Surface composites by friction stir processing: A review

Friction stir welding/processing of metals and alloys: A comprehensive review on microstructural evolution

This review provides an overview of recent advances in the application of superhydrophobic surfaces to act as corrosion barriers. The adverse consequences of corrosion are a serious and widespread problem resulting in industrial plant shutdowns, waste of valuable resources, reduction in efficiency, loss or contamination of products, and damage to the environment. Superhydrophobic surfaces, inspired by nature, can be considered as an alternative means for improving the protection of metals against corrosion. Due to the possibility of minimizing the contact area between liquids and a surface, superhydrophobic surfaces can offer great resistance to corrosion. Artificial superhydrophobic surfaces have been developed with the potential of being applied in numerous settings including self-cleaning, anti-icing, oil-water separation, and especially anti-corrosion applications. In this paper, we review the concept of superhydrophobicity through presentation of different theoretical models. The fabrication and application of superhydrophobic surfaces are presented, and we then discuss the use of superhydrophobic coatings as barriers against the corrosion of metals.

Application of superhydrophobic coatings as a corrosion barrier : a review

Friction stir welding (FSW), a highly efficient solid-state joining technique, has been termed as “green” technology due to its energy efficiency and environment friendliness. It is an enabling technology for joining metallic materials, in particular lightweight high-strength aluminum and magnesium alloys which were classified as unweldable by traditional fusion welding. It is thus considered to be the most significant development in the area of material joining over the past two decades. Friction stir processing (FSP) was later developed based on the basic principles of FSW. FSP has been proven to be an effective and versatile metal-working technique for modifying and fabricating metallic materials. FSW/FSP of aluminum alloys has prompted considerable scientific and technological interest since it has a potential for revolutionizing the manufacturing process in the aerospace, defense, marine, automotive, and railway industries. To promote widespread applications of FSW/FSP technology and ensure t...
