Surface Corrosion

Several corrosion mitigation methods are generally applied to pipelines exposed to corrosive environments. However, in the case of pre-buried pipelines, the only option for corrosion inhibition is cathodic protection (CP). To apply CP, the required current should be defined even though the pipeline is covered with various oxide layers. In this study, an electrochemical acceleration test was used to investigate the synthetic soil corrosion of a pre-buried pipeline. Potentiodynamic polarization experiments were first conducted to ascertain the corrosion current density in the environment, and galvanostatic measurements were performed to accelerate corrosion according to the operating time. In addition, corrosion current density and the properties of the rust layer were investigated via potentiodynamic polarization tests and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) tests. The variation in surface corrosion was subsequently analyzed via optical microscopy (OM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements. Finally, an empirical equation for the optimized CP current requirement, according to the pipeline service time, was derived. This equation can be applied to any corroded pipeline.

By adding tannic acid and film-forming accelerator in the treatment solution containing titanium and zirconium ions, a golden conversion coating on the surface of aluminum alloy was prepared. The main component and corrosion resistance of the conversion coating were characterized by means of EDS, SEM, XRD and electrochemical workstation. The conversion coating was golden and showed as uniform cubical crystal. results also showed that the main component of the conversion coating was Na3AlF6. In potentiodynamic polarization test, the corrosion current density of the aluminum alloy decreases to 0.083 A•cm-2 from 5.894 A•cm-2, which indicated an obvious improvement of corrosion resistance.

Experimental Findings

TiO2 coatings have recently been used as corrosion resistant materials to protect metals in several environments. In this study, the microstructure, phase composition and morphology under different voltages (20, 30 and 40 V) were investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and atomic force microscopy (AFM), respectively. The coating corrosion performance was examined by potentiodynamic polarization in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution. Experimental findings indicate that the thickness and cracks of the coating rise by increasing voltage. Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy results show that the atomic ratio Ti/O of the coating has an almost constant ratio. Obviously, the defects and cracks on the deposited coatings resulted in corrosive attack due to a considerable increase of the corrosion current density noticed during potentiodynamic polarization experiments. The film produced under 30 V exhibited the lowest corrosion current density [Formula: see text] value of 0.21 µA cm−2 as well as the lowest corrosion potential ([Formula: see text] value of −111.89 mV, which was attributed mainly to the significant decrease of micro-pore density in the coating.

AbstractThe electrochemical behavior of gold dissolution in the Cu2+–NH3–S2O32−–EDTA solution has been investigated in detail by deriving and analyzing the Tafel polarization curve, as this method is currently widely implemented for the electrode corrosion analysis. The dissolution rate of gold in Cu2+–NH3–S2O32−–EDTA solution was determined based on the Tafel polarization curves, and the effects of various compound compositions in a Cu2+–NH3–S2O32−–EDTA mixture on the corrosion potential and corrosion current density were analyzed. The results showed that the corrosion potential and polarization resistance decreased, whereas the corrosion current density increased for certain concentrations of S2O32−–NH3–Cu2+ and EDTA, indicating that the dissolution rate of gold had changed. The reason for promoting the dissolution of gold is also discussed.

Mechanical And Tribological Properties

The coatings ZrB2 and Zr-B-N were deposited by magnetron sputtering of ZrB2 target in Ar and Ar–15%N2 atmospheres. The structure and properties of the coatings were investigated via scanning and transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersion analysis, optical profilometry, glowing discharge optical emission spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis. Mechanical and tribological properties of the coatings were investigated using nanoindentation, “pin-on-disc” tribological testing and “ball-on-plate” impact testing. Free corrosion potential and corrosion current density were measured by electrochemical testing in 1N H2SO4 and 3.5%NaCl solutions. The oxidation resistance of the coatings was investigated in the 600–800 °С temperature interval. The coatings deposited in Ar contained 4–11 nm grains of the h-ZrB2 phase along with free boron. Nitrogen-containing coatings consisted of finer crystals (1–4 nm) of h-ZrB2, separated by interlayers of amorphous a-BN. Both types of coatings featured hardness of 22–23 GPa; however, the introduction of nitrogen decreased the coating’s elastic modulus from 342 to 266 GPa and increased the elastic recovery from 62 to 72%, which enhanced the wear resistance of the coatings. N-doped coatings demonstrated a relatively low friction coefficient of 0.4 and a specific wear rate of ~1.3 × 10−6 mm3N−1m−1. Electrochemical investigations revealed that the introduction of nitrogen into the coatings resulted in the decrease of corrosion current density in 3.5% NaCl and 1N H2SO4 solution up to 3.5 and 5 times, correspondingly. The superior corrosion resistance of Zr-В-N coatings was related to the finer grains size and increased volume of the BN phase. The samples ZrB2 and Zr-B-N resisted oxidation at 600 °C. N-free coatings resisted oxidation (up to 800 °С) and the diffusion of metallic elements from the substrate better. In contrast, Zr-B-N coatings experienced total oxidation and formed loose oxide layers, which could be easily removed from the substrate.

In this study, seven types of mortar test specimens were manufactured with parameters, that is, the surface of the reinforced steel bar was treated with hot dip galvanizing (Zn) and the surface of the test specimen was coated with underwater paint, and four types of inhibitors (DAW, MCI, DCI, and Silcon) were added in mortars respectively. And, the seven types of mortar test specimens were immersed in seawater for 4 years. The corrosion properties of the reinforced steel bars embedded in mortar test specimens were investigated using electrochemical methods. The corrosion potentials of the test specimens with painting on the surface of the specimen and Zn coating on the surface of the steel bar exhibited the noblest and lowest values respectively after one year, however, after 4 years, the specimens of underwater painting and of addition of Silcon inhibitor indicated the noblest and lowest values of corrosion potentials respectively. Furthermore, the painting specimen exhibited the smallest values of corrosion probability as welll as of the corrosion current density, while, addition of MCI inhibitor showed the highest values of both corrosion probability and corrosion current density. Moreover, the painting specimen showed the smallest value of neutralization degree among all the specimens, and the largest value of neutralization degree was observed at the specimen of natural condition (no adding of inhibitor, no painting and no Zn coating). As a result, it is considered that the addition of inhibitors, coating with hot dip galvanizing (Zn), and painting on the surface have the effects not only to inhibit the neutralization degree but also to increase the corrosion resistance of the embedded steel bar.

Conversion Coating

A chemical conversion coating on 5052 aluminum alloy was prepared by using K2ZrF6 and K2TiF6 as the main salts, KMnO4 as the oxidant and NaF as the accelerant. The surface morphology, structure and composition were analyzed by SEM, EDS, FT–IR and XPS. The corrosion resistance of the conversion coating was studied by salt water immersion and polarization curve analysis. The influence of fluorosilane (FAS-17) surface modification on its antifouling property was also discussed. The results showed that the prepared conversion coating mainly consisted of AlF3·3H2O, Al2O3, MnO2 and TiO2, and exhibited good corrosion resistance. Its corrosion potential in 3.5 wt % NaCl solution was positively shifted about 590 mV and the corrosion current density was dropped from 1.10 to 0.48 μA cm−2. By sealing treatment in NiF2 solution, its corrosion resistance was further improved yielding a corrosion current density drop of 0.04 μA cm−2. By fluorosilane (FAS-17) surface modification, the conversion coating became hydrophobic due to low-surface-energy groups such as CF2 and CF3, and the contact angle reached 136.8°. Moreover, by FAS-17 modification, the corrosion resistance was enhanced significantly and its corrosion rate decreased by about 25 times.

Electrochemical Characteristics

In the environment with H2S/CO2 or Na2S, the corrosion behavior of Lanthanum hexaboride (LaB6) was investigated by electrochemistry methods. The results indicated that the corrosion potential (Ecorr) and Rf of LaB6 increased as the partial pressure of H2S increased, while the corrosion current density (Icorr) decreased. In the environment containing Na2S, as the content of Na2S increased, the corrosion potential (Ecorr) and Rf of LaB6 decreased, while the corrosion current density (Icorr) increased. Thus, the addition of H2S into the environment with H2S/CO2 would inhibit the corrosion of LaB6; while in the environment containing Na2S, the increasing of the content of Na2S would accelerate the corrosion of LaB6.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper was to explore the possibility of establishing an empirical correlation between concrete resistivity and reinforcement corrosion rate utilizing the experimental data generated by measuring corrosion current density of reinforced concrete specimens subjected to chloride-induced corrosion at different levels of concrete resistivity. Design/methodology/approach – To generate concrete resistivity vs corrosion current density data in a wide range, ten reinforced concrete specimens were prepared and allowed to corrode under severe chloride exposure. After significantly corroding the specimens, they were removed from the chloride exposure and were subjected to different moisture levels for achieving variation in the resistivity of concrete so that reasonably good number of resistivity vs corrosion rate data can be obtained. Resistivity and corrosion current density tests were conducted for all the ten specimens and their values were measured in wide ranges of 0.8-65 kΩ·cm and 0.08-11 μA/cm2, respectively. Findings – Data generated through this study were utilized to obtain an empirical relationship between concrete resistivity and corrosion current density. The trend of results obtained using the empirical correlation model developed in the present study was in close agreement with that obtained using a theoretical model reported in literature. Originality/value – The empirical correlation between concrete resistivity and reinforcement corrosion rate obtained under this work can be used for evaluation of reinforcement corrosion utilizing the resistivity values measured non-destructively.
