The atmospheric corrosion rate of materials changes based on different environmental conditions including time to be exposed to wet condition, relative humidity, surrounding temperature, and impurity of the air. The adhesive bond is relatively weak in conventional surface coating process which may lead the separation of these coatings and reduction of effective coating lifecycle. Some conventio...

This paper reviews the available literature relating to the emerging research into the performance of coatings under combined wear and corrosion conditions. Understanding how coatings perform under these tribo-corrosion conditions is essential if the service life of equipment is to be predicted and to allow service life to be extended. Therefore, the tribo-corrosion performance of coatings depo...

Corrosion behavior of friction stir processing (FSP) WE43 alloy in a simulated body fluid (SBF) was investigated. Micro-galvanic corrosion was the dominated corrosion behavior, and the corrosion resistance of FSP WE43 alloy was improved compared to the cast counterpart. Furthermore, due to the fine-grained and homogeneous microstructure, uniform corrosion morphology was observed on FSP WE43 all...

The application of nanotechnology in the corrosion protection of metals has recently gained momentum; Environmental impact can improved by utilizing nanostructure particulates in corrosion inhibition, Nano composites have also proven to be an effective alternative to other hazardous and toxic compounds, the present article reports some of the preliminary investigations on the corrosion-resistan...

A novel Mannich-modified imidazoline (MMI) as cationic emulsifier was synthesised for corrosion harm reduction, through three steps — acylation, cyclization, and Mannich reaction. The surface activity was characterized by determination of surface tensions and critical micelle concentration (CMC). The corrosion inhibition performance of five types of steels in the simulated corrosion solution in...

Electronic industry uses a number of metallic materials in various forms. Also new materials and technology are introduced all the time for increased performance. In recent years, corrosion of electronic systems has been a significant issue. Multiplicity of materials used is one reason limiting the corrosion reliability. However, the reduced spacing between components on a printed circuit board...

The corrosion fatigue performance of high-strength bolt was studied. Based on the fracture mechanics theory and the Gerberich-Chen formula, the high-strength bolt corrosion fracture crack model and the fatigue life model were established. The high-strength bolt crack depth and the fatigue life under corrosion environment were quantitatively analyzed. The factors affecting high-strength bolt cor...

Calcium acetate, which can be used in concrete to shorten the construction period and to improve productivity, was manufactured using limestone sludge and acetic acid. Calcium acetate contains a carboxyl group, and it can provide anticorrosive properties by forming a complex with the steel surface. We evaluated the basic performance of a carboxylic early-strength agent produced from industrial ...

The withdrawal of effective but toxic corrosion inhibitors has provided an impetus for the discovery of new, benign organic compounds to fill that role. Concurrently, developments in the high-throughput synthesis of organic compounds, the establishment of large libraries of available chemicals, accelerated corrosion inhibition testing technologies, and the increased capability of machine learni...

Background: This research article considers optimization of the four process parameters based on corrosion and wear of electroless Ni-P-Cu coatings. The major characteristics indexes for performance selected to evaluate the processes are corrosion potential (Ecorr), corrosion current density (Icorr) and wear. Among the corresponding four process parameters the first three are coating parameters...
