The electrochemical behavior of Al-Zn-Si-RE coating in 3.5%NaCl solution was systematically studied by potentiodynamic polarization, corrosion potential (φcor ) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy techniques (EIS). The impedance data were fitted to appropriate equivalent circuits to explain the different electrochemical processes occurring at the electrode-electrolyte interface. The results indicate that Al-Zn-Si-RE coating reveals the similar polarization behavior as Zn-15Al coating. The coating has no passive region in the anodic polarization, but far lower corrosion current and much higher corrosion potential. Al-Zn-Si-RE coating provides effective sacrificial protection for steel substrate and the sacrificial anodic protection plays dominant role during the immersion process. In addition, theφcor evolution and EIS plots indicate that the corrosion process can be divided into five stages: pitting-dissolution-redeposition, activation corrosion, cathodic protection, physical barriers and the coating failure.展开更多

Experiments were carried out using physiological 0.9% NaCl solution(pH 2.3) at 37 °C. Very low passive current densities(in order of 10-6 A/cm2) were obtained from the anodic polarization curves, indicating high resistances of all samples in acidified 0.9% Na Cl solution. Scanning electron microscopy(SEM) was employed to observe the surface morphology and all sample surfaces were identically corroded, no pitting, cracks, or other defects appeared on the sample surfaces after anodic potentiodynamic polarization tests. Equivalent circuit was used for modeling the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS) data, in order to characterize the sample surface and better understand the effect of Mo and Ta addition on the cp-Ti and the effect of recrystallization. The EIS results confirm that all titanium samples exhibit passivity in physiological 0.9% NaCl solution(pH 2.3) at open circuit potential(polarization resistance is around 105 Ω·cm2). The corrosion resistance of these samples in physiological 0.9% NaCl solution(pH 2.3) at 37 °C is in the following order of recrystallized Ti12Mo5Ta〉 unrecrystallized Ti12Mo5Ta 〉 unrecrystallized Ti12Mo 〉 cp-Ti.展开更多

The very porous conversion coating produced in a pack aluminization technique had excellent adhesion and was conductive enough to permit conditions favorable for the precipitation of alumina oxyhydroxide during aluminum diffusion coatings. In this work, the bed was prepared as a mixture of A1, NH4C1 and A1203. In the high-activity bed were heat-treated at 1,173 K in an atmosphere made up of team with subsequent air-cooling. The effect of the bed content on the coating was examined. With the high-activity, the desired Fe2Al5 was formed as the outermost coating layer. The coating presented chemical composition gradients suitable for strong adhesion. The improvement of the thermal oxidation behaviour was studied at 1,373 K. Two different aqueous environments, which are (1) NaC1 and (2) H2SO4, are employed for using the technique of potentiodynamic polarization curve. The obtained experimental electrochemical parameters (Ecorr, Jcorr etc,) were used to compare the corrosion resistance of the tested steel state complemented by MEB (electronic scanning microscopy) in combination with dispersive analysis X in energy (EDS) or X ray diffraction indicated that the elements concentration maximum was located in the vicinity of the interface especially in the FeCrAI (Ce) coated by spherical A1203 powder. These results an discussed in terms of an addition effect on the development of the microstructure of oxide films.展开更多

However, fast degradation and poor surface biocompatibility hinder their clinical applications. Inspired by the "petal effect", we successfully constructed a superhydrophobic and highly adhesive coating on pure Mg via a simple hydrothermal treatment in a solution containing sodium oleate. The superhydrophobicity of the fabricated coating results from its flake-like micro-nanostructure and the low-surface-energy oleate group. Water droplet on the superhydrophobic coating cannot roll off even when the sample is turned upside down, owing to the sealed air-pockets and the van der Waals’ attraction at the solidliquid interface, indicating a highly adhesive force. The chemical and mechanical stability of the superhydrophobic coating were measured. Potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements suggest enhanced corrosion resistance of the as-prepared sample.Furthermore, cell cytotoxicity, migration and adhesion data of human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVECs) reveal an improved cytocompatibility of the modified surface. Finally,hemolysis assay and platelet adhesion assay suggest an improved hemocompatibility. It is believed that the facile and low-cost method can expand the new application of superhydrophobic surface with highly adhesive on Mg in biomedical fields.展开更多
