Summary: In this study, the oxide layer of technical 6xxx aluminum surfaces was investigated using various techniques including transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Auger electron and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (AES, XPS), confocal microscopy, and focused ion beam cutting. The strengths and weaknesses of each measurement technique were analyzed. TEM provided a direct and reliable way to quantify the thickness of the oxide layer, but only in a restricted area. AES was not suitable for thickness determination due to its destructive nature, while XPS was proven to be the most reliable method. By evaluating angle resolved XPS data, additional information on the depth distribution of elements on the surface could be obtained. The findings from this study were successfully applied to investigate the increase in aluminum oxide thickness on technical samples during a 12-month aging test under standard storage conditions.

Summary: This work explores the correlation between electrolyte transport properties and the variation of pigment volume concentration (PVC) in organic coatings. An odd random phase electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (ORP-EIS) approach is used to analyze the diffusion of ions independent from water uptake. The results show that a higher PVC leads to a more homogeneous coating structure, resulting in faster diffusion of ions and enhanced water uptake.

Summary: Previous studies have demonstrated the complexing properties of 2-(azulen-1-yldiazenyl)-5-phenyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole (T) towards heavy metals (HMs) in solution. T can also be attached to electrode surfaces to form chemically modified electrodes (T-CMEs). The films of T-CMEs exhibited insulating properties with a thickness of approximately 10 μm, an active surface area about 6 times larger than the geometrical one, and a conductivity of about 10(-6) S/cm. Voltammetric techniques revealed the reversible anodic and cathodic redox CV peaks for the polymer, while spectroelectrochemistry showed intensified charge transport through polarons due to the anodic polarization of the film.

Summary: In this research, black pine essential oil was utilized as a natural, ecological, and sustainable corrosion inhibitor for acid cleaning of carbon steel for the first time. The oil was extracted through hydrodistillation and analyzed using gas chromatography-flame-ionization detection (GC-FID) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The major components found in the oil were alpha-pinene, germacrene D, (E)-caryophyllene, and beta-pinene. Electrochemical methods were employed to determine the inhibition efficiency. The results showed that the inhibitory efficiency of black pine essential oil increased over time, with the highest values observed after 4 hours of immersion for all inhibitor concentrations. It was also demonstrated that the oil acted as a mixed-type inhibitor and effectively protected carbon steel from corrosion in a 1 M HCl solution.

Summary: This study examined the correlation between the degree of sensitization (DOS) and intergranular corrosion (IGC) and the electrical conductivity level in welded and non-welded AISI 304 stainless steel. The results showed a linear relationship between electrical conductivity and DOS for DOS values above 0.5%, while lower DOS values had a higher deviation from linearity. The presence of Cr-depleted areas near grain boundaries and the reduction of carbon content in the austenite lattice were found to increase the electrical conductivity of the steel.

Summary: A novel two-compartment model for drug release was proposed, using general fractional derivatives of a specific type and distributed order. Earlier models in pharmacokinetics with fractional derivatives are special cases of the proposed model. The model was applied to study the release of gentamicin from different hydrogels and coatings, and showed good agreement with experimental data. The form of the general fractional derivatives used in the model improves the approximation of experimental data with a slightly more complex numerical procedure.

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.

Summary: The oxidation behavior of FeCrNi medium entropy alloy was investigated through experimental observations and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The study found that at 900 degrees C, the alloy forms a desirable and continuous oxide layer, while at 1000 degrees C, the oxide layer becomes discontinuous with penetration of oxide. These observations highlight the significant role of phase structure in promoting the formation of protective oxide scales and influencing oxidation resistance.

Summary: This study presents a new approach to studying the mechanism of filiform corrosion in organic coated steel using the scanning vibrating electrode technique (SVET) and micropotentiometry (potentiometric SECM). 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.

Summary: The relationship between configurational entropy and lattice distortion in novel rare earth monosilicates was investigated, and the effect of configurational entropy on their properties was studied. The results showed that lattice distortion increased with the increase of configurational entropy, but a highly symmetrical crystal structure was formed when the configurational entropy was large enough, inhibiting the lattice distortion.
