采用电化学、微生物学和表面分析的方法，研究了厌氧环境硫酸盐还原菌（subtere ducing bacteria，SRB）溶液中Al-6Mg-Zr添加Sc元素前后的腐蚀行为。结果表明，添加Sc元素后，合金的氧化膜更加致密，具有更好的保护作用，使电极开路电位正移100mV左右，同时Sc元素的加入降低了材料在SRB菌液中的点蚀敏感性，使材料耐微生物腐蚀性能得到提高，但是添加Sc后的合金对SRB更加敏感。显微观察表明添加Sc前后两种铝镁合金的腐蚀特征均为点蚀，能谱分析表明随浸泡时间增加，腐蚀越来越严重，腐蚀产物堆积和阳极金属溶解造成进一步腐蚀。     

Pitting of Al and Al–Si alloys in KSCN solutions and the effect of light

The pitting corrosion susceptibility of pure Al and three Al-Si alloys, namely (Al-6%Si), (Al-12%Si) and (Al-18%Si) has been studied in 0.04 M KSCN solution. Measurements were carried out under the effect of various experimental conditions using cyclic polarization, potentiostatic and galvanostatic techniques. In all cases, the potentiodynamic anodic polarization curves do not exhibit active dissolution region due to spontaneous passivation. The passivity is due to the presence of a thin film of Al₂O₃ on the anode surface. The passive region is followed by pitting corrosion, at a certain critical potential, pitting potential (E_pit), as a result of breakdown of the passive film by SCN^? anions. Cyclic polarization measurements allowed the determination of the pitting corrosion parameters, namely the pitting potential and the repassivation potential (E_rp). Alloyed Si decreased the passive current (j_pass) and shifted both E_pit and E_rp towards more positive values. Thus alloyed Si suppressed pitting attack. The effect of illumination on passivity and the initiation of pitting corrosion on Al in KSCN solutions was also studied. It is observed that illumination of Al leads to an increase in its pitting corrosion resistance-apparent from j_pass, E_pit, and E_rp measurements in aggressive KSCN solutions.

7075铝合金在电解液薄层下的电位波动

在3.5%NaCl电解液膜下,7075铝合金自腐蚀电位随浸泡时间的波动呈如下变化:浸泡初期,自腐蚀电位E波动的幅度极小,继续浸泡至4h后E急剧增大到20mV,而浸泡6h后的波动幅度与腐蚀初期相近,但出现了正向尖峰,至12h后的波动幅度又与4h的相当.实验发现自腐蚀电位的均方差随腐蚀时间呈先负移而后正移的趋势,4h时出现极小值.而电位功率谱密度线性部分的斜率(k),则在4h时呈现较小值,6h时出现最大值.由此推断7075铝合金在薄电解液膜下浸泡6h后其表面产生了稳定的蚀点.     

Photocatalytic,phosphorus-doped,anatase oxide layers applicable to titanium implant alloys

Titanium alloys provide excellent corrosion resistance and favorable mechanical properties well suited for a variety of biomaterial applications. The native oxide surface on titanium alloys has been shown to be less than ideal and surface modification is often needed. Previously, an optimized anodization process was shown to form a porous phosphorus-enhanced anatase oxide layer on commercially pure Ti grade 4. The anodized layer was shown to improve osseointegration and to reduce bacteria attachment when photocatalytically activated with UVA preillumination. The primary objective of the present study was to create a similar phosphorus-enhanced anatase oxide layer on series of titanium alloys including commercially pure Ti grade 4, Ti-6Al-7Nb, Ti-6Al-4V ELI, alpha + beta Ti-15Mo, beta Ti-15Mo, and Ti-35Nb-7Zr-5Ta. Phosphorus-enhanced anatase oxide layers were formed on each titanium substrate. Anatase formation was shown to generally increase with oxide thickness, except on substrate alloys containing niobium. Phosphorus uptake was shown to be dependent on the titanium alloy chemistry or microstructure. Anodized layers formed on beta-structured titanium alloys revealed the lowest phosphorus uptake and the most nanosized surface porosity. A methylene blue degradation assay showed anodized layers on commercially pure Ti and both Ti-15Mo alloys to exhibit the highest levels of photocatalytic activity. Given the range of mechanical properties available with the commercially pure Ti and Ti-15Mo alloys, the results of this study indicate the benefits of phosphorus-enhanced anatase oxide coatings may be applicable to a wide variety of biomaterial applications.

Ce转化膜作为一种Cr转化膜的理想替代品而日益受到人们的重视，但其成膜机理还不很清楚.本文应用自行研制的扫描微参比电极技术（SMRE），原位测量经CeCl3溶液处理的2024-T3 Al合金表面微区电位分布，并结合X光电子能谱（XPS）和交流阻抗谱（EIS），对Ce转化膜的成膜机理进行探讨.结果表明，在CeCl3溶液中，Ce转化膜的形成过程是 Ce3＋和Cl－相互竞争的动态过程.当由Cl－的不均匀吸附引起的局部腐蚀使pH升高时， Ce(OH)3就会首先在局部位置发生沉积.阴极反应过程产生的H2O2可将Ce(OH)3部分氧化成CeO2.     

Electrochemical behavior of Ni-Al-Fe alloys in simulated human body solution

An investigation about the corrosion resistance of Ni-Al-Fe intermetallic alloys in simulated human body fluid environments has been carried out using electrochemical techniques. Tested alloys included 57 (wt%) Ni-(20 to 30) Al-(12 to 23) Fe using the Hank's solution because the high corrosion resistance provided by protective Al₂O₃ external layer. For comparison, AISI 316L type stainless steel has also been used. Electrochemical techniques included potentiodynamic polarization curves, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and electrochemical noise measurements. The different techniques have shown that these alloys showed a similar or higher corrosion resistance than conventional AISI 316L type stainless steel, and this corrosion resistance decreased as the Al content in the alloy increased. The alloys were susceptible to pitting type of corrosion on the interdendritic Ni-rich phases.     

Electrochemical performance of Mg–9Al–1Zn alloy in aqueous medium

A systematic study on the corrosion and passivation behavior of AZ91D alloy in relation to the influence of concentration, temperature, pH, and immersion time was made in aqueous sulfate solution using electrochemical techniques including open-circuit potential, potentiodynamic polarization and impedance spectroscopy. It was found that the corrosion and pitting potentials (E _corr and E _pit) of the alloy drift to more active values with increasing either concentration (0.01–1.0 M) or temperature (278–338 K) of the test solution, suggesting that sulfate solution enhances the alloy dissolution, particularly at higher temperatures. On the other hand, values of the total film resistance (R _T) indicate that neutral solution (pH 7.0) supports the formation of a better protective layer on AZ91D surface than alkaline (pH 12.5) or acidic (pH 1.0) medium. The growth of a protective film on the alloy surface at short immersion times (up to ∼50 h) is evinced by a rapid positive evolution of E _corr and fast decrease in the corrosion rate (i _corr). However, for a long-term exposure (up to 500 h) E _corr drifts negatively and i _corr increases due to breakdown of the protective film, which causes a decrease in the alloy stability. Fitting the impedance data to equivalent circuit models suitable to each behavior assisted to explore the mechanism for the attack of the sample surface at various testing times. The results obtained from the three studied electrochemical techniques are in good agreement.     

Synergetic effect of sol–gel silica coating and physical/chemical pre-treatment on the oxidation behavior of Ti-6Al-4V alloy

The Ti-6Al-4V alloy was treated in concentrated phosphoric acid solution and by powder blasting, respectively, subsequently coated by silica using sol–gel dip-coating technique. A barrier layer of titanium pyrophosphate (TiP₂O₇) was synthesized at the Ti-6Al-4V substrate surface after the heat treatment. XRD and SEM/EDS analysis revealed that an amorphous silica coating was formed on the alloy. The isothermal and cyclic oxidation behavior of the treated alloy with silica coating and the corresponding bare alloy was investigated at 600 °C in static air to investigate the synergetic effect of the SiO₂ coating and surface treatment on the oxidation resistance of the alloy by thermogravimetry. The average parabolic rate constants of the treated specimens with silica coating were greatly reduced. The stratified oxide layer formed on the bare alloy, while thinner oxide layer formed on the treated alloys with silica coating. The oxidation resistance of the present alloy was improved. The effect of silica coating on the microhardness of the substrate was investigated.     

Anodic Behavior of Nickel-Chromium Alloys in Sodium Chloride Solutions: Pitting and Transpassivity

Anodic potentiodynamic and chronoamperometric curves on nickel-chromium alloys (2–50 wt % Cr) are obtained in NaCl solutions at various concentration, pH, and temperature. The dependences of pitting and repassivation potentials on the concentration and temperature are determined for alloy with 20 wt % Cr. The effect of the Cr content and pH on the anodic behavior of the alloys, in particular, the transition from a pitting breakdown of passivity to transpassivation, is shown. Quantitative time dependences of the current in the passive range are obtained and the steady-state values of this current are determined. The corrosion potential of the alloy with 20 wt % Cr is measured. Cathodic voltamograms for passive and chloride-ion-activated surface of the alloy are obtained.     

Effect of oxidation of nitride coatings on corrosion properties of Ti-6Al-4V alloy in 0.9% NaCl at 40°C

The corrosion properties of Ti-6Al-4V alloy with oxidized thermodiffusion nitride coatings were investigated in isotonic 0.9% solution of NaCl at temperature of 40°C. It was shown that modification of nitride coatings by oxygen leads to a deterioration of the protective properties of nitrided surface of Ti-6Al-4V alloy. The protective properties of the alloy with nitride coatings modified by oxygen are determined by the composition of formed surface oxynitride film.      

Breakdown potential modelling of austenitic stainless steel

The breakdown potential is a crucial factor in the study of pitting corrosion resistance of stainless steel. This work aims to demonstrate the advantage of different chemometric techniques to estimate the breakdown potential of austenitic stainless steel. In order to predict pitting corrosion behaviour of stainless steel, a total of 60 samples of this alloy were subjected to electrochemical tests varying chloride ion concentration, pH and temperature. The experimental values of the breakdown potential, in addition to the tested environmental factors, were used to construct the predictive models based on support vector machines and artificial neural networks. A multiple‐comparison study based on statistic tests was applied to determine the optimal configuration for each technique. According to the results, support vector machines became a suitable and reliable technique to be applied in the modelling of the breakdown potential of austenitic stainless steels. This technique outperformed the models based on artificial neural networks and provided a useful tool to compare the pitting corrosion resistance of stainless steel in different environmental conditions without recourse to polarization tests. Therefore, this model presented a relevant meaning in science and engineering applications. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Corrosion behavior of PEO-treated AZ31 Mg alloy in chloride solution

Corrosion behavior and resistance of plasma electrolyte oxidation (PEO)-treated AZ31 Mg alloy were investigated by immersion and potentiodynamic polarization tests in 0.5 M NaCl solution in view of the PEO film thickness and sealing treatment of the PEO films in boiling water. The PEO films were formed using pulse current for various durations in 1 M NaOH?+?0.5 M NaF solution. Filiform corrosion was observed during the immersion test while pitting corrosion occurred during the potentiodynamic polarization test, irrespective of sealing treatment of the PEO films. Corrosion resistance of AZ31 Mg alloy was improved remarkably by the formation of thicker PEO films and their sealing treatments.     

The effect of chloride concentration and pH on pitting corrosion of AA7075 aluminum alloy coated with phenyltrimethoxysilane

The effect of chloride ion concentration and pH of solution on the corrosion behavior of aluminum alloy AA7075 coated with phenyltrimethoxysilane (PTMS) immersed in aqueous solutions of NaCl is reported. Potentiodynamic polarization, linear polarization, open circuit potential, and weight loss measurements were performed. The surface of samples was examined using SEM and optical microscopy. Elemental characterization of the coating by secondary ion mass spectrometry indicates an intermediate layer between coating and aluminum alloy surface. The corrosion behavior of the aluminum alloy AA7075 depends on chloride concentration and pH of solution. In acidic or neutral solutions, general and pitting corrosion occur simultaneously. On the contrary, exposure to alkaline solutions results in general corrosion only. Results further reveal that aluminum alloy AA7075 is susceptible to pitting corrosion in all chloride solutions with concentrations between 0.05 M and 2 M NaCl; an increase in the chloride concentration slightly shifted both the pitting and corrosion potentials to more active values. Linear polarization resistance measurements show a substantially improved corrosion resistance value in case of samples coated with PTMS as compared to uncoated samples in both neutral (pH = 7), acidic (pH = 0.85 and 3), and alkaline chloride solutions (pH = 10 and 12.85). The higher corrosion resistance of the aluminum alloy coated with PTMS can be attributed to the hydrophobic coating which acts as a barrier and prevents chloride ion penetration and subsequent reaction with the aluminum alloy.     

Effects of severe plastic deformation on the corrosion behavior of aluminum alloys

Effects of severe plastic deformation on the corrosion behaviors of Al alloys containing precipitates have been investigated. Al and its alloys were severely deformed by equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) processes and the corrosion behaviors of the Al alloys were evaluated by means of potentiodynamic polarization in a neutral buffer solution containing 0.002 M chloride ion. Introduction of huge plastic deformation to both of Al-5.4 wt% Ni and Al-5 wt% Cu alloys increased pitting potential. In contrast, ECAP treatment of 4N pure Al resulted in a decrease in open circuit potential, slight increase of passive current and shift of pitting potential to the negative direction. The influence of the change in microstructures caused by severe plastic deformation was investigated.

Corrosion depth profiles of nitrided titanium alloy in acidified sulphate solution

Thick (400 µm) glow-discharge nitrided layers, TiN+Ti₂N + αTi(N) type, have been produced on the Ti-1Al-1Mn titanium alloy. Using a progressive thinning method, the polarization characteristics at different depths of nitrided layers have been measured. From the plots of obtained potentiodynamic polarization curves the depth profiles of characteristic anodic and cathodic currents (at potentials corresponding to (a) hydride formation, (b) hydrogen evolution, (c) primary passivation, (d) oxygen evolution and (e) secondary passivation) as well as polarization resistance have been determined in 0.5 M Na₂SO₄ solution acidified to pH = 2. The anomalously high slope of the polarization curves in the cathodic region has been ascribed to the formation of titanium hydride. It has been shown that outer nitrided layers (up to 25 µm) exhibit excellent acid corrosion resistance owing to strong inhibition of the anodic process by TiN phase. Corrosion resistance of deeper situated layers gradually decreases and at depths of 250–370 µm the corrosion process is accelerated by presence of TiO₂ precipitations. Nitrided layers, unlike the alloy core, allow oxygen evolution on the oxy-nitrided surface at potential of +1.6 V and at more positive potentials gradual transformation of the surfacial film into TiO₂ takes place. Secondary passivation on nitrided titanium is less efficient than that in the absence of Ti-N species.      

Corrosion behaviour of mechanically polished AA7075‐T6 aluminium alloy

In the present study, the effects of mechanical polishing on the microstructure and corrosion behaviour of AA7075 aluminium alloy are investigated. It was found that a nano‐grained, near‐surface deformed layer, up to 400 nm thickness, is developed due to significant surface shear stress during mechanically polishing. Within the near‐surface deformed layer, the alloying elements have been redistributed and the microstructure of the alloy is modified; in particular, the normal MgZn₂ particles for T6 are absent. However, segregation bands, approximately 10‐nm thick, containing mainly zinc, are found at the grain boundaries within the near‐surface deformed layer. The presence of such segregation bands promoted localised corrosion along the grain boundaries within the near‐surface deformed layer due to microgalvanic action. During anodic polarisation of mechanically polished alloy in sodium chloride solution, two breakdown potentials were observed at ?750 mV and ?700 mV, respectively. The first breakdown potential is associated with an increased electrochemical activity of the near‐surface deformed layer, and the second breakdown potential is associated with typical pitting of the bulk alloy.
