Summary: Single-layer and multilayer alloy deposits were electroplated onto a mild steel substrate, consisting of Zn and Fe alloys with different compositions. The corrosion resistance of these deposits was evaluated using potentiodynamic polarization method, while their surface morphology, crystal structure, and Fe content were characterized using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, colorimetry, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, respectively. The microhardness of the coatings was measured using a Vickers indenter. It was found that the Zn-Fe multilayer coatings showed significantly improved corrosion resistance compared to the single-layer coating, making them crucial for the automotive industry and steel-based vehicle parts.

Summary: An artful strategy to protect concrete structures from cracking, flaking, and corrosion is to make them non-wettable. However, many hydrophobic modifiers are incompatible with cement, hindering its hydration and possessing weak alkali resistance and environmental toxicity, which limits the applicability of water-repellent chemicals in building materials. In this research, we propose an innovative solution by drop-casting a silicone-turpentine blend and depositing rapeseed oil soot on pre-cured concrete to convert the surface into superhydrophobic. The as-prepared silicone-soot composite inhibits water absorption and corrosive ions, thermally insulates the concrete, and withstands mechanical wear, providing opportunities for facile synthesis of durable superhydrophobic concrete on a large scale to aid industrial facility construction.

Summary: This study investigates the degradation mechanism of superhydrophobic coatings (SHPs) and identifies both static salt spray and dynamic abrasion as degradation mechanisms. Under static salt spray, chemical or photo-oxidation of coatings leads to increased hydrophilicity of SHPs, while dynamic abrasion can polish away the micro-nano structures, causing loss of non-wettability. Therefore, it is necessary to protect the micro-nano structures in order to maintain a reliable superhydrophobic surface.

Summary: The electroless plating and electrodeposition process was used to prepare a Ni-Cu-P bilayer composite film with hydrophobic properties on the Ni-P film. The introduction of Cu inhibits the growth of cellular structures, increases nucleation points, and improves the microstructure of the Ni-Cu-P films. The Ni-P/Ni-Cu-P bilayer composite film has a pinecone-like convex structure, reduces surface energy, exhibits hydrophobicity, and effectively resists external impurities and fouling, improving corrosion resistance.

Summary: Two different superhydrophobic surfaces, the sheet-like structure and the cluster-like structure, were fabricated on copper substrates to study their microstructure and droplet jumping behavior, resulting in the formulation of a droplet jumping phase map. The sheet-like structure surface, with lower solid/liquid contact area and interfacial adhesion, showed more favorable droplet jumping behavior. Experimental results demonstrated the superior anti-corrosion performance of the sheet-like structure surface due to droplet jumping-induced wetting transition, offering design guidelines for applications in atmospheric corrosion protection.

Summary: The shedding kinematics of water droplets in a condensation environment exposed to aerodynamic forces in microgravity were investigated. The study found that the critical velocity for droplet shedding in microgravity was 8% lower than that in normal gravity. Additionally, the shedding velocity was lower in microgravity and decreased with increasing droplet size. Increasing the hydrophobicity of the surface coating reduced the critical velocity for shedding. The detachment of droplets from superhydrophobic surfaces in microgravity hindered the condensation process and countered the concept of moisture removal in a dehumidification process.

Summary: The corrosion behavior of Fe-60 and Fe-83 ribbons in 0.6 M NaCl was studied. Fe-60 exhibited a local corrosion mode and formed a stable passivation film with higher corrosion resistance, while Fe-83 showed a combination of local and global corrosion modes and had lower corrosion resistance. Controlling the precipitation of nanocrystalline phases and increasing the POx content in the passivation film significantly improved the corrosion resistance of Fe-based glassy alloys.
