Co-simulation confirmed that the model enforces plating-free charging across cold to hot conditions, while pulse-current tests showed that the continuous limits remain conservative under transient operation. In addition, charge-time analysis revealed an exponential dependence on temperature, leading to a compact correlation for estimating charge durations under varying thermal environments. Unlike detailed electrochemical models, this framework provides a practical, validated function for defining plating-free charging envelopes, directly suited for integration into BMS and supervisory charging strategies.]]> Mon, 01 Jun 2026 11:19:36 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/2692195 https://trid.trb.org/View/2232241 Tue, 29 Aug 2023 16:29:05 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/2232241 https://trid.trb.org/View/2186554 Wed, 31 May 2023 10:16:09 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/2186554 https://trid.trb.org/View/1806547 Thu, 15 Dec 2022 14:15:19 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/1806547 https://trid.trb.org/View/1830681 Thu, 28 Apr 2022 15:42:39 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/1830681 https://trid.trb.org/View/1745900 100mV; and b) are in electric contact in the presence of an electrolyte; they can form a galvanic couple (GC) which could undergo severe corrosive phenomena. In the second part, the paper focuses on the anodized Aluminium (ANOD-Al)-stainless steel (SS) GC. This couple is investigated since: 1) anodized Al and SS are often comprised in high-end braking systems and typically constitute the caliper body (anodized Al) and several components (springs, pins, screws, metal plates, rods, shims etc.) included; and 2) it shows one of the largest corrosion potential difference among all materials included in a braking system (>500mV). As a consequence, the ANOD-Al-SS appears to be one of the most strategic GC whose careful electrochemical investigation will allow the development of future corrosion-proof braking systems. Addressing this point, the manuscript investigates the effect on the corrosion rate of the distance (d) and the area ratio (Aratio) between anodized ANOD-Al and SS components using a suitable model system. This approach allows for the first time to obtain design rules based on the corrodibility of different materials with the final aim of customizing the corrosion protection of each brake system component.]]> Tue, 17 Nov 2020 18:51:33 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/1745900 https://trid.trb.org/View/1745901 1%wt is demonstrated and a reasonable corrosion mechanism is proposed as well. Electrochemical techniques allow to calculate a particularly high corrosion potential (Ecorr) for the sample including 4%wt Al, equals to -572 mV vs. Saturated Calomel Electrode (SCE). The manuscript is aimed at demonstrating that the fine tuning of alloying elements in cast iron is a particularly effective method in order to improve its corrosion resistance, thus allowing the development of future disc-brake rotors with a prolonged operating life. ]]> Tue, 17 Nov 2020 18:51:33 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/1745901 https://trid.trb.org/View/1745899 1000 hours Neutral Salt Spray (NSS) tests). In this manuscript a lab-scale anodization setup is used to investigate the interplay between process parameters, oxide layer morphology and corrosion protection capability. The influence of high anodization steps (AS) and low rest steps (RS) in pulsed anodization waveforms is investigated with respect to the homogeneity and compactness of the obtained oxide layers. In comparison with a conventional set of anodization parameters, which is taken as a standard, the following level of performance are achieved: 1) increase of the corrosion potential (Ecorr) of +98mV; 2) increase of the anodic breakdown potential (Ebp) of +362mV; 3) reduction of the corrosion rate of a factor six; and 4) a polarization resistance 1.5 times higher. This work identifies key parameters in the anodization of Aluminum-Silicon alloys and propose new electrochemical figures of merit in order to: a) extend the corrosion resistance of future braking systems; and b) evaluate ex-situ the anodic layer electrochemical performance.]]> Tue, 17 Nov 2020 18:51:33 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/1745899 https://trid.trb.org/View/1729887 Sat, 29 Aug 2020 20:01:01 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/1729887 https://trid.trb.org/View/1701887 Fri, 19 Jun 2020 14:19:26 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/1701887 https://trid.trb.org/View/1678063 Mon, 03 Feb 2020 07:56:53 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/1678063 https://trid.trb.org/View/1595197 Thu, 23 May 2019 10:23:21 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/1595197 https://trid.trb.org/View/1572254 Fri, 01 Mar 2019 15:50:51 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/1572254 https://trid.trb.org/View/1539917 Thu, 13 Sep 2018 09:13:01 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/1539917 https://trid.trb.org/View/1485581 Thu, 16 Nov 2017 08:23:58 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/1485581
