Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to invite you to submit your recent works to this Special Issue on "Durability and Degradation of Protective Coatings—Theoretical Approach and Industrial Practice".

Protective coatings are widely used in order to protect substrate alloy, which is exposed to extremely difficult operating conditions. Elements requiring usage of these coatings work under aggressive environments and high mechanical loads. They should provide appropriate durability of tools, structural elements of machines, devices etc., which are exposed to elevated temperature, chemically and electrochemically aggressive atmospheres, as well as environments promoting erosion and tribological wear. The basic issue leading to suitable durability of material-coating systems is proper recognition of operating conditions and requirements, as well as selection of coating materials and technological approach to preparation of surface and protective coatings deposition. It requires potential exploiters to understand theoretical basics concerning chemical and physical phenomena connected with destruction processes and knowledge regarding selection of technology and selection of materials suitable for preparation of coatings. Proper selection of technology and type of coating, as well as their appropriate preparation, do not guarantee obtaining of desired effects connected with service life improvement. Another aspect of occurring problems are real operating conditions concerning industrial applications, which often differ from design assumptions. Unusual operating conditions, overlapping mechanisms of materials destruction, and exceeded operating parameters may be the cause of unintended and accelerated loss of elements lifetime. Therefore, performance of research expertise, which characterize processes of destruction and proper interpretation of obtained results is basic source of information crucial for reliable recognition of materials destruction mechanisms and undertaking countermeasures. The purpose of these activities should not be focused solely on simple regeneration of protective coatings, but should primarily contain suggestions of more efficient technological solutions, providing economically reasonable enhancement of durability under operating conditions.

In particular, topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Theoretical description of issues connected with processes of protective coatings degradation under industrial conditions.
  • Characteristics of operating conditions and description of material and technological requirements concerning protective coatings systems in various industrial service conditions.
  • Analysis of real examples of destruction and degradation of protective coatings during service, with particular regard to untypical ones.
  • Selection of regeneration processes and reproduction of usable properties of operated surfaces.
  • Methodology of research expertise and results interpretation.

Nowadays there is a need for new generation of biodegradable implants, which should be able to stimulate the healing responses of injured tissues at the molecular level. Magnesium alloys attract great attention as perspective bone implants due to their biocompatibility, physical properties and ability to degrade completely under physiological conditions. The main purpose of this research was assessment of in vitro corrosion and surface morphology after short term in vivo implantation of Mg based implant covered by hydroxyapatite (HA). Mg alloys with the addition of Zr (0.65%), Al (1.85%) and Nd (1.25%) were used. In our work, we propose dipping method for hydroxyapatite coatings formation which has been shown to reduce the corrosion rate of magnesium implants in vivo. Simulated body fluid (SBF; pH 7.4) with ion concentrations approximately equal to those of human blood plasma resembling physiological conditions and citrate buffer with pH 5—simulating inflammation were selected as modelling environments for in vitro degradation test. The rod samples were implanted into the tibia bone of rats and after 1 day and 5 days of implantation were taken out to observe cells adhesion on surface samples. SEM was used to assess surface morphology after in vitro and in vivo tests. SBF solution causes some cracks on the surface of HA coatings, while citrate solution at pH 2 caused complete dissolving of the coating. The HA coating favoured cell adhesion and rapid fibrous tissue formation. Full article

The medium and high temperature tribological behavior of different iron aluminide thermal spray coatings was investigated. Several powders synthesized through different routes (ball milling, self-decomposition, and self-propagating high-temperature sintering (SHS)) were evaluated. High heterogeneity of conventional High Velocity Oxygen Fuel (HVOF) coatings plays a vital role in their sliding performance, but as long as their integrity is preserved under high temperature oxidizing conditions, the wear rates are found to be acceptable, as it occurs in the case of ball milled Fe-40Al (at.%) powder. The friction phenomenon and wear mechanisms were analyzed in detail through the wear track morphology, contact surface, and friction coefficients. The occurrence of brittle phases in the sprayed coatings, which are also present when tested at high temperatures, appeared to be crucial in accelerating the coating failure. Full article

One of the major barriers limiting the suitability of TiAl intermetallic alloys for use in the demanding aircraft and automotive industries is their susceptibility to degradation as a result of oxidation at temperatures exceeding 760 °C. Paper presents the characteristics of resistance to cyclic oxidation at 950 °C for Ti–45Al–8Nb–0.5(B, C) alloy with and without protective coating obtained as a result of aluminizing using out of pack method. The characteristics of surface condition were determined by scanning electron microscope with EDS system, transmission electron microscope, and X-ray diffractometer. The favorable behavior of the Ti–45Al–8Nb–0.5(B, C) alloy with a protective coating under cyclic oxidation conditions is a result of a higher content of Al2O3 in the microstructure of the scale and the presence of Al and Nb-rich phases at the substrate interface, which probably constitue a barrier for oxidation process. The high temperature oxidation test revealed that aluminide coating was responsible for a remarkable improvement in the oxidation resistance. Full article

The running-in behavior and the associated transient friction characteristics of a piston ring with different surface treatments are experimentally evaluated using a custom-made engine testing apparatus. Results are reported for a series of running-in and steady-state experiments on piston rings with different combinations of coated and textured surfaces. Comparisons are provided between five different types of piston rings: (1) with no textures; (2) with textures only; (3) with coating only; (4) first textured and then coated; and (5) first coated and then textured. A combination of the texturing and coating showed 12.5% improvement in the frictional behavior and up to 50% improvement in break-in time compared to cases when only one surface treatment was applied.

Protective coatings are the most widely used corrosion protection method for construction materials in different environmental conditions. They isolate metals from aggressive media, making the structure more durable. Today, alongside good anti-corrosive properties, coatings need to be safe for the environment and harmless to those who apply them. The high volatile organic compound (VOC) content in conventional solvent-borne coatings presents a huge ecological problem. A solution for indispensable solvent emission reduction is the application of powder coatings. This study evaluates the corrosion performance and surface morphology of polyester and epoxy–polyester powder coatings. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), open circuit potential (OCP) measurement, salt spray chamber and humidity chamber testing followed by adhesion testing were used to investigate the protective properties of powder coatings. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) was used to analyse the surface morphology and chemical composition, whereas the microstructure and coating uniformity were determined by optical microscope examination. The research revealed a negative influence of coating surface texture on coating thickness and consequently a lack of barrier and adhesion properties. The epoxy–polyester powder coating showed a better performance than the polyester coating. All tested coatings showed uniform structure. Full article
