Abstract: This paper presents some results of the study regarding the corrosion inhibition properties evaluated in HCl environment of drop casting deposited layers on steel, using ZnV2O6 oxide (obtained by hydrothermal and co-precipitation methods) and two Zn–metalloporphyrins, namely: Zn–5-pyridyl-10,15,20-tris(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-porphyrin (ZnPyDiMeOPP) and Zn-5(3OH-phenyl)-10,15, 20-tris-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-porphyrin (Zn3OHtris34DiMeOPP).The open circuit potential measurement and potentiodynamic polarization electrochemical technique with Tafel representation were used to investigate the corrosion protection of mixed sandwich deposited layers.The performed tests revealed that the best corrosion resistance was obtained in the case of the steel coated with hydrothermally obtained ZnV2O6 oxide as first layer and Zn–5-pyridyl-10,15,20-tris(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-porphyrin (ZnPyDiMeOPP) as the second layer, i. e.

Abstract: The present work aims to investigate the characteristics of high temperature vacuum brazed WC-Co-NiCrBSi coatings deposited on 16MnCr5 steel substrate. The coatings characteristics like morphology, microstructure, chemical composition and the appearance of the interface with the substrate have been analyzed by means of Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) combined with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy.

Abstract: The purpose of the work was to assess the influence of the vibro-abrasive treatment on the quality of the zinc coating. The use of vibro-abrasive finishing in the production process of fittings for overhead power line is designed to improve the aesthetics of the coating by eliminating zinc beads and burrs, as well as shorten the time of detecting the details on the production.

Abstract: At present, reinforced concrete or steel sheets with glass enamel are used for the construction of bioreactors, fermentation and storage tanks of biogas stations. To a lesser extent, corrosion-resistant steels are used and, in smaller dimensions, also plastics or fiberglass. [..] Read more

Abstract: In recent years, the cerium-based conversion coatings have been increasingly used as one of the more promising chromate coatings substitutes on aluminum alloys, as cerium compound do not pose environmental problems and the coatings provide an efficient corrosion protection close to that of chromium. The cerium-based layer was prepared from simple immersion of aluminium alloy sheets in a solution composed of a 4 - 8 g·L-1 Ce(NO3)3·6H2O; 30 - 50 ml·L-1 H2O2 (37 %) and 0.5 - 1,5 g·L-1 tannin at room temperature.

Abstract: It is generally recognized that the high content of non-metallic inclusions in structural steels alter their physical and mechanical properties. Formation of non-metallic inclusions is a complex phenomenon that depends on the composition, pressure and temperature of the working media. [..] Read more

Abstract: The work is devoted to the study of the process of passivation of zinc and its alloys in ecologically safe molybdate-containing solutions in order to replace highly toxic solutions of black chromate passivation.The concentration range of the solution components was determined, in which black coatings are deposited, corresponding to a point of 10 on a ten-point color scale. It was found that the optimal pH values of the solution are in the range from 4.8 to 5.2 units. [..] Read more

Abstract: Magnesium and its alloys are interesting materials but they have low corrosion resistance. Magnesium-aluminium double layered hydroxide (Mg-Al LDH) coatings were prepared on AZ31 alloy by hydrothermal method at 50 °C, 70 °C and 90 °C at different reaction times (3 h, 6 h and 24 h).
