The salt spray tests of the coated samples and the substrates were carded out in a salt spray test machine. The phase composition and surface morphology of the coatings were investigated by XRD and SEAM. Severe corrosion occurred on the substrate surface, while there were no obvious corrosion phenomena on the coated samples. The coatings were composed of Al2TiO5 and a little α-Al2O3 and mille TiO2, and the salt spray test did not change the composition of the coatings. The weight loss rate of the coatings decreased with increasing MPO time because of the increase in density and thickness of the coatings. The surface morphology of the coatings was influenced by salt spray corrosion test. Among the coated samples, the coating prepared for 2 h has the best corrosion resistance under salt spray test.展开更多

Moreover, the invalidation mechanism of VC coating after salt spray and its effect on substrate material were discussed. The experimental results shown that the uniformity and integrity of VC coating surface are destroyed by salt spray for 120 h, a large number of the pits are produced on the coating surface, and the coating falls off, which speeds corrosion breakage of its substrate; the oxidated film on its surface becomes rougher, broken and discontinuous, and falls off easily, which reduce the ability of resistance salt spray; the failure modes of VC coating after salt spray are expressed with falling off of oxidated film, stress concentration and pore effect and so on, the corrosion breakage of oxidated film is the corrosion result of deoxidization corrosion from oxygen and HCl produced by NaCl and vapor.展开更多

The microstructures, phases, residual stresses and retained austenite content of 1Cr5 Mo steel welding joint before and after LHT were analyzed with optical microscope and X-ray diffraction, respectively. The cracking morphologies and chemical compositions of corrosion products after salt spray corrosion were analyzed with field emission scanning electron microscopy(FESEM) and energy disperse spectroscopy(EDS), respectively, the polarization curves were measured on a PS-268 A type electrochemical workstation, and the mechanism of corrosion resistance by LHT was investigated as well. The results show that the passive film of original sample is destroyed owing to the corrosive media penetrating into the subsurface, resulting in the redox reaction. The content of residual austenite in the surface and the self-corrosion potential are increased by LHT, which is contributed to improving the capability of salt spray corrosion resistance.展开更多

Ni-Zn-Al2O3 coatings as interlayers were prepared by low pressure cold spray（LPCS） between NiCr-Cr3C2 cermet coatings to form a sandwich structure to enhance the corrosion resistance properties. The tribological properties were examined using the UMT-3 fricition and wear tester by line-contact reciprocating sliding under dry and salt spray one week corrosion. The morphology, element distribution, and phase compositions of the coating and worn sufaces were analyzed by using scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectrometry, and X-ray diffraction respectively. The corrosion behavior of the coating was studied by the open-circuit potential, the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, potentiodynamic polarization, and salt spray corrosion methods. It is found that the sandwich structured coating has better corrosion resistance than the single layer coating. The results show that under dry wear conditions, the wear mechanism is abrasive and adhesive wear, whereas under salt spray corrosion conditions it becomes corrosion wear. The friction coefficient of the sandwich structured coating after salt spray corrosion is slightly lower than the dry friction coefficient, but the weight of the wear loss is lower than that under dry condition.展开更多

It was shown that the fatigue crack initiation resistances of the two steels are significantly re- duced in salt spray;the fatigue crack growth rates of steels increase with the decrease of fre- quency and are much higher in salt spray than in air within low ΔK range.A critical stress in- tensity factor was observed for each steel and the crack growth stoppage will occur if the ΔK values are lower than it.It was found that the active dissolution makes great contribution to the fatigue crack growth within low ΔK range.展开更多

Moreover, the mechanism was investigated using the mass loss method, polarization curves, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy（EIS）, stereology microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy（EDS）. The results show that M152 steel suffers severe corrosion, especially pitting corrosion, in a high-salt-spray environment. In the early stage of the experiment, the color of the corrosion products was mainly orange. The products then gradually evolved into a dense, brown substance, which coincided with a decrease of corrosion rate. Correspondingly, the EIS spectrum of M152 in the late test also exhibited three time constants and presented Warburg impedance at low frequencies.展开更多

The first step involved preparing nano-AI concentrates with high concentration and low viscosity, and the second step produced nano- composite epoxy coatings by mixing the nano-AI concentrates and epoxy resin. Later, the coating was examined with immersion and salt spray tests. The coatings were characterized by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy （EIS）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS）. The results showed that the 5% nano-AI significantly improves the corrosion resistance of the coatings. There are two effects of nano-AI on the coating. Nano-AI is corroded initially to protect the substrate from corrosion, and then the aluminum oxide and aluminum hydroxide were produced after corrosion of nano-AI, which hindered the transmission of corrosion fluid into the coatings.展开更多

Ni-Zn-Al2O3 coatings as interlayers were prepared by low pressure cold spray（LPCS） between NiCr-Cr3C2 cermet coatings to form a sandwich structure to enhance the corrosion resistance properties. The tribological properties were examined using the UMT-3 fricition and wear tester by line-contact reciprocating sliding under dry and salt spray one week corrosion. The morphology, element distribution, and phase compositions of the coating and worn sufaces were analyzed by using scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectrometry, and X-ray diffraction respectively. The corrosion behavior of the coating was studied by the open-circuit potential, the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, potentiodynamic polarization, and salt spray corrosion methods. It is found that the sandwich structured coating has better corrosion resistance than the single layer coating. The results show that under dry wear conditions, the wear mechanism is abrasive and adhesive wear, whereas under salt spray corrosion conditions it becomes corrosion wear. The friction coefficient of the sandwich structured coating after salt spray corrosion is slightly lower than the dry friction coefficient, but the weight of the wear loss is lower than that under dry condition.
文摘The corrosion fatigue propagation behaviour of high strength low alloy Cr-Ni and Si-Mn steels has been investigated in 3.5 %NaCl solution spryly at the frequencies of 0.1 and 5.5 Hz. It was shown that the fatigue crack initiation resistances of the two steels are significantly re- duced in salt spray;the fatigue crack growth rates of steels increase with the decrease of fre- quency and are much higher in salt spray than in air within low ΔK range.A critical stress in- tensity factor was observed for each steel and the crack growth stoppage will occur if the ΔK values are lower than it.It was found that the active dissolution makes great contribution to the fatigue crack growth within low ΔK range.

文摘Detecting multiple parameters in salt spray environments is critical,as it significantly enhances the stability and reliability of real-time corrosion monitoring systems.However,current sensor strategies for detecting salt spray parameters face challenges such as poor timeliness,short lifespan,and low detection accuracy.This work introduces a multi-parameter micro-nano sensor based on Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems(MEMS)technology,which integrates temperature,humidity,and conductivity detection units.Through a systematic characterization of the sensor’s performance,the sensor demonstrates excellent linearity,ideal detection ranges,and satisfactory accuracies with detection accuracies of±0.1℃ for temperature,±2%RH for humidity,and±0.1 mS/cm for conductivity.This sensor offers a practical strategy for calculating the instantaneous corrosion rate of aircraft over the ocean.Additionally,based on the positive correlation between the three parameters and the liquid film thickness,a critical threshold determination method for the dynamic behavior of the sensor surface liquid film is further explored.This method macroscopically distinguishes the phase transition boundary between dry and wet states of the liquid film,offering a theoretical foundation for differentiated corrosion rate assessment and improved corrosion prediction accuracy.Highprecision monitoring of environmental parameters during long-term salt spray and atmospheric exposure experiments is achieved using a self-developed online testing system.Real-time data compensation is also provided to improve the sensor’s stability and accuracy.Consequently,the proposed high-precision,miniaturized,and massproducible multi-parameter sensor holds great promise as a competitive device for detecting salt spray environmental parameters in real-time corrosion monitoring systems for the aerospace field.

文摘The corrosion behaviors of Mg–7Gd–5Y–1Nd–0.5Zr alloys after T5 treatment under(NH4)_(2)SO_(4),NaCl and Ca(NO_(3))_(2)salt spray condition were investigated by weight loss rates,residual mechanical properties,scanning electron microscope(SEM),X-ray Diffraction(XRD)and potentiodynamic polarization tests.The corrosion degree of Mg–7Gd–5Y–1Nd–0.5Zr alloys in Ca(NO_(3))_(2)salt spray was very shallow by corrosion morphology and the corrosion route was extended along the surface in texture-like shape,while the alloy in NaCl and(NH4)_(2)SO_(4)salt spray were major local corrosion and there were serious corrosion pits on the surface.The weight loss rates in(NH4)_(2)SO_(4),NaCl and Ca(NO_(3))_(2)salt spray was respectively 0.4147,0.1618 and 0.0725 mg/(cm2 d−1).The results of residual mechanical properties indicated that the corrosion order in salts spray of Mg–7Gd–5Y–1Nd–0.5Zr alloys is NH4SO4>NaCl>Ca(NO_(3))_(2),which was consistent with the results of potentiodynamic polarization tests.The type of the salts will play a vital role in the initiation of the corrosion of EW75 alloy when they are used in the atmosphere environments.Inorganic salts with the smaller PH value after dissolution will have a stronger impact on the corrosion of EW75 magnesium alloys.

文摘Salt spray is a natural disturbance in coastal region.Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi(AMF)are recognized as bio-ameliorators of soil salinity in plants.However,the mechanism through which AMF protects Cinnamomum camphora against aerial salinity remains unclear.To address this knowledge gap,plants were subjected to four fungal regimes,namely sterilized fungal inoculum,Glomus tortuosum,Funneliformis mosseae,or a combination of these two fungi,and exposed to three sprayed-salt regimes(0,7,or 14 mg NaCl cm−2 d−1)in a greenhouse.Salt spray significantly decreased photosynthetic capabilities,total dry weight,and salinity tolerance of non-mycorrhizal plants.Mycorrhizal inoculation,particularly a combination of G.tortuosum and F.mosseae,evidently mitigated the detrimental effects induced by salt spray.Meanwhile,mycorrhiza-mediated protection depended on the intensity of sprayed salt and the identity of fungal taxa.Furthermore,the enhanced resistance of mycorrhizal C.camphora seedlings to aerial salinity was mainly owing to increased leaf thickness and photosynthetic capabilities.These findings imply that inoculation with combined fungi could be an optimal strategy for cultivating C.camphora plants in coastal regions.The results gained hold the potential to offer both theoretical and practical guidance for the managers of coastal ecosystems in soil restoration and conservation.

文摘The corrosion failure mechanism of M152 was studied using the neutral salt-spray test to better understand the corrosion behavior of 1Cr12Ni3Mo2VN（M152）, provide a basis for the optimization of material selection, and prevent the occurrence of failure. Moreover, the mechanism was investigated using the mass loss method, polarization curves, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy（EIS）, stereology microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy（EDS）. The results show that M152 steel suffers severe corrosion, especially pitting corrosion, in a high-salt-spray environment. In the early stage of the experiment, the color of the corrosion products was mainly orange. The products then gradually evolved into a dense, brown substance, which coincided with a decrease of corrosion rate. Correspondingly, the EIS spectrum of M152 in the late test also exhibited three time constants and presented Warburg impedance at low frequencies.
文摘Design a precision electroplating mechanical structure for automobiles based on finite element analysis method and analyze its mechanical properties.Taking the automobile steering knuckle as the research object,ABAQUS parametric modeling technology is used to construct its three-dimensional geometric model,and geometric simplification is carried out.Two surface treatment processes,HK-35 zinc nickel alloy electroplating and pure zinc electroplating,were designed,and the influence of different coatings on the mechanical properties of steering knuckles was compared and analyzed through numerical simulation.At the same time,standard specimens were prepared for salt spray corrosion testing and scratch method combined strength testing to verify the numerical simulation results.The results showed that under emergency braking and composite working conditions,the peak Von Mises stress of the zinc nickel alloy coating was 119.85 MPa,which was lower than that of the pure zinc coating and the alkaline electroplated zinc layer.Its equivalent strain value was 652×10^(-6),which was lower than that of the pure zinc coating and the alkaline electroplated zinc layer.Experimental data confirms that zinc nickel alloy coatings exhibit significant advantages in stress distribution uniformity,strain performance,and load-bearing capacity in high stress zones.The salt spray corrosion test further indicates that the coating has superior corrosion resistance and coating substrate interface bonding strength,which can significantly improve the mechanical stability and long-term reliability of automotive precision electroplating mechanical structures.

文摘It is imperative to develop multifunctional erosion and corrosion resistant coatings for compressor blades of aircraft engines in harsh environment.PVD(Physical Vapor Deposition)technology has the advances in processing erosion-resistant coatings;however,the performance of PVD coatings to combat corrosion depends on various coating defects.Determining and comparing the corrosion performances of PVD TiN/Ti coating and uncoated TC4 alloy was the main objective of present work.The 960 h salt spray corrosion and 116 h hot corrosion tests were conducted to simulate the grounding and working environments of the aircraft compressors.The corrosion mechanisms due to the coating defects such as pinhole,columnar boundary and large grain were analyzed based on the OM,Confocal microscope,electrochemical measurements,SEM,XRD and EDS results.Owing to the disordered state associated with the columnar boundary and the coating defect,nitrogen could be easily replaced by oxygen in the hot corrosion process,these structures were channels for fast diffusion of oxygen.Moreover,the Gibbs energy changes of Ti oxidation and TiN oxidation were thermodynamically calculated according to the working condition of aircraft compressors,and considerable research effort was focused on mapping out the phase diagram of Ti,TiN and high pressure gases.The findings of this research can provide insights into developing multifunctional coatings for future aircraft engines.
文摘The effects of rare earths on the properties of the microarc oxidation（MAO） coating on a magnesium alloy were investigated by means of scanning electron microscopy（SEM）,energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy（EDS）,and electrochemistry methods.The results show that a nice and compact MAO coating was successfully obtained when the magnesium alloy was treated in nitrate solutions as the pre-treatment of MAO.However,the MAO was not successfully completed for the silicate electrolytes with the addition of rare earths.After the magnesium alloy being treated by rare earth nitrate,the obtained MAO coating has advantages such as uniform distribution of thickness,improved corrosion resistance,and nice-uniform surface,as compared with the untreated magnesium alloy.In addition,the time of non-ESP,the voltage and current density of the MAO process obviously decrease.Cerium oxide doped on the surface of the magnesium alloy can significantly improve the corrosion resistance of the MAO coating and decrease the current density of the MAO process,as compared with lanthanum oxide,whereas the doped rare earths have no significant effect on the components of the MAO coating.

文摘A two-stage process was used to produce nano-composite epoxy coatings. The first step involved preparing nano-AI concentrates with high concentration and low viscosity, and the second step produced nano- composite epoxy coatings by mixing the nano-AI concentrates and epoxy resin. Later, the coating was examined with immersion and salt spray tests. The coatings were characterized by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy （EIS）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS）. The results showed that the 5% nano-AI significantly improves the corrosion resistance of the coatings. There are two effects of nano-AI on the coating. Nano-AI is corroded initially to protect the substrate from corrosion, and then the aluminum oxide and aluminum hydroxide were produced after corrosion of nano-AI, which hindered the transmission of corrosion fluid into the coatings.
