The analyzed topic refers to the corrosion resistance and changes in microhardness of the heat-treated (HT) hot-dip zinc coating deposited on bolts. The research aimed to evaluate the influence of the HT on the increase of the coating hardness and changes in anticorrosion properties. Hot-dip zinc coating was deposited in industrial conditions (acc. EN ISO 10684) on chosen bolts (M12x60). The achieved results were assessed based on corrosion resistance tests in neutral salt spray (salt chamber) and microhardness measurements. Tests were conducted in accordance with the adopted fractional plan, generated in the DOE module of the Statistica software. Using the conjugate gradient method optimal parameters of HT were determined. The conducted tests proved that the controlled heat treatment may increase the hardness of the hot-dip zinc coating without a significant deterioration in its basic protective function (corrosion resistance). The observed changes in the hardness and corrosion resistance of the zinc coating are a consequence of changes in its structure.

Recent advancements in aerospace industry demand intricate aero-engine parts, leading to the increased use of titanium alloys, particularly Ti-17, due to its high strength, thermal stability, and corrosion resistance. However, its low thermal conductivity and tool wear tendency pose significant machining challenges, impacting surface integrity, fatigue life, and overall component performance. This study investigates the Wire Electrical Discharge Cutting (WEDC) process, revealing that the mechanism behind improved surface integrity lies in the controlled thermal input, which minimizes phase transformations and reduces residual stresses.

Nano zero-valent iron (nZVI) is widely used for polychlorinated biphenyl (PBDE) remediation due to its cost-effectiveness and strong reduction capacity. However, its practical application is limited by poor stability, mobility, and antioxidant performance, as well as high reactivity that leads to side reactions and activity loss. To overcome these challenges, a poly(styrene)-encapsulated nZVI (PS-nZVI) core-shell structure was developed using dispersion polymerization.

A micro-nano sharkskin like film (Cu-MNS-FA) was synthesized on copper surface through chemical etching followed by formate passivation, and its anticorrosive, antibacterial and thermal conductivity properties were investigated. Results show that after 7 d of exposure to nature, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Desulfovibrio vulgaris seawater, the charge transfer resistance of Cu-MNS-FA is more than three times higher than that of unmodified copper. In particular, in D.

The current piston material, Al-12Si, lacks sufficient passivation in the acidic lubrication system of biodiesel engines, making it prone to corrosion in the presence of Cl. Fe amorphous particles exhibit good compatibility with Al-12Si, possessing strong corrosion resistance, excellent passivation ability, and good high-temperature stability. They are a potential reinforcement for enhancing the Al-12Si piston material.
