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
This work analyses the microstructural defects and the corrosion behaviour of 316L stainless steel clads deposited by laser metal deposition on wrought conventional material, which is a highly relevant system for repair applications. The different defects and microstructural features found in these systems were identified and analysed from a perspective relevant to the corrosion performance of these materials. The role of these features and ...
Influence of chloride-induced corrosion on tensile membrane behaviour of reinforced concrete slabs Universiteit Gent
Combined EBSD and AFM study of the corrosion behaviour of ETP-Cu Universiteit Gent
Effect of nanostructuring and Al alloying on corrosion behaviour of thermal sprayed WC-Co coatings KU Leuven
Nanostructured WC–12Co coating with crystal sizes below 30 nm were deposited on low carbon steel substrate by high velocity oxy-fuel spraying. In this study, corrosion behavior of such coatings was investigated in artificial sea water electrolyte and compared with micron-sized (internal structure) coating of similar composition. Besides that, role of small amount Al alloying on corrosion behavior of such nanostructured coating was also ...
Study of the corrosion behaviour of Twin Roll cast AA3XXX and AA8XXX series material Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The production of aluminium foil products is typically done by means of Direct
Chill (DC) casting. However, this casting technique requires the need for
expensive hot rolling facilities, to ensure a proper reduction in thickness of the
foil products. Therefore, an alternative technique, which does not require the
need for such expensive hot rolling facilities, became of significant interest for
the aluminium industry. ...

Effect of pre-existing longitudinal and transverse corrosion cracks on the flexural behaviour of corroded RC beams KU Leuven
Assessing the residual capacity of corroded reinforced concrete (RC) beams depends on quantifying the corrosion cracks and rebar cross-section loss, and understanding their influence on the structural behaviour. Relations between corrosion crack widths and cross-section loss have been developed in the literature, and experimental studies have shown a decrease in the flexural capacity of corroded RC beams. However, their results were only related ...
Corrosion behaviour of titanium in the presence of Streptococcus mutans KU Leuven
Objective The main aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the influence of Streptococcus mutans on the corrosion of titanium. Methods S. mutans biofilms were formed on commercially pure titanium (CP-Ti) square samples (10 mm × 10 mm × 1 mm) using a culture medium enriched with sucrose. Open circuit potential (OCP) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements were used to evaluate the corrosion behaviour of CP-Ti in the ...
