Enhanced corrosion inhibition effect of sodium tartrate on copper in potable water by Ramasamy Sudhakaran, Thiagarajan Deepa, Munusamy Thirumavalavan, Sharmila Queenthy Sabarimuthu, Sellamuthu Babu, Thayuman Asokan, Abdulrahman I. Almansour, Pandian Bothi Raja, Karthikeyan Perumal

“…The results obtained from studies like SEM, EDAX, AFM, and water contact angle clearly indicated the development of a barrier by inducing the lotus effect on copper surface. The water contact angle measurement results suggested that the coating formed in the presence of inhibitor was superhydrophobic, and the surface was homogeneous.…”

Al2O3-modified 7YSZ thermal barrier coatings for protection against volcanic ash corrosion by Xiaofeng Zhang, Xueshi Zhuo, Zhengjie Fan, Jie Mao, Chunming Deng, Changguang Deng, Xuesong Mei, Jianlei Cui, Kesong Zhou, Min Liu

“…Abstract To prevent volcanic ash corrosion using thermal barrier coatings (TBCs), a novel method using Al2O3-modification was proposed to reduce molten CMAS wettability on TBCs surface through a lotus effect. Plasma spray-physical vapor deposition (PS-PVD), a third-generation method for TBCs fabrication, was adopted to deposit 7YSZ TBCs with a feather-like microstructure. …”
