文摘Microbial contamination and the resulting corrosion in aircraft fuel system pose a serious threat to flight safety.Revealing the corrosion behavior and mechanism of fuel-degrading microorganisms on tank materials is crucial for developing effective mitigation strategies.In this study,the corrosion mechanisms of two representative hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria,Alcanivorax dieselolei and Microbacterium oxydans,toward AA7075 aluminum alloy,were systematically investigated.A combination of biofilm characterization,electrochemical testing,and surface/corrosion product characterization was employed.Both strains markedly accelerated the corrosion of AA7075,as evidence by the progressive decrease in polarization resistance and the pronounced rightward shift of the potentiodynamic polarization curves.Moreover,the difference between the pitting potential(E_(pit))and the corrosion potential(E_(corr))(ΔE=E_(pit)‒E_(corr))decreased due to microbial activities,indicating a pronounced tendency toward accelerated pitting corrosion.Corrosion morphology analysis revealed that both microbes promoted localized pitting corrosion.Furthermore,analysis of aviation kerosene composition indicated that both bacteria accelerated the degradation of C8 and C9 alkanes.These findings highlight the multiple threats of microbial contamination,material degradation,and fuel quality deterioration in fuel systems and underscore the need for targeted protection strategies for marine aviation operations.

文摘Enhancing corrosion resistance in cast alloys using straightforward and cost-effective micro-alloying techniques has emerged as a key area of investigation in materials science.The challenge lies in applying this technique to further enhance the already excellent properties of CoCrNi medium-entropy alloys(MEAs)for casting applications.A micro-alloying approach was proposed to improve the corrosion resistance of as-cast CoCrNi MEAs by incorporating cerium(Ce).The corrosion resistance of CoCrNi MEAs firstly increases and then decreases as the Ce content increases in a 3.5wt.%NaCl solution.At a Ce content of 0.02at.%,the passivation current density reaches its minimum value(26.383μA·cm^(-2)),while the breakdown potential reaches its maximum(0.471 V_(SCE)),imparting exceptional corrosion resistance.The results indicate that the enhanced corrosion resistance is primary due to Ce micro-alloying,which affects inclusions by forming a non-conductive precipitated phase and modifying the passivation film.Ce micro-alloying presents a promising strategy for enhancing the corrosion resistance of as-cast CoCrNi MEAs.

文摘The atmospheric corrosion behavior of 510L low alloy steel subjected to acid-cleaned surface(ACS)and eco-pickled surface(EPS)treatments is systematically examined.After 1 year of atmospheric exposure,both ACS-and EPS-treated samples demonstrate protective ability index values exceeding 2,indicating robust protective properties of the developed rust layers.The corrosion rates of ACS-and EPS-treated samples are similar.During the initial corrosion stage,γ-FeOOH emerges as the dominant corrosion product.With the prolonged atmospheric exposure,γ-FeOOH content progressively decreases through phase transformation into thermodynamically stableα-FeOOH and densely structured Fe_(3)O_(4),which markedly suppresses the corrosion of the steel.Notably,the corrosion rate of the coated EPS sample is obviously lower than that of the coated ACS counterpart,which is ascribed to the distinctive micro-roughness of EPS-treated surfaces that promote mechanical interlocking with protective coatings.

文摘In order to effectively prevent the contamination of carbon particle volatiles during high-purity SiC crystals are prepared using the physical vapor transport(PVT)method in ultra-high temperature environments(T³2000℃),this study innovatively attempts to protect graphite materials with SiC reinforced pyrolytic graphite(PyG)coating.It is discovered by preparing the SiC particle layer,the degree of graphitization and stability of PyG coating can be improved.The corrosion test results demonstrated that the SiC reinforced PyG coating can maintain an intact coating with a high graphitization degree after the SiC vapour corrosion test of 2050℃-120 h.Conversely,the samples with and without PyG coating reveal porous and eroded surfaces.Furthermore,following the SiC vapour corrosion test,the PyG coating sample’s integral ratio of D-band and G-band(I_(D)/I_(G))of Raman spectrum test data,reduced by 6.5%,while the SiC reinforced PyG coating decreased by 17.2%,indicating its excellent corrosion resistance.The application of SiC reinforced pyrolytic graphite coating in preparing the SiC single crystal might received a theoretical foundation according to this work.

文摘This work examines the microstructure and corrosion properties of fine-grained Al 7075 across different regions under varying cooling conditions during friction stir welding.The findings demonstrate that forced cooling significantly improves the corrosion resistance of the welded joints.Specifically,the corrosion resistance was the highest in the stir zone,followed by the thermo-mechanical affected zone,and then the heat affected zone.Forced cooling mitigates grain growth by controlling the welding thermal effects,thereby increasing the proportion ofΣ3 grain boundaries.The modification of these microstructural characteristics promotes the formation of a dense oxide layer,thereby enhancing the corrosion resistance.Furthermore,forced cooling mitigates the precipitation and coarsening of the anodic phase in the stir zone,which in turn reduces the susceptibility of the joint to pitting corrosion.Additionally,the lower recrystallization texture content in the joint,resulting from forced cooling,contributes to a reduction in the number of corrosion-active sites,thereby further improving the corrosion performance of the welded joint.

文摘The corrosion resistance of base metal,laser-arc hybrid welded AZ31B magnesium alloys with and without addition of carbon nanotubes(CNTs)was compared.The corrosion behaviors and the underlying improvement mechanism of CNTs were systematically investigated.The introduction of CNTs effectively refined the grains,weakened the texture and enhanced the microstructure homogeneity of the weld,which contributed to the enhancement of corrosion resistance.Specifically,the corrosion rates of hydrogen evolution and weight loss of weld decreased by>30%after the addition of CNTs,and the corrosion products were denser due to the formation of Al_(2)O_(3)passive film.The corrosion current density and polarization resistance of weld with addition of CNTs were 1.220μA/cm^(2)and 7155·cm^(2),respectively,in contrast to 2.480μA/cm^(2)and approximately 269.5·cm^(2)for the weld without CNTs.Besides,the content of precipitates in the weld increased from 0.60%to 1.76%after the addition of CNTs,which can release Al^(3+)ions,promoting the formation of a dense Al_(2)O_(3)film that serves to protect the metal matrix from further degradation.

文摘The influence of varying levels of impurity elements on the hot corrosion resistance of the DD98M alloy in Na_(2)SO_(4)+NaCl salt at 950℃ was investigated.The results indicate that the corrosion resistance of the DD98M alloy significantly decreases with an increase in impurity content,and the presence of nitrogen leads to an increase in alloy porosity.These porosities promote the rapid diffusion of molten salt and oxygen into the alloy,resulting in a bilateral diffusion of oxygen and sulfur,which leads to an accumulation of these elements at the oxide−matrix interface.This process contributes to the formation and propagation of interfacial cracks.A growth model was developed for hot corrosion products in alloys with varying impurity elements.

文摘The dissimilar 2B06 and 7B04 Al alloy joints were prepared by refill friction stir spot welding(RFSSW),and the microstructural evolution and corrosion behavior of the joints were investigated.Based on microstructural analysis,the welded joints exhibit distinct microstructural zones,including the stir zone(SZ),thermomechanically affected zone(TMAZ),and heat-affected zone(HAZ).The grain size of each zone is in the order of HAZ>TMAZ>SZ.Notably,the TMAZ and HAZ contain significantly larger secondary-phase particles compared to the SZ,with particle size in the HAZ increasing at higher rotational speeds.Electrochemical tests indicate that corrosion susceptibility follows the sequence of HAZ>TMAZ>SZ>BM,with greater sensitivity observed at increased rotational speeds.Post-corrosion mechanical performance degradation primarily arises from crevice corrosion at joint overlaps,but not from the changes in the microstructure.

文摘The impact of Mn addition on the microstructure,mechanical properties and corrosion behavior of T6-treated Al−Si−Mg−xMn(x=0.2−1.0 wt.%)alloys in a 3.5 wt.%NaCl solution was investigated.The results showed that adding 0.2 wt.%Mn to T6-treated Al−Si−Mg alloys enhanced the corrosion resistance by promoting the formation ofα-AlFeMnSi phase,characterized by smaller absolute Volta potential values compared to eutectic Si,β-AlFeSi andπ-AlFeMgSi phases.However,the addition of 0.5 wt.%Mn and 1.0 wt.%Mn to the T6-treated Al−Si−Mg alloys increased the size of theα-AlFeMnSi phase.This decreased the properties of T6-treated Al−Si−Mg alloys.Therefore,the optimum Mn content was 0.2 wt.%,providing a novel approach for synergistically enhancing mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of Al−Si−Mg alloys.

文摘This study produced wide(900-1200 mm)AZ31 alloy sheets with varying thicknesses via continuous casting direct rolling(7 mm,6 mm)combined with stepwise warm rolling(4.5 mm,2 mm),examining the effects of this process on microstructure,corrosion durability,mechanical properties,and discharge properties.Results showed that the reduced thickness significantly refined the grain size from 131.20µm to 7.90µm with the basal texture intensity reached 52%.Synergistic grain refinement,dislocation,and texture strengthening improved the yield strength(YS),ultimate tensile strength(UTS),and elongation(EL)of the 2 mm-thick sheet by 59.11%,39.75%,and 83.52%,respectively,compared to those of the 7 mm-thick sheet.Corrosion durability was also improved,with a corrosion rate of 2.19 mm·y^(-1)for the 2 mm sheet,which was 41%lower than that of the 7 mm sheet(3.72 mm·y^(-1)),due to the formation of a dense Al(OH)3 and layered double hydroxide corrosion film with mitigated micro-galvanic corrosion.As an Mg-air battery anode,the 2 mm sheet performed the best at 10 mA/cm^(2),achieving an anode efficiency of 61.18%,specific energy of 1660.50 mWh·g^(-1),easy discharge product detachment,and reduced self-corrosion.In summary,this study demonstrates a cost-effective and industrially viable approach that combines continuous casting direct rolling with stepwise warm rolling to produce ultra-wide AZ31 sheets with simultaneously improved overall properties,offering a novel strategy to expand the opportunity for commercial Mg alloys in both structural and functional applications.

文摘The effect of low concentrated green inhibitors based on Ce-adipate and Ce-chloride on the corrosion of 7075 aluminum alloy in neutral NaCl electrolyte was studied.Corrosion studies were carried out using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS)and linear sweep voltammetry(LSV)while scanning electron microscopy(SEM)and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS)were used to conduct surface studies of the alloy upon immersion in the corrosion media.The electrochemical experiments reveal a better inhibitory effect of Ce-adipate than Ce-chloride owing to a higher polarization resistance value(about two times),and a lower corrosion current density.However,both inhibitors act as cathodic inhibitors,show high resistance to pitting corrosion,and enable sufficient protection during prolonged immersion(240 h)in corrosion media.The XPS analysis confirms the presence of cerium in the oxidation states of Ce(III)and Ce(IV)together with the carboxylate-COO−groups and C-C and C-H bonds on the tested specimen with Ce-adipate inhibitor,which are connected to the increased anti-corrosion efficiency.
