The effect of pH on the corrosion protection of aluminum alloys in lithium-carbonate-containing NaCl solutions Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The corrosion inhibiting effect of lithium carbonate has been studied over the pH range relevant for atmospheric corrosion conditions at the polymer/metal interface. It is demonstrated that lithium carbonate offers optimum corrosion protection under moderately alkaline conditions attributed to the formation of a protective layer identified as aluminum-lithium layered double hydroxide. It is proposed that an active-to-passive transition occurs ...
Revealing the stress corrosion cracking initiation mechanism of alloy 718 prepared by laser powder bed fusion assessed by microcapillary method Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Microstructural Features, Defects, and Corrosion Behaviour of 316L Stainless Steel Clads Deposited on Wrought Material by Powder- and Laser-Based Direct Energy Deposition with Relevance to Repair Applications Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Effect of Thermal Treatment on Corrosion Behavior of AISI 316L Stainless Steel Manufactured by Laser Powder Bed Fusion Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Growth kinetics and passive behavior of the native oxide film on additively manufactured AlSi10Mg versus the conventional cast alloy Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Growth kinetics and passive behavior of the native oxide film on additively manufactured AlSi10Mg versus the conventional cast alloy Vrije Universiteit Brussel
This work studies the passive behavior and growth kinetics of the native oxide on additively manufactured AlSi10Mg and compares it with that of the conventional cast alloy, which presents a markedly different microstructure. With the use of a scanning Kelvin probe force microscopy (SKPFM)-based methodology, the growth kinetics of native oxide films on these alloys was examined. The microstructure of these materials had a great impact on the ...

The Hot-Stamping Effect on the Corrosion Properties of the 22MnB5 Steel Coated with Hot-Dip Aluminum-Silicon Assessed by a Salt Spray Test and Raman Spectroscopy Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The effect of hot stamping on the corrosion properties of boron-manganese 22MnB5 steel coated with hot-dip aluminum-silicon was evaluated under severe conditions by a continuous salt spray test (SST). The corrosion mechanism changed from localized to generalized, as cathodic precipitates were not present after hot stamping. Intrinsic defects in press-hardened steel samples were the reason for severe damage in both metallic coating and steel ...
