With the application of stainless steel clad plate (SSCP)-enlarging in the marine engineering field, awareness of the consequences of heat treatment on ameliorating microstructure and mechanical properties in stainless steel (SS)/carbon steel (CS) joints is being raised. However, carbide diffusion from a CS substrate to SS cladding may damage the corrosion resistance during inappropriate heating. In this paper, the corrosion behavior of a hot rolling-produced stainless steel clad plate (SSCP) after quenching and tempering (Q-T) treatment, especially crevice corrosion, was studied by electrochemical and morphological methods, such as cyclic potentiodynamic polarization (CPP), confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Q-T treatment led to more significance in carbon atoms diffusion and carbide precipitation, which made the passive film of the SS cladding surface on the SSCP unstable. Subsequently, a device for measuring the crevice corrosion performance of SS cladding was designed; the Q-T-treated cladding showed lower re-passivation potential (-585 mV) during CPP when compared to as-rolled (-522 mV), with the maximum corrosion depth ranging from 70.1 μm to 150.2 μm. In addition, the processing of crevice corrosion on SS cladding could be divided into three parts, including the initiation, propagation and development stages, which were driven by the interactions between corrosive media and carbides. The generation and growth mechanism of corrosive pits in crevices were revealed.

Formation Mechanism and Prevention of Cu Undercut Defects in the Photoresist Stripping Process of MoNb/Cu Stacked Electrodes.
Materials (Basel)

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)

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.
