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 disadvantage of magnesium alloys is their low corrosion resistance due to high electronegativity. One of the most effective methods to improve the corrosion resistance of magnesium alloys is to form a conversion adhesive coating on their surface, followed by applying paintwork materials.

Abstract: The aim of this study is to compare the corrosion resistance of anodic oxidation coatings on Al2024 alloy. Due to its composition with a high content of alloying elements (mainly Cu), anodization of this alloy is one of the difficult ones compared to most other alloys or pure aluminium. [..] Read more

Abstract: Metal structures, equipment, ships, port and hydraulic structures, other objects operating in river or sea water, after some time are exposed to the inhabitants of the aquatic environment. The surface is overgrown with algae; various small marine organisms attach to it. [..] Read more

Abstract: This poster focuses on the characterization of chloride migration from the environment into different types of concrete. Chloride diffusion into reinforced concrete plays an important role in the degradation of reinforced concrete structures. [..] Read more

Abstract: Nowadays, implants are predominantly made of metallic materials that have two main problems. The first resides in the modulus of elasticity being higher than the one of the human bone (10-20 GPa), resulting in stress shielding and subsequent implant failure. [..] Read more

Abstract: Magnesium and its alloys are very promising candidates for the development of degradable implants, but their application is limited by high corrosion rates. The corrosion resistance of magnesium materials can be increased by suitable surface treatment. [..] 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).
