A mathematical error was made when deriving the ‘H<sub>2</sub> model’ line, resulting in a significantly elongated hydrogen outgassing curve. Correction of this error demonstrates that hydrogen outgassing at 75°C should be completed within a matter of weeks.

Here, we report a non-destructive test to assess key performance parameters of functional ceramic coatings, specifically those based on aluminum. The primary focus is on evaluating the electrical insulation and complex barrier efficiency of the whole coating system. A novel approach based on non-invasive electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in the NO-Contact-to-the-Substrate setup (NOCS) is deployed to assess the barrier efficiency of the final coating system.

This review categorizes mechanisms into chemical, electrochemical, and mechanical modes. Chemical corrosion varies by environment: nitrate salts enable protective oxide films (e.g., Cr₂O₃, FeCr₂O₄) on Cr-steels, while chloride systems require Ni-based alloys with high Mo/W and strict impurity control to suppress Cr volatilization. Electrochemical corrosion is impurity-driven in chlorides (H₂O/O₂/Cl⁻ causing film breakdown and acidification) but milder in nitrates. Notably, welded joints are vulnerable; microstructural inhomogeneity induces galvanic cells, accelerating Heat-Affected Zone (HAZ) erosion. Mechanical corrosion involves flow delamination, thermal flaking, and stress-corrosion, where initial Cr diffusion eventually promotes intergranular cracking.

TC and WPN influenced corrosion response in a condition-dependent manner rather than exhibiting a monotonic trend. Potentiodynamic polarization measurements showed corrosion rates ranging from 0.115 to 0.225 mm·yr⁻¹, consistent with pit coalescence and IG connectivity observed after polarization and immersion weight-loss testing.
