Despite decades of research, metallic corrosion remains a long-standing challenge in many engineering applications. Specifically, designing a material that can resist corrosion both in abiotic as well as biotic environments remains elusive. Here we design a lightweight sulfur-selenium (S-Se) alloy with high stiffness and ductility that can serve as a universal corrosion-resistant coating with protection efficiency of ~99.9% for steel in a wide range of diverse environments. S-Se coated mild steel shows a corrosion rate that is 6-7 orders of magnitude lower than bare metal in abiotic (simulated seawater and sodium sulfate solution) and biotic (sulfate-reducing bacterial medium) environments. The coating is strongly adhesive and mechanically robust. We attribute the high corrosion resistance of the alloy in diverse environments to its semi-crystalline, non-porous, anti-microbial, and viscoelastic nature with superior mechanical performance, enabling it to successfully block a variety of diffusing species.
A variety of polymeric surfaces, such as anti-corrosion coatings and polymer-modified asphalts, are prone to blistering when exposed to moisture and air. As water and oxygen diffuse through the material, dissolved species are produced, which generate
The mechanism of AgCl-induced stress corrosion cracking of Ti-6246 was examined at SI{500}{megapascal} and SI{380}{celsius} for SI{24}{hour} exposures. SEM and STEM-EDX examination of a FIB-sectioned blister and crack showed that metallic Ag was form
Magnesium and its alloys are ideal for biodegradable implants due to their biocompatibility and their low-stress shielding. However, they can corrode too rapidly in the biological environment. The objective of this research was to develop heat treatm
Magnesium alloys have been considered to be favorable biodegradable metallic materials used in orthopedic and cardiovascular applications. We introduce NH+2 to the AZ31 Mg alloy surface by ion implantation at the energy of 50 KeV with doses ranging f
Magnesium alloys have been considered to be potential biocompatible metallic materials. Further improvement on the anti-corrosion is expected to make this type of materials more suitable for biomedical applications in the fields of orthopedics, cardi
