting local stress distribution are correlated with the residual strength using µCT, Digital Image Correlation and tensile tests....

This study proposes a new deep learning-based approach for detecting pitting corrosion on stainless-steel sheet pile surfaces in drainage channels. Conventional ultrasonic thickness measurement methods cannot detect microscopic pitting corrosion that...

Flashover events can induce rapid surface condition changes on outdoor ceramic insulators, while early-stage degradation is typically assessed indirectly through long-term ageing or electrical diagnostics. This study proposes an event-based, surface-...
