Summary: The addition of Ti in a model ferritic stainless steel during Laser Powder Bed Fusion contributes to significant strengthening through grain refinement, resulting in a texture-free microstructure with equiaxed grains. The ternary alloy shows more than double the 0.2% proof strength compared to the binary alloy, along with an increased work hardening rate. While the elongation at fracture is reduced, the samples still exhibit ductile fracture surfaces. Grain refinement plays a key role in strengthening, complemented by solid solution strengthening and texture effects.

Summary: In this study, a dissolution heat treatment was applied to restore the plasticity of embrittled superferritic stainless steel caused by the precipitation of sigma-phase, chi-phase, and Laves phase. The dissolution behavior of the brittle precipitation phases, as well as their effects on the mechanical properties, were investigated. It was observed that the plasticity of the tested steels was recovered after dissolution treatment, and the fracture mode changed from brittle to toughness.

Summary: This paper compares the tensile and high cycle fatigue properties of three 439 stainless steels from different suppliers, and evaluates their properties at different temperatures. The results show that although the tensile properties of the steels are similar, their fatigue properties differ, with fatigue strength inversely related to crack resistance. The decline in fatigue strength of ferritic stainless steel is influenced by carbide precipitation, solute atom diffusion, and weakening of the ferrite grain boundary at high temperatures. The fatigue strength can be quantitatively predicted based on the cleavage surface in the fatigue crack source.

Summary: This study evaluates the tribological and corrosion behavior of nano-structured CrN/CrAlN and CrCN/CrAlCN coatings applied on 430 stainless steel. The coatings were characterized using X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, and nano-indentation techniques. The adhesion of the coatings to the substrate was also evaluated. The results showed that CrCN/CrAlCN exhibited the lowest friction coefficient and better resistance against corrosion compared to the CrN/CrAlN coating, which can be attributed to its higher hardness, denser structure, lower surface roughness, and low wettability.

Summary: This study investigated the tribological and corrosion performances of as-deposited and annealed CrN/CrAlN multilayer coatings on 304 stainless steel substrates deposited by cathodic arc evaporation process. The results showed that annealing led to the decomposition of CrN into Cr2N. Additionally, the surface roughness and wettability of the annealed samples increased as the annealing temperature increased. The hardness decreased due to the increase in crystallite size. The sample annealed at 400 degrees C exhibited the lowest wear rate and the specimen annealed at 700 degrees C showed the highest corrosion resistance.

Summary: This work investigated the influence of sealing treatment on the structural and electrochemical properties of AZ31 Mg alloy coated by plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO). The results showed that sealing in hot solutions triggered hydration reactions and promoted the incorporation of Co3O4 into the coating. In contrast, sealing in cold solutions resulted in less compact coatings. A nearly fully sealed coating with high electrochemical stability was successfully formed in the hot solution containing 1 gr of cobalt nitrate hexahydrate.

Summary: This study investigates the effect of iron nitrate on the corrosion behavior of a 6061 Al alloy treated with a plasma electrolytic oxidation coating. PEO coatings were applied on Al alloy samples using an alkaline-aluminate electrolyte with and without iron nitrate. The presence of iron nitrate resulted in the integration of Fe2O3 particles into the coating layer and reduced the porosity and size of micropores formed during plasma activity. As a result, the coating formed in the electrolyte with iron nitrate exhibited superior corrosion resistance compared to the one without iron nitrate.

Summary: This study investigates the effect of incorporating anatase TiO2 nanoparticles at three different concentrations into ceramic-like oxide plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) coatings on pure titanium substrate on their friction and wear behavior in simulated body fluid (SBF) aqueous solution. The wear performance of the coatings was characterized using a ball-on-disk friction and wear tester, and the morphology and dimensions of wear tracks were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and 2D depth profilometry. The results showed that the concentration of TiO2 nanoparticles strongly influenced the coefficient of friction, wear volume loss, and wear rate of the coatings, with coatings containing TiO2 nanoparticles exhibiting lower COF, less wear volume loss, reduced wear rate, and improved wear resistance compared to coatings without TiO2 nanoparticles. The coating with 3 g/L of TiO2 nanoparticles demonstrated the best wear protection properties among all the coatings tested.

Summary: WO3 nanoparticles were grown hydrothermally on porous titania (TiO2) PEO-coated on Ti in an alkaline electrolyte using pulsed direct current mode. The hydrothermal parameters including precursor concentration, temperature, and time were optimized to achieve the best photodegradation of methylene blue mediated by the PEO/HT hybrid coatings under visible illumination. The improvement in photocatalytic performance was attributed to the participation of more WO3 nanoparticles and the expansion of the light absorption range of TiO2 up to the visible light range.
