Yilmaz, A. (author), Ozkan, C. (author), Sietsma, J. (author), Gonzalez Garcia, Y. (author)The effect of ferrite-pearlite and ferrite-martensite phase combinations on the passive layer properties of low carbon steel is investigated in a 0.1 M NaOH solution. Heat treatments were designed to obtain ferrite-pearlite and ferrite-martensite microstructures with similar ferrite volume fractions. Potentiostatic polarisation and...journal article 2021

Yilmaz, A. (author), Traka, K. (author), Pletincx, S. (author), Hauffman, T. (author), Sietsma, J. (author), Gonzalez Garcia, Y. (author)The role of microstructural defects (dislocation density and grain boundary areas) on the passive film properties formed on cold- and hot-rolled interstitial free (IF) steels is investigated in 0.1 M NaOH solution. Electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) shows higher microstructural defect density on cold-rolled samples. Potentiodynamic...journal article 2021

Huynh Thanh Le, T. (author)Corrosion on the car underbody can affect critical parts, which poses safety risks. The current corrosion protection methods such as wax, sealers and coatings are not effective enough and an advance form of corrosion protection is desired. Implementation of smart coatings might be an effective solution. These coatings contain a self-healing...master thesis 2017

Lampert, Felix (author), Christiansen, Alexander Bruun (author), Din, Rameez Ud (author), Gonzalez Garcia, Y. (author), Møller, Per (author)The efficiency of thin hydrogen silsesquioxane (HSQ) −based corrosion barrier coatings on 316L substrates after oxidative thermal curing at 400–550 °C in air was investigated. Infrared spectroscopy and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy showed that an increasing curing temperature leads to progressing coating densification, accompanied by...journal article 2017
