Alloys and Composites Corrosion and Mechanical Properties, 2nd Edition

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

With the development and exploration of marine resources, research on underwater robots and submarines is increasing. However, high-performance materials are necessary for the safe service of ocean equipment, constraining the development of marine equipment. For example, for a steel-structure submarine, its working environment runs through all corrosion areas of the ocean (atmospheric, splash, tidal range and full immersion areas) and involves the interactions of multiple strong fields, such as fluid, temperature, stress and electromagnetic fields. The problems of corrosion, fatigue and other failure behaviors in the shell, frame, pipeline and other parts result in the decrease in the strength of the steel structure, leading to faults and accidents.

Therefore, research on corrosion behavior and protection methods for high-performance alloys and composite materials is becoming more and more important. This Topic aims to collate new research results on the compositional design of alloys, material processing technologies, novel composites and coatings to improve the anti-corrosion and mechanical properties of ocean materials. Original research, reviews, mini-reviews and perspective papers are all welcome.

Papers submitted on this Topic concerning corrosion properties, biofilms, coatings, wear, fatigue mechanics, plasticity, alloys, composites, mechanical properties and processing techniques will be considered for publication. Relevant topics may include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Corrosion properties of alloys in the marine environment;
• Marine structural materials;
• Biofilms and coatings;
• High-entropy alloys;
• Development and exploration of marine resources;
• Wear;
• Fatigue;
• Development of hydrogen storage materials;
• Preparation processes, microstructures, mechanical behaviors and corrosion behaviors of alloys;
• Computational design and modeling.
