Corrosion-resistant metals and alloys towards liquid metals determine the service performances and lifetime of the devices employing liquid metals. This paper studies the static corrosion behaviors of iron, chromium, nickel, low carbon steel, and four types of stainless steels (SS410, SS430, SS304, SS316L) in liquid Sb-Sn at 500 oC, aiming to screen corrosion-resistant SS for Li||Sb-Sn liquid metal batteries (LMBs). The corrosion rates of Fe and Ni are 0.94 μm h-1 and 6.03 μm h-1 after 160 h’s measurement, respectively. Cr shows a low corrosion rate of < 0.05μm h-1, which is due to the formation of a relatively stable Cr-Sb layer that may be able to prevent the interdiffusion between the solid substrate and liquid Sb-Sn. Ni has a high corrosion rate because the formed Ni-Sb and Ni-Sn compounds are soluble in the liquid Sb-Sn. The corrosion products of both pure metals and SS can be predicted by thermodynamic and phase diagram analysis. Among the four types of SS, SS430 shows the best corrosion resistance towards liquid Sb-Sb with a corrosion rate of 0.19 μm h-1. Therefore, a liquid Sb-Sn resistant material should have a high Cr content and a low Ni content, and this principle is applicable to design metallic materials not only for LMBs but also for other devices employing liquid Sb- and Sn-containing liquid metals.

This paper describes different alternatives to be adopted to assess the integrity of weld overlays of flexible joints and lined pipes in offshore pipeline and riser projects. Protective layers are adopted as an interesting alternative to full thickness corrosion resistant alloys due to the possibility to adopt carbon steel as base material in order to reduce overall material costs. UNS N06625 (alloy 625) is generally selected for internal layers, such as weld overlay steels, lined pipes or clad pipes because of its sulfide stress cracking (SSC) resistance and outstanding weldability. However, unless the long-term integrity of the cladding or overlay as a protective layer can be demonstrated under the intended service conditions, the base material shall also be resistant against sulfide stress corrosion cracking. Due to low resistance of carbon steel to corrosion fatigue in the presence of contaminants in fluid content, the rupture of thickness of CRA (Corrosion Resistant Alloy) layer becomes a failure mode. An Engineering Critical Assessment (ECA) shall be performed in order to assess if circumferential planar flaws in weld overlay regions will not propagate through the CRA layer, thus exposing the base material, when submitted to critical cyclic loads during the service life. Such analysis would involve fatigue crack growth simulation and surface interaction of full circumferential embedded defects to determine the maximum weld overlay pass height to be limited by machining. This limited height of machined layers should guarantee that a full circumferential flaw will withstand the operational fatigue life. However, this is a very time consuming manufacturing process and would implicate additional concerns for long extensions due to out of straightness and out of roundness. Alternatively, the ECA results may be used to determine the flaw acceptance criteria and required probability of detection of volumetric non-destructive testing. Recent developments in ultrasonic inspection were successfully adopted and represent a better solution for alloy 625 weld overlay in terms of project scheduling and manufacturing costs. Radiographic testing may also be used provided it meets the required sensitivity, in terms of image quality indicators (IQI). Anyway, validation tests shall be performed to demonstrate adequate reliability to detect the minimum required flaw height.

We investigated a one-step method for calcium superhydrophobic surface preparation and researched the formation process of loose, flower-like microstructures. Also, we found that the pressing force strongly impacts the dynamics of water droplets.

Corrosion seriously limits the long-term application of Q235 carbon steel. Herein, a simple fabrication method was used to fabricate superhydrophobic surfaces on Q235 carbon steel for anticorrosion application. The combination of structure and the grafted low-surface-energy material contributed to the formation of superhydrophobic steel surfaces, which exhibited a water contact angle of 161.6° and a contact angle hysteresis of 0.8°. Meanwhile, the as-prepared superhydrophobic surface showed repellent toward different solutions with pH ranging from 1 to 14, presenting excellent chemical stability. Moreover, the acid corrosive liquid (HCl solution with pH of 1) maintained sphere-like shape on the as-prepared superhydrophobic surface at room temperature, indicating superior corrosion resistance. This work provides a simple method to fabricate superhydrophobic steel surfaces with chemical stability and corrosion resistance.
