Summary: Carbon steel is widely used in various industries, and its corrosion is a major concern. Carbon dots (CDs), especially heteroatom-doped CDs, have been developed as green corrosion inhibitors. A study compared the corrosion inhibition efficiency and mechanisms of nitrogen-doped and nitrogen, sulfur codoped CDs. The results showed that both types of CDs can effectively restrain the corrosion of carbon steel, with the codoped CDs exhibiting higher inhibition performance. Molecular dynamics simulation revealed the strong interaction between the codoped CDs and the carbon steel substrate, which contributes to the superior corrosion inhibition.

Summary: In this study, Oregano (Origanum vulgare) leaf essential oil was investigated as an environmentally friendly corrosion inhibitor for carbon steel in hydrochloric acid. The corrosion inhibition mechanism was studied through surface morphology analysis, electrochemical tests, weight loss measurements, theoretical calculations, and computational methods. The results showed that O. vulgare had the highest inhibition performance of 85.64% at a concentration of 2 g/l in 1 M HCl. The adsorption of the O. vulgare inhibitor on the metal surface was attributed to the formation of rigid covalent bonds, and the hydroxyl functional groups and benzoyl rings were found to be the main contributors to the high inhibition efficiency.

Summary: The fatigue lifetime of two retired API 5L X52 steels was investigated. Both steels showed microstructural degradation due to natural aging, including pearlite fragmentation, fine precipitate particles, and spheroidized cementite at the grain boundaries. While the tensile strength and hardness properties remained within design specifications, the steel with the highest microstructural degradation exhibited lower ductility. Fatigue characterization showed a 77% decrease in fatigue life in the most degraded steel. These results highlight the importance of considering the natural aging effect in the fatigue life of long-term exposure low carbon steels.

Summary: This study investigated the phase transformations of 5Cr-0.5Mo.0.1C steel after heat treatment through experimental and numerical analysis. The results showed that tempering promoted the precipitation of carbides, while aging resulted in the dominance of M23C6. The decrease in steel hardness was attributed to bainite transformation and the diffusion-controlled coarsening of M23C6 carbide.

Summary: This paper presents the fracture mechanics analysis of hexagonal head clamping screws of a diaphragm differential manometer located at the oil discharge head of an offshore facility. The failure mechanism was identified as chlorine stress corrosion cracking (CLSCC) in a marine -industrial environment containing chloride chemical species. The cause of failure was identified as overtightening up to 1.55 times above the nominal clamp-loads during the installation of the failed screws, while the partially failed screws were tightened closer to the nominal values. Data on the fracture toughness and CLSCC growth-rate of type 304 stainless-steel in the marine -industrial environment were obtained by applying fracture mechanics and fractographic examination. The kinetics data indicates that most of the crack growth time is spent in the Stage I of SCC, so the kinetics equation for this can be used to make conservative estimations of the remaining life if a reasonable Stage I crack-size is used.

Summary: The temperature effect on the corrosion inhibition process of API 5L X60 steel in 1 M H2SO4 was studied using three vinylimidazolium poly(ionic liquid)s (PILs) by electrochemical techniques, surface analysis, and computational simulation. The maximal inhibition efficiency (75%) was achieved by Poly[VIMC4][Im] at 308 K and 175 ppm. PILs exhibited E-corr displacements indicating mixed-type corrosion inhibitors (CIs). The presence of PILs resulted in less surface damage, confirming their inhibiting effect.

Summary: In this study, 15 ionic liquids (ILs) derived from quaternary ammonium and carboxylates were synthesized and characterized. Their evaluation as corrosion inhibitors (CIs) for API X52 steel in 0.5 M HCl was conducted. Potentiodynamic tests showed that the inhibition efficiency (IE) varied with the chemical configuration of the anion and cation. The ILs were found to be mixed-type CIs and the IE was directly proportional to the CI concentration. Surface analysis by scanning electron microscopy confirmed the reduced steel damage in the presence of CI due to the inhibitor-metal interaction.

Summary: Different configurations of artificial neural networks (ANNs) were analyzed to predict the experimental diameter of nanofibers produced by electrospinning. The ANN with three hidden layers and variables including flow rate, voltage, viscosity, and conductivity achieved the best prediction results, with a calculation error of 3.79%. The correlation coefficient (R2) increased with the number of hidden layers, but ANNs with more than three hidden layers did not improve the prediction of nanofiber diameter.
