Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The material property of corrosion resistance is one of the most important in practical applications and determines the lifetime of each product. For years, corrosion of engineering materials has been a big problem in industrial conditions, often causing significant economic losses and catastrophic damage to technical facilities. The material degradation can be minimized and component life extended by the use of suitable alloys and corrosion-resistant coatings produced by many surface engineering methods.

The occurrence of corrosion and its practical control is an area of study covering a wide range of scientific knowledge and requires an interdisciplinary approach to resolving corrosion problems. Hence, the purpose of this Special Issue is to explore the current status of the development and performance of all aspects of alloys, coatings, and surface modification methods aimed at improving the corrosion resistance of the material.

This Special Issue will address the problem of the corrosion of alloys and coating materials. The scope of this Issue is extensive, giving the possibility to present developments and research in all aspects of this field, and includes both metallic and non-metallic corrosion. Key research topics that relate to the Special Issue include but are not limited to the following: cause and rate of corrosion of alloys and coating materials and methods of investigation, quality and mechanisms of deterioration, corrosion protection, and testing to assess corrosion resistance. Subjects of interest will also include the corrosion behavior of metals and their alloys (e.g., aluminum alloys, titanium alloys, and nickel alloys); PVD, CVD, and ALD coatings; and other materials, including nanomaterials.

I kindly invite you to submit your work to this Special Issue. Full papers, communications, and reviews are all welcome.

As a thermal interface material, diamond/GaInSn composites have wide-ranging application prospects in the thermal management of chips. However, studies on systematic reliability that can guide the practical application of diamond/GaInSn in the high-temperature, high-temperature impact, or high-humidity service environments that are faced by chips remain lacking. In this study, the performance evolution of diamond/GaInSn was studied under high-temperature storage (150 °C), high- and low-temperature cycling (−50 °C to 125 °C), and high temperature and high humidity (85 °C and 85% humidity). The experimental results reveal the failure mechanism of semi-solid composites during high temperature oxidation. It is revealed that core oxidation is the key to the degradation of liquid metal composites’ properties under high-temperature storage and high- and low-temperature cycling conditions. Under the conditions of high temperature and high humidity, the failure of Ga-based liquid metal and its composite materials is significant. Therefore, the material should avoid high-temperature and high-humidity environments. Full article

2 at.% Cu + 2 at.% Ni were co-doped in ZnO nanoparticles by a simple hydrothermal method, and then the modified nanoparticles were compounded into Cu-Ni alloy coatings using an electroplating technique. The effects of the current density (15–45 mA/cm2) on the phase structure, surface morphology, thickness, microhardness, corrosion resistance, and photocatalytic properties of the coatings were investigated. The results show that the Cu-Ni-Zn0.96Ni0.02Cu0.02O nanocomposite coatings had the highest compactness and the best overall performance at a current density of 35 mA/cm2. At this point, the co-deposition rate reached its maximum, resulting in the deposition of more Zn0.96Ni0.02Cu0.02O nanoparticles in the coating. More nanoparticles were dispersed in the coating with a better particle strengthening effect, which resulted in a minimum crystallite size of 15.21 nm and a maximum microhardness of 558 HV. Moreover, the surface structure of the coatings became finer and denser. Therefore, the corrosion resistance was significantly improved with a corrosion current density of 2.21 × 10–3 mA/cm2, and the charge transfer resistance was up to 20.98 kΩ·cm2. The maximum decolorization rate of the rhodamine B solution was 24.08% under ultraviolet light irradiation for 5 h. The improvement in the comprehensive performance was mainly attributed to the greater concentration of Zn0.96Ni0.02Cu0.02O nanoparticles in the coating, which played the role of the particle-reinforced phase and reduced the microstructure defects.

Here, 2% Cu + 2% Ni co-doped ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized using the hydrothermal method and were used as particle reinforcements of Cu-Ni nanocomposite coatings prepared by electroplating technology. The effects of the added (Cu, Ni) co-doped ZnO nanoparticles (2–8 g/L) on the phase structure, surface morphology, thickness, microhardness, corrosion resistance, and photocatalytic properties of the coatings were investigated. The nanocomposite coatings have obvious diffraction peaks on the crystal planes of (111), (200), and (220), showing a wurtzite structure. The surface of the nanocomposite coatings is cauliflower-like, and becomes smoother and denser with the increase in the addition of nanoparticles. The grain size, thickness, microhardness, corrosion resistance, and photocatalytic properties of the nanocomposite coating reach a peak value when the added (Cu, Ni) co-doped ZnO nanoparticles are 6 g/L. At this concentration, the mean crystallite size of the coating reaches a minimum of 15.31 nm, and the deposition efficiency of the coating is the highest. The (Cu, Ni) co-doped ZnO nanoparticle reinforcement makes the microhardness reach up to 658 HV. The addition of nanoparticles significantly improves the corrosion resistance and photocatalytic properties of nanocomposite coatings. The minimum corrosion current density is 2.36 × 10−6 A/cm2, the maximum corrosion potential is −0.301 V, and the highest decolorization rate of Rhodamine B is 28.73% after UV irradiation for 5 h.
