Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue has been designed and developed with an overarching aim to provide a platform for original, significant and impactful research regarding the corrosion in interacting systems that operate in harsh loading, pressure, lubrication and environmental conditions for publication.

The scope of the Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, micro- and nano-scale corrosion mechanisms, degradation and reliability of engineering materials under extreme and climatic conditions, high-resolution and advanced electrochemical characterisation techniques, condition monitoring and diagnostics, tribological performance of materials, contact mechanics, and experimental as well as mathematical and computational modelling approaches. Interdisciplinary studies that bridge materials science, mechanical engineering, tribology, and electrochemistry are particularly encouraged.

This Special Issue offers an opportunity for researchers from academia and industry to disseminate their latest findings, demonstrate their scientific and technological significance, and contribute to the development of durable, reliable, and sustainable engineering systems.

Bearings are essential components in mechanical systems, with ceramic ball bearings increasingly adopted in turbine, automotive, and aerospace applications due to their superior strength and durability. Despite these advantages, bearings are subjected to significant cyclic loading, which can accelerate plastic deformation and lead to sudden catastrophic failure. Current approaches for predicting bearing lifespan rely on time-consuming theoretical and experimental methods. This study proposes a more efficient finite element (FE) approach to predict fatigue behaviour in silicon nitride ball bearings operating under lubricated conditions. In this research, a 12.7 mm diameter silicon nitride ball bearing was analysed under a Hertzian contact pressure of 3 GPa using SolidWorks Simulation 2023(SWS). Friction coefficients ranging from 0.00 to 1.00 were investigated to represent different lubrication conditions. The results indicate that the stress amplitude remained below the fatigue limit of 1.02 GPa for friction coefficients up to 0.80, while fatigue failure was predicted at a coefficient of 1.00, corresponding to 1.086 × 104 cycles.

This study examines the development of a steady state in the cyclic wear process for various combinations of metallic and inorganic materials. Energy dissipation is widely acknowledged as a significant parameter in wear mechanisms. However, at the nanoscale, the linear correlation between energy dissipation and wear progression is not consistently applicable. In this study, experimental observations of cyclic wear between scanning probe microscopy (SPM) cantilevers and substrate displacement were conducted. Substrate vibrations were monitored using a laser Doppler vibrometer, which facilitated the direct estimation of energy dissipation at nanocontacts during cyclic loading. The wear rates of the substrates decreased with an increase in the number of cyclic loadings, indicating the formation of a transfer steady state at the interface. Symmetric contact mode, based on the viscoelastic behavior of the contact, and asymmetric mode, based on adhesion between the interfaces, are commonly observed. The asymmetric mode evolved in the later stages of cyclic wear, suggesting the transfer of the steady state between the interfaces. A linear relationship between energy dissipation and wear rates was still observed for metallic substrates, whereas a steady state was observed for inorganic materials. This difference can be attributed to material exchange at the interfaces. Full article

The aim of this review is to clarify the mechanism and influencing factors of flow-assisted corrosion in multi-medium transmission pipelines for pipeline safety management, along with the progress in nondestructive testing in this vein. Such pipelines undergo severe flow-assisted corrosion under multiphase-flow, high-temperature, high-pressure, and complex chemical conditions, threatening structural integrity and operational safety. This study summarizes the dominating roles of aqueous wetting, mass transfer, and flow-induced shear stress in corrosion evolution and analyzes the coupling effects of hydrodynamics, medium chemistry, and material properties on corrosion deterioration. The applicational advantages and limitations of ultrasonic guided-wave, magnetic flux leakage, and eddy current testing in corrosion detection are systematically concluded. Future development trends combining artificial intelligence, machine learning, and digital twins are projected, providing a reference for intelligent detection and full-life-cycle integrity management of transmission pipelines.

The high emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere have driven the development of carbon capture, transport, and storage (CCTS) technologies. These focus on capturing CO2 from industrial exhaust gases and transporting it through existing pipeline networks. Although various capture techniques are available, they may introduce impurities such as O2, N2, Ar, H2O, NH3, and others into the CO2 stream. These contaminants can significantly alter the thermophysical behaviour of the fluid, making the phase behaviour predictions, reliable for pure CO2, much more complex. Pressure and temperature variations along pipelines can induce unexpected phase transitions, affecting fluid composition and potentially triggering corrosion. This review examines the formation of condensates within pipelines and their role in initiating corrosion phenomena, with a focus on top of the line corrosion (TLC) and conventional CO2-induced corrosion (sweet corrosion). The main literature findings highlight how phase changes and altered fluid composition due to corrosion processes can significantly intensify degradation mechanisms during CO2 transport. Full article
