- Um roteiro para a produção de metal duro com maior resistência à corrosãoPublication . Ferro Rocha, Alexandre; Senos, A.M.R.; Bastos, A.C.; Ferreira, M.G.S.RESUMO: Com o objetivo de racionalizar o desenvolvimento de compósitos de metal duro com maior resistência à corrosão, realizou-se um estudo sistemático da influência de vários parâmetros que determinam o seu desempenho. Neste trabalho apresentam-se resultados da influência de parâmetros relacionados com a constituição do material (tipo de ligante e tamanho de grão de carboneto de tungsténio - WC) e de parâmetros do ambiente de serviço (pH e temperatura). O estudo socorreu-se principalmente de métodos electroquímicos e de análise da superfície.
- A preliminary comparison of the corrosion behaviour of additively and conventionally manufactured 18Ni300 maraging steel for mouldsPublication . Ferreira, Daniel; Ferro Rocha, Alexandre; Proença, Carla Sofia; Bastos, A.C.; Oliveira, Filipe; Oliveira, Jose MartinhoABSTRACT: The corrosion behaviour of a maraging steel 18Ni300 manufactured by Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) was compared to that of a conventional tool steel. Electrochemical test conditions were chosen to approximate the corrosive environments encountered during injection moulding of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) parts. The corrosion behaviour of the steel produced by both routes was evaluated before and after an ageing treatment at 510 ºC for six hours. Cuboid specimens were fabricated and a polished area of 100 mm2 was immersed in a 0.1M HCl solution for 7 days. Open circuit potential (OCP) and polarization curves were used to monitor the material exposed to the corrosive environment. The obtained results indicate that the conventionally produced aged steel is less susceptible to corrosion and that the steel manufactured by L-PBF (not aged condition) showed better resistance to pitting.
