Summary: The microstructure, corrosion behavior, and cytocompatibility of as-cast and extruded Mg-Zn-Mn-(0, 1.5)Sr alloys in Hank's solution were investigated. Extrusion resulted in grain refinement and preferred texture, while distinct features of Sr-free and Sr-containing alloys included an increase in dislocation density and fragmentation of Mg17Sr2, respectively. Extrusion significantly accelerated the corrosion rate of Sr-free alloy, while alloyed Sr eliminated this deterioration process. Sr alloying decreased the corrosion rate and enhanced the cytocompatibility of the extruded Mg-Zn-Mn alloy without affecting the corrosion penetration depth, demonstrating the superiority of Sr alloying for extruded magnesium alloys as implant materials.

Summary: The effect of trace Ce addition on the microstructure evolution and corrosion behavior of dilute Mg-0.6Al-0.5Mn-0.25Ca alloys has been investigated. The addition of Ce resulted in the formation of less noble Al8Mn4Ce and Al11Ce3 phases. Notably, the alloy containing 0.3 wt% Ce exhibited the lowest corrosion rate, attributed to factors such as the low potential difference, compact composite oxide film, and enrichment of Fe.

Summary: The effect of Al on microstructure and corrosion behavior of cast Mg-2Zn-xAl-0.5Ca (x = 0, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 wt%) alloys is investigated. The addition of 0.5 wt% Al leads to the lowest corrosion rate of 4 mm/y. This is attributed to the decreased cathodic activity of Ca2Mg6Zn3 phase due to Al doping and the refined intermetallics resulting from Al alloying, which reduce pitting corrosion. Additionally, the finer grains enhance the barrier effect at grain boundaries, effectively confining corrosion propagation. The formation of Al2O3 reinforces the surface film. The optimum Al content is determined to be 0.5-1.0%, which provides the alloy with admirable corrosion resistance and high ultimate tensile strength.

Summary: The synergistic effect of Zr addition and grain refinement on the corrosion resistance and pitting corrosion behavior of Ti-Zr-based alloys was evaluated. It was found that Zr addition increases pitting sensitivity while grain refinement improves the stability of the passivation film. In alloys with low Zr content, grain refinement inhibits corrosion pits inside the grains, while in alloys with high Zr content, grain refinement induces small corrosion pits.

Summary: The study investigated the effects of Al content and annealing condition on the microstructures and corrosion performances of Mg-3 wt.%Cu-x Al alloys. Al-bearing alloys exhibit MgAlCu and Mg17Al12 phases with higher Volta potential, and the volume fractions of Cu-bearing phases are influenced by Al content and annealing condition. The corrosion performances of alloys can be controlled by adjusting Al content and annealing conditions, as indicated by the relationship between weight loss rate and Cu-bearing phase volume fractions.

Summary: The effects of different surface conditions, namely carbonaceous residue, copper chloride, and deposit, were quantitatively evaluated for their impact on localized corrosion. Electrochemical analysis and corrosion simulation showed that all three surface conditions induced localized corrosion on copper, with the pitting factor increasing in the order of deposits, copper chloride, and carbonaceous residue.

Summary: The wear resistance of an Mg-Zn-Y-Zr alloy was significantly improved after a heat treatment, regardless of the testing condition (air or NaCl solution). The dominant wear mechanism was abrasive wear accompanied by oxidation in dry sliding, while corrosive wear was dominant in the NaCl solution. The heat treatment resulted in the homogeneous distribution of fine I-phase precipitates, which enhanced the corrosive wear resistance and reduced wear, corrosion, and wear-corrosion synergy.

Summary: The traditional aqueous electrolyte used for studying soil-related corrosion in laboratories does not accurately represent the physical features of soil. This article introduces a semi-solid agar system that can replicate the structure of soil for corrosion study. The results show that the agar system has similar oxygen diffusion characteristics to soil, weakening the cathodic activity of steel specimens and leading to different corrosion characteristics compared to aqueous electrolytes. The solid nature of agar outperforms aqueous electrolytes in simulating soil-related corrosion responses at the laboratory scale.

Summary: This work develops a synergistic inhibiting strategy using two distinct aromatic heterocyclic ring systems to protect electro-galvanised steel against aqueous corrosion. The formulated mixture shows an enhanced inhibitory efficiency of 96% after 7-day immersion in a NaCl solution. Surface and electrolyte chemistry analysis reveals a two-step process in the growth of the protective layer, reflecting the sequential responses of each inhibitor's mode-of-action. This synergistic inhibition formulation offers potential to modify corroded ZE surfaces.

Summary: The role of beach and peninsula partially mixed zones (PMZs) in sulfide stress corrosion cracking (SSCC) behavior of the fusion boundary (FB) region in Inconel 625/X80 weld overlay was investigated. The large misorientation and low deformation compatibility of the austenite-martensite boundary promote hydrogen accumulation and increase cracking susceptibility. Moreover, local anodic dissolution and hydrogen accumulation due to the large dimension PMZ can easily transform corrosion defects into cracks. After SSCC initiation, the crack mainly propagates along the Inconel 625/PMZ interface and the austenite matrix.

Summary: High porosity Co-Al-Fe intermetallics with 3D-microstructures were successfully synthesized in one step via a thermal explosion reaction. The link between pore structure and permeability was investigated using 3D-XRM technology. The corrosion resistance of the samples with different Fe contents was studied at 900 degrees C under an oxygen/sulphur atmosphere for up to 120 h. The results showed that the samples maintained stable pore structure and intact internal matrices, attributed to the formation of a thin protective layer on the surface. In addition, inward diffusion of S resulted in the formation of FeS nodules.

Summary: In this study, an environmentally friendly volatile corrosion inhibitor, lysine salts (LA), was prepared between graphene oxide (GO) layers using an in situ intercalation technique. The corrosion inhibition effect of LA was evaluated, and it was found that LA-GO2 achieved a 99.3% corrosion inhibition efficiency after composition optimization. The inhibition of the electrochemical anodic process on the surface of mild steel was the main reason for the high corrosion inhibition efficiency of LA-GO2. The properties of the surface film on the corroded steel were also characterized in detail to understand the corrosion inhibition mechanism of LA-GO2.

The electrochemical activity under the coating was evaluated by mapping the ionic current densities coming from artificial defects made in specific locations of the filament. Antimony tips were also used to investigate the pH changes associated with different corrosion reactions at the metal-paint interface. Local pH levels along the filament in the anodic and cathodic regions were determined.
