Topical Collection Information

Dear Colleagues,

Material degradation and loss due to corrosion, wear, and erosion is a serious contemporary issue that primarily limits the useful life of equipment, engineering materials, constructions, hydraulic transportation systems, etc. Material degradation is causing severe ecological problems all around the world.

Driven by the current state of knowledge of mechanisms for the prevention of materials destruction in exploitation conditions, the need to maintain structural material integrity and reliability assets under harsh environments has encouraged experimental, theoretical, and modeling activities in the field of corrosion, wear, and erosion research and prevention.

The present Section focuses on the advancement of basic and applied knowledge concerning the nature of corrosion, wear, and erosion of metallic, nonmetallic, and composite materials and the analysis and development of innovative solutions to practical engineering problems.

Papers that fall within the subjects of physics, chemistry, material science, or mechanical engineering should provide comprehensive insight into corrosion resistance, mechanical properties, and interface characterization, with emphasis on enhanced functional performance for different applications.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

  • New appearance in general and localized corrosion, corrosion-resistant alloys;
  • Theoretical and experimental research, knowledge and new ideas in corrosion, wear and erosion protective and preventive mechanisms;
  • Principles and modes of surface engineering for corrosion, erosion, and wear inhibition;
  • Protective coatings including smart functional and self-healing coatings;
  • The development and use of new test methods for corrosion and wear evaluation and characterization;
  • Relationships among the structure, composition, and properties of materials and their corrosion and wear behavior.

In this work, ZnLaAl layered double hydroxides (LDHs) were prepared by the co-precipitation method, and the ZnLaAl-LDHs nanosheets were embedded in sol-gel coating for the corrosion protection of 6061 aluminum alloys. The structure, morphology, and long-term anti-corrosion performance of sol-gel coating modified with ZnLaAl-LDHs were investigated. The structure and morphology analysis showed that nanosheets of ZnLaAl-LDHs are finer than those of ZnAl-LDHs, with the results suggesting that the La can refine the size of LDHs’ nanosheets and improve their nucleation rate. The results of long-term corrosion tests showed that the sol-gel coating with ZnLaAl-LDHs exhibits higher corrosion resistance and better stability compared with the sol-gel coating with ZnAl-LDHs, which indicates that the addition of La enhances the anti-corrosion performance of the LDHs and improves the stability of sol-gel coating with LDHs. Finally, the formation mechanism of ZnLaAl-LDHs and the corrosion mechanism of sol-gel coating with ZnLaAl-LDHs on 6061 aluminum alloys are both discussed in detail. Full article

In this paper, two kinds of micro-arc oxidation (MAO) coatings on TA2 with different thickness were prepared by controlled oxidation time and then were characterized for their composition, crystalline structure, and surface morphology. The effect of MAO treatment on electrochemical corrosion behaviors of TA2 in 3.5% NaCl solution were studied by the electrochemical measurements including open circuit potential (OCP), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potentiodynamic polarization curves. The results indicate that the electrochemical behavior of MAO coating is related to the coating structure. OCP can be used to evaluate the porosity of MAO coating. More positive OCP indicates coating with lower porosity and larger resistance obtained from EIS. The MAO treatment can significantly enhance the corrosion resistance of TA2, but the thickness increase of MAO coating could not further improve the corrosion resistance. In addition, because of the increase in effective surface area, the MAO treatment may enhance the cathode action of TA2 when the galvanic cell is composed of TA2 and other more negative metal, which in turn promotes the corrosion of negative metal.

The present work describes one possible way to prepare a stable aqueous suspension of carbon sphere particles with a positive charge that is suitable for simultaneous electrodeposition with zinc on steel substrate. In order to stabilize the suspension against aggregation, tri-block amphiphilic copolymer Pluronic F127, which is commercially available, was adsorbed on the surface of carbon sphere particles. This polymer contained poly (ethylene oxide) blocks as hydrophilic segments and poly (propylene oxide) blocks as the hydrophobic part. Scanning electron microscopy and visual observations confirmed the stability of the obtained suspension. The carbon sphere particles were embedded into the zinc coating by the co-electrodeposition process. The surface morphology of the composite coating was investigated using scanning electron microscopy. The influence of the carbon spheres on the cathodic and anodic processes was evaluated with cyclic voltammetry studies. The electrochemical investigations were realized in a model corrosion medium (5% NaCl solution with pH 6.7) by application of selected methods such as polarization resistance, potentiodynamic polarization, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, which revealed higher protective ability of the composite coating against corrosion in an aggressive environment.
