In this work, the influence of Pb and Bi atoms on the anti-corrosion behavior of the oxide film (Fe3O4) formed on steel surface is investigated based on first-principles calculations. Through calculations of the formation energies, we find that Pb and Bi atoms can promote the formation of point defects, such as interstitial atoms and vacancies in Fe3O4. Besides, the effects of the concentration of Pb (or Bi) and pressure on the formation of these defects are also studied. Our results depict that a high density of Pb (or Bi) and compression pressure can promote the formation of defects in Fe3O4 significantly. Furthermore, the energy barriers for Pb and Bi atom migration in Fe3O4 are also estimated using the climbing image nudge elastic band (CI-NEB) method, which implies that Pb and Bi can diffuse more easily in Fe3O4 compared to Fe. Our results reveal the underlying mechanism of how Pb and Bi influence the anti-corrosion ability of oxide films in an accelerate driven system (ADS). It is instructive for improving the corrosion resistance of the oxide films in the ADS.

The corrosion resistance of nickel-titanium nitride (Ni/TiN) composites is significantly influenced by the operation parameters during the jet pulse electrodeposition (JPE) process. The effect of current density, jet rate, TiN concentration, and duty cycle impact on the anti-corrosion property of Ni/TiN composites were investigated and optimized using the response surface method (RSM). After the optimization of the operation parameters, the corrosion current of Ni/TiN composites decreased from 9.

Coating a titanium (Ti) implant with hydroxyapatite (HA) increases its bioactivity and biocompatibility. However, implant-related infections and biological corrosion have restricted the success of implant. To address these issues, a modified hydroxyapatite nanocomposite (HA/silica-EDTA-AgNPs nanocomposite) was proposed to take advantage of the sustained release of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and silicate ions through the silica-EDTA chelating network.

Metallization, a process for applying anti-corrosion coatings, has advantages over hot-dip galvanizing, such as reduced thermal stress and the ability to work "in situ". This process consists of the projection of a protective metal as coating from a wire as application material, and this wire is obtained by multi-stage wiredrawing. For the metallization process, a zinc-aluminum alloy wire obtained by this process is used.

Aluminium foam sandwich panels (AFSPs) have a high impact resistance and are suitable for a wide range of engineering applications. To improve corrosion resistance, this paper proposes an anti-corrosion sandwich panel with stainless steel as the upper sheet. Drop hammer impact tests were performed on a total of ten AFSPs to investigate their dynamic response and failure patterns.

In this paper, the effects of the SiC phase incorporated in Ni substrate deposits on storage tank steel during electrodeposition at different current densities are explored. The microstructure, phase content, and corrosion resistance of the resulting Ni-SiC composites were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) matched with energy disperse spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and an electrochemical workstation, respectively. SEM micrographs and EDS results show that at 2.
