The effect of heat treatment on corrosion behaviour of Ni–P–3 gr/lit Cu nano-composite coating

In this investigation, the effect of heat treatment on corrosion behaviour of Ni–P–Cu nano-composite coating was studied. Initially, an Ni–P–(3?g?l^?1) Cu nano-composite coating was produced under the bath condition of pH?=?4.5–5, RPM?=?400. The coatings were then heat treated at 400°C for 1?h. Scanning electron microscope (SEM), electron dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques were employed to analyse the coating characteristics. As well, corrosion resistance of the coatings in a solution of 1?M HCl was explored by potentiodynamic polarisation and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Results show that heat treatment for 1?h at 400°C crystallised the Ni–P–Cu coating and changed the amorphous morphology of the coating. This crystallisation also decreased corrosion resistance mainly due to P content reduction of the nano-composite coating. Finally, heat treatment reduced the P content of the coating as it formed different phases such as Cu₃P, Ni₈P₃, Ni₅P₂ and CuP₂.

本文利用超音速火焰喷涂技术(HVOF),在20G钢表面制备了掺杂1wt.%、3wt.%、5wt.%三种不同含量Y2O3的NiCr-Cr3C2金属陶瓷复合涂层,并探究了其在650℃,Na2SO4/K2SO4熔盐环境中的热腐蚀性能。利用扫描电镜(SEM)、显微硬度计、拉伸试验机等对涂层的微观结构和力学性能进行了表征,利用X射线衍射仪(XRD)、拉曼光谱、X射线能谱仪(EDS)对复合涂层热腐蚀产物形貌、物相进行分析。结果表明掺杂1wt.%Y2O3的NiCr-Cr3C2复合涂层结构致密、孔隙率低、结合强度高,显微硬度达到801HV。热腐蚀过程中掺杂Y2O3的NiCr-Cr3C2复合涂层表面均生成耐蚀性良好且致密的Cr2O3膜。随着Y2O3掺杂量的增加,涂层的耐热腐蚀性能先升高后下降,当Y2O3掺杂量为1wt.%时,复合涂层表现出最佳的耐热腐蚀性能。     

Corrosion Resistance of Sintered NdFeB Permanent Magnet With Ni-P/Tio22 Composite Film

The Ni-P/TiO₂ composite film on sintered NdFeB permanent magnet was investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM), and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDX). The corrosion resistance of Ni-P/TiO₂ film coated on NdFeB magnet, in 0.5 mol/L NaCl solution, was studied by potentiodynamic polarization, salt spray test and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques. The self-corrosion current density (i_corr) and the polarization resistance (R_p) of Ni-P/TiO₂ film are 0. 22 μA/cm² (about 14% of that of Ni-P coating), and 120 kΩ • cm² (about 2 times of that of Ni-P coating), respectively. The anti-salt spray time of Ni-P/TiO₂ film is about 2.5 times of that of the Ni-P coating. The results indicate that Ni-P/Ti0₂ film has a better corrosion resistance than Ni-P coating, and the composite film increases the corrosion resistance of NdFeB magnet markedly.     

Development of CeO2 nanorods reinforced electrodeposited nickel nanocomposite coating and its tribological and corrosion resistance properties

A simple electrodeposition technique was used to prepare Ni-CeO_2 nanorods composite coating(Ni-CeO_2 NRs) using Watt's nickel plating bath containing CeO_2 nanorods(NRs) as the reinforcement phase under optimized process conditions. The X-ray diffraction analysis(XRD) was used for the structural analysis of Ni-CeO_2 NRs composite coatings and their average crystalline size is ～22 nm for pure Ni and ～18 nm,respectively. The crystalline structure is fcc for the Ni-CeO_2 nanocomposite coatings. The surface morphology of the electrodeposited Ni-CeO_2 NRs composite coatings was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy(SEM). Microhardness of pure Ni and Ni-CeO_2 NRs composite coatings are found to be 253 HV and 824 HV, respectively. The inclusion of CeO_2 NRs increases the microhardness of Ni-CeO_2 NRs composite coatings. The corrosion resistance behavior of Ni-CeO_2 NRs composite coating was evaluated by Tafel polarization and AC impedance methods. It is revealed that CeO_2 NRs reinforced Ni matrix shows higher microhardness and corrosion resistance than existing reported electrodeposited pure Ni and CeO_2 nanoparticles reinforced Ni coatings.     

Investigation of Tribological Behavior of Ceramic–Graphene Composite Coating Produced by Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation

Plasma electrolyte oxidation coatings were formed on AZ31 magnesium alloy in the phosphate electrolyte containing 0 and 5 g L^?1 graphenes at different process times. The composition and microstructure of the coatings were analyzed by scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The SEM images showed that by increasing the coating time, the number of coating pores decreased whereas the diameter of coating pores increased. Furthermore, the diameter and number of pores related to ceramic–graphene composite coatings were lower than ceramic ones. XRD analysis indicated that major constituents of coatings were MgO and Mg₃(PO₄)₂. The pin-on-disk sliding tests revealed that the wear loss and coefficient of friction of ceramic–graphene composite coatings were lower than simple ones.     

Effects of Laser Remelting on Salt Spray Corrosion Behaviors of Arc-Sprayed Al Coatings in 3.5% NaCl Sea Environment

An arc-sprayed Al coating on S355 steel was remelted using an optical fiber laser. The surface–interface morphologies, chemical elements, distribution, and phases of the obtained Al coating were analyzed using a field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), and X-ray diffractometer (XRD), respectively. The corrosion morphologies and chemical element distributions of the arc-sprayed Al coating before and after laser remelting (LR) were analyzed using a SEM, and its configured EDS, respectively, and the effects of LR on the salt spray corrosion performance of Al coating were also analyzed. The results show that the porosities and cracks on the arc-sprayed Al coatings are eliminated after LR, which improve the bonding strength between the Al coating and the substrate. The arc-sprayed Al coating is composed of Al phase, while that after LR is composed Al–Fe and AlO₄FeO₆ phases. The corrosion mechanism of arc-sprayed Al coating is crevice corrosion, while that after LR is pitting corrosion.     

Formation of Hydroxyapatite Coating on Anodic Titanium Dioxide Nanotubes via an Efficient Dipping Treatment

Hydroxyapatite (HA) depositions on metallic biomedical implants have been widely applied to generate bioactive surfaces in simulated biological environments. Meanwhile, highly ordered TiO₂ nanotubes obtained via anodization have attracted increasing interest for biomedical applications. However, the capability to grow HA coating on TiO₂ nanotubes at room temperature remains problematic. In this study, we applied a dipping treatment for biomimetic formation of an adhesive HA coating on titanium dioxide nanotubes. The coatings formed using this procedure did not require high-temperature annealing or high supersaturation of the simulated biological condition. The as-formed TiO₂ nanotubes on titanium were treated using several dip-and-dry steps, through which the TiO₂ nanotubes were filled and covered with calcium phosphate nucleation sites. The specimens readily grew HA once immersed in the original simulated biological fluid (SBF) after little more than 12 hours. The carbonated HA coating was formed with 10-??m thickness after 4 days of immersion, while only a few calcium phosphate particles were observed on annealing TiO₂ nanotubes immersed in the same solution for the same duration. Tensile testing showed that the bonding strength between HA coating and substrate was 27.2 ± 1.6 MPa. This treatment dramatically improved efficiency for promoting HA formation on anodic TiO₂ nanotubes at room temperature.

High-Temperature Behavior of a High-Velocity Oxy-Fuel Sprayed Cr3C2-NiCr Coating

High-velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) sprayed coatings have the potential to enhance the high-temperature oxidation, corrosion, and erosion-corrosion resistance of boiler steels. In the current work, 75?pct chromium carbide-25?pct (nickel-20?pct chromium) [Cr₃C₂-NiCr] coating was deposited on ASTM SA213-T22 boiler steel using the HVOF thermal spray process. High-temperature oxidation, hot corrosion, and erosion-corrosion behavior of the coated and bare steel was evaluated in the air, molten salt [Na₂SO₄-82?pct Fe₂(SO₄)₃], and actual boiler environments under cyclic conditions. Weight-change measurements were taken at the end of each cycle. Efforts were made to formulate the kinetics of the oxidation, corrosion, and erosion-corrosion. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM)/energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) techniques were used to analyze the oxidation products. The coating was found to be intact and spallation free in all the environments of the study in general, whereas the bare steel suffered extensive spallation and a relatively higher rate of degradation. The coating was found to be useful to enhance the high-temperature resistance of the steel in all the three environments in this study.     

Oxide Scales Formed on NiTi and NiPtTi Shape Memory Alloys

Ni-49Ti and Ni-30Pt-50Ti (nominal at. pct) shape memory alloys (SMAs) were isothermally oxidized in air over the temperature range of 773?K to 1173?K (500?°C to 900?°C) for 100?hours. The oxidation kinetics, presented in detail in a companion study, show ~4 times reduction in oxidation rate due to Pt.[1] The microstructure, composition, and phase content of the scales and depletion zones were determined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). A relatively pure TiO₂ rutile structure was identified as the predominant scale surface feature, typified by a distinct highly striated and faceted crystal morphology, with crystal size proportional to oxidation temperature. The complex layered structure beneath these crystals was characterized by semiquantitative XRD of serial/taper polished sections and SEM/EDS of cross sections for samples oxidized at 973?K (700?°C). In general, graded mixtures of TiO₂, NiTiO₃, NiO, Ni(Ti), or Pt(Ni) metallic dispersoids, and continuous Ni₃Ti or Pt-rich metal depletion zones, were observed from the gas surface to the substrate interior. Overall, substantial depletion of Ti occurred due to the formation of predominantly TiO₂ scales. It is proposed that the Ni-30Pt-50Ti alloy oxidized more slowly than the binary Ni-49Ti alloy by decreasing oxygen and titanium diffusion through the thin Pt-rich layer.     

Preparation and Characterization of Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation Coating on 5005 Aluminum Alloy with Red Mud as an Electrolyte Additive

A coating with red mud as an electrolyte additive was applied to 5005 aluminum alloy using plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO). The phase composition of the coating was investigated using X-ray diffraction. Scanning electron microscopy–energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM–EDS) was used to determine the microstructure and composition profiles of the coating. The coating/substrate adhesion was determined by scratch testing. The corrosion behaviors of the substrate and coating were evaluated using potentiodynamic polarization (PDP) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results indicated that the PEO coating with red mud consisted mainly of α-Al₂O₃ and γ-Al₂O₃, with small amounts of Fe₂O₃, CaCO₃, and CaTiO₃. The surface of the coating was the color of the red mud. The coating had a uniform thickness of about 80 μm and consisted of two main layers: a 6-μm porous outer layer and a 74-μm dense inner layer, which showed typical metallurgical adhesion (coating/substrate adhesion strength of 59 N). The coating hardness was about 1142 HV, much higher than that of the substrate (60 HV). The corrosion potential E _corr and corrosion current density i _corr of the coating were estimated to be ?0.743 V and 3.85 × 10^?6 A cm^?2 from the PDP curve in 3.5 wt pct NaCl solution, and the maximum impedance and phase angle of the coating were 11 000 Ω and ?67 deg, respectively, based on EIS. PEO coating with red mud improved the surface properties and corrosion resistance of 5005 aluminum alloy. This study also shows a potential method for reusing red mud.     

Development of Silica Glass Coatings on 316L SS and Evaluation of its Corrosion Resistance Behavior in Ringer’s Solution

Sol-gel derived silica glasses have many promising features, including low-temperature preparation as well as chemical and physical stability. Two silica glasses with Si₁₀₀ and Si₈₀ composition were prepared to understand the factors contributing to the rate of bioactivity. The effects of pH, solution aging temperature, and molar ratio of H₂O/tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) were studied, and the obtained powder sample was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction studies, and scanning electron microscopy. The synthesized silica glasses were deposited on 316L SS by the spin coating method at the optimized speed of 2000?revolutions per minute. The corrosion resistance behavior of the coatings was determined by (1) open-circuit potential vs time of exposure, (2) electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and (3) cyclic polarization in Ringer??s solution. A higher breakdown potential (E _b) and repassivation potential (E _p) value with lower current density was obtained from cyclic polarization. Similar results were observed from impedance analysis with higher charge transfer resistance (R _ct) and lower double layer capacitance (C _dl) indicating the corrosion resistance behavior of the coatings compared with the uncoated 316L stainless steel. From the results, it was observed that both Si₁₀₀ and Si₈₀ glass coatings had a positive effect on the corrosion resistance behavior. An adhesive strength of 46?MPa and 45?MPa was obtained for the Si₁₀₀ and Si₈₀ coatings, respectively. An accelerated leach out study was carried out by impressing the potential at their breakdown potential to determine the effect of glass coating for long-term contact between the implant and a normal biological medium.

It was found that the corrosion resistance of galvalume coating could be improved by adding proper amounts of La. Meanwhile, the mechanism of the improvement of corrosion resistance by La addition was discussed.

Corrosion behavior of rare earth cerium based conversion coating on aluminum alloy

The present paper focused on the use of the salt of rare earth cerium as corrosion inhibitor of aluminum by using cathodic electrolytic passivation method. The corrosion resistance and the microphology of the cerium passivation film were studied by the methods of electrochemical method, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy dispersive spectroscopic analysis. From the results, it was shown that good corrosion resistance of cerium-based passive coating was obtained when the compositions were as follows: CeCl₃·7H₂O, 0.05 mol/L; H₂O₂, 30 ml/L; current density, 1.1 mA/cm²; temperature, 40 °C; time, 9 min. SEM and EDS revealed that the cerium conversion coatings formed on the surface of aluminum alloy were related to cerium hydroxide/hydrated oxide depositions.     

Improving the Corrosion Resistance of the Nickel–Tungsten Alloy by Optimization of the Electroplating Conditions

Nickel–tungsten (Ni–W) alloy coating was electrodeposited on the copper substrate by direct current voltammetry. The optimization of a free-ammonium bath for electrodeposition of Ni–W alloy coating was investigated. Experiments were focused on elucidating the effect of W concentration and operating conditions on the corrosion performance of the obtained Ni–W alloy coating. The corrosion behavior of the coatings was investigated by potentiodynamic polarization (Tafel) test. Experimental data such as corrosion current density, corrosion rate and polarization resistance indicated that the operating conditions used during the electroplating had significant effects on the corrosion parameters of the Ni–W alloy coating. The results showed that the highest corrosion resistance was obtained for the coating with 56.7 wt% tungsten (Ni/W ratio of 1:2.5) which was prepared at the current density of 3.8 A dm^?2. The increase in the corrosion resistance at the optimum current density was attributed to the lower interferences of the hydrogen evolution reaction. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) techniques were used to characterize the electrodeposited Ni–W alloy with the best anti-corrosion parameters.
