Effect of surface treatments on the localized corrosion resistance of the AA2198-T8 aluminum lithium alloy welded by FSW process

In this work, the effect of eight types of surface treatments on the corrosion resistance of friction stir welded samples of an AA2198-T8 Al-Cu-Li alloy were tested and compared in an attempt to find suitable alternatives to toxic and carcinogenic hexavalent chromium treatments. All the samples were anodized and subjected to different post-anodizing treatments. The post-anodizing treatments were (1) hydrothermal treatment in Ce (NO₃)₃ 6H₂O solution; (2) hydrothermal treatment in Ce (NO₃)₃ 6H₂O solution with H₂O₂; (3) hydrothermal treatment in boiling water; (4) hexavalent chromium conversion coating; and (5) immersion in BTSE (bis-1,2-(triethoxysilyl) ethane. The corrosion resistance of the treated samples was evaluated by immersion tests in sodium chloride solution (0.1 mol L⁻¹ NaCl) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) of the friction stir weldment. The results showed that among the alternative treatments, the Ce-containing solutions presented the best corrosion resistance, especially when used without peroxide.

Novel combined stir bar sorptive extraction coupled with ultrasonic assisted extraction for the determination of brominated flame retardants in environmental samples using high performance liquid chromatography

A combined stir bar coated with poly (dimethysiloxane)-beta-cyclodextrin (PDMS-beta-CD) on single side has been prepared for the first time by sol-gel method and was coupled with ultrasonic assisted extraction (UAE) for the determination of some brominated flame-retardant compounds (BFRs) in soil and dust samples by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Four different kinds of coatings including PDMS-beta-CD, PDMS, carbowax (CW)-PDMS-poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and PDMS-PVA were evaluated for stir bar sorptive extraction of BFRs by orthogonal experiment design. The experimental results reveal that the PDMS-beta-CD combined stir bar exhibited the best extraction efficiency for the target analytes. The reproducibility for the preparation of PDMS-beta-CD combined stir bar ranged from 1.3% to 15.7% in one batch, and 7.2% to 15.1% among batches. Extraction time, desorption solvent, concentration of methanol and NaCl in the matrix, pH, temperature and stirring speed were optimized. The combined stir bar can avoid direct friction of the coating with the bottom of the vessel, and could be used for more than 100 times. Linearity (>0.993), repeatability (<10.5%), reproducibility (<16.5%), recovery (56-118%) and detection limits (2.9-4.2 microg L(-1)) were proper to determine the seven BFRs. The developed method was applied to the determination of BFRs in soil and dust with satisfactory results.

Oxidative and tribological properties of amorphous and quasicrystalline approximant Al-Cu-Fe thin films

The origins of the tribological properties and corrosion resistance of amorphous and quasicrystalline approximant alloys have been studied by comparing their properties in thin Al-Cu-Fe alloy films with compositions lying near the quasicrystalline region of the ternary compositional phase diagram. Six sputtered thin films of an Al-Cu-Fe alloy were studied using X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS), and an in situ ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) tribometer. The films were annealed in UHV to induce the formation of orthorhombic, rhombohedral, and amorphous bulk structures. The properties of these thin films were then determined in the same UHV apparatus without exposing the films to air. The rates of surface oxidation by H2O and O2 were measured using XPS. Although the oxidation rates and oxide thicknesses were dependent on the oxidant, they were not sensitive to the structures of the films. Friction was measured between identical samples in sliding contact. The friction coefficients (micros = 0.36 +/- 0.11 to 0.56 +/- 0.08) were comparable to those observed in other experiments using quasicrystals and approximants in UHV; however, there was no strong correlation between the friction coefficients and either the film structure or the degree of surface oxidation. These results suggest that the tribological and corrosion resistance properties of these quasicrystalline approximant alloys are not directly connected to crystalline structure.

Magnetic field effect on autocatalysis: Ag and Cu in concentrated nitric acid

The partial suppression of corrosion of Ag and Cu in concentrated nitric acid solution by a magnetic field of up to 5 T was studied. The corrosion current density of these metals was found to diminish with magnetic field and rotation speed in a rotating disk electrode experiment. The suppression of corrosion is associated with removal of the catalyst HNO(2) from the electrode and passivation of the electrode surface. The Lorentz force was identified as the driving force responsible for the partial suppression of corrosion. A model based on the partial areas associated with active and passive regions on Ag and Cu electrodes is introduced to explain the dependence of the current density on the applied magnetic field.     

Corrosion behavior of AZ91D magnesium alloy in distilled water

The corrosion of AZ91D magnesium alloy has received extensive attention due to the continuous expansion of its application field in recent years. However, the corrosion of AZ91D magnesium alloy in distilled water is relatively few. In this paper, the corrosion behavior of AZ91D magnesium alloy was studied in distilled water by electrochemical tests in combination with weight loss and surface analysis methods. The results indicated that the corrosion rate of AZ91D magnesium alloy increased with the increase of temperature and immersion time. The increase of the corrosion rate of AZ91D magnesium alloy with the increase of immersion time might be attributed to the damage of the structure of corrosion product film by hydrogen evolution, significantly accelerating the anodic process of AZ91D magnesium alloy. It was interesting that, in distilled water, the EIS of AZ91D magnesium alloy excluded an inductive arc in the low frequency region, which indicated that there was no the adsorption and desorption of aggressive ions or the damage and repair of film. The corrosion product film of AZ91D magnesium alloy in distilled water was composed of a compact inner corrosion product film and a loose outer corrosion product film.     

Thermal degradation of polyetherimide joined by friction riveting (FricRiveting). Part I: Influence of rotation speed

The thermal degradation of polyetherimides joined by friction riveting (FricRiveting) (Amancio Filho ST, Beyer M, Dos Santos JF. Verfahren zum Verbinden eines metallischen Bolzens mit einem Kunststoff-Werkstück - DE 10 2005 056 606 A1. Germany: Deutsches Patent- und Markenamt; 2007) has been investigated for varying rotation speeds. The rotation speed is an important variable to be understood in order to predict thermal degradation during this process. Investigated rotation speeds in the range of 1570-2199 rad/s resulted in high process temperatures (350-475 °C) and heating rates (up to 2 °C/100 rad/s), but only small heating times (<3 s). Thermal degradation was evaluated by gel permeation chromatography, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray computer microtomography. The results indicated that thermal degradation in the PEI polymer was mainly due to chain scission. Moreover, the small level of thermally degraded material (average drops of 10% in molecular weight) showed only a minor dependence on rotation speed. Although high peak temperatures and heating rates were present, the restricted variation and average values of heating time were insufficient to cause strong thermal changes in the joints of the studied rotation speed range.

The corrosion resistant performance and durability of the superhydrophobic surface on magnesium alloy coated with nanostructured cerium oxide film and fluoroalkylsilane molecules in corrosive NaCl aqueous solution were investigated using electrochemical and contact angle measurements. The durability of the superhydrophobic surface in corrosive 5 wt% NaCl aqueous solution was elucidated. The corrosion resistant performance of the superhydrophobic surface formed on magnesium alloy was estimated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements. The EIS measurements and appropriate equivalent circuit models revealed that the superhydrophobic surface considerably improved the corrosion resistant performance of magnesium alloy AZ31. American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standard D 3359-02 cross cut tape test was performed to investigate the adhesion of the superhydrophobic film to the magnesium alloy surface. The corrosion formation mechanism of the superhydrophobic surface formed on the magnesium alloy was also proposed.
