During aqueous corrosion, atoms in the solid react chemically with oxygen, leading either to the formation of an oxide film or to the dissolution of the host material. Commonly, the first step in corrosion involves an oxygen atom from the…
Water solid interfacial reactions are critical to understanding corrosion. More specifically, it is notoriously difficult to determine how water and solid interact beyond the initial chemisorption to induce the surface dissolution. Here, we…
Accurate model predictions of corrosion-driven damage in reinforced concrete structures necessitate a comprehensive understanding of the rate of corrosion product formation. Here, we investigate the influence of dissolved Si characteristic…
(Al,Cr)2O3 coatings with Al/(Al+Cr) = 0.5 or Al = 70 at.%, doped with 0, 5 or 10 at.% Si, were deposited on hard metal and Si(100) substrates to elucidate the influence of Si on the resulting coatings. The chemical analysis of the coatings…
Recent experiments have shown that chemical ordering in NiCr alloys can significantly accelerate corrosion in molten salt environments. However, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Using reactive molecular dynamics and…
Ni-based structural alloys in molten salt environments often experience simultaneous mechanical loading and corrosive attack, yet the mechanisms governing stress-corrosion interactions remain unclear. Prior studies largely emphasize tensile…
The corrosion behavior of NiCr alloys in molten FLiNaK salt is governed by complex Cr-F chemical interactions, necessitating a fundamental understanding for enhancing alloy performance in harsh environments. However, significant gaps remain…
Hot salt stress corrosion cracking in Ti 6246 alloy has been investigated to elucidate the chemical mechanisms that occur. Cracking was found to initiate beneath salt particles in the presence of oxidation. The observed transgranular…
The corrosion resistance of an electroplated (EP) Zn coating whose surface was chemically etched to produce surface defects (pores) is investigated in this work. Impedance and DC polarisation measururements were employed to study the…
Diffusion plays a key role in microstructure evolution at multicomponent alloys: diffusion controls the kinetics of phase transformations and alloy homogenization. This study aims at developing computationally efficient approaches to…
The effects of ionizing radiation on materials often reduce to "bad news." Radiation damage usually leads to detrimental effects such as embrittlement, accelerated creep, phase instability, and radiation-altered corrosion. This last point…
Corrosion is a major concern for many industries, as corrosive environments can induce structural and morphological changes that lead to material dissolution and accelerate material failure. The progression of corrosion depends on nanoscale…
In this work a representative nickel superalloy, Ni70W20Nb10, was investigated in the presence of chlorine to quantify its early-stage dissolution behavior. Surface structures were generated from a bulk configuration sampled in equilibrium…
To understand the behavior of corrosion films on X65 C-steel under CO2 conditions is paramount to identify the formation and transformations of corrosion products. This work presents the chemical changes and mechanical effects produced by…
We have performed electronic state calculations to clarify the initial stage of the oxidation of the Si- and C-faces in 4H-SiC based on the density-functional theory. We investigate how each Si and C atomic site is oxidized on C- and…
The interface between NiCr alloys and FLiNaK molten salt exhibits complex corrosion behavior, mainly driven by intricate chemical interactions involving Cr and F$\mathrm{^-}$ ions. Understanding these dynamic reactions is crucial for…
In this work, the hydrogenation mechanism of fired passivating contacts (FPC) based on c-Si/SiO$_{x}$/nc-SiC$_{x}$(p) stacks was investigated, by correlating the passivation and local re-distribution of hydrogen. Secondary ion mass…
The mechanism of AgCl-induced stress corrosion cracking of Ti-6246 was examined at \SI{500}{\mega\pascal} and \SI{380}{\celsius} for \SI{24}{\hour} exposures. SEM and STEM-EDX examination of a FIB-sectioned blister and crack showed that…
The most energetically favourable accommodation processes for common impurities and alloying elements in Be metal and Be-Fe-Al intermetallics were investigated using atomic scale simulations. Fe additions, combined with suitable heat…
In this work, the four high entropy CoCrFeNiX alloys (X=Mo,Nb,B,Si) were prepared by induction melting to comparatively analyse their structure, nanomechanical properties, and corrosion resistance in the chloride ion environment. The…
