Principal Scientific contributions from the period 2001-2011: 1) Lidia Benea, Pier Luigi Bonora, Alberto Borello, Stefano Martelli . Wear corrosion properties of nano-structured SiC – nickel composite coatings obtained by electroplating; Wear, Volume : 249, 995-1003 (2001). No of citations 85. doi:10.1016/S0043-1648(01)00844-4. Abstract. Advances in materials performance often require the development of composite systems. Coated materials could be one form to use. The abrasion and corrosion resistance of components can be greatly increased by protective coatings and this is a growing industry of considerable economic importance. These paper aims with a comparative wear corrosion study of pure nickel and Ni–SiC nano-structured composite coating. For wear corrosion tests an apparatus constructed in the laboratory of Electrochemistry, Department of Materials Engineering of Trento University was used. A PMMA cell contained the test solution and a transmission shaft with the tested sample, in the shape of a cylinder (diameter 40mm and height 18mm), connected to an electrical motor. A moving rod held an alumina parallelepiped counterface and the imposing load system thus obtaining a sliding type wear system. All the experiments concerning the effects of the rotation speed and of the applied load on the corrosion behaviour and friction coefficient were carried out using the 0.5 M Na2SO4 neutral solution. The Ecorr values measured at different rotation speed of the cylindrical specimen and different applied loads show some differences between the two types of coatings. Both measurements of electrochemical corrosion and friction coefficient show a better resistance of nano-structured composite coating compared with pure nickel coating. The nano-composite coating show a bigger polarisation resistance and reduced corrosion current density compared with pure nickel coating in moving conditions. The friction coefficient of nano-composite coating is smaller compared with pure nickel coating. The results could be considered as the effect of nano-particles embedded and the fine nano-structured coating resulted. 2) Lidia BENEA , Pier Luigi BONORA, Alberto BORELLO, Stefano MARTELLI, and all.

Abstract. Nanocomposite coatings are obtained by electrochemical deposition of silicon carbide nanoparticles (mean diameter 20 nm) in a nickel plating bath. The influence of nanoparticles on nickel electroplating is studied by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy at cathodic potential, and cathodic polarization diagrams are performed in the electrolyte with and without nanoparticles. We show that incorporation of 20 nm SiC particles into nickel deposits modifies the impedance and cathodic polarization diagrams in correlation with the modification of the surface morphology and crystallinity of the nickel. 3) L.

Tribocorrosion of stellite 6 in sulphuric acid was studied with a pin-on-disc tribometer through test conditions of intermittent friction. The occurrence of a mechanism involving mechanical depassivation during friction and further repassivation during the latency period between two successive friction steps was demonstrated. Polarization curves measurements and wear measurements by weight loss together with microtopography surveys of the wear track allowed to determine the relation giving the evolution of the wear with the duration of the latency period, and the kinetic law ruling the electrochemical repassivation mechanism. 6) Lidia Benea.

With the objective of producing new functional surfaces with enhanced tribo-corrosion properties we have investigated the electrochemical codeposition of composites in which an electrodeposited metal (nickel) is the matrix and a transition metal oxide (ZrO2) is the dispersed phase. This paper describes the effect of ZrO2 dispersed particle codeposition on nickel electrocrystallisation steps as well as the tribocorrosion behaviour of the composite coatings obtained. This system was selected because nickel is an industrially important coating material on steel and other support materials. The cathodic polarization curves have been plotted both in the presence and absence of the insoluble dispersed phase. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was used to obtain additional information on the early steps of nickel and nickel matrix composite electrodeposition. Impedance data were acquired with a Solartron type electrochemical interface and frequency response analyzer. A schematic codeposition mechanism is proposed. The influence of zirconium oxide on the nickel electrodeposition steps is discussed. The tribocorrosion properties of ZrO2–Ni composite coatings (100 µm thickness) have been studied in 0.5 M K2SO4 solution on a pin on disc tribo-corrosimeter connected to an electrochemical cell. The normal force applied was 10 N at a rotation speed of 120 rpm. The counterbody (pin) was a corrundum cylinder (7 mm in diameter), mounted vertically on a rotating head, above the specimen. The lower spherical end (radius = 100 mm) of the pin was then applied against the composite surface (disc). 7) L. Benea, F.Wenger, P. Ponthiaux, J.P. Celis.

Abstract. The combined corrosion-wear degradation of nano-structured Ni–SiC coatings in sliding contacts immersed in electrically conductive solutions is investigated in situ by electrochemical techniques (open-circuit potential measurements, EOC, the potentiodynamic polarization measurements, PD, and the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy). The coating thickness was 50 µm, with an average volume of dispersed phases inside nickel of 20%. The samples were tested in a cell, containing the electrolyte and electrodes, and mounted on a pin-on-disk tribometer, with

the working surface of the specimen facing upwards. Both continuous and intermittent friction tests were carried out. In the intermittent tests, friction was applied periodically: during each cycle, friction was first applied for 2 s at constant sliding speed under constant normal load and then stopped during a latency time of 20 s or 0.5 s. Without friction, the free potential reaches a passive value after immersion in the test solution. When friction force is applied the free potential is shutting down to active values. Under friction the measured current, I can be considered as the sum of two partial currents: one generated by the wear track areas, where the passive film is destroyed and the surface is active; the other one linked to the surface not subjected to friction and that remains in the passive state. A localised corrosion process when subjected to friction in 0.5 M K2SO4 was not observed on nano-structured Ni–SiC composite coatings. The mechanical destruction of the passive film occurs in the wear track by friction and subsequent restoration of the film (repassivation) when friction stops. The wear volume loss increases with sliding forces. 8) A. C. Ciubotariu, L. Benea, M. Lakatos–Varsanyi, V. Dragan. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and corrosion behaviour of Al2O3-Ni nano composite coatings, Electrochimica Acta, 53 (13), 4557-4563 (2008). No of citations 18. DOI: 10.1016/j.electacta.2008.01.020. Abstract. In this paper, the results on the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and corrosion properties of electrodeposited nanostructured Al2O3–Ni composite coatings are presented. The nanocomposite coatings were obtained by codeposition of alumina nanoparticles (13 nm) with nickel during plating process. The coating thickness was 50 µm on steel support and an average of nano Al2O3 particles inside of coatings at 15 vol.% was present. The structure of the coatings was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It has been found that the codeposition of Al 2O3 particles with nickel disturbs the nickel coating's regular surface structure. The electrochemical behavior of the coatings in the corrosive solutions was investigated by polarization potentiodynamic and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy methods. As electrochemical test solutions 0.5 M sodium chloride and 0.5 M potassium sulphate were used in a three electrode open cell. The corrosion potential is shifted to more negative values for nanostructured coatings in 0.5 M sodium chloride. The polarization resistance in 0.5 M sodium chloride decreases in 24 h, but after that increases slowly. In 0.5 M potassium sulphate solution the polarization resistance decreases after 2 h and after 30 h of immersion the polarization resistance is higher than that of the beginning value. The corrosion rate calculated by polarization potentiodynamic curves obtained after 30 min from immersion in solution is smaller for nanostructured coatings in 0.5 M potassium sulphate (4.74 µm/year) and a little bit bigger in 0.5 M sodium chloride (5.03 µm/year). 9) Felicia Bratu, Lidia Benea, Jean-Pierre Celis.

Abstract. Tribocorrosion behaviour of Ni–SiC (30 µm size of SiC particles) micro-composite coatings, with a thickness about 50 µm, sliding against corundum balls in a 0.5 M Na2SO4 solution at room temperature was investigated. In-situ electrochemical measurements were performed on samples of different amount and dispersion state of SiC particles. These composite coatings are used in the automotive industry. The influence of SiC particles dispersion in the nickel matrix on potential, current, coefficient of friction, and wear missing volume was established. The dispersion of SiC particles in the nickel matrix was found to greatly affect the current and potential during fretting-corrosion. The results show that an incorporation of SiC particles in non-uniform agglomerations causes the most active surface and highest material loss. The non-uniformity distribution of SiC particles is due to the non-observance of agitation parameters during homogenizing process. The coatings with uniform distribution posses a good wear-corrosion resistance and almost no wear loss volume at low number of fretting cycles.

Effect of sliding wear on tribocorrosion behaviour of stainless steels in a Ringer's solution, Wear, Volume 261, Issue 9, 987-993, (2006). No of citations 18. DOI: 10.1016/j.wear.2006.03.003. Abstract The dependence of the tribocorrosion of stainless steels AISI 304L and SS 3M® orthodontic archwires sliding against corundum in a Ringer's solution on applied normal force, and sliding velocity, has been investigated using in situ electrochemical noise measurements. Applied normal force and sliding velocity were found to greatly affect current and potential during fretting-corrosion. An increase in normal force and sliding velocity induce an increase in current and a decrease in potential accelerating the depassivation rate of the tested stainless steels. The fluctuations in potential and current during fretting-corrosion are more pronounced at increasing sliding frequency than at increasing applied normal force. Sliding wear affects the repassivation behaviour of the tested materials by increasing the anodic current in the wear track area.

The results are discussed by taking into account the possible influence of disperse phase in the mechanism of electrodeposited copper corrosion. The zirconium oxide particles embedded in the electroplated copper increase the polarisation resistance and decrease the corrosion rates with three times in sulphuric acid as compared with electrodeposited pure copper. 12).

DOI: 10.1080/10426919908914820. Abstract. Electrochemical codeposition is one of the most important methods of providing composites with metallic or nonmetallic compounds as a second phase, in a metallic matrix or nonmetallic matrix. Composite coatings can be prepared by electrodeposition from an electrolytic solution containing a suspension of insoluble ZrO2 particles. Interesting applications have been developed for wear resistance, dry lubrication, anticorrosion, dispersion hardening, and electrocatalysis. The aim of the present study is to obtain a better understanding of the effects of the dispersed particles on the mechanism of copper electrocrystallization and on the incorporation rate of dispersed phase in the deposit. Cathodic polarization curves in electrolytes with and without dispersed particles were plotted to identify their influence in the process of metal electrodeposition. The effect of the operating parameters (current density, concentration of the dispersed phase in the electrolyte) on the concentration of the dispersed phase in the composite layer is described by means of simple mathematical equations.

Revista de Coroziune si Protectie Anticorozivă, Journal of Corrosion and Anticorrosion Protection. Volumul V, no 2, p41-45, 2010. ISSN: 1842-0346. Electrodeposition has three important attributes that make it so convenient for nano-, bio, and micro- technologies:

• it can be used to increase functional materials through complex 3D masks. The key concept is that electrodeposited materials grow from the conductive substrate outward, and the geometry of the growth can be controlled using an insulating mask (so-called through mask electrodeposition). • it can be applied at temperatures close to room temperature in water-based electrolyte. • it can be applied in deposition of several atom thick layers to large (microns, millimetres) dimensions.

TRIBOCOROZIUNEA ÎN APLICA łII INDUSTRIALE ŞI BIOMEDICALE

TRIBOCORROSION IN BIOMEDICAL AND INDUSTRIAL APPLICA TIONS

Lidia BENEA Prof. Dr. Chim. Universitatea Dunărea de Jos din GalaŃi Centrul de CompetenŃe (Cercetare): InterfeŃe – Tribocoroziune şi Sisteme Electrochimice (CC-ITES). Facultatea de Metalurgie şi ŞtiinŃa Materialelor. www.cc-ites.ugal.ro Tribocoroziunea este considerată ca ştiinŃa transformărilor suprafeŃelor ca rezultat al perturbărilor mecanice şi al reacŃiilor chimice care au loc între elementele unui tribosistem expus unui mediu coroziv. În ultimii ani, Tribocoroziunea, o activitate de cercetare care îmbină ştiinŃa coroziunii şi ştiinŃa tribologiei, este în atenŃia inginerilor şi cercetătorilor din diferite domenii de cercetare, contribuind la dezvoltarea unui nou topic de cecetare multidisciplinar mai presus de cercetările convenŃionale. Procesul de tribocoroziune poate fi caracterizat prin sinergia sa, rezultată din cuplarea efectelor mecanice şi de mediu, figura 1. Acest sinergism conduce la o degradare, şi deci la o pierdere de material, care cel mai adesea este mult mai mare decât acela la care ne-am aştepta prin simpla

Changes in surface Changes in surface reactivityreactivity ::Corrosion and Corrosion and passivation passivation kineticskinetics

There is a synergetic interaction between friction and corrosion. Friction induces tension in materials and plastic deformation, residual stress and in a number of materials can even cause structural modifications. Also, friction induces local destruction of the layer formed by material surface interaction with the environment. In general, the adsorbed layers are present on surfaces. Passive layers or corrosion products may also be present on surfaces. The passivable materials, a thin (passive) layer protects material against corrosion. As a result, the reactivity of the surface is deeply modified by the friction on the contact surface and thus it modifies completely the kinetics of corrosion and passivation. On the other hand, corrosion, or electrochemical reactions that occur on the material surface can strongly influence the tribological conditions and / or mechanical wear. The surface composition is modified by electrochemical reactions and particularly by corrosion, as a result the mechanical properties of the surface change too along with the resistance to mechanical wear. Corrosion by-products may contribute to the formation of a third body in the process of degradation. They may also lead to changes in the composition and properties of lubricants. Finally corrosion affects geometric characteristics and surface roughness. Consequently the action of corrosion on a tribo-surface can substantially alter the friction coefficient, and the kinetics and mechanism of wear. The tribocorrosion processes are still poorly understood and explained, the literature being still quite poorly represented. Investigation of the tribocorrosion processes with industrial and biomedical applications involve a multidisciplinary approach to knowledge and understanding of a system composed of a surface of a material, an environment (electrolyte, solution, human fluid) and a mechanical contact. Integration of researchers from several disciplines such as materials science, mechanical engineering, electrochemistry / chemistry, tribology, biology and medicine may lead in the future to better knowledge and interpretation results.
