Al–Zn–In–Mg–Ti–Ga–Mn anode degradation mainly occurs via uniform corrosion accompanied with minor pitting and intergranular corrosion in the South China Sea at a depth of 1,420 m, whereas the Al–Zn–In–Si anode is subject to extensive intergranular corrosion. Two types of active anodes are chosen and the protection current density for E355DD is about 120 mA/m² in the deep sea.

The exfoliation and intergranular corrosion (IGC) resistance of the 2198 Al–Cu–Li alloy with different thermomechanical treatments were investigated. Higher pH values were related to artificially aged alloys in the EXCO solution. Interestingly, a relation between weight loss and pH was established in this solution. Information about the corrosion attack depth in the IGC solution was discussed. This information has great importance for the aeronautical industry.

The atmospheric corrosion behavior and corrosion mechanism of 7A09 alloy exposed to an industrial environment have been studied. This alloy suffers pitting and intergranular corrosion (IGC) and shows a decreasing tendency of corrosion rate. The occurrence of IGC is mainly due to the preferential dissolution of grain boundary precipitates Mg(ZnAlCu)₂ and the precipitate-free zone along grain boundaries.

After the face-milling trials and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements, the superiority in the corrosion resistance of the milled surface of Al–Li alloy 2A97 with the optimized surface roughness is found.

Mg–xZn–Zr alloys designed by regulating Zn contents have been fabricated with extrusion casting. Compressive strengths and electrochemical tests have been investigated to characterize their feasibility as decomposition materials. Results show that as-prepared materials not only guarantee fast dissolution of fracturing balls after oil exploitation but also ensures compressive strength stability in decomposition.

The electrochemical corrosion properties of flame-sprayed Al and Al/(5, 10, 15)% Ti₃SiC₂ coatings in a 3.5% NaCl solution were investigated. The results revealed that Al/Ti₃SiC₂ coating is nobler than the pure aluminum coating and that the presence of Ti₃SiC₂ particles significantly enhances the corrosion resistance of the coatings.

Stearic acid (STA)-based one-pot hydrothermal treatment provides an eco-friendly and cost-effective method for construction of superhydrophobic surface. The prepared superhydrophobic surface exhibits superior water repellency, self-cleaning, and corrosion-resisting properties, which broadens the multifunctional applications.

The effect of fluoride on the electrochemical corrosion behavior of an LDX 2101 duplex stainless steel was studied. Open-circuit potential (E_OC) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements were carried out in artificial saliva and with the addition of fluoride (1 wt% NaF). LDX 2101 exhibits superior corrosion resistance as compared to AISI 316L.

This paper proposes a method for predicting the creep rupture life of superheater tubes, considering the continuous increasing metal temperature and stress as a result of oxide formation. The steam-side oxide growth was assessed by the parabolic oxidation rate law, and the temperature profiles of superheater tubes was calculated combining the 3D computational fluid dynamics simulation and the 1D analytical models.

The cathodic potential of −1,050 mV/SCE has an obvious inhibitory effect on sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB)-induced pitting corrosion. When the potential of −1,050 mV/SCE is applied, the number of SRB cells attached to the electrode surface decreases significantly. The impressed charges, the increase of pH, and the formation of calcareous deposits on the electrode surface are the driving forces to inhibit the attachment of SRB.

This study has furnished a galvanized steel corrosion map for Karachi city, an important coastal city of the 21st-century modern maritime silk route and a key part of China–Pakistan Economic Corridor, by employing ASTM and ISO standards that complement spectroscopic techniques.

The effect of methoxy, methyl, and chloride substituents on the inhibitive performance of three 1,5-benzodiazepine derivatives as corrosion inhibitors was investigated. The best inhibition performance of the derivative with methoxy substituent is due to the presence of the –OCH₃ as a stronger electron-donating group, compared with the other two derivatives with –CH₃ and –Cl.
