There are a number of ways to improve the corrosion and abrasion resistance of metals, including alloying, anodizing, nitriding and application of protective thin films. Alloying involves generating a binary phase diagram to determine the optimum composition and temperature dependence. For example, copper alloys known as “bronzes” offer high strength, abrasion resistance and high temperature co...

In this work, the effects of tropical marine atmospheric environment on corrosion behaviour 7B04-T74 aluminium alloy were systematically investigated by using accelerated testing, together with kinetic analysis, microstructure observation, product composition and potentiodynamic polarization curve tests. The weight loss method was used for kinetics analysis. surface morphology products transfor...

In the present paper, formation of protective coatings on MA8 magnesium alloy by plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) with subsequent treatment fluoropolymer is considered. The morphology after accelerated climatic tests was investigated and elemental composition studied in a salt spray chamber (SSC). analysis obtained results demonstrated higher corrosion resistance fluoropolymer-containing lay...
