The paper presents the results of examinations of the corrosion resistance of titanium after its being subjected to the surface modification by the alkali- and heat-treatments. The material examined was commercially pure titanium (grade 2). The samples were soaked in an aqueous 10M NaOH solution at 60 degrees C for 24 h and subsequently heated at 500, 600, or 700 degrees C for 1 h. The chemical composition of the surface layers was determined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and secondary ion mass spectroscopy. The phases present in the layers were identified by XRD. The corrosion resistance was evaluated by electrochemical methods (Stern's method, potentiodynamic method, and impedance spectroscopy) at a temperature of 37 degrees C after short- and long-time exposures. The 13 h exposure was aimed to allow the corrosion potential to stabilize. The aim of the long-term exposures was to examine how the corrosion resistance of the modified samples changes during the exposure. Under the conditions prevailing during the experiments, the highest corrosion resistance was achieved with the samples heated at a temperature of 700 degrees C.

Nickel alloys are widely used in the oil and gas industry where high corrosion resistance in chloride water or in sour environments is required. When high mechanical properties are required in combination with high corrosion properties, alloy 718 (UNS N07718) is one of the preferred choices, although it still presents limitations in terms of corrosion resistance in some applications: despite offering outstanding resistance to localized corrosion, alloy 718 is not immune to it. Its high corrosion resistance is mainly due to its high nickel and chromium contents combined with additions of molybdenum and other noble elements.

Roll bonding of aluminum/magnesium laminates combines the good corrosion resistance of aluminum alloys with the beneficial mechanical properties of magnesium alloys. We studied the microstructure of aluminum Al-1051/AZ31 magnesium laminates fabricated by the roll-bonding process. The fabricated laminates were investigated in the as-fabricated condition and after subsequent stress relief annealing treatment at temperatures ranging from 200 °C to 400 °C.

Zircaloy-4 (Zr-4) is widely used as the cladding material in nuclear power plants (NPPs) due to its excellent corrosion resistance and low neutron absorption cross-section. Under Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA) conditions, oxidation of Zr-4 can compromise the safety of the NPPs by accelerating hydrogen production. Therefore, enhancing the oxidation resistance of Zr-4 is a critical research focus.

In the current investigation, the efficiency inhibition of two newly synthesized bi-pyrazole derivatives, namely 2,3-bis[(bis((1 H-pyrazol-1-yl) methyl) amino)] pyridine (Tetra-Pz-Ortho) and 1,4-bis[(bis((1 H-pyrazol-1-yl) methyl) amino)] benzene (Tetra-Pz-Para) for corrosion of carbon steel (C&S) in 1 M HCl medium was evaluated. A Comparative study of inhibitor effect of Tetra-Pz-Ortho and Tetra-Pz-Para was conducted first using weight loss method and EIS (Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy) and PDP (Potentiodynamic Polarisation) techniques. Tetra-Pz-Ortho and Tetra-Pz-Para had a maximum inhibition efficacy of 97.

The adoption of carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technology is increasingly prevalent, driven by the global initiative to conserve energy and reduce emissions. Nevertheless, CCUS has the potential to induce corrosion in equipment, particularly in high-pressure environments containing carbon dioxide (CO). Therefore, anti-corrosion protection is necessary for the metal utilized for CO production and storage equipment.
