    Corrosion Degradation Behaviors of Ti6Al4V Alloys in Simulated Marine Environments

    by Wei Chen, Dalu Zhang, Enlei Wang, Feng Yan, Lin Xiang, Zhiwen Xie

    Detailed tests and characterizations were used to investigate the corrosion degradation behaviors of Ti6Al4V alloys in simulated marine environments. These alloys suffered from very slight pitting and a miniscule weight loss of 0.018 mg/cm2 during the 50 cycle salt spray exposure but experienced significant oxygen erosion in the high-temperature oxidation test, resulting in a high weight gain of 2.657 mg/cm2 at 400 h. The oxidation and degradation reactions simultaneously occurred during the high-temperature hot salt test. The chlorine (Cl2) induced by the eutectic reaction of the mixed salts accelerated the degradation of the substrate and led to a higher weight gain of 4.265 mg/cm2 at 400 h. In contrast, this alloy suffered from severe corrosion damage during the high-temperature hot salt–water vapor synergy test. The degradation of TiO2, Al2O3, and V2O5 was aggravated by the synergistic action of chlorine salt and water. The reaction forming hydrochloric acid (HCl) further degraded the matrix metal and consequently led to a high weight loss of 16.358 mg/cm2 at 400 h. These current findings provide a comprehensive understanding for the degradation mechanisms of Ti alloys in these specific marine environments.

    Enhanced Hot Salt-Water Corrosion Resistance of NiCoCrAlY-AlSiY Coating by Ion-Beam-Assisted Deposition

    by Guanming Xue, Zhiguo Wang, Enlei Wang, Yan Tang, Yanhui Zhao, Yihe Wang, Suying Hu, Lin Xiang, Zhiwen Xie

    A promising ion-beam-assisted deposition (IBAD) method was developed to improve the salt-water corrosion resistance of NiCoCrAlY-AlSiY coating. During hot salt-water exposure, hydrochloric acid (HCl) was produced when chloride salt, water, and metal oxide reacted with each other, while HCl was also produced when chlorine reacted with water. The as-deposited AlSiY layer exhibited a loose texture accompanied by numerous pore defects, which triggered the multi-scale diffusion of HCl, resulting in the large-area corrosion degradation of the coating texture and the rapid diffusion of the NiCoCrAlY bonding layer. By contrast, the ion-beam-assisted AlSiY layer showed a dense texture that effectively inhibited the inner diffusion of HCl and suppressed the corrosion reactions as well as the diffusion of the NiCoCrAlY bonding layer. The current results confirmed the significant potential of IBAD in inhibiting corrosion damage and diffusion of thermal protective coatings.
