Crevice corrosion accounts for 62% of the recorded breakdown of insulators utilized in transmission lines, which may interfere with the reliability of power utilities. To address these challenges, sustainable and resilient slippery lubricant-infused porous surfaces (SLIPS) are developed on insulators to prevent electrochemically/biochemically induced crevice corrosion especially occurring in tropical and coastal environments. The conventional way of developing SLIPS by chemical and physical etching might interfere with the mechanical stability of insulators composed of pin (galvanized steel), cement, and shell (porcelain). The current study proposes a noble concept of developing hierarchical patterned textured surfaces on insulators to fabricate a resilient SLIPS coating without physical/chemical etching. The proposed coating exhibits 99% antiadhesion performance against a mixed culture of bacterial strains, superior hydrophobicity (contact angle: 160°, contact angle hysteresis: 4°), and crevice corrosion resistance performance at elevated temperatures (25-75 °C) and humidity. This study could facilitate a new route for the development of sustainable and highly reliable SLIPS coatings in the future.

Formation Mechanism and Prevention of Cu Undercut Defects in the Photoresist Stripping Process of MoNb/Cu Stacked Electrodes.
Materials (Basel)
October 2024
Chongqing Key Laboratory of Interface Physics in Energy Conversion, College of Physics, Chongqing University, Chongqing 400044, China.
Article Synopsis
- The Cu undercut is a newly identified defect in the wet stripping process of MoNb/Cu gate stacked electrodes used in thin-film transistors (TFTs), linked to the morphology and corrosion of copper and molybdenum niobium.
- The research shows that this defect is caused by local crevice corrosion rather than galvanic corrosion and becomes worse with longer stripping times.
- To prevent the undercut, three strategies were proposed, with the most effective being the MoNb/Cu/MTD triple-stacked structure, which uses the top MTD layer as a sacrificial anode, ultimately improving TFT yield and performance.
Do Intra-articular Metal Ion Levels Predict Adverse Local Tissue Reaction in Revision Total Hip Arthroplasty for Mechanically Assisted Crevice Corrosion?
J Arthroplasty

Department of Orthopaedics, Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta, Georgia.
Article Synopsis
- Mechanically assisted crevice corrosion can complicate total hip arthroplasty (THA), potentially leading to adverse local tissue reactions (ALTR) due to metal ions released in the body.
- A study examined 552 THA patients, focusing on the relationship between synovial fluid (SF) cobalt and chromium ion levels and the risk of developing ALTR, analyzing preoperative and intraoperative samples.
- The findings showed no correlation between SF ion levels and ALTR; elevated serum cobalt levels were predictive of ALTR, indicating that SF measurements add no value over serum levels for diagnosing this condition.
Effect of Crevice Size on Crevice Corrosion of N80 Carbon Steel in CO-Saturated NaCl-HAc Solution.
Materials (Basel)
August 2024
Institute of Materials Science and Engineering, Ocean University of China, Qingdao 266100, China.
The effect of crevice size on the crevice corrosion of N80 carbon steel was investigated by electrochemical measurements and surface analysis in a CO-saturated NaCl-HAc solution. The N80 carbon steel exhibits a high susceptibility to crevice corrosion in this environment, which can be initiated immediately without an induction period for specimens with crevice sizes of 100 μm, 300 μm, and 500 μm. Typically, crevice solutions become more acidic during crevice corrosion; however, in this study, the crevice solution became alkaline, resulting in galvanic corrosion between the inner and outer steel surfaces and leading to severe crevice corrosion.

Crevice corrosion in modular taper junctions of hip or knee replacements using cobalt-chrome-molybdenum (CoCrMo) alloys remains a clinical concern. Non-mechanically-driven corrosion has been less explored compared to mechanically assisted crevice corrosion. This study hypothesized that solution chemistry within crevices, inflammation, and cathodic electrode potential shifts during fretting result in low pH and generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), affecting oxide film behavior.
