Based on the commercial aluminium alloy powder blend (Alumix 431D) metal matrix composites reinforced with particles of SiC as well as TiC were produced by conventional powder metallurgy technology and the effect of the type and amounts of reinforced particles on the selected properties and microstructure of sintered composites were investigated. In particular, the densification behaviour, the wear resistance and the corrosion resistance in 3.5% NaCl solution were identified. It was stated that both the type and the weight fraction of carbide used as particulate reinforcement have a great impact on the properties of aluminium alloy matrix composites. It was shown that the introduction of titanium carbide has a more favourable effect on the properties of sintered Alumix 431D matrix composites in comparison to silicon carbide and the optimum content of TiC in composite is 4 wt. % due to the highest hardness, wear resistance (wear rate of 2.865·10 ̄ ³ mm³/m) and simultaneously the best corrosion resistance (corrosion rate of 0.005 mm/year).

Properties of WC-Co coatings with Al2O3 addition on the C45 mild steel surface in acidic chloride solution were examined. The WC-Co-Al2O3 coatings on steel surfaces were deposited by an electro-spark (ESD) technique. The anti-corrosion properties of the coatings were mainly investigated by electrochemical methods. Moreover, the scanning electron microscope (SEM) was employed for the observation of the surface of materials. The structure of coatings depended on the composition of electrospark electrodes. In the WC80-Co5-Al2O315 coating, the largest corrosion resistance was shown. The corrosion rate of the specimen was approximately eight times smaller than the coating with out of Al2O3 addition. The aim of the research was to obtain, by adding alumina, an improvement in the functional properties of WC-Co coatings produced by the ESD method. Due to the original features of ESD coatings, they can be used in sliding friction pairs and as anti-wear coatings on cutting tools. C-Co coatings with AlO3 addition.

A method was developed to obtain a durable coating consisting of zinc and graphene oxide (Zn-GO) in order to reduce the mechanical wear and tear rate of oil and gas pipelines made of steel. Graphene oxide was obtained from graphite by wet chemical oxidation (unmodified and modified Hummers’ method) using potassium permanganate and sulfuric acid. The process was carried out at various temperatures. The steel was covered with an ultrathin layer of Zn-GO using the electrophoretic deposition method. The GO particle size (< 90 nm) was confirmed by XRD and laser analysis. For GO particles obtained by the modified Hummers’ method, a significant correlation was observed in the scratch (R2 = 0.87) and the Vickers microhardness tests (R2 = 0.93), which indicates a lower wear rate of Zn-GO-coated steel.

Opracowano metodę otrzymywania trwałej powłoki składającej się z cynku i tlenku grafenu (Zn-GO) w celu zmniejszenia zużycia mechanicznego rurociągów naftowo-gazowych wykonanych ze stali. Tlenek grafenu pozyskano z grafitu metodą mokrego utleniania chemicznego (niezmodyfikowana i zmodyfikowana metoda Hummersa) z użyciem nadmanganianu potasu i kwasu siarkowego. Proces prowadzono w różnej temperaturze. Stal powlekano ultra cienką warstwą Zn-GO techniką osadzania elektroforetycznego. Metodą XRD i analizą laserową potwierdzono wielkość cząstek GO (≤ 90 nm). Dla cząstek GO otrzymanych zmodyfikowaną metoda Hummersa zaobserwowano znaczącą korelację w teście zarysowania (R2 = 0.87) i mikrotwardości Vickersa (R2 = 0.93), co świadczy o mniejszym stopniu zużycia stali pokrytej powłoką Zn-GO.

The corrosion of steel reinforcement by chloride is commonly recognized as a key factor that contributes to the degradation of durability in reinforced concreae structures. Using supplementary cementitious materials, such as industrial and agricultural waste materials, usually enhances the impermeability of the concrete and its corrosion resistance, acid resistance, and sulfate resistance. This study’s primary purpose is to examine the effects of replacing ordinary Portland cement (OPC) with ultrafine palm oil fuel ash (U-POFA) on the corrosion resistant performance of high-strength green concrete (HSGC). There were four HSGC mixes tested; the first mix contained 100% OPC, while the other mixes replaced OPC mass with 20%, 40%, and 60% of U-POFA. The performance of all HSGC mixes containing U-POFA on workability, compressive strength, porosity, water absorption, impressed voltage test, and mass loss was investigated at 7, 28, 60, and 90 days. Adding U-POFA to mixes enhances their workability, compressive strength (CS), water absorption, and porosity in comparison with mixes that contain 100% OPC. The findings clearly portrayed that the utilization of U-POFA as a partial alternative for OPC significantly enhances the corrosion-resistant performance of the HSGC. In general, it is strongly advised that a high proportion of U-POFA be incorporated, totaling 60% of the OPC content. This recommendation is the result of its significance as an environmentally friendly and cost-effective green pozzolanic material. Hence, it could contribute to the superior durability performance of concrete structures, particularly in aggressive environmental exposures.

To improve the surface properties of Ti alloy, (Co34Fe8Cr29Ni8Si7)100–x Bx alloy, coatings were prepared by laser cladding. The coatings—mainly composed of TiCr, Fe0.1Ti0.18V0.72, CoTi, Ti2Ni, and TiB—and amorphous phases were investigated in terms of microstructure, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance. The results showed that the microhardness of the Co-based coatings first increased and then decreased with the increase of B content. When the B content was 6%, the microhardness of the coating increased up to 1210 HV0.2 which was 3.4 times that of TC4 alloy substrate. The coatings exhibited diverse wear mechanisms that gradually transitioned from severe fatigue spalling and oxidative wear to slightly abrasive wear. The corrosion current density of Co-based coatings in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution first increased and then decreased as B contents increased. Coatings with 4% B content, however, exhibited the best corrosion resistance, which was most suitable for improving the corrosion resistance of Ti alloy.

Al-Y-Fe amorphous and nanocrystalline alloys are characterized by a unique collection of diverse properties that are influenced by various factors, including heat treatment. In this paper, the effect of heat treatment on the structural changes and selected properties of Al-Y-Fe metallic glasses in the as-spun state is investigated. The structure of the Al88Y7Fe5 and Al88Y6Fe6 alloys was examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Mössbauer spectroscopy (MS). The corrosion resistance of the samples was characterized using polarization tests in a 3.5% NaCl solution at 25 °C. The effect of sodium chloride on the surface was studied with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The magnetic properties of Al-based alloys were explored using a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). It was revealed that the tested alloys show better properties after annealing than in the as-spun state. The annealing of the Al88Y7Fe5 and Al88Y6Fe6 alloys in the temperature range of 200 to 300 °C improved the magnetic properties and corrosion resistance of these materials. After 3,600 s, the better EOCP values were recorded for the Al88Y6Fe6 and Al88Y7Fe5 alloys after annealing at 300 °C and 200 °C, adequately. On the basis of the polarization tests, it was concluded that the electrochemical properties are better for Al88Y6Fe6 alloys after annealing at 300 °C.

Cermet coatings provide protection against aggressive operating environment of machine and device elements, such as corrosion, wear or high-temperature conditions. Currently WC-based cermet coatings are frequently used in the different industry branches. In this work, conventional WC-based powders (WC-Co and WC-Co-Cr) were sprayed with High Velocity Oxy Fuel (HVOF) onto AZ31 magnesium alloy with different spray distances (320 and 400 mm). The aim of the research was to investigate the effect of the spray distance on the microstructure of the coatings, phase composition and electrochemical corrosion resistance. Results revealed that higher spray distance results in greater porosity, 1.9% and 2.3% for 320 mm and 2.8% and 3.1% for 400 mm in case of WC-Co and WC-Co-Cr coatings, respectively. Also the influence has been observed for coatings microhardness, c.a. 1300 HV0.3 for shorter spray distance, whereas for longer one it was less than 1100 HV0.3. The corrosion resistance estimated in potentiodynamic polarization measurements was the best for WC-Co-Cr coating deposited from the shorter spray distance, corrosion current density was equal to 2.9 µA·cm-2 and polarization resistance was equal to 8424 Ω∙cm2.

This work investigated two titanium-based alloys with a constant tantalum content and variable contents of alloy additives - niobium and zirconium. The Ti-30Ta-10Zr-20Nb (wt.%) and Ti-30Ta-20Zr-10Nb (wt.%) alloys were obtained using a combination of powder metallurgy and arc melting methods. The influence of alloying additives on the structure and properties of the Ti-Ta-Nb-Zr system was studied using, among others: X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The X-ray diffraction confirmed the single-β-phase structure of both alloys. In addition, the microscopic analysis revealed that a higher amount of zirconium favoured the formation of larger grains. However, the microhardness analysis indicated that the alloy with the higher niobium content had the higher microhardness. Importantly, the in vitro corrosion study revealed that the addition of niobium promoted the better corrosion resistance of the investigated alloy.

The high porosity and strong water absorption of coral sand (CS) lead to the decline of the corrosion resistance of CS cement mortar. In this study, an environmentally friendly method of preparing hydrophobic concrete with water-repellent and anti-corrosion properties using CS is proposed. CS was modified by stearic acid to reduce the excessive water absorption caused by its high porosity. The prepared modified CS (M-CS) was used to partially replace the sand in the cement mortar to fabricate hydrophobic cement mortar, the water contact angle of which was found to be 115.9°. The cumulative water absorption, compressive strength, and anti-corrosion properties of hydrophobic cement mortar were explored. The cumulative water absorption of the hydrophobic mortar was found to be 49.75% lower than that of ordinary cement mortar. The compression test results show that a 10% content of M-CS can improve the compressive strength of cement mortar. Moreover, the corrosion resistance was found to be enhanced with the increase of the M-CS content. The hydrophobic cement mortar developed in this study is expected to strengthen the corrosion resistance of cement mortar used for coastal engineering.

Today, the use of magnesium alloys in medical applications as a decomposing material is extensive, so a new magnesium alloy Mg-2Al-1Nd was prepared by an investment-casting method in a medium protected from atmospheric oxygen. One of the rare elements, Nd, was added to improve the microstructural and mechanical properties and corrosion resistance in simulated blood plasma media. The XRF test determined the chemical characterization elements, the SEM test was used to identify the distribution of phases and their shape inside the base before and after heat treatment, and the XRD test was conducted to determine the type of phases that formed and the effect of these phases on other properties was studied. Also, hardness was measured using Vickers microhardness, in which the improvement rate was 75%, and a compression test to determine the mechanical properties of the prepared alloy found that the modulus of elasticity was 42GPa.To study its corrosive behavior inside the human body, a test was conducted on corrosion by the Tafel method to measure corrosion resistance in simulated blood plasma solution, Where the value of the corrosion rate of the alloy after the heat treatment became 0.089mm/y and Rp equal 4.13KΩ/cm2, These results made the new magnesium alloy a good candidate for use in temporary medical applications.

Stainless steels are widely used for various automotive components. Some of them (e.g., parts of the exhaust system) are exposed to the external environment. In winter conditions, they are affected by chloride containing road salt solutions, which can lead to the local corrosion of these stainless steel parts. The presented paper is focused on the pitting corrosion resistance of two austenitic stainless steels (AISI 304 and AISI 316L) in 5 wt% and 10 wt% road salt solutions. The evaluation and comparison are based on the potentiodynamic polarization test method carried out at the temperature of 20 ± 2°C. The pitting potentials were determined from the polarization curves. Local corrosion damage of exposed surfaces caused by potentiodynamic polarization in the used solutions was observed by optical microscope. Experimental results confirmed a worse pitting corrosion resistance case, especially for AISI 304 stainless steel in 10 wt% road salt solution.

5005A series aluminum samples were passivated to obtain a conversion coating based on Cr(III) compounds. It was shown that the corrosion resistance of galvanized aluminum in a bath containing both zirconium and cobalt compounds, measured in a 0.05 M NaCl solution, slightly increased compared to the corrosion resistance of aluminum as delivered, i.e. without conversion coating. In the case of galvanic treatment of aluminum in baths containing separately cobalt or zirconium compounds, a significant increase in corrosion resistance was achieved in relation to aluminum in the delivered condition. SEM analysis showed that in the presence of the simultaneous addition of zirconium and cobalt compounds, the most developed surface was created compared to the addition of only zirconium, where bright spheroidal precipitates occur locally. EDS analysis showed the presence of : C, O, Mg, Al and Si, small amounts of Cr, Zr, F on the surface of the aluminum covered with the Cr + Zr + HF conversion coating. During measurements with the use of the linear polarization resistance (LPR) technique, the best anti-corrosion properties were demonstrated by the samples that were passivated in a Cr(III) solution with the addition of Zr compound and HF and in a Cr(III) solution with the addition of Co compound and HF.

Wykazano, że odporność korozyjna aluminium poddanego obróbce galwanicznej w kąpieli zawierającej jednocześnie związki cyrkonu i kobaltu, mierzona w 0,05 M roztworze NaCl, nieznacznie wzrosła w stosunku do odporności korozyjnej aluminium w stanie dostarczenia, tzn. bez powłoki konwersyjnej. W przypadku obróbki galwanicznej aluminium w kąpielach, które zawierały osobno związki kobaltu lub cyrkonu, uzyskano wyraźny wzrost odporności korozyjnej w stosunku do aluminium w stanie dostarczenia. Analiza SEM wykazała, że w obecności jednocześnie dodatku cyrkonu i kobaltu powstała najbardziej rozwinięta powierzchnia. W przypadku zastosowania tylko dodatku cyrkonu jasne wytrącenia sferoidalne występują lokalnie. Analiza EDS wykazała obecność C, O, Mg, Al i Si, niewielkich ilości Cr, Zr, F na powierzchni aluminium pokrytego powłoką konwersyjną Cr + Zr + HF. Podczas pomiarów techniką liniowego oporu polaryzacji (LPR) najlepsze właściwości antykorozyjne wykazały próbki poddane pasywacji w roztworze Cr(III) z dodatkiem związków Zr i HF oraz w roztworze Cr(III) z dodatkiem związków Co i HF.

Badania strukturalne ujawniły występowanie w powłoce wydzieleń Pb, Bi oraz stopu BiSn.

The article presents the results of research on the influence of Al, Ni, Pb, Bi and Sn additives in a zinc bath on the microstructure and corrosion resistance of zinc coatings. The microstructure at high magnifications (SEM) was revealed on the surface and cross-section of the coatings, and the chemical composition in micro-regions was determined. The corrosion resistance of the coatings was tested comparatively in neutral salt spray (PN EN ISO 9227) and in a humid atmosphere containing sulfur compounds (PN EN ISO 6988). The electrochemical corrosion parameters of the coatings were determined. It was found that the coatings obtained in the baths containing Pb, Bi and BiSn additives showed lower corrosion resistance compared to the coatings obtained in the Zn-AlNi bath. The microstructural tests showed the occurrence of Pb, Bi and BiSn alloy precipitates in the coating. These precipitates have a more electropositive potential in relation to zinc, which favors the formation of additional corrosion cells.

Stopy magnezu ze względu na korzystny stosunek niskiej masy do dobrych własności mechanicznych coraz powszechniej są stosowane w przemyśle. Przeszkodę w ich aplikacji może stanowić reaktywność chemiczna magnezu, a więc jego wysoka podatność na korozję. Powłoki natryskiwane cieplnie metodą HVOF (high velocity oxy fuel) pozwalają wytworzyć szczelną barierę pomiędzy materiałem podłoża a środowiskiem, dzięki czemu mogą stanowić skuteczną ochronę stopów magnezu. W artykule przedstawiono wyniki badań mikrostruktury oraz wybranych własności dwóch powłok natryskiwanych przy wykorzystaniu komercyjnych proszków WC-Co i WC-Cr3C2-Ni metodą HVOF na podłożu ze stopu magnezu AZ91. Celem pracy było porównanie mikrostruktury, wybranych własności oraz odporności na korozję wytworzonych powłok. Na podstawie wyników badań mikroskopowych stwierdzono, że powłoki charakteryzują się zwartą mikrostrukturą, a twarde cząstki WC oraz Cr3C2 są równomiernie rozłożone w całej objętości powłoki. Powłoka WC-Co charakteryzuje się ponadto wyższą odpornością korozyjną oraz mikrotwardością, jednak cechuje ją mniejsza wydajność natryskiwania i chropowatość w porównaniu z powłoką WC-Cr3C2-Ni.

Due to the promising ratio of low weight to good mechanical properties, magnesium alloys are more and more widely used in industry. An obstacle in their application may be the chemical reactivity of magnesium, and therefore its high susceptibility to corrosion. Thermal sprayed coatings with the HVOF (high velocity oxy fuel) method allow creating a tight barrier between the base material and the environment, which can effectively protect magnesium alloys. The article presents the results of research on the microstructure and selected properties of two sprayed coatings with the use of commercial WC-Co and WC-Cr3C2-Ni powders using the HVOF method on the substrate made of AZ91 magnesium alloy. The work aimed to compare the microstructure, selected properties, and corrosion resistance of the produced coatings. Based on the results of the metallographic research, it was found that the coatings are characterized by a dense microstructure, and the hard particles of the WC and Cr3C2 are evenly distributed throughout the entire volume of the coating. Also the WC-Co coating is characterized by higher corrosion resistance and microhardness however, it has a lower spray efficiency and roughness compared to the WC-Cr3C2-Ni coating.

This work presents preliminary comparative studies on the process of electrochemical polishing of austenitic 304 steel in two deep eutectic solvents (DES), based on polyols as hydrogen bond donors. The first is the choline chloride and ethylene glycol solvent, known before in the literature, and the second is the rarely discussed choline chloride and propylene glycol solvent. The analyzes showed that in the latter liquid it is possible to achieve similar results as in the first solvent, but without obtaining a full-fledged effect of electrochemical polishing. The process of anodic polarization in each range of current density for each liquid led to an increase in surface roughness and a simultaneous smoothing of the steel microstructure in the case of tested high current densities. For samples subjected to anodic polarization at medium and high current densities, a slight increase in corrosion resistance was observed compared to the chemically etched steel sample.

Pierwszym z rozpuszczalników był znany w literaturze przedmiotu układ złożony z chlorku choliny i glikolu etylenowego, a drugim – rzadko omawiany układ złożony z chlorku choliny i glikolu propylenowego. Wykazano, że w wypadku ostatniej cieczy można osiągnąć podobne wyniki co w tej na bazie glikolu etylenowego, nie uzyskując jednak wyraźnego efektu polerowania elektrochemicznego. Proces polaryzacji anodowej w każdym zakresie gęstości prądu dla każdej cieczy doprowadził do zwiększenia się chropowatości powierzchni przy jednoczesnym wygładzeniu mikrostruktury stali w wypadku ustalonych wysokich gęstości prądu. Stwierdzono drobny wzrost odporności na korozję próbek poddanych polaryzacji anodowej przy średnich i wysokich gęstościach prądu w porównaniu z próbką stalową trawioną chemicznie.

The 316L stainless steel samples were subjected to anodic polarization in a eutectic solvent and then theSiO2 coatings were deposited on them using the sol-gel method. The coatings were prepared from a sol containing TEOS as a precursor and ethanol as a solvent. The obtained samples were exposed in Ringer’s solution. Studies have shown that electrochemical treatment of 316L steel affects both the morphology, topography and roughness of the metallic material. Potentiodynamic tests showed that the best barrier properties after exposure to Ringer’s solution were obtained for 316L steel subjected to electrochemical treatment, additionally covered with a SiO2 coating. The deposition of the three-layer SiO2 coatings reduces the corrosion current density and an increase in the polarization resistance relative to the uncoated 316L steel.

Próbki ze stali nierdzewnej 316L poddano polaryzacji anodowej w rozpuszczalniku eutektycznym, a następnie metodą zol-żel osadzono na nich powłoki SiO2. Powłoki otrzymywano z zolu zawierającego TEOS jako prekursor i etanol jako rozpuszczalnik. Otrzymane próbki eksponowano w roztworze Ringera. Badania dowiodły, że elektrochemiczna obróbka stali 316L wpływa zarówno na morfologię oraz topografię, jak i chropowatość materiału metalicznego. Potencjodynamiczne badania wykazały, że najlepsze właściwości barierowe po ekspozycji w roztworze Ringera uzyskano dla stali 316L poddanej obróbce elektrochemicznej i dodatkowo pokrytej powłoką SiO2. Osadzenie trójwarstwowych powłok SiO2 powoduje zmniejszenie gęstości prądu korozji oraz wzrost oporu polaryzacji względem niepokrytej stali 316L.

Iron aluminides are iron-aluminum alloys that have excellent resistance to oxidation at high temperatures with low density, high resistance/weight ratio and a low manufacturing cost. Due to its characteristics, these alloys are presented as an option to replace stainless steels in certain applications. This works intends report the casting process and subsequent analyses involving microstructure, mechanical properties, and corrosion resistance of two Fe-Al-C alloys (Fe-11wt%Al and Fe-25wt%Al, containing 0.31-0.37%C), which were prepared in an induction furnace and poured in a permanent mold. Samples of these alloys were characterized and presented elevated hardness values of 37 HRC (alloy Fe-11wt%Al) and 49.6HRC (alloy Fe-25wt%Al) and microstructure with aluminides type Fe3Al and FeAl and also carbides type K. The Fe-11wt%Al alloy exhibited superior resistance to uniform corrosion, although both Fe-Al-C alloys exhibited significantly higher corrosion rates compared to a binary iron aluminide in 0.5M H2SO4 containing naturally dissolved oxygen.
