AI Article Synopsis
- The shape memory effect in Fe-Mn-Si alloys allows steel to improve concrete's strength against tensile stress and vibrations.
- This study compares the corrosion resistance of a specific Fe-based shape memory alloy (FSMA) with general carbon steel (S400) to assess its viability for concrete reinforcement.
- Findings show that FSMA has a more stable passive oxide layer, leading to better corrosion resistance across varying pH levels, making it a superior choice for durable concrete constructions.
Article Abstract
The shape memory effect of steel (i.e., Fe-Mn-Si alloys) enables the tensile strengthening of concrete against tensile stress and unexpected structural vibrations. For practical application, the corrosion resistance of shape-memorable Fe-based steel should be verified. In this study, the corrosion resistance of an Fe-based (Fe-16Mn-5Si-4Ni-5Cr-0.3C-1Ti) shape memory alloy (FSMA), a promising candidate for concrete reinforcement, was investigated by comparing it with general carbon steel (S400). The corrosion resistance of FSMA and S400 inserted in a cement mortar was evaluated using electrochemical methods. FSMA has a more stable passive oxide layer in aqueous solutions with various pH values. Thus, the corrosion resistance of the FSMA sample was much higher than that of the S400 carbon steel, which has a passivation layer in strongly alkaline solution. This stable oxide layer reduced the sensitivity of the corrosion resistance of FSMA to changes in the pH, compared to S400. Furthermore, owing to the stable passive oxide layer, FSMA exhibited a higher corrosion resistance in concrete and a lower decrease in corrosion resistance because of the neutralization of concrete. Therefore, FSMA is a promising candidate for providing reinforcement and reparability, resulting in stable and durable concrete.

Coastal/offshore renewable energy sources combined with seawater splitting offer an attractive means for large-scale H electrosynthesis in the future. However, designing anodes proves rather challenging, as surface chlorine chemistry must be blocked, particularly at high current densities (). Additionally, waste seawater with increased salinity produced after long-term electrolysis would impair the whole process sustainability.

Multifunctional coatings have great application value in the protection of Marine equipment, ships and ship facilities, but they still suffer from the disadvantages of high preparation cost and complicated synthesis methods. Herein, employing a simple method to synthesize black carbon nitride (BCN), as the filler in polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) to construct BCN/PDMS composite coating with a multifunctional anti-corrosion/antifouling coating capable of photothermal self-healing property. Experimental results exhibit that the BCN/PDMS coating can still possesses excellent corrosion resistance after 28 d of immersion in the simulated seawater, and the impedance modulus still manages to reach 6.

Hydroxyapatite (HA) is an engineered biomaterial that closely resembles the hard tissue composition of humans. Biological HA is commonly non-stoichiometric and features lower crystallinity and higher solubility than stoichiometric HA. The chemical compositions of these biomaterials include calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), and trace amounts of various ions such as magnesium (Mg), zinc (Zn), and strontium (Sr).

The slippery liquid-infused porous surfaces (SLIPS) have recently attracted significant interest in marine antifouling and corrosion protection. Nevertheless, the insufficient durability and corrosion resistance of SLIPS considerably affect their application potential. In this work, a preparation strategy for ultradurable slippery organic coating was proposed to combat biofouling and corrosion.
