Corrosion Behaviour of Zn-10Al-1.5Cu Alloy

Corrosion Behaviour of NIMONIC-90 Alloy

Investigations were conducted on hot corrosion of Nickel base, NIMONIC-90 at 675°C and 725°C. The tests were carried out on small test coupons coated with a chemical containing Sodium sulphate and Sodium Vanadate which is representative of the corrosive deposit that usually forms during service in the coal fired boiler and the likes operating in marine atmospheres. Corrosion rates were measured...

CORROSION BEHAVIOUR OF Al-Li-Cu-Mg ALLOY 8090-T651

INFLUENCE OF LASER SURFACE HARDENING ON CORROSION PROPERTIES OF Al-Zn-Si CAST ALLOY

E. Tillová, L. Kuchariková, M. Chalupová, J. Belan, A. Vaško, I. Švecová, University of Žilina, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Slovak Republic This work is focused on the effect of the laser surface treatment (laser power 50 and 80 W) on microstructure and corrosion properties of self-hardened AlZn10Si8Mg cast alloy used for engine and vehicle constructions. The electrochemical impedance sp...

Effect of Hydroxyapatite on the Mechanical Properties and Corrosion Behavior of Mg-Zn-Y Alloy

Mg-Zn-Y alloys with a long period stacking ordered (LPSO) phase are potential candidates for biodegradable implants; however, an unfavorable degradation rate has limited their applications. Hydroxyapatite (HA) has been shown to enhance the corrosion resistance of Mg alloys. In this study, Mg97Zn₁Y₂-0.5 wt% HA composite was synthesized and solution treated at 500 °C for 10 h. The corrosion behav...

Correlation between Zn-Rich Phase and Corrosion/Oxidation Behavior of Sn–8Zn–3Bi Alloy

The microstructure of Sn–8Zn–3Bi alloy was refined by increasing the solidification rate and the correlation between Zn-rich phase and the corrosion/oxidation behavior of the alloy was investigated. The Zn-rich phase transforms from coarse flakes to fine needles dispersed in the β-Sn matrix with the increase of the cooling rate. The transformation of Zn-rich precipitates enhances the anticorros...
