Impact of surface oxides on steel on hydrogen absorption and desorption Vrije Universiteit Brussel
atomic hydrogen in a metal can cause important ductility loss, known as “hydrogen embrittlement (HE)”, and can be introduced during the production and processing
of steel or during its use, referred to as internal hydrogen embrittlement (IHE) and hydrogen environment ...
Revealing the stress corrosion cracking initiation mechanism of alloy 718 prepared by laser powder bed fusion assessed by microcapillary method Vrije Universiteit Brussel
New insights into the mechanism of localised corrosion induced by TiN-containing inclusions in high strength low alloy steel Vrije Universiteit Brussel
This work investigated the chemical and electrochemical mechanisms of localised corrosion triggered by CaS·xMgO·yAl2O3·TiN complex inclusions in high strength low alloy steel (HSLAS) under a simulated marine environment. Special focus was given to the role of the TiN portion of the inclusion on the initiation and growth of the corrosion pits. The thermodynamic process of pitting initiation was investigated by Gibbs free energy, Pourbaix ...
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
Trend Removal in Measurements of Best Linear Time-Varying Approximations – with Application to Operando Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy Vrije Universiteit Brussel
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 ...
Influence of austenitisation temperatures during hot stamping on the local electrochemical behaviour of 22MnB5 steel coated with hot-dip Al-Si Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Scanning Kelvin probe force microscopy was used to evaluate the effect of austenitisation temperatures during hot stamping on the local electrochemical behaviour of 22MnB5 steel coated with hot-dip Al-Si. A variation in the austenitisation temperature around 50 °C substantially altered the coating morphology as well as the local electrochemical behaviour of the system (coating/steel). Both coating layer and steel substrate became nobler as ...
Depth profiling approach to evaluate the influence of hot stamping on the local electrochemical behaviour and galvanic series of hot-dip Al-Si coating on 22MnB5 steel Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The influence of hot-stamping process on the corrosion properties of Al-Si coating on 22MnB5 steel was locally evaluated using a depth profiling approach combining GDOES and electrochemical micro cell. The results highlight the complexity of the system and the high dependence of the local galvanic series on the hot-stamping process. Due to iron diffusion from the steel substrate into the coating, the Al-rich layers presented active behaviour, ...
