Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Corrosion is one of the severe problems to affect many industries. It leads to plant and equipment breakdown in industrial sectors, such as energy power plants, chemical and petrochemical plants, automotive, marine, oil and gas, as well as aerospace, causing significant economic losses. More importantly, corrosion endangers individual safety and brings irrecoverable environmental consequences. Successive efforts towards using more complex environments and synergistic effects between corrosion and other modes of failure, such as wear and fatigue, make it essential to develop novel corrosion control methods and techniques. Although it is impossible to eliminate corrosion, the deployment of suitable corrosion control strategies bears promise to mitigate its impact significantly. The need for cost-effective protection, and the challenge of ensuring its adequacy, grows exponentially, particularly in the industry context, where long-term and sustainable approaches are highly demanding.

The scope of this Special Issue will serve as a forum for papers in the following concepts:

  • Theoretical and experimental research, knowledge and new ideas for corrosion protection using protective coatings in small, medium and large industrial scales;
  • Multi-functional coatings manufactured via different processes, e.g., additive manufacturing, thermal spraying, laser and plasma processing, PVD, CVD, and plating;
  • Development of protective coatings used in low- and high-temperature environments typical of industrial applications;
  • Understanding corrosion and failure mechanisms of coatings;
  • Computational modeling and simulation to predict coating properties, performance, durability and reliability in service environments.

In automotive and aerospace fields, the use of lightweight materials is required. Magnesium and its alloys combine a low density with high mechanical properties and excellent thermal conductivity. However, those materials suffer from low corrosion and wear resistances. The combined action of corrosion and wear is also critical for these materials. Tribocorrosion of magnesium alloy AZ31 has been investigated with reciprocal sliding wear as a function of the applied load in dry and wet (NaCl) conditions. The study shows that the main wear mechanisms were adhesion, abrasion, and oxidation in dry sliding wear while no adhesion was found in wet sliding wear. Corrosion of the worn surface occurs also in wet sliding wear. It is interesting to notice that wear is less pronounced in wet sliding wear than in dry sliding wear due to the natural lubrication of the NaCl electrolyte. Only severe conditions, high normal load, and wet conditions bring magnesium AZ31 alloy in filiform corrosion. Full article

Abstract
Anticorrosive coatings are widely used to protect steel against corrosion. Different standards exist to access the corrosion performance of anticorrosive paints. Among them, the so-called neutral salt spray test (NSST-ISO 9227) or cycling corrosion tests ISO 12944-6, ISO 12944-9, NACE TM0304, or NACE [...] Read more.
Anticorrosive coatings are widely used to protect steel against corrosion. Different standards exist to access the corrosion performance of anticorrosive paints. Among them, the so-called neutral salt spray test (NSST-ISO 9227) or cycling corrosion tests ISO 12944-6, ISO 12944-9, NACE TM0304, or NACE TM0404 can be named. It is well-known that some accelerated corrosion tests are not fully representative of the field exposure results. However, a lack in the literature exists correlating accelerated tests to field exposure, especially when long-term durations are considered. In this study, 11 different organic coatings have been investigated in terms of coating resistance to corrosion creep in two types of field exposure sites, namely a stationary site and an operating ship, and their performance was compared to two accelerated tests (ISO 12944-9 and modified ASTM D5894 standard). The results showed differences in the sites’ corrosivity and the coating systems’ performance as a function of the exposure sites. A lack of correlation exists between the ISO 12944-9 standard and the stationary site, due to the latter’s high corrosivity, while, to the contrary, a satisfying correlation with the operating ship was demonstrated; whereas, the modified ASTM D5894 standard showed a satisfying correlation with both types of sites.

In order to maximize the performance of the nickel-based cladding layer without adding a reinforcing phase, ultrasonic vibrations of different frequencies are assisted in the laser cladding process. The morphology of the cladding layer was analyzed by a metallographic microscope, the microstructure of the cladding layer was analyzed by SEM, the element segregation of the cladding layer was analyzed by EDS energy spectrum, and the microhardness of the cladding layer was tested by a microhardness tester. Hardness and friction-wear performance of the cladding layer were tested using a friction and wear tester. The test results show that the appropriate ultrasonic frequency can obviously refine the microstructure of the cladding layer, the hardness and wear resistance of the cladding layer have been significantly improved due to the refinement of the structure, and it has a good fine grain for the cladding layer. The strengthening effect maximizes the performance of the cladding layer. Full article

Modelling and simulation are very important for revealing the relationship between process parameters and internal variables like grain morphology in solidification, precipitate evolution, and solid-state phase transformation in laser additive manufacturing. The impact of the microstructural changes on mechanical behaviors is also a hot topic in laser additive manufacturing. Here we reviewed key developments in thermal modelling, microstructural simulations, and the predictions of mechanical properties in laser additive manufacturing. A volumetric heat source model, including the Gaussian and double ellipsoid heat sources, is introduced. The main methods used in the simulation of microstructures, including Monte Carlo method, cellular automaton, and phase field method, are mainly described. The impacts of the microstructures on mechanical properties are revealed by the physics-based models including a precipitate evolution based model and dislocation evolution based model and by the crystal plasticity model. The key issues in the modelling and simulation of laser additive manufacturing are addressed. Full article
