The results reveal that the existence of F-and Cl-ions in the simulated treated water accelerate the corrosion rate of Q235 A steel. The corrosion rate reaches maximum with F-concentration of 50 mg/L, Cl-concentration of 200 mg/L, respectively. However, Q235 A steel would passivate when an applied potential is added to the system. Meanwhile, the initiating passive potential becomes positive with F-, Cl-concentration increasing. There is a little influence of F-, Cl-concentration on the initiating passivation current density. Therefore, it is necessary to control F-, Cl-concentration in the treated water when it is recycled by the pipelines made of Q235 A steel.展开更多

There are two passive regions for all polarization curves. The first should be attributed to passive film formation due to Ti（C,N）, while the second may be due to the presence of Ni. Corrosion current density increases with M02C content increasing, from 2.06×10^-3 to 6.70×10^-3 mA/cm2. It is indicated that the corrosion resistance of Ti（C,N）-based cermets decreases with the increase of Mo2C addition. A skeleton of Ti（C,N） gains is observed after dissolution of Ni. The inner rim of cermets, rich in Mo2C, is corroded along with Ni binder and is more serious with the increase of Mo2C content. The secondary carbide Mo2C can be oxidized and dissolved in sulphuric acid.展开更多

Their corrosion behavior was studied by electrochemical noise （EN） in 4 mol/L NaC1 ＋ 0.01 mol/L Na2S203 solution under slow-strain-rate-testing （SSRT） conditions. Moreover, the characteristics of L-crack＇s surface morphology and potential distribution with scanning Kelvin probe （SKP） before and after SSRT were also discussed. Compared with S-crack, L-crack is propagated and the features of crack propagation can be obtained. After propagation, the noise amplitudes increase with increasing stress and accelerating corrosion, the white noises at low and high frequencies （WE and WH） of the later stage are one order of magnitude larger than that at early stage in the current power spectral densities （PSDs）. The potential PSDs also increase, but WH disappears. In addition, the crack propagation can be demonstrated according to variation of probability distribution, surface morphology and potential distribution.展开更多

The indium modified AP65 exhibits accelerated pitting corrosion and overall corrosion, but there is almost no incubation period at the onset of corrosion. Polarization curve measurements indicate that the indium modified AP65 has more negative corrosion potential, which is an improvement aspect of the electrochemical activation. The corrosion current density increases from 0.126 to 0.868 mA/cm2 with and without 2.0% (mass fraction) indium addition. The mean potentials of AP65 negatively shift from -1.491 V to -1.584 V by adding 2.0% indium. The effect of indium addition on the corrosion performance of AP65 seems to be associated with the decrease of cathode-to-anode area ratio of the alloy, which may change the electrochemical anode and cathode polarization behavior of the alloy.展开更多

The composite was locally produced as a weld band on carbon steel by means of the gas tungsten arc welding process and using nickel as the wetting agent. Samples from the weld band, heat-affected zone and parent metal region were extracted precisely and DC/AC electrochemical tests in combination with techniques such as scanning electron microcopy and energy dispersive spectrometry were conducted. The results of the electrochemical tests show that the corrosion resistance of the parent metal sample is higher than that of the welded composite and the HAZ samples. However, as the corrosion potential （Eco^r） of the parent metal is more positive than other two samples, this becomes the cathode in galvanic couples with two other samples. On the other hand, the weld composite sample is also cathodic due to its more positive Ecorr compared to HAZ sample. This means that the HAZ can be particularly at risk of preferential dissolution. The approach can be used in specific areas on plain carbon steel to locally increase hardness and resistance to abrasion and reduce manufacturing costs.展开更多

The electrochemical corrosion behavior of these three samples was examined in the very aggressive solution of 50% H2SO4(mass fraction) using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS) and potentiodynamic polarization measurements. The results show that magnesium improves in some extent the corrosion resistance of pure Zn in 50% H2SO4(mass fraction) confirmed by EIS test. Results of polarization measurment also demonstrate that small amount of Mg significantly improves the passivation of Zn in the test solution. Results of surface morphology of the samples and EDS analysis reveal that Mg reduced the corrosion attacks to pure Zn.展开更多

The results show that the organic derivative is highly effective with a maximum inhibition efficiency of 70.22% from mass loss analysis, while 74.2% is obtained from polarization tests. Observation of the scanning electron micrographs shows the absence of corrosion products due to electrochemical influence of TTD on the surface morphology of the steel. X-ray diffractometry reveals the absence of phase compounds and complexes on the steel samples after exposure. TTD adsorption on the steel surface obeys the Langmuir, Frumkin and Freundlich adsorption isotherms. Corrosion thermodynamic calculations reveal the inhibition mechanism occurs through chemisorption process and results from statistical analysis depict the strong influence of inhibitor concentration on the electrochemical performance of the TTD.展开更多
