Summary: The parametric study identified specific conditions that lead to corrosion of mild steel in marginally sour environments, including temperature, H2S pH, solution pH, and sodium chloride concentration. Transmission electron microscopy revealed a porous layer containing mackinawite and magnetite, with corrosion initiating when the mackinawite layer broke down and exposing the steel surface to corrosive substances, leading to propagation of corrosion due to galvanic coupling.

Summary: This study investigated the microbiologically influenced corrosion of metals exposed to marine tidal zone, specifically the corrosion of EH40 steel affected by Halomonas titanicae under alternate and full immersion. The transition from full immersion to alternate pattern was found to accelerate corrosion in abiotic media, but enhanced the corrosion inhibition efficiency of H. titanicae towards steel. These differences were attributed to thin electrolyte layers, increased number of sessile cells, and their possibly enhanced aerobic respiration activity during alternate immersion.

Summary: A multifactorial experimental research on erosion-corrosion behavior of liquid-solid swirling flow in pipeline was conducted, revealing the significant effects of velocity, sand size, and sand concentration on the erosion-corrosion rate. Under the swirling flow condition, cutting and corrosion pits were found to be the primary forms of surface damage. The net effect of swirling flow on erosion-corrosion varied with sand size. Analysis of the corrosion product showed the presence of Fe2O3 and CaCO3 under both swirling and non-swirling flow conditions. Compared to non-swirling flow, the oxygen content on the electrode surface increased by 42.42% and 35.06% under swirling flow condition.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of Cr-optimization on the corrosion and erosion-corrosion behaviors of Hadfield steel with 1.1 wt% C-13 wt% Mn in a neutral aqueous environment.

Summary: The effect of sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) on galvanic corrosion between 2205 SS and X52 carbon steel in enriched artificial seawater was comprehensively investigated. This study is significant for understanding microbiologically influenced corrosion of bimetallic composite pipelines. Electrochemical tests revealed that galvanic effect was higher in the SRB-containing medium compared to the sterile medium. The coupling also accelerated the corrosion of 2205 SS, resulting in a 13-fold increase in weight loss.

Summary: Characterising the corrosion behaviour of pipeline steels in impurity-containing dense phase CO2 is crucial for cost-effective carbon capture and storage projects. Experimental studies have been conducted to predict and control corrosion using various testing methods. However, the reliability and reproducibility of published literature on corrosion rates are lacking due to challenges in controlling test parameters, highlighting the urgent need for a standard test method.

Summary: This study investigates the erosion-corrosion behavior of Q235B steel in liquid-solid two-phase flows. The weight loss rate, surface morphology, and electrochemical parameters of Q235B steel at different temperatures and flow velocities were studied. The results show that the weight loss rate of Q235B steel increases with increasing flow velocity and temperature. Furthermore, the corrosion rates of specimens increase with increasing flow velocity. The surface morphology analysis reveals that circular pits with clear edges are randomly distributed at low flow velocity, while the pit edge becomes vague at high flow velocity. The aggregation of pits on the specimen surface becomes more severe with increasing temperature. The working mechanism of erosion-corrosion varies with flow velocity and temperature.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of microstructure refinement on the hardness and corrosion resistance behavior of Al-7Si alloys. The as-cast alloy had a coarse dendritic structure, which transformed into a globular alpha-Al phase after cooling slope and thixoforming. The T6 heat treatment process further enhanced the hardness by refining the Si particles and reduced the corrosion rate in the heat-treated samples due to the smaller cathodic to anodic area ratio.

Summary: The inhibition effects of date palm seed extract on mild steel corrosion in 0.5 M HCl were studied using potentiodynamic polarisation (PDP), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and weight loss tests. The extract exhibited high inhibition efficiency, with maximum values of 95%, 96%, and 91% for PDP, EIS, and weight loss, respectively. SEM and FTIR analyses supported the inhibitive action of the extract, and DFT calculations showed the formation of coordinate bonds between the extract and the metal surface, resulting in high inhibition efficiency.

Summary: This study compares the fatigue behavior of bcc Nb-48 wt%Ti (Ti-36at%Nb) alloy parts processed by Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) using two different types of powders (spherical powder produced by Plasma Atomization and irregularly shaped powder produced by Hydride-Dehydride). The results show that the fatigue behavior is similar for both powders, but the specimens produced from the Hydride-Dehydride powder have higher dispersed results. Fracture primarily occurs in the porosities near the machined sample surface, and the fatigue cracks propagate in a zigzag mode parallel to the L-PBF building direction.

Summary: During a major overhaul of an aeroengine, a cracked stator vane of the low-pressure compressor was discovered, with the crack originating from a corrosion pit located on the arc transition between the leading edge and the upper edge plate. The fracture surface exhibited signs of fatigue cracks, indicating a pit-related fatigue crack. Metallographic examination revealed that most corrosion pits were distributed beneath the bulging or peeling paint layer on the leading edge and the concave side. Identification of the corrosion products showed the presence of sulfate and alumina, suggesting atmospheric corrosion as a likely cause for the cracked stator vane.

Summary: Tube-to-tube impact wear is a significant factor in the failure of alloy 690 tubes in nuclear steam generators. This paper investigates the wear damage mechanism and detection method of alloy 690 tubes under tube-to-tube impact loads. The results reveal the wear damage mechanism through analysis of macro and micro morphologies as well as metallographic structures. A nonlinear ultrasonic wave mixing method is proposed for damage detection and a detection device is developed to implement this method. Experimental results indicate that the damage mode of tube-to-tube impact wear varies with impact load and cycle number, and the nonlinear modulation index is effective in assessing the damage degree of alloy 690 tubes.

The results show that the derailment is caused by the combined effect of various factors, and reducing the longitudinal coupler force and the wheel rail friction coefficient can decrease the possibility of derailment. Additionally, installing a guard rail in front of the turnout can effectively prevent derailment.
