The corrosion of iron, copper and brass alloy has been investigated in different mediumi.e. HNO3, H3PO4, H2SO4, HCl, CH3COOH. The study reveals that corrosion rate increases in the order iron > copper > brass and for the medium the corrosion follows the order HNO3> H3PO4> H2SO4> HCl > CH3COOH. The rate of corrosion increases with increasing concentration of acid and with increase in time.

Abstract This paper presents the experimental determination of the dependence of emissivity of brass on surface roughness and temperature. The investigation was conducted using the infrared thermographic technique on brass alloy C27200 workpieces with different degrees of surface roughness, during the continuous cooling process. The results obtained showed that the emissivity of the chosen brass alloy increases with greater surface roughness and decreases during the cooling process, its value ranging from 0.07 to 0.19. It was concluded that surface roughness has a greater influence on the increase of the emissivity at higher temperatures, which can be seen in the three-dimensional infrared images. Multiple regression analysis confirmed a strong correlation between the examined parameters and the emissivity, and an original multiple regression model was determined.

The purpose of this study is to determine the value of corrosion rate influenced by coastal environment and seawater to nickel as a collimator base material for the application of boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT). In this research, the authors used 99.9% pure nickel as the reference material. Corrosion testing was carried out to determine the rate of corrosion of nickel as a base material for BNCT. After the specimens were formed, the test specimens were then corroded for 12 weeks, with various conditions such as indoor, outdoor environment, static seawater, and moving seawater. The results of this study indicated that in corrosion testing with indoor condition, the corrosion rate values are 0.61-1.00 mpy. For outdoor condition, the corrosion rate is 0.89-1.34 mpy. Meanwhile, at static seawater conditions, the corrosion rate is 0.97-1.24 mpy. Lastly, for moving seawater condition, the corrosion rate is 1.64-1.91 mpy. The results showed that corrosion resistance was relatively the same for all nickel exposed to corrosion in the coastal environment. Therefore, in regards to corrosion resistance, using nickel as a collimator base material for BNCT applications is considered as safe.Keywords: BNCT, Nickel, Corrosion, Coastal Environtment, Sea Water

Corrosion of steel reinforcement is one of the biggest problems facing all countries in the world like bridges in the beach area and marine constructions which lead to study these problems and apply some economical solutions. According to the high cost of repair for these constructions, were studied the effect of using kind of chemical compounds sodium nitrite(NaNO2) and sodium silicate(Na2SiO3) as corrosion inhibitors admixture for steel bars that immersed partially in electrolyte solution (water + sodium chloride in 3% conc.) (Approximately similar to the concentration of salt in sea water). The two inhibitors above added each one to the electrolyte solution at concentrations (0.5%, 1% and 2%) for both of them.      The results were  corrosion rate for steel sample that's immersed partially in salt solution was higher than corrosion rate of steel bar that's immersed partially in electrolyte solution with inhibitors  also the two corrosion inhibitors (sodium nitrite and sodium silicate) that added to the electrolyte solution were working successfully to prevent and inhibit the corrosion by using weight loss technique with best percent of 0.5% sodium nitrite ( efficiency 94.1% ) and best percent of 2% sodium silicate ( efficiency 92.5%).

The Tafel extrapolation and linear polarization methods were used as effective measures for determining the corrosion susceptibility of a spheroidized 0.35%C steel with sea water as the electrolyte. Eight pieces of steel were machined to length 5mm by 10mm in diameter. Two pieces each were heat treated at 600°C, 700°C and 800°C respectively and two pieces left as control. Electro-chemical experiments were carried out to obtain the best potential and anodic current of samples immersed in an electrolyte (seawater) at varying anodic potential of-0.7mv, -0.6mv, -0.5mv and-0.4mv respectively. The results showed that the sample with the least corrosion rate were the samples spheroidized at 700°C. They appeared to have the highest electrode potential value of-0.6mv and 800°C spheroidized samples had the least electrode potential value of-0.65mv at the end of 2000seconds respectively. From the results obtained, the samples spheroidized at 700°C appeared to be most suitable for seawater environment.

The corrosion behavior of pipeline steel containing 1%Cr is studied by using immersion experiment. The corrosion rust is characteried with macroscopic/microscopic surface morphology, corrosion kinetics and corrosion phases. The results demonstrate that the main corrosion products are lepidocrocite and goethite, Cr-rich compound consists of the inner layer. The corrosion process could be divided into three stages. At stage 1, the corrosion rate decreases fast, and the distributed corrosion products are formed. At stage 2, the granular corrosion products appear on coupons surface gradually, and a plain corrosion rate is obtained. At stage 3, a compact and dense corrosion layer attaches to coupons surface, and corrosion rate decreases mildly.

The bio‐fouling and corrosion characteristics of 60/40 brass were investigated in the Palk Bay waters of the Mandapam Coast, India, over a period of a year. The experimental methods included corrosion rate by weight loss measurement and analysis of the corrosion product by X‐ray diffraction. The bio‐fouling characteristics of 60/40 brass were studied in terms of seasonality of recruitment of organisms and quantification of the fouling community development pattern. The XRD analysis of the products on brass threw more light on the protective nature of the compounds formed and their impact on the overall corrosion rate of the material. The organisms found in fouling deposits on brass included algae, bryozoans and hydroids. The results of the study are discussed in the light of the sea‐water characteristics and monsoonal effects.

The purpose of this research is to investigate the corrosion rate of low carbon steel in saline environment. The influence of variety of conditions that represent the actual conditions in practice such as the flow velocity and solution composition, particularly Na+, Cl-and SO4-2, content were performed. Weight loss test of low carbon steel in the lab was conducted to determine the corrosion rate data in stagnant and flowing seawater for comparison to investigate the effect of flow velocity of sea water on the corrosion behavior of the low carbon steel. Results show that the corrosion rate of low carbon steel is increased by increasing the flow of seawater, but at very high velocities the corrosion rate was recorded to be decreased. XRD results show that the corrosion products contain both Fe2O3and FeO(OH).
