Abstract
The impact of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) on the corrosion behavior and mechanism of Zn-Al-Al2O3 composite coating has been studied in artificial seawater solutions. The Zn-Al-Al2O3 composite coating immersed in sterile artificial seawater solution is also tested for comparison. The Zn-Al-Al2O3 composite coating exhibits excellent corrosion resistance and the Zn phase as sacrificing cathodic is corroded first due to its more negative corrosion potential. Surface oxides including ZnO and Al2O3 play a significant role in initial-stage corrosion protection. The Icorr value increased from 4.623 μA/cm2 to 8.428 μA/cm2, indicating that the presence of SRB affects corrosion products, corrosion rate and corrosion behavior. The corrosion mechanism of the Zn-Al-Al2O3 composite coating in SRB-containing artificial seawater solution is deduced by a detailed analysis of scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XRD) and electrochemistry.
期刊介绍:
Vacuum is an international rapid publications journal with a focus on short communication. All papers are peer-reviewed, with the review process for short communication geared towards very fast turnaround times. The journal also published full research papers, thematic issues and selected papers from leading conferences.
A report in Vacuum should represent a major advance in an area that involves a controlled environment at pressures of one atmosphere or below.
The scope of the journal includes:
1. Vacuum; original developments in vacuum pumping and instrumentation, vacuum measurement, vacuum gas dynamics, gas-surface interactions, surface treatment for UHV applications and low outgassing, vacuum melting, sintering, and vacuum metrology. Technology and solutions for large-scale facilities (e.g., particle accelerators and fusion devices). New instrumentation ( e.g., detectors and electron microscopes).
2. Plasma science; advances in PVD, CVD, plasma-assisted CVD, ion sources, deposition processes and analysis.
3. Surface science; surface engineering, surface chemistry, surface analysis, crystal growth, ion-surface interactions and etching, nanometer-scale processing, surface modification.
4. Materials science; novel functional or structural materials. Metals, ceramics, and polymers. Experiments, simulations, and modelling for understanding structure-property relationships. Thin films and coatings. Nanostructures and ion implantation.
