Corrosion and Protection of Metals

Abstract

During the last few decades, an enormous effort has been made to understand corrosionphenomena and their mechanisms, and to elucidate the causes that dramatically influence the servicelifetime of metal materials [...]

Effect of Heat Treatment Conditions on Corrosion Resistance of 0.28C–1.4Mn–0.3Si–0.26Cr Steel with Nb, Ti, and V Microadditions

“…In the case of a weaker acid, the quantity of H+ ions that can react and solubilize oxide layer is greater compared to the strong acid. Moreover, easier access of oxygen to the metal surface with dissolved layer of oxides promotes oxygen depolarization, which has the most considerable influence on the corrosion rate [5,7].…”

“…Corrosion damage results in continuous reduction of the effective cross-section of constructions, parts of machines and devices, and thus decreasing the strength and performance properties over the time of their operation, with a simultaneous increase in stress without the load change [1][2][3]. This creates the necessity to periodically replace corrosion-damaged parts, often subjected to other wear mechanisms, causing weakening of operational values, and ultimately leading to unexpected failures, often hazardous to the environment [4][5][6][7][8].…”

Enhancement of Anticorrosive Performance of Cardanol Based Polyurethane Coatings by Incorporating Magnetic Hydroxyapatite Nanoparticles

“…Corrosion is a process in which metallic objects become damaged, which affects various sectors of industries such as automobile, construction, aerospace, marines, and healthcare. Metal corrosion is one of the big problems that result in massive losses to the economy as well as human health [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]. In the case of biomaterials, corrosion prevention is crucial particularly to overcome inflammation and allergic reactions caused by biomaterials as these materials are constantly challenged by biological fluids [ 4 ].…”
