Abstract

Recent research on sustainable heat-treatment processes highlights the strong potential of vegetable oils as environmentally benign quenching media. This review integrates thermo-physical characteristics, cooling behavior, and mechanical performance reported in key studies from 2010–2024. Vegetable oils demonstrate higher quenching severity (H-value 0.17–0.21) than mineral oils (0.11–0.14), supported by stable viscosity ranges (20.78–110.35 cSt at 40°C; 6.9–33.65 cSt at 100°C) and superior thermal conductivity (0.131–0.182 W/m°C) relative to SAE40 (0.145 W/m°C). Their mechanical performance is consistently favorable: palm kernel oil yields hardness up to 40.85 HRC, cottonseed oil ~33.25 HRC, and groundnut oil produces ~173.8 HV with yield strength reaching 805 MPa. Neem seed oil exhibits exceptional hardness (68.7 HRA) and tensile strength (2122 MPa), while marula oil significantly enhances the hardness and tensile strength of medium-carbon steels. Soybean, sunflower, and canola oils applied to AISI 1045 steel deliver hardness levels of 41–50 HRC. Impact toughness also improves, with neem oil reaching 15 J and additive-modified quenchants containing 5% metal salts achieving up to 131 J. Antioxidant-fortified oils (Irganox L109, TBHQ, Propyl Gallate) further improve oxidation resistance without impairing cooling performance. Overall, properly stabilized vegetable oils represent robust, efficient, and environmentally responsible quenching alternatives for the heat treatment of low- and medium-carbon steels.

Abstract

The increasing demand for sustainable and environmentally friendly corrosion inhibitors has driven research toward green alternatives to conventional toxic inhibitors. This study investigates the corrosion protection performance of garlic extract (Allium sativum) as an eco-friendly green inhibitor for stainless steel 316L in 3.5% NaCl marine environment. The inhibition efficiency was evaluated using electrochemical potentiodynamic polarization techniques, complemented by comprehensive surface characterization through scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and cyclic voltammetry analysis. Electrophoretic deposition (EPD) was employed to apply garlic extract concentrations of 8, 10, and 12 mL onto SS316L specimens. Results demonstrated significant corrosion rate reduction from 0.0082732 mmpy (unprotected specimen) to 0.0014547 mmpy with 12 mL garlic extract treatment, achieving maximum inhibition efficiency of 82%. EIS revealed substantial increase in charge transfer resistance (>170 kΩ), while electrochemical analysis demonstrated mixed-type inhibition behavior with reduced corrosion current densities. SEM-EDX confirmed the formation of protective Fe2+-allicin complex layers on the metal surface, while Raman spectroscopy showed substantial reduction in corrosion products (a-Fe2O3 and y-FeOOH) formation. Cyclic voltammetry demonstrated a five-order-of-magnitude reduction in diffusion rate, confirming exceptional barrier properties. The superior performance is attributed to the chemisorption of sulfur and oxygen-containing compounds in allicin molecules onto active steel sites, forming stable protective films. This green inhibitor demonstrates excellent potential for sustainable corrosion protection in marine and industrial applications, offering an environmentally benign alternative to synthetic inhibitors.
