Corrosion is the result of the interaction of a material
(metal)with its environment.
%e corrosion process depends on the properties of bothmetal (and
alloy) and surrounding environment. Usually,the more important
factors causing corrosion are concen-tration of aggressive species
(e.g., chloride), acidity (pH),fluid velocity, temperature, and
potential (oxidizing power).
Steel and other ferrous alloys are consumed in ex-ceedingly
large quantities because they have such a widerange of mechanical
properties, may be fabricated withrelative ease, and are economical
to produce. However, steelshave some distinct limitations, chiefly
a relatively highdensity, a comparatively low electrical
conductivity, andan inherent susceptibility to corrosion in some
commonenvironments.
%us, for many applications, it is advantageous or evennecessary
to use other alloys that have more suitableproperty combinations.
Alloy systems are classified eitheraccording to the base metal or
according to some specificcharacteristic that a group of alloys
shares. Authors wereinvited to submit original research articles
and reviews forthis special issue that included all aspects of the
corrosionprocess of the following metal and alloy systems:
aluminum,copper, magnesium, and titanium alloys; the
refractorymetals; the superalloys; the noble metals; and
miscellaneousalloys, including those that have nickel, lead, tin,
zirconium,and zinc as base metals.
%e papers published in this special issue are as follows:
(i) “Synthesis of Copper Oxide Aided by SelectiveCorrosion in Cu
Foils,” by Roberto Baca Arroyo.
%e authors present the synthesis of Cu oxide filmsaided by
selective corrosion of Cu foils with a sub-sequent heating process
in air atmosphere at lowtemperatures.
(ii) “Effects of Alloying Elements (Cr, Mn) on
CorrosionProperties of the High-Strength Steel in 3.5%
NaClSolution,” by BomiKim, Soojin Kim, and HeesanKim. %e authors
study the effects of manganese andchromium on corrosion resistance
of highmanganesesteels by examining the rust properties with
X-raydiffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, energy dis-persive
spectroscopy (EDS), and electron energy lossspectroscopy (EELS)
adjunct to transmission electronmicroscopy (TEM).
(iii) “Transition of Dislocation Structures in SeverePlastic
Deformation and Its Effect on Dissolutionin Dislocation Etchant,”
by Muhammad Rifai,EbadBagherpour, Genki Yamamoto, MotohiroYuasa,
and Hiroyuki Miyamoto. %e authors an-alyse the effect of SSE passes
on the dissolutionemploying the modified Livingston etchant,
whichis very sensitive to dislocations.
(iv) “Effect of Partial Cladding Pattern of Aluminum7075 T651 on
Corrosion and Mechanical Proper-ties,” by Rendell, Hsiao, and
Shirokoff. %e authorsestimate the clad spot to determine dimensions
fora two-dimensional aluminum alloy array.
(v) “Effect of Molybdenum on the Corrosion Behaviorof
High-Entropy Alloys (HEAs) CoCrFeNi2 and
