The corrosion system consists of a metallic solid phase immersed in an electrolyte, initially protected by a passive film. The model captures the breakdown of this film, leading to localized pitting corrosion, which subsequently evolves into stress corrosion cracking under the influence of mechanical stress. We employ the Allen-Cahn equation to describe the evolution of the non-conserved phase field variable, representing the metal-electrolyte interface, and the Cahn-Hilliard equation to account for the concentration field dynamics, ensuring volume conservation. The mechanical behavior of the anisotropic material is modeled using crystal plasticity, which accounts for the elastic and plastic deformation of the material, with the degradation due to corrosion incorporated into the stress–strain relationship. We analyze the transition from pitting to cracking in single crystalline, bi-crystalline, and polycrystalline structures. The results demonstrate the capability of the model to capture the complex interactions between electrochemical corrosion and mechanical deformation, providing insights into the pit-to-crack transition in anisotropic materials.

The results were simultaneously analyzed using post-processing and other visualization methods to explore the disparity in deformation mechanisms between uniaxial and biaxial loading scenarios. The uniaxial tensile mechanical response of CP-Ti and Ti64 alloy were well captured using crystal plasticity modeling compared to experimental results, demonstrating both the reliability of the established model and constitutive parameters used. A strengthening effect under biaxial loading occurred owing to unique structural characteristics and mechanical constraints associated with tensile direction of hexagonal crystal structure.

Studies have shown that doping ZnS with transition metals can modify its band gap edge and alter its optical properties. Despite this, there are few comprehensive studies that have systematically explore the potential of doped ZnS (1100) surface for Photo-electrochemical (PEC) applications. In this work, the effects of selected transition metal (TM) dopants (Mn, Cu, Co and Fe) on the optoelectronic properties of ZnS (1100) surface using density functional theory approach has been explored. The results showed that the stability of TM dopants in ZnS (1100) surface is dependent on the <em>d</em> character of the TM dopant as well as their concentration and doping site. Further, it was noted that Zn-rich synthesis conditions were favorable for introduction of TM dopants compared to S-rich conditions. Notably, among the dopants studied, Cu exhibited the highest stability, whereas Co, Mn and Fe displayed decreasing levels of stability. Mn and Fe (for dopant concentration between 1–6%) induces reduction of band-gap energy by 15–60% and 19–51%, respectively, while Cu and Co dopants of similar concentrations induced a more dramatic reduction of band gap energy between 37–78% and 26–75%, respectively.
