High-strength steel wires in bridge stay cables are susceptible to chloride attack and wet–dry cycling during long term service. Furthermore, the resulting spatially non-uniform evolution of corrosion morphology can lead to the degradation of their static mechanical properties. In this study, high-strength steel wires...
This study introduces the Friction stir processing (FSP) of AZ91 magnesium alloy for grain refinement with a view to improve the mechanical and corrosion properties. The results of microstructural characterization show a considerable change in the grain size from 49.49 µm to 4.91 µm after FSP. This refining contributes...
10CrNi5MoV high-strength steel may suffer from microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) caused by sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB), posing a severe threat to structural integrity and service safety. Herein, we report the application of immersion corrosion tests, electrochemical measurements, and X-ray photoelectron...
Duplex stainless steels are broadly employed in harsh environments because of their excellent combination of mechanical strength and corrosion resistance. But, exposure to temperatures near 475 °C can trigger microstructural degradation within the ferritic phase, which results in development of chromium enriched and Ir...
