Tungsten carbides (WC) are widely used as wear resistant components such as seal, valves, rings, nozzle and bearings. But in some processing operations, the environment necessarily includes severe corrosion or extremes of temperatures. In paper reveal, the corrosion performance of commercial cobalt tungsten carbide (WC-6%Co) and nickel tungsten carbide (WC-9%Ni) in seawater with 3.5% salinity. The experiment was performed in four different temperatures (20°C, 40°C, 60°C and 80°C) and the surface structure by corrosion attack was reveal under SEM. TheIcorrvalue of WC-9%Ni is lower than WC-6%Co, elucidate that WC-9%Ni is better in corrosion resistance compare to WC-6%Co. As the temperature increased, the corrosion rate for every material increased as expected. Decreasing in hardness value for both materials reveal that, the material’s hardness decrease after corrosion has attacked.

Abstract NIROSTA 4305 is an austenitic alloy with a high sulfur content. The alloy is typically used for machined parts. As with other austenitic steels, it is necessary to machine with good-quality high-speed steel or tungsten carbide tools. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, elasticity, and tensile properties. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as forming, heat treating, machining, and joining. Filing Code: SS-854. Producer or source: ThyssenKrupp Nirosta GmbH.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to study systematically the corrosion behavior of AZ31 magnesium (Mg) alloy with different concentrations of bovine serum albumin (BSA) (0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 5.0 g/L). Design/methodology/approach Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and potential dynamic polarization tests were performed to obtain corrosion parameters. Scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) was used to analyze the local electrochemical activity of the surface film. Atomic force microscope (AFM), Scanning electron microscope-Energy dispersive spectrometer and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy were used to determine the surface morphology and chemical composition of the surface film. Findings Experimental results showed the presence of BSA in a certain concentration range (0 to 2.0 g/L) has a greater inhibitory effect on the corrosion of AZ31, however, the presence of high-concentration BSA (5.0 g/L) would sharply reduce the corrosion resistance. Originality/value When the concentration of BSA is less than 2.0 g/L, the corrosion resistance of AZ31 enhances with the concentration. The adsorption BSA layer will come into being a physical barrier to inhibit the corrosion process. However, high-concentration BSA (5.0 g/L) will chelate with dissolved metal ions (such as Mg and Ni) to form soluble complexes, which increases the roughness of the surface and accelerates the corrosion process.

Piping systems at gathering stations in the oil and gas industries often fail due to corrosion attacks from the brine water solution containing 8% NaCl that flows through the system. This solution is highly corrosive on the API 5L grade B steel pipes, thereby shortening its lifespan, with an increase in the frequency of pipe replacements. However, the corrosion resistance of API 5L grade B pipes can be improved by using chromate and molybdate inhibitors. Therefore, the objective of this research is to improve the corrosion resistance of the steel pipes using sodium chromate (Na2CrO4) and sodium molybdate (Na2MoO4) inhibitors with concentrations of 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1,0%. This research also aim to determine the optimum concentration of inhibitors to produce minimum corrosion rate, by testing the brine water solution containing 8% NaCl through the potentiodynamic polarization method. The results show that generally, the addition of sodium chromate and sodium molybdate inhibitors to the brine solution causes the steel pipes to be more resistant to corrosion. Furthermore, the sodium chromate inhibitor concentration of 0.6% produces the greatest corrosion potential of – 400 mV with the lowest rate of 0.38 mpy, while sodium molybdate concentration of 0.4% produces the highest corrosion potential of – 385 mV with the lowest rate of 0.34 mpy. The results of SEM observations at 0.4% sodium molybdate concentration showed that the corrosion inhibition/passivation effect of the inhibitor made the steel surface smoother, while the sodium chromate inhibitor at similar percentage failed to reach the optimal concentration to inhibit the corrosion process.

AbstractThe corrosion properties of γ′-strengthened Co-xNi-Al-W-Cr (where x=15, 20, 25, and 30 at.%) superalloys were investigated in the mixture of 75 wt.% Na2SO4+25 wt.% NaCl at 900°C. The results showed that the corrosion behavior is associated with both sulfuration and oxidation processes. It was demonstrated that increasing the addition of Ni effectively promoted the formation of continuous Al2O3 scales, so that the hot corrosion resistance could be improved. When Ni content is more than 20 at.%, a large amount of Ni3S2 precipitates during the corrosion process. Sulfuration can destroy the integrity of the corrosion layer and increase the activity of oxygen. In this way, the internal oxidation of the alloys becomes more serious. Therefore, it is recommended that the optimum Ni addition is about 20 at.% for new type Co-Ni-Al-W-Cr superalloys.
