A short view on the stress corrosion cracking and the prospect of ecofriendly inhibitors

Metallic materials will continue to have challenges related to fracture, transcrystalline, and hydrogen embrittlement corrosion due to severe area of application that is unavoidable. The study into the performance of metallic materials has shown that corrosion mechanism through stress corrosion cracking often occurs vis-viz due to the electrochemical and reduction reaction. The phase diagram is important to solve problems related to hot corrosion, hydrogen embrittlement, intergranular corrosion, and stresses corrosion cracking challenges. The need to look into the defining mechanism from the researcher cannot be underestimated. These overviews provide insight on related problem definition and formulation towards corrosion challenges and possible assessment of the corrosion inhibitors

Production and characterization of AA6061/clay silicon nanocomposite for industrial application

Composites have been used as the needed material of current interest to curb deficiencies and meeting the ever-increasing demand in science and technology. In this study, production was done by stir casting method and the mechanical properties of AA606l/clay were assessed. The cast was manufactured with liquid metallurgy route through the reinforcement of 2 - 8 weight percentages of particle sizes of 75 μm clay. The microstructural test such as SEM/EDS and mechanical properties were examined. From the results, the mechanical properties were found to increase at 8 % clay reinforcement. SEM images showed that uniform dispersal of particulates occur in the cast and an increase up to 8 % clay revealed significant blending of matrix and reinforcement as evidenced in the surface morphology study

The simplicity of electrochemical degradation of materials and its susceptibility

The study of corrosion is vital to reducing the overhead costs in the manufacturing industries. However, finding suitable application methods for prevention is a concern due to manufacturer specification and resource investment procedure. The coating is recognized as one of the foremost ways of applying resistance to corrosion damage. Electro deposition is a unique technology because of its excellent control of the chemical properties, mechanical strengthening behavior, and structural evolution over time. Thus, these overview studies discuss the possible simplicity of electrochemical degradation of metal, the susceptibility within the metal range, and the protective coatings characteristics
