Effect of Cooling Rate at the Eutectoid Transformation Temperature on the Corrosion Resistance of Zn-4Al Alloy.

ABSTRACT: The main purpose of this work was to experimentally determine the effect of the cooling rate during the eutectoid transformation on the corrosion resistance of a hypoeutectic Zn-4Al cast alloy in 5% NaCl solution. This was considered in relation to the alloy microstructure. For this purpose, metallographic and electrochemical studies were performed. It was found that the faster cooling promoted the formation of finer (? + ?) eutectoid structures, which translated into a higher hardness and lower corrosion current density. In the initial stage of corrosion processes the eutectoid structure in the eutectic areas were attacked. At the further stages of corrosion development, the phase ? was dissolved, and the ? phase appears to be protected by the formation of corrosion products.

Effect of Heat Treatments on the Corrosion Resistance of a High Strength Mg-Gd-Y-Zn-Zr Alloy.

Project description:Magnesium-rare earth (Mg-Re) alloys are very promising structural materials in lightweight industries, while the poor corrosion resistance limits their widespread application. In this work, to provide insights into the functions of precipitate characteristics on the corrosion behaviors of Mg-Re alloys, the influence of heat treatments on the corrosion behavior of Mg-11.46Gd-4.08Y-2.09Zn-0.56Zr alloy was investigated via an immersion test, electrochemical experiment and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results showed that the corrosion rate of Mg-11.46Gd-4.08Y-2.09Zn-0.56Zr alloy specimens decreased by 17.58% and 20.44% after T5 and T6 heat treatment, respectively. In the heat-treated specimens, the corrosion did not extend further into the matrix but formed fine corrosion grooves along the extrusion direction. The improved homogeneity reduced the residual stress and the β' precipitate introduced as a corrosion barrier after T5 and T6 heat treatment reduced the corrosion rate of the studied Mg alloy. In addition, the volume fraction of the long-period stacking-ordered (LPSO) phase decreased after heat treatment, which effectively reduced galvanic corrosion and enhanced the protective effect on the Mg matrix.

Effect of Hydroxyapatite on the Mechanical Properties and Corrosion Behavior of Mg-Zn-Y Alloy.

Project description:Mg-Zn-Y alloys with a long period stacking ordered (LPSO) phase are potential candidates for biodegradable implants; however, an unfavorable degradation rate has limited their applications. Hydroxyapatite (HA) has been shown to enhance the corrosion resistance of Mg alloys. In this study, Mg97Zn?Y?-0.5 wt% HA composite was synthesized and solution treated at 500 °C for 10 h. The corrosion behavior of the composite was studied by electrochemical and immersion tests, while the mechanical properties were investigated by a tensile test. Addition of HA particles improves the corrosion resistance of Mg97Zn?Y? alloy without sacrificing tensile strength. The improved corrosion resistance is due to the formation of a compact Ca-P surface layer and a decrease of the volume fraction of the LPSO phase, both resulting from the addition of HA. After solution-treatment, the corrosion resistance of the composite decreases. This is due to the formation of a more extended LPSO phase, which weakens its role as a corrosion barrier in protecting the Mg matrix.

Effect of Microstructure on the Corrosion Resistance of TIG Welded 1579 Alloy.

Project description:The paper studies microstructure, chemical composition and corrosion activity of the tungsten inert gas welded joint of the Al-Mg-Sc alloy. An intensive corrosion attack of the heat affected zone (HAZ) was found due to precipitation of secondary phases at recrystallized grain boundaries. The ccorrosion process initiated along the boundary of α-Al grains, where a high concentration of anodic (Mg2Si and Mg2Al3) and cathodic phases ((MnFe)Al6) was observed. Increased temperatures during welding led to coalescence of the anodic phases in HAZ. Additionally, HAZ was found to be enriched with hard intermetallic compounds (Mg2Si and (MnFe)Al6). This area had a higher microhardness (930 MPa) compared to base metal (BM, 895 MPa) and fusion zone (FZ, 810 MPa). The volume fraction of secondary phases was 26% in BM, 28% in FZ and 38% in HAZ. The average grain size increased in the following order: (9 ± 3) µm (BM) < (16 ± 3) µm (HAZ) < (21 ± 5) µm (FZ). A plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) coating of aluminum-based material was applied to protect the weld from oxidation. The PEO-coating provided a high corrosion protection in the aggressive Cl--containing environment.

Preparation and Corrosion Resistance of Microarc Oxidation-Coated Biomedical Mg-Zn-Ca Alloy in the Silicon-Phosphorus-Mixed Electrolyte.

Project description:Microarc oxidation (MAO) coating was prepared on the surface of the biomedical Mg-3Zn-0.2Ca alloy in a phosphate electrolyte with varying concentrations of Na2SiO3. The morphology, cross section, chemical composition, and corrosion resistance of the coatings were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), electrochemical polarization tests (EI), and in vitro immersion experiments. The addition of Na2SiO3 is performed to increase the thickness and compactness of the coating. When the Si/P atomic ratio is approximately equal to 1 (1.5 g/L Na2SiO3), the best corrosion resistance is achieved, while excessive addition may lead to coating defects such as voids and microcracks, resulting in decreased corrosion resistance. The competitive relationship between PO4 3- and SiO3 2- anions in the silicon-phosphorus microarc oxidation-mixed electrolyte is discussed. In this study, it was first proposed that, when Mg2SiO4 and Mg3 (PO4)2 phase contents were approximately the same, the synergistic improvement effect on coating corrosion resistance was the most effective.

Graphene-Reinforced Zn-Ni Alloy Composite Coating on Iron Substrates by Pulsed Reverse Electrodeposition and Its High Corrosion Resistance.

Project description:In this paper, a novel kind of graphene (Gr)-reinforced Zn-Ni alloy composite coating is successfully prepared on an iron substrate by pulsed reverse electrodeposition. Hydrophilic graphene oxide (GO) is directly added to the electrolyte and reduced to Gr during coating. The experimental results reveal that (1) there is an optimal adding amount (about 0.4 g/L) of GO in the electrolyte for achieving the highest mechanical properties and corrosion resistance; (2) the composite coating shows grain refinement and a dense microstructure due to heterogeneous nucleation sites provided from the Gr sheets during electrodeposition; and (3) compared to the regular Zn-Ni coating, the composite coating exhibits many enhancements, including hardness increase by 2.3 times, elastic modulus increase by 39%, and corrosion rate decrease from 37.66 to 1.30 mils/annum. This process has advantages such as being simple, effective, well repeatable, economical, and supporting large-scale production and is expected to be widely applied in electronics, automobiles, marine engineering, and military industries.

Effect of Grain Structure and Quenching Rate on the Susceptibility to Exfoliation Corrosion in 7085 Alloy.

Project description:The influence of grain structure and quenching rates on the exfoliation corrosion (EXCO) susceptibility of 7085 alloy was studied using immersion tests, optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), and scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM). The results show that as the cooling rate decreases from 1048 °C/min to 129 °C/min; the size of grain boundary precipitates (GBPs); the width of precipitate-free zones (PFZ); and the content of Zn, Mg, and Cu in GBPs rise, leading to an increase in EXCO depth and consequently higher EXCO susceptibility. Meanwhile, there is a linear relationship between the average corrosion depth and the logarithm of the cooling rate. Corrosion cracks initiate at the grain boundaries (GBs) and primarily propagate along the HAGBs. In the bar grain (BG) sample at lower cooling rates, crack propagation along the sub-grain boundaries (SGBs) was observed. Compared to equiaxed grain (EG) samples, the elongated grain samples exhibit larger GBPs, a wider PFZ, and minor compositional differences in the GBPs, resulting in higher EXCO susceptibility.

Corrosion Resistance of Heat-Treated Ni-W Alloy Coatings.

Project description:The paper presents research on evaluation of corrosion resistance of Ni-W alloy coatings subjected to heat treatment. The corrosion resistance was tested in 5% NaCl solution by the use of potentiodynamic polarization technique and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Characteristics of the Ni-W coatings after heat treatment were carried out using scanning electron microscopy, scanning Kelvin probe technique and X-ray diffraction. Suggested reasons for the improvement of properties of the heat treated Ni-W coating, obtained at the lowest current density value (125 mA?cm-2), are the highest tungsten content (c.a. 25 at.%) as well as the smallest and the most homogeneous electrochemically active surface area.

Corrosion Resistance and Biocompatibility Assessment of a Biodegradable Hydrothermal-Coated Mg-Zn-Ca Alloy: An in Vitro and in Vivo Study.

Project description:A hydrothermal (HT) coating was applied to the biomedical Mg-Zn-Ca alloy surface by microarc oxidation (MAO) and heat treatment. Then, the corrosion resistance and biocompatibility of the coated alloy was evaluated in vitro and in vivo. The corrosion rate (CR) of HT-coated implants was significantly lower in experiment. In addition, this CR increased over time in vivo but was stable, albeit higher, in vitro. The proliferation, adhesion, and live activity of bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) were significantly greater on the surface of the HT-coated Mg alloy in vitro. Serum Mg2+ was always within the normal range in rabbits with implants, although Ca2+ was higher than normal for both uncoated and coated scaffolds. There were no significant pathological effects on the main organs of alloy-implanted rabbits compared with healthy animals. Thus, the HT coating significantly improved the corrosion resistance and biocompatibility of the Mg-Zn-Ca alloy.

Effect of Cooling Rate on Morphology of TiAl3 Particles in Al-4Ti Master Alloy.

Project description:The Al-4Ti master alloy was fabricated by aluminum (Al) and sponge titanium particle in a resistance furnace at different cooling rates. This work aims to investigate the relationship between the cooling rate and morphology of TiAl3. The microstructure and composition of master alloys at different cooling rates were characterized and analyzed by optical microscopy (OM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and SEM with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The results showed that various morphologies of TiAl3 particles in the Al-4Ti master alloy could be acquired at different cooling rates. Petal-like, blocky, and flake-like TiAl3 particles in the Al-4Ti master alloy were respectively acquired at the cooling rates of 3.36 K/s, 2.57 K/s, and 0.31 K/s. It was also found that the morphology of TiAl3 particles in the prepared master alloy changed from petal-like to blocky, then finally to flake-like, with the decrease of cooling rate. In addition, the morphology of the TiAl3 particles has no effect on the phase inversion temperature of Al-4Ti master alloy.

Effect of Ag alloying and trace precipitation on corrosion resistance of Ti-Ta-Ag ternary alloy.

Project description:This work systematically analysed the electrochemical and corrosion behaviour of Ti-Ta-Ag ternary alloy samples in Hank's solution. For the samples with 1.5% and 3% Ag content, the sintering temperature increased from 750 to 950°C, and the corresponding corrosion resistance increased by 100 times due to the increased alloying of Ag; meanwhile for the sample with 4.5% Ag content, the sintering temperature increased from 750 to 950°C, and the corresponding corrosion resistance decreased by six times due to the increased precipitation of Ag. These tests prove that the Ag alloying is beneficial to the enhancement of the corrosion resistance of Ti-Ta-Ag ternary alloy, but the Ag trace precipitation has the opposite effect. A series of electrochemical characterizations and density functional theory calculations explain the mechanism of the above phenomenon. Ag alloying can promote the formation of uniform, complete, dense, stable and thick passivation layer on the surface of Ti-Ta-Ag ternary alloy, which makes Ti-Ta-Ag ternary alloy uniformly corroded without pitting. In addition, Ag alloying can effectively reduce the contact resistance of the solid-liquid interface. However, the trace precipitation of Ag plays the opposite role to the above effect.
