ZL205A aluminum alloys are favored for essential structural components in marine and aerospace sectors because of their superior strength-to-weight ratio. Yet, their vulnerability to corrosion in severe marine conditions presents a notable challenge. Although Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) enables the production of complex ZL205A components, maintaining their corrosion resistance is still a critical concern. This research explores the combined impact of Friction Stir Processing (FSP) and multidimensional nano-reinforcement on the microstructure and corrosion resistance of ZL205A thin-walled parts produced via WAAM. ZL205A thin-walled components, fabricated using Cold Metal Transfer (CMT)-based WAAM, underwent FSP, both with and without BNNS@Al 2 O 3 multidimensional nanomaterials. Our findings indicate that FSP considerably refines the grain structure and reduces the porosity typical of the WAAM process. Incorporating BNNS@Al 2 O 3 nanomaterials during FSP significantly enhanced grain refinement. These nanomaterials formed a network-like barrier within the matrix, effectively isolating the aluminum alloy from corrosive agents. The optimized microstructure results in significant corrosion resistance improvements; nano-reinforced specimens showed a 23-fold decrease in corrosion weight loss rate under salt spray conditions and a 352.58 % increase in equivalent resistance compared to traditional cast ZL205A. The findings highlight the potential of integrating WAAM, FSP, and multidimensional nano-reinforcements to develop high-performance ZL205A components with enhanced corrosion resistance, facilitating broader application in demanding environments.

Inspired by typical creature living surface with hydrophobicity, the hydrophobic graphene surface was successfully achieved on aluminium alloy substrate by a novel route. It is composed of two steps: biomimetic microstructure processing (BMP) on substrate and then preparation-transfer process of graphene via chemical vapor decomposition (CVD). The surface structure morphology, wettability and anti-corrosion were systematically investigated. It was found that the static water contact angle for the as-prepared surface was as high as 130.8 ± 1°, demonstrating that the hydrophobic surface is formed on aluminium alloy substrate. It can be interpreted by the synergistic effect between BMP and CVD methods in constructing the biomimetic and hydrophobic graphene surface. Besides, the anti-corrosion property of Al alloy was improved by forming CVD-grown graphene coating on the substrates according to the results of electrochemical corrosion experiments. The synergistic method was not only applied to fabricate hydrophobic graphene film but also provided a versatile route in multifunctional graphene film suited in wide application.

Zero-valent iron (ZVI) has been extensively studied for its efficacy in removing heavy metals, nitrate, and chlorinated organic compounds from contaminated water. However, its limited effectiveness due to rapid passivation and poor selectivity is prompting for alternative solutions, such as the use of aluminium alloys. In this study, the efficacy of five distinct aluminium alloys, namely Al–Mg, Al–Fe, Al–Cu, and Al–Ni, each comprising 50 % Al by mass at a concentration of 10 g/L, was assessed using copper, nitrate and trichloromethane (TCM) as model contaminants. Results show that chemical pollutants reacted immediately with Al–Mg. On the contrary, the remaining three alloys exhibited a delay of 24 h before demonstrating significant reactivity. Remarkably, Al–Mg alloy reduced nitrate exclusively to ammonium, indicating minimal preference for nitrate reduction to N 2 . In contrast, the Al–Cu, Al–Ni, and Al–Fe alloys exhibited N 2 selectivity of 3 %, 5 %, and 19 %, respectively. The removal efficiency of copper, nitrate and TCM reached 99 % within 24 h, 95 % within 48h and 48 % within 48h, respectively. Noteworthy findings included the correlation between Fe concentration within the Al–Fe alloy and an increased N 2 selectivity from 9.3 % to 24.1 %. This resulted in an increase of Fe concentration from 10 % to 58 % albeit with a concurrent reduction in reactivity. Cu 2+ removal by Al–Fe alloy occurred via direct electron transfer, while the removal of nitrate and TCM was facilitated by atomic hydrogen generated by the alloy's hydrolysis. Intriguingly, nitrate and TCM suppressed Cu 2+ reduction, whereas Cu 2+ improved nitrate reduction and TCM degradation. These findings demonstrate the great potential of Al–Mg and Al–Fe alloys as highly efficient agents for water remediation.

In this study, a new Al-LPM composite coating was in-situ deposited on the Al alloy via a facile one-pot hydrothermal method . Morphological and compositional characterizations revealed a tri-layered structure of the Al-LPM coating, namely, zinc aluminum-layered double hydroxide (ZnAl-LDH)/poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS)/MoS 2 . ZnAL-LDH was deposited closest to the surface of Al alloy , and the metallic ion-cross-linking of PEDOT:PSS makes the 3D coating more robust. The unique structure endows the coating with superior protective properties against both corrosion and wear. For anti-corrosion, the Al-LPM coating showed very high self-corrosion potential (-0.092 V) and small self-corrosion current density (46.0 μA cm −2 ) (vs. Al substrate with -1.157 V and 354.8 μA cm −2 , respectively), long-lasting high corrosion resistance (>57,000 Ω cm 2 ) during the immersion test, and the almost intact surface morphology and composition after 360 h corrosion. For anti-wear, the friction coefficient of the Al-LPM coating was determined to be < 0.2, which was much smaller than for the Al substrate (> 0.4). Also, there were no serious wear marks and grooves left after the dry-friction test.

Herein, inspired by previous reports on the electrochemical reduction of Al in diverse electrolyte systems, we describe a novel Al-containing solvate ionic liquid (2:1 (mol/mol) mixture of ethylene carbonate (EC) and AlCl3) that allows low-temperature electrochemical deposition of Al and features the advantages of low cost, ease of preparation, and high electrochemical stability. Electrodeposition of Al-Li alloy and Li can also be realized in this system. Additionally, the above ionic liquid exhibited a saturated vapor pressure of 0.0012 kPa and a conductivity of 1.32 mS/cm at 298 K, which was acceptable for practical applications. To elucidate the electrochemical deposition mechanism, the ionic components of the 2:1 EC/AlCl3 system were characterized by a range of instrumental analysis techniques and theoretical calculations, and Lewis-acidic cations were identified as the electroactive species for Al electrodeposition. Notably, an Al-Li alloy could be obtained by co-deposition in the new solvate ionic liquid, and Li metal could also be electrodeposited on a high-purity Al plate in the form of Al4Li9 and Li3Al2 under ambient conditions using LiCl as a Li source. Al-containing solvate ionic liquids, which to an extent evolved from organic-salts, are of increasing interest. They are expected to gain more attention in the field of electrochemical metallurgy of active metals, due to their higher tunability and lower price.

The development of a self-cleaning and corrosion resistant superhydrophobic coating for aluminum alloy surfaces that is durable in aggressive conditions has attracted great interest in materials science. In the present study, a superphydrophobic film was fabricated on an AA5052 aluminum alloy surface by the electrodeposition of Ni–Co alloy coating, followed by modification with 6-(N-allyl-1,1,2,2-tetrahydro-perfluorodecyl) amino-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-dithiol monosodium (AF17N). The surface morphology and characteristics of the composite coatings were investigated by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectrum (EDS), atomic force microscope (AFM) and contact angle (CA). The corrosion resistance of the coatings was assessed by electrochemical tests. The results showed that the surface exhibited excellent superhydrophobicity and self-cleaning performance with a contact angle maintained at 160° after exposed to the atmosphere for 240 days. Moreover, the superhydrophobic coatings significantly improved the corrosion resistant performance of AA5052 aluminum alloy substrate in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution.Keywords:superhydrophobic surface;aluminum alloy;corrosion resistance;self-cleaning

Slippery liquid infused porous surfaces (SLIPS) have been considered to be potential and effective method for anti-icing. Much work needed to be done for the application in field. In this study, SLIPS were successfully fabricated on 7075-T651 aluminum alloy by anodizing in phosphoric acid solution with three different voltage parameters and coating lubricant. Then the most suitable anodization parameters of samples were selected through the anti-icing performance tests. The best as-prepared surface exhibited ultralow ice-adhesion strength, which reduced from 261 to 6 kPa. Meanwhile, the freezing time of water-drop on aluminum alloy surfaces have been dramatically delayed at −5 and −10 °C (humidity of 75% ± 5%), respectively. Moreover, the durability of the SLIPS have also been investigated. Cycles of icing/deicing, mechanical damage, thermal and UV exposure were used to investigate the durability of SLIPS, and SLIPS could still show low ice-adhesion strength.Keywords:ice-adhesion;anti-icing;aluminum alloy;anodization;durability

Silanization is an effective green and pollution-free technology for metal surface treatment. However, the silane film is usually lack of anticorrosion durability due to low mechanical strength and existence of microdefects. In the present study, two-dimensional MXene (Ti 3 C 2 ) sheets have been hybridized into the γ-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (γ-GPS) film on AA2024 aluminum alloy surface to improve the anticorrosion property. MXene hybridization greatly enhanced the thickness and compactness of the silane film, producing uniform and dense films with fewer defects. The composite films also showed excellent adhesion to the substrate through Si-O-Al chemical bonding. The films inhibited both anode and cathode corrosions by reducing the corrosion current density as well as the diffusion rate of corrosion solution to metal surface. The neutral salt spray tests showed that the corrosion resistance of the MXene-hybridized silane film was better than that of the film obtained by traditional chromate treatment. Moreover, the composite films exhibited excellent antibacterial property by having MXene in the film for killing bacteria. The study develops a simple and effective strategy to improve the anticorrosion property of the silane film as well as to introduce antimicrobial ability, which is highly promising for practical applications in the industrial, medical and domestic fields.

An efficient and simple in-situ/mechanical two-step strategy has been discovered for the fabrication of nanocontainers based on zeolite imidazole framework-8 (ZIF-8) with corrosion inhibitors (benzotriazole, BTA). The nanocontainers were applied in anticorrosive coatings with anticorrosion and antibacterial bifunctions for aluminum alloys AA2024. The effects of ZIF-8 modified with the corrosion inhibitor via different methods (in-situ, mechanical, and two-step strategies) on its morphology, composition, structure, loading/release behavior were studied and discussed. Results showed that the amount of loaded BTA was positively correlated with the crystal size of the final ZIF-8, impacting sustained release. Compared with the conventional primary load (in-situ and mechanical loading way), the two-step loading method (in-situ followed by mechanical treatment) achieved a higher BTA loading without evident ZIF-8 morphology and structure changes. The two-step modified (2-BTA@ZIF-8) powders exhibited good corrosion inhibition and remarkable antibacterial properties against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus . Additionally, the 1-BTA@ZIF-8 (in-situ strategy), 1-BTA/ZIF-8 (mechanical strategy) and 2-BTA@ZIF-8 composites were dispersed in acrylic resin to prepare anticorrosive and antibacterial bifunctional coatings. Results showed that the 2-BTA@ZIF-8 incorporated acrylic coatings exhibited superior anticorrosion performance and antimicrobial activity compared to the unmodified coating due to the controlled release of BTA. Thus, elaborated strategy represents a feasible and effective way to construct high-performance anticorrosive and antimicrobial coatings with metal-organic framework materials.

The use of nanofluids as vehicle coolant can significantly improve the heat exchange efficiency, but it is necessary to understand its corrosiveness to metals before use. Corrosion behavior of aluminum alloy in simulated vehicle coolant (SVC), nano Al 2 O 3 coolant (SVC-Al 2 O 3 ), simulated coolant containing sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SVC-SDBS) and nano Al 2 O 3 coolant containing SDBS (SVC-Al 2 O 3 -SDBS) was investigated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy , polarization curve, weight loss analysis and surface analysis in this paper. The results showed that in the three media of SVC, SVC-SDBS and SVC-Al 2 O 3 -SDBS, the impedance modulus at the frequency of 10 mHz |Z| 0.01 , the charge transfer resistance R ct and the film resistance R f of aluminum alloy electrode increased with the immersion time. Compared with the three media, the aluminum alloy in SVC-Al 2 O 3 medium had the lowest |Z| 0.01 , R ct and R f , and had the highest corrosion current density, implying that Al 2 O 3 nanoparticles promoted the corrosion of aluminum alloy in SVC, and the corrosion products formed on the alloy surface were Al 2 O 3 , Al(OH) 3 , AlOOH, which were loose and not protective. The R f values of aluminum alloy electrode increased significantly with time in the media containing SDBS. The aluminum alloy exhibited the best corrosion resistance in the medium of SVC-SDBS and no obvious loose corrosion products but compact passivation film could be seen on the alloy surface. SDBS exhibited a good corrosion inhibition effect on aluminum alloy, which may be due to the adsorption of SDBS on the metal surface and the fact that SDBS promoted the formation of the passive film by preventing the transformation of alumina film to loose AlOOH layer. In the medium containing both SDBS and Al 2 O 3 nanoparticles, the corrosion inhibition effect of SDBS was weakened. This maybe due to the electrostatic attraction of positively charged Al 2 O 3 nanoparticles and negatively charged SDBS, which reduced the adsorption of SDBS on the metal surface, thereby weakening the protective effect of SDBS on the metal surface.

Despite the considerable demand for unique non-wetting superhydrophobic surfaces, simple and scalable one step fabrication approach has rarely been established. Herein, we report a convenient one step hydrothermal strategy for fabrication of superhydrophobic 5083 aluminum alloy (AA5083) surface. The spontaneously formed rough micro-structures and water repellent property can be achieved after pentadecafluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) aqueous solution treatment. The surface topography and chemical compositions were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The co-existence of flower-like micro-structures and abundant -CF 3 and -CF 2 groups after one step PFOA hydrothermal treatment contributes to the improved air-liquid interfacial contact area and the eventual anti-wetting behaviors. The as-prepared superhydrophobic AA5083 surface exhibits excellent water flow repellency, stable self-cleaning ability and favorable corrosion resistance . We believe the convenient and effective one step strategy will inspire the large-scale preparation of multifunctional surfaces for widely application scope.

To obtain both plasticity and toughness of the material at the same time, various manufacturing techniques of ceramic-metal composites and structures have been studied. In this work, a bio-inspired Al 2 O 3 ceramic scaffold with Gyroid structure was designed and prepared by stereolithographic (SL) additive manufacturing , then the Al 2 O 3 /Al ceramic-metal hybrid structure was prepared by infiltrating molten Al into the Al 2 O 3 ceramic structure. The performances of the Al 2 O 3 ceramic scaffold and the Al 2 O 3 /Al ceramic-metal hybrid structure were compared and analyzed by a quasi-static compression experiment. The quasi-static compressive strength of the pristine Al 2 O 3 scaffold was 14.36 MPa, while that of the Al 2 O 3 /Al ceramic-metal hybrid structure was up to 89.06 MPa. Moreover, the plasticity of the Al 2 O 3 /Al ceramic-metal hybrid structure was much higher than that of the Al 2 O 3 scaffold. During compression, the Al 2 O 3 /Al ceramic-metal hybrid structure had excellent energy absorption, reaching up to 2569.16 KJ/m³, 15 times that of the Al 2 O 3 scaffold. Therefore, this method can obtain materials with excellent ductility and toughness.
