Effect of aging time and temperature on intergranular corrosion of aluminium alloys

Two types of aluminium alloys, 2024‐T3 and 7075‐T6, having been selected, this study aims to investigate the effect of metallurgical aspects on intergranular corrosion.

Corrosion resistance of rapidly solidified Fe36Co36Zr7Si10B11 and Fe33.5Co33.5Nb7Si15B11 alloys

Amorphous and nanocrystalline FeCo‐based alloys present excellent soft magnetic properties and high Curie T_C temperatures. At ambient temperatures, these alloys are subject to…

The assessment of natural atmosphere corrosivity by the use of electrochemical noise analysis

The aim of this work is to evaluate the electrochemical noise (EN) method as a way of evaluating quickly the aggressiveness of natural atmospheres.

Corrosion of zinc‐coated reinforcing bars in tropical humid marine environments

Reinforcing steel bars in concrete structures exposed to tropical marine atmospheres experience very high corrosion rates due to several environmental factors. The aim of this…

Rapid method for corrosion protection determination of VCI films

To develop and test a rapid method for evaluation of the corrosion protection (CP) of carbon steel (CS) by vapour corrosion inhibitors (VCI) films.

Enhancing the corrosion resistance of magnesium alloy AZ91D in 3.5 per cent NaCl solution by cerate conversion coatings

To develop new eco‐environmentally friendly surface treatments based on cerate compounds as alternatives to the process involving toxic chromates for the corrosion protection of…

Accelerated cyclic corrosion testing of structural steels and its application to assess steel bridge coatings

The purpose of this study was to determine correlation between an accelerated cyclic corrosion test (S6‐cycle test) specified in Japanese Industrial Standards K5621 and field…
