Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In everyday life, metals are used extensively in infrastructure, transportation, household appliances, and electronic devices. However, these metals and alloys are often exposed to moisture, salt, and pollutants, which can accelerate corrosion. The understanding of electrochemical processes and the implementation of protective measures are essential for extending the service life of metals and alloys in various environments. Electrochemical methods play a crucial role in helping us to understand, monitor, and control corrosion processes. Based on this, scientists can predict corrosion rates, identify areas at risk, and develop effective protection strategies. Techniques such as electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, potentiodynamic polarization, and open-circuit potential measurements are often used to investigate corrosion mechanisms and evaluate protective coatings or inhibitors. Therefore, this Special Issue focuses on scientific papers on the electrochemical corrosion of metals and alloys in different environments, electrochemical methods for monitoring the corrosion rate of metallic materials, and the application of different methods for corrosion protection in aggressive environments.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Metals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

In this study, Cu-Sn alloys with varying compositions were synthesized using nickel sulfate as a structure-directing agent during electrodeposition. The crystalline structure of the alloys and the influence of nickel sulfate on the morphology were systematically investigated. The corrosion behavior of these alloys was examined in 3.5 wt.% NaCl and 0.1 M HNO3 solutions using kinetic potential polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques. X-ray diffractometry (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were employed to analyze the corrosion products of the alloys. The result revealed that the absolute value of corrosion potential of Cu43Sn57 alloy prepared by adding nickel sulfate in 3.5 wt. % NaCl solution decreased from 0.259 V to 0.186 V, and the corrosion current density decreased from 9.456 × 10−6 mA cm−2 to 1.248 × 10−6 mA cm−2. In 0.1 M HNO3 solution, the absolute values of corrosion potential of Cu43Sn57 alloy prepared by adding nickel sulfate decreased from 0.065 V to 0.028 V, and the corrosion current density decreased from 5.384 × 10−5 mA cm−2 to 2.63 × 10−5 mA cm−2. This research contributes to the understanding of how structural modification affects the electrochemical performance of Cu-Sn alloys. Full article

Stainless steels are used in the aeronautical industry for their corrosion resistance and good mechanical performance. The chemical treatment used to improve corrosion resistance is passivation, forming a compact, continuous, adherent chromium oxide film. This research aimed to investigate the effect of citric acid at different concentrations (citric acid; citric acid + oxalic acid, citric acid + hydrogen peroxide, and citric acid + hydrogen peroxide + ethanol) on AM 350 stainless steel passivated for 90 and 120 min at 25 and 50 °C and immersed in 5% by weight sodium chloride (NaCl) solutions. The electrochemical technique used was electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) based on ASTM-G106. The EIS (equivalent circuit) results indicate that there are one and two constant phase elements (CPE), which indicate the presence of various factors on the stainless steel surface, such as roughness and the formation of porous and passive layers, respectively. A double-layer system was employed for some samples. However, when the ethanol was added to the passivation bath, the behavior changed to a one-time constant system. The AM 350 passivated in citric and oxalic acid presented the higher corrosion resistance with values of 6 × 105 Ω·cm2. Full article
