The electrochemical and corrosion behavior of a stainless-steel-based alloy made as a prototype metallic nuclear wasteform to immobilize Tc, has been studied in a number of reference solutions ranging in pH from 4 to 10. The results showed the 47SS(304)-9Zr–23Mo prototype alloy contained at least five distinct phases with the majority of the Re, used as a Tc surrogate, contained within a Fe2Mo ...

Water-soluble metal working fluids are used for processing of aluminum alloy materials. This short article describes properties of new additives in water-soluble metal working fluids for aluminum alloy materials. Many half esters or diesters were prepared from the reactions of higher alcohols with acid anhydrides. Interestingly, diesters of PTMG (tetrahydrofuran oligomer, MW = 650 and 1000) and...

This data analysis was undertaken to investigate the weatherability of steels whose compositions do not fall in the range of ASTM Standard G101, Estimating the Atmospheric Corrosion Resistance of Low-Alloy Steels (1). This standard was developed to estimate the corrosion resistance of low-alloy weathering steels from chemical composition data and from actual atmospheric exposure tests. This sta...

Abstract The rapid bio-corrosion of magnesium-based alloys, the formation hydrogen gas and, consequently, premature loss biomechanical functions hinder their applications as biodegradable implant materials. corrosion becomes even accelerated, when fretting wear occurs at junctions, a result repeated disruptions magnesium (hydr)oxide layer formed on surfaces. To improve overall performance these...

The corrosion behavior of Ti60 alloy covered with a solid NaCl deposit in wet oxygen flow at 600 °C has been studied further by SEM, EDX, XPS, XRD, TEM and EPMA analysis. The results show that solid NaCl and H2O react with Ti oxides, which destroyed the Ti oxide scale to yield the non-protective Na4Ti5O12 and other volatile species. The resulting corrosion product scale was multilayered and con...

This paper reviews the influence of alloying elements Mo, Nb, Ta and Ni on glass formation and corrosion resistance of Cu-based bulk metallic glasses (BMGs). In order to obtain basic knowledge for application to the industry, corrosion resistance of the Cu-Hf-Ti-(Mo, Nb, Ta, Ni) and Cu-Zr-Ag-Al-(Nb) bulk glassy alloy systems in various solutions are reported in this work. Moreover, X-ray photoe...

The protective performance of zeolite coating on AZ91D magnesium alloy was evaluated using potentiodynamic polarisation and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in 0.1 M sodium chloride solution (NaCl). Electrical equivalent circuit (EEC) was developed based upon hypothetical corrosion mechanisms and simulated to correspond to the experimental data. The morphology and the chemical natur...

The microstructures and properties of laser remelted alloy spray coatings were studied by means of wear testing, corrosion testing, microhardness testing, scanning electron microscopy, electron probe microanalysis and transmission electron microscopy. The results show that the wear and corrosion resistance of laser remelted alloy spray coatings is remarkably increased by the addition of CeO . T...

This paper investigates the microstructures and the polarization behaviors of Al7.5Cr22.5Fe35Mn20Ni15 high-entropy alloy in 1M (1 mol/L) deaerated sulfuric acid (H2SO4), nitric acid (HNO3), and hydrochloric acid (HCl) solutions at temperatures of 30–60 ̋C. The three phases of the Al7.5Cr22.5Fe35Mn20Ni15 high-entropy alloy are body-centered cubic (BCC) dendrites, face-centered cubic (FCC) interd...
