sciforum-044407 | Understanding hydrogen diffusivity in amorphous titania: A combined density functional theory, machine learning, and graph theory study | , , | N/A | N/A |
Show Abstract |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Hydrogen diffusion plays an important role in understanding how materials chemically degrade over time. Open questions regarding the underlying diffusion pathways and whether they lead to the trapping of Hydrogen provide insight into properties such as the incubation time towards hydrogen embrittlement. For the case of polycrystalline materials, answering these questions are non-trivial, as hydrogen can diffuse through two unique environments: (1) bulk crystalline region and (2) grain boundary region. In this work we approximate the grain boundaries using the amorphous bulk phase due to similarities in the short-range atomic order. Density functional theory (DFT) was used to generate amorphous configurations of titania via ab initio molecular dynamics. A spectrum of hydrogen binding energies was then calculated using a multitude of oxygen sites with varying coordination number. Classical molecular dynamics were then performed on a larger titania system using a machine learning force field. A graph-based order parameter was then used to characterize the classically derived amorphous phase space and was mapped onto the oxygen coordination number. Our results qualitatively indicate that hydrogen diffusivity can be tailored to either inhibit or induce diffusion based on the specific local oxygen environments present in the amorphous phase. |

sciforum-044466 | The fatty acids based organofunctional silane protective coatings for concrete | , , | N/A | N/A |
Show Abstract |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Concrete is a strong and hard material used for construction but it can undergo corrosion as a result of water permeation inside the concrete structures. As together with water many aggressive substances get inside the concrete structures, the surface absorbability of concrete is an important factor determining the stability of concrete constructions [1, 2]. One of the effective methods of concrete protection from the adverse effects of water is covering its surface with a protecting coat restricting the permeation of aggressive agents. The silicon-based compounds, such as silanes, siloxanes and silicones have been often applied in building industry [3]. Organofunctional alkoxysilanes are monomeric silicon compounds that as a result of hydrolysis and condensation produce a stable polysiloxane coating that covers the pore surface. The coating restricts the water permeation but permits free permeation of vapor towards outside of a given concrete element [4]. Another approach applied in order to restrict the adverse effect of water on concrete is the addition of hydrophobic admixtures at the stage of its production [5]. The hydrophobic agents such as fatty acids, their salts (soap), vegetable oils, wax emulsions and animal fats, change the surface tension in pores and cracks, which limits water permeation [5-7]. Our earlier papers present the synthesis of alkoxysilyl derivative based on rapeseed oil (RPTMS) by the reaction of nucleophilic substitution of 3-chloropropyltrimethoxysilane with appropriate sodium salts (rapeseed soap) [8]. The obtained silane has been used for production of wood [8] and steel [9] surface coating protecting from the adverse effect of water. In this paper we report on an alternative method of synthesis of the above-mentioned silane (RPTMS) from the commercially available oleic acid (OPTES) and propose its use for making concrete surface coating protecting from water permeation inside its structure.

sciforum-045223 | Metallic Coatings for Mitigating Marine Corrosion | N/A | N/A |
Show Abstract |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Thermally sprayed aluminium (TSA) coatings are increasingly used to mitigate corrosion of offshore pipelines and structures. With the increase in the use, the knowledge related to their performance is growing. However, it would appear that the increased engineering applications is not supported by extensive research and in many cases due to improper application or lack of quality control, some issues are beginning to emerge. The data available in literature on the low and high temperature performance of these coatings is limited. To address the issues highlighted above, TWI carried out several research projects, including JIPs, collaborative projects and PhD projects, to quantify the effect of coatings damage in simulated service conditions at various temperatures. The research thus far indicate that TSA is capable of protecting steel at various temperatures in seawater even when a small through-thickness defect in the coating is present. The presentation will disseminate the results of various projects carried out at TWI and summarize the requirements that needs to be considered while selecting these coatings for offshore service. |

sciforum-045004 | Why data mining? | N/A | N/A |
Show Abstract |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Data mining (DM) is not a well-understood subject. Data mining is perceived as being a mystical, not mathematically rigorous methodology that often produces results without any validation or verification. Some of that is a correct perception. Indeed, few mathematical theorems demonstrate the rigorous validity of Data Mining. We need to interest more mathematicians in this field—a field that was born from Biology and not from Mathematics. Then, why use it if it is not mathematically fully validated? Simply, it is the best strategy we have knowledge and data are sparse, incomplete, or imprecise. We do not use this technique in a well-defined and well-understood problem where models have been proven and validated. Instead, we use DM when those mechanistic/deterministic models fail, knowledge is insufficient, but data is abundant. Data Mining comprises several mathematical techniques. They fulfill different needs: Expert System is a reasoning-based technique that is useful when knowledge is available and rules on a system’s behavior can be derived. One part of an Expert System is a technique now known as Block-Chain (originally as Black-Board). Information is shared securely. A sharing partner can acquire someone else’s information as long they add information to the blackboard. This technique was popularized by the Bitcoin industry and is now being rapidly accepted by Banks. Expert Systems are used mainly when knowledge is available. Additional information can be obtained by forming knowledge trees that are concatenated. Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) are techniques that can be used when only data instead of knowledge is available. The approach "mimics" the brain's "Pattern-Recognition" capabilities. It is mainly used to extract knowledge from data. There are two main types of ANN: Supervised and unsupervised learning. As an example of Supervise d learning are those ANN tools used to discover relationships between the dependent (output) and independent (input) variables. The non-supervised ANN are frequently used as excellent tools for Data Compression and for estimating the most probable values in incomplete data. Those main techniques get help from Fuzzy Logic, which enables us to deal with the data's uncertainties or with incomplete knowledge that is available. Search Techniques, such as Genetic algorithms (an exciting and fun option instead of Optimization techniques). Traditional Optimization techniques and Statistics are commonly used too as part of Data Mining. In this paper, I will address each technique's fundamentals, discuss the validity of the results, and guide the reader at the best choices for a given problem type. We will close the paper with examples on using the techniques for alloy design and stress corrosion cracking in Nuclear reactors, time permitting. |

sciforum-044950 | Investigation of the anti-corrosive effect of tannic acid embedded in silica coatings on Zn substrates | , , | N/A |
![]() |
Show Abstract |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Abstract: The replacement of environmentally harmful chromate coatings has been of great interest to the electrochemical industry. Compact silica coatings are a widely discussed inorganic coating alternative, to replace previously used toxic materials. Silica offers a feasible and simple method of passive corrosion protection, with the option of enhancement by incorporating different inhibitors into the matrix. Tannic acid is a non-toxic substance, that acts as cathodic corrosion inhibitor, by forming metal-tannate protective barriers. [1,2] The present study discusses the addition of different concentrations of tannic acid in nano-scale silica coatings, which were prepared by sol-gel technique and dip-coating method on Zn substrates. Long term corrosion measurements were carried out on the prepared substrates to check their durability and corrosion resistance. The thin layers were characterized by Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) and Potentiodynamic Polarization Curves. It has been concluded that silica coatings containing tannic acid show promising EIS values and corrosion current densities, compared to the simple silica coatings. References: [1] E.Kushimerek, E.
