The full mechanism still needs clarification and research often focuses on laboratory work. As such, there is interest in causal discovery to confirm the significance of factors and identify potential missing causal relationships or codependencies between these factors. The causal discovery algorithm fast causal inference (FCI) has been trialled on a small set of laboratory data, with the outputs evaluated for their significance to corrosion propagation, and compared to existing mechanistic understanding. FCI identified salt deposition flux as the most influential corrosion variable for this limited data set. However, HCl was the second most influential for pitting regions, compared to temperature for more uniformly corroding regions. Thus, FCI generated causal links aligned with literature from a randomised corrosion data set, while also identifying the presence of two different degradation modes in operation.","PeriodicalId":18223,"journal":{"name":"Materials and Corrosion","volume":"133 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139842993","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Corrosion probes in health monitoring systems can assess concrete carbonation and steel corrosion rates. The electrochemical noise (EN) technique has advantages for corrosion sensing. Instrumented concrete columns were fitted with a carbonation chamber for accelerated testing. EN was assessed through statistical evaluation of noise time signatures, noise resistance, and spectral analysis. The mean noise potential for the electrodes showed electronegative potential and correspondingly high rms noise current, indicative of corrosion activation in carbonated concrete. The estimated corrosion rates obtained from the noise impedance were comparable to those resolved from the polarization resistance and noise resistance. The shot noise analysis indicated isolated spontaneous noise events associated with the activation of local steel anodes. The outcomes of the testing indicate that the placement of low‐cost sensors and passive EN measurements can be used to monitor the onset of carbonation‐induced corrosion of steel in concrete and provide estimates on corrosion rates.","PeriodicalId":18223,"journal":{"name":"Materials and Corrosion","volume":"37 9-10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139853494","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

CPL was characterized at each step, in terms of morphology (scanning electron microscopy), composition (energy‐dispersive spectroscopy), and structure (µ‐Raman). 13C corrosion product locations were analyzed by time‐of‐flight secondary ion mass spectrometry. Results evidenced that after a step of generalized corrosion, iron corrosion continues locally at the metal/CPL interface. These results suggest that although a protective siderite layer formed on the iron surface after 15 days, a local dissolution of the carbonate layer at the M/CPL interface occurred. A galvanic effect is developed between the bared surface (anode) and the covered one (cathode). This activates iron oxidation. The precipitation of carbonate corrosion products to the metal/CPL interface is possible by the diffusion of 13CO32− ions from the bulk through the siderite layer.","PeriodicalId":18223,"journal":{"name":"Materials and Corrosion","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139860651","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sintered preforms of relative densities of 81%, 84%, and 90% were used for the present work. The preforms with 84% relative density have been used to study the formability parameters. It is observed from the experimental study that the Alloy 2 preforms with the addition of alloying elements have undergone lesser densification and deformation due to the work hardening mechanism. Corrosion studies have been carried out by conducting aqueous immersion and electrochemical corrosion tests on these two alloys using 18% HCl solution at different timings. It is found that the Alloy 2 has exhibited a better corrosion resistance than the Alloy 1 due to the addition of various alloying elements. It is also observed that the corrosion rate has decreased with an increase in densification irrespective of the alloys. The microstructures, scanning electron microscopy, and X‐ray diffraction of corroded surfaces have been corroborated with densification and the corrosion behavior of alloys.","PeriodicalId":18223,"journal":{"name":"Materials and Corrosion","volume":"92 1","pages":"1854 - 1864"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81609494","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Iron borides, one of the metal borides, are called ceramics because they are covalently bonded compounds. Iron boride coatings contain strong Fe–B and B–B covalent bonds. In this study, the effect of boronizing on the corrosion resistance of AISI 1010 steel was investigated. Baybora‐1 which has recently been patented was used as boronizing agent. AISI 1010 steel was borided at 950°C for 2, 4, and 6 h using the solid method. The microstructure, hardness, and corrosion rate of the samples were investigated. The change in the corrosion rate of the samples was determined by the corrosion test specified in the ASTM G31‐72 standard. The results showed that the hardness of the iron boride layer formed on the surface as a result of the boronizing process was greater than that of the matrix. As a result of the boriding process, the hardness of the iron boride layer on the steel surface reached approximately eight times the hardness of the substrate matrix. The thickness of the iron boride layer on the steel sample surface was measured at 950°C for 2 and 6 h, respectively, as 45 ± 12 and 155 ± 13 µm. It was concluded that the boriding process increased the corrosion resistance of steel.","PeriodicalId":18223,"journal":{"name":"Materials and Corrosion","volume":"35 1","pages":"2032 - 2040"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85528670","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The surface morphologies and chemical composition were examined by using a scanning electron microscope with energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy. The results indicated that with the increase of the Cl− ion concentrations, the degradation rate with more pits and cracks was observed in both acidic and neutral media. This is due to the breakdown of Al(OH)3/Al2O3 passive layer. In an alkaline medium, increasing of pH value from pH 8 to pH 12, there was a slight increment in corrosion rate (CR). However, the corrosion trend was not witnessed on alloy surfaces because of the formation of Mg32(Al, Zn)49 and AlCu phases, which are more stable than α‐Al.

With the increase of GO content in the hydrothermal solution, the corrosion resistance of the prepared composite films showed a trend of increasing first and then decreasing. When the content of GO incorporated in the hydrothermal solution is 5 mg, the corrosion current density (icorr) of the composite coating is reduced to the minimum (4.9 μA/cm2), which is seven times lower than that of the substrate and 3.5 times lower than that of the Mg(OH)2 monolayer. Based on experimental and molecular dynamics simulation results, the enhancement mechanism of the composite film was proposed, which is related to the growth of Mg(OH)2 layer, the “tortuous path” effect of GO and the slowing of chloride ion diffusion by GO functional groups.","PeriodicalId":18223,"journal":{"name":"Materials and Corrosion","volume":"83 1","pages":"2053 - 2062"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85582778","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
