Steels of two carbon level chemistries designed for this grade were used in the study. Fracture toughness of the steels was studied using 3-point bend test on samples coated with zinc and not coated with zinc. Lower carbon steel showed higher resistance to fracture than medium carbon steel after zinc galvanization. SEM study suggests that zinc and zinc bath additives that migrated to crack tips are responsible for the loss in ductility. The phenomenon of Liquid Metal Embrittlement (LME) is suggested to have taken place. Zinc bath additives traced at crack zones are suggested to have migrated at the zinc galvanizing temperatures.展开更多

To further ...The aluminum alloy-steel hybrid structures offer numerous advantages, including lightweight and flexibility. However, the contact between aluminum alloy and steel is prone to cause serious local corrosion. To further reveal the corrosion mechanism at the contact region of aluminum alloy/steel, this paper investigates the crevice corrosion of QC-10 aluminum alloy and the crevice-galvanic coupling corrosion of QC-10 aluminum alloy/S50C steel, explores the synergistic effect of different crevice height, pH and Cl- concentration on the corrosion behavior of QC-10 aluminum alloy by electrochemical experiments, immersion corrosion experiments and microscopic morphology characterization. The results demonstrate that the crevice corrosion of aluminum alloy decreases with the increase of crevice height, and there exists a critical crevice height for the occurrence of crevice corrosion. In the aluminum alloy-steel hybrid structure, the galvanic effect accelerates the crevice corrosion of aluminum alloy, and the corrosion products of steel embedded in the aluminum alloy oxide film decrease the corrosion resistance of the aluminum alloy. Additionally, the corrosion products of steel alter the crevice solution compositions, while intensifying the crevice corrosion of aluminum alloy. It is concluded that reasonable control of the crevice height and the inhibition of the corrosion of steel are effective methods to improve the corrosion resistance of aluminum alloy-steel hybrid structures.展开更多

The results show that the corrosion process of copper in seawater can be divided into two stages, in which corrosion resistance and SE show the same evolution trend of initial increase and subsequent decrease, while SG changes oppositely. However, the ensemble corrosion process of copper/titanium GC in seawater includes three stages, in which corrosion resistance and SE show the evolution features of initial decrease with a subsequently increase, and the final decrease again;while SG changes oppositely. The potential difference between copper and titanium in their galvanic couple can accelerate the initiation of pitting corrosion of copper, and both the minimum and maximum corrosion potentials of copper/titanium GC are much more positive than those of pure copper.展开更多

Low carbon and lo...A new type of transformation induced plasticity （TRIP） steel with not only high strength and high ductility but also superior welding and galvanizing properties was designed and developed recently. Low carbon and low silicon content were preliminarily selected with the aim of meeting the requirements of superior quality in both welding and galvanizing. Phosphorus was chosen as one of the alloying elements, because it could reduce carbon activity in cementite and increase the stability of austenite. In addition, the possibility of phosphorus segregating at grain boundary was also discussed by thermodynamics as well as kinetics. Phase diagram was estimated at high temperature and the composition of the steel was then selected in the hyperperitectic range to avoid problems, which might occur in sheet steel continuous casting. Phase diagram in the inter.critical temperature was estimated for the steel to obtain the starting temperature of fast cooling. For understanding the minimum rate of fast cooling, pearlite growth kinetics was calculated with self-developed diffusion coefficients of elements in grain boundary. Overaging temperature was determined through the calculation of To temperature by both equilibrium and para-equilibrium assumptions, which was different from the current determination, which is only based on an equilibrium estimation.展开更多

文摘This study aimed to investigate the effect of varying pyrite(Py)content on copper(Cu)in the presence of different regrinding conditions,which were altered using different types of grinding media:iron,ceramic balls,and their mixture,followed by flotation in the cleaner stage.The flotation performance of rough Cu concentrate can be improved by changing the regrinding conditions based on the Py content.Scanning electron microscopy,X-ray spectrometry,ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium salt extraction,and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy studies illustrated that when the Py content was high,the use of iron media in regrinding promoted the generation of hydrophilic Fe OOH on the surface of Py and improved the Cu grade.The ceramic medium with a low Py content prevented excessive Fe OOH from covering the surface of chalcopyrite(Cpy).Electrochemical studies further showed that the galvanic corrosion current of Cpy-Py increased with the addition of Py and became stronger with the participation of iron media.

文摘The detailed precipitation behavior and grain structure in different sub-regions of friction stir welding(FSW)AA6061-T6 joint after post-weld solution and aging treatments were explored.And the effects of microstructural evolution on mechanical properties,macro/micro electrochemical corrosion behavior and stress corrosion cracking behavior were investigated.The inherent microstructural gradients in FSW joint lead to dramatic degradation of mechanical properties and the presence of macro-galvanic effect,with the latter exacerbating anodic dissolution in heat-affected zone(HAZ)induced by micro-galvanic corro-sion and inhibiting pitting corrosion in stirred zone(SZ).Post-weld heat treatment(PWHT)causes the formation of matrix precipitates with similar densities in different sub-regions,resulting in optimized precipitate distribution,comprehensive hardness recovery,and diminished macro-galvanic effect.Grain boundary misorientation angle,grain size and pre-existing dislocations synergistically influence the evo-lution of grain boundary precipitates(GBPs)and precipitation-free zones(PFZs)during the PWHT.As a result,pitting corrosion is the dominant corrosion form in SZ due to the narrowest PFZ width and dis-persed GBPs,while intergranular corrosion is caused by continuous GBPs in other sub-regions.This study verified the dominant role of macro-galvanic effect and micro-galvanic effect in the corrosion process of FSW joint and FSW-PWHT joint,respectively.The maximum SCC susceptibility at HAZ in As-FSWed joint is dominated by enhanced anodic dissolution due to macro-galvanic effect.The SCC sensitivity of FSW-PWHT joint is higher than that of FSW joint due to high electrochemical activity and corrosion rate caused by the severe stress concentration between sub-grains and recrystallized grains at the thermome-chanical affected zone(TMAZ)/SZ interface.

文摘The aluminum alloy-steel hybrid structures offer numerous advantages, including lightweight and flexibility. However, the contact between aluminum alloy and steel is prone to cause serious local corrosion. To further reveal the corrosion mechanism at the contact region of aluminum alloy/steel, this paper investigates the crevice corrosion of QC-10 aluminum alloy and the crevice-galvanic coupling corrosion of QC-10 aluminum alloy/S50C steel, explores the synergistic effect of different crevice height, pH and Cl- concentration on the corrosion behavior of QC-10 aluminum alloy by electrochemical experiments, immersion corrosion experiments and microscopic morphology characterization. The results demonstrate that the crevice corrosion of aluminum alloy decreases with the increase of crevice height, and there exists a critical crevice height for the occurrence of crevice corrosion. In the aluminum alloy-steel hybrid structure, the galvanic effect accelerates the crevice corrosion of aluminum alloy, and the corrosion products of steel embedded in the aluminum alloy oxide film decrease the corrosion resistance of the aluminum alloy. Additionally, the corrosion products of steel alter the crevice solution compositions, while intensifying the crevice corrosion of aluminum alloy. It is concluded that reasonable control of the crevice height and the inhibition of the corrosion of steel are effective methods to improve the corrosion resistance of aluminum alloy-steel hybrid structures.

文摘The new energy vehicle body composed of multi-metals requires a synchronous chemical conversion coating to exhibit excellent corrosion resistance.Herein,we prepared a titanium/zirconium/water-based oligomeric epoxy silane composite chemical conversion coating on multi-metals,and conducted an investigation into its electrochemical behavior and micro-zone structural characteristics upon immersion in a 3.5%NaCl solution.The electrochemical results combined with characterization results revealed that the corrosion evolution characteristics of the composite coatings could be categorized into three stages of mild corrosion,synergistic protection,and substrate damage.Besides,Si-OH groups interact with Me-OH at the defect on the multi-metal surface to form an organic monolayer coating.This organic monolayer coating,in conjunction with the synergistic inorganic conversion layer comprising Al_(2)O_(3),TiO_(2),2H_(2)O,ZrO_(2),2H_(2)O,effectively cooperates with the corrosion products to hinder the erosion by the corrosive medium and suppresses the progression of the anodic reaction.

文摘The corrosion behaviors of copper and copper/titanium galvanic couple （GC） in seawater were studied by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy （EIS） and electrochemical noise （EN） techniques in conjunction with scanning electron microscopy （SEM） method. The results show that the corrosion process of copper in seawater can be divided into two stages, in which corrosion resistance and SE show the same evolution trend of initial increase and subsequent decrease, while SG changes oppositely. However, the ensemble corrosion process of copper/titanium GC in seawater includes three stages, in which corrosion resistance and SE show the evolution features of initial decrease with a subsequently increase, and the final decrease again;while SG changes oppositely. The potential difference between copper and titanium in their galvanic couple can accelerate the initiation of pitting corrosion of copper, and both the minimum and maximum corrosion potentials of copper/titanium GC are much more positive than those of pure copper.

文摘The effects of galvanic interaction between galena and pyrite on their flotation and electrochemical characters were studied by electrochemical,adsorption,flotation and FTIR techniques,respectively.Electrochemical tests indicate that galena is electrochemically more active than pyrite and serves as an anode in galvanic combination with pyrite.The galvanic current density from a mixture of galena and pyrite is 4 times as high as the self corrosion current density of galena,which indicates that the corrosion rate of galena is accelerated.Adsorption tests show that the adsorption of butyl xanthate on galena surface is enhanced,and affected by a combination of pyrite-galena mixtures and conditioning time.Compared with individual mineral particles,galvanic interaction reduces the floatability difference between galena and pyrite.The flotation recovery of galena decreases while that of pyrite increases when two minerals are mixed together due to the influence of galvanic interaction on the formation of hydrophilic/hydrophobic product.The FTIR results show that the formation of dixanthogen on pyrite surface is depressed due to the galvanic interaction.

文摘Effects of reflowing temperature and time on the alloy layer of tinplate and its electrochemical behavior in 3.5%NaCl solution were investigated by electrochemical measurements and surface characterization.It is found that the amount of alloy layer increases with the increase of reflowing temperature and time.Then the corrosion potential of detinned tinplate shifts positively and the corrosion rate decreases.After being coupled with tin,the detinned tinplate acts as cathode and tin acts as anode initially.However,after being exposed for some time,the potential shifts of both detinned tinplate and tin reverse the polarity of the coupling system.The galvanic current density decreases with the increase of reflowing temperature and time.

文摘A new type of transformation induced plasticity （TRIP） steel with not only high strength and high ductility but also superior welding and galvanizing properties was designed and developed recently. Low carbon and low silicon content were preliminarily selected with the aim of meeting the requirements of superior quality in both welding and galvanizing. Phosphorus was chosen as one of the alloying elements, because it could reduce carbon activity in cementite and increase the stability of austenite. In addition, the possibility of phosphorus segregating at grain boundary was also discussed by thermodynamics as well as kinetics. Phase diagram was estimated at high temperature and the composition of the steel was then selected in the hyperperitectic range to avoid problems, which might occur in sheet steel continuous casting. Phase diagram in the inter.critical temperature was estimated for the steel to obtain the starting temperature of fast cooling. For understanding the minimum rate of fast cooling, pearlite growth kinetics was calculated with self-developed diffusion coefficients of elements in grain boundary. Overaging temperature was determined through the calculation of To temperature by both equilibrium and para-equilibrium assumptions, which was different from the current determination, which is only based on an equilibrium estimation.

文摘While the thick growth of intermediate phase layers generally benefits the corrosion resistance of galvanized steels,it is unfavorable from the standpoints of mechanical integrity and economics.Thus,the influence of nickel chloride-based fluxes and the typical zinc-ammonium chloride flux on galvanized coating thickness as well as coating morphology and composition is examined.The investigation of pretreated hot dip galvanized steel specimens for various durations has verified that nickel chloride fluxes influence the growth rate of the zeta interlayer.This results in the overall reduction of the coating thickness by as much as two times compared to those prepared with the conventional flux.Nickel from the fluxes gradually diffuses away from the substrate＇s surface,and hence the initial concentration of the nickel salts along with the hot dip duration needs to be controlled appropriately for effective use of nickel chloride-based fluxes in the galvanizing process.
