Purpose The purpose of this paper is to study the effects of Cl− and direct stray current on the soil corrosion of three grounding grid materials. Design/methodology/approach The electrochemical corrosion properties of three grounding grid materials, which include the Q235 steel, Q235 galvanized flat steel and copper, were measured by means of the weak polarization curve method and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy; the corrosion rate of specimens was calculated using the weight loss method; and the specimen surfaces were characterized using the scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis. Findings Results showed that both factors, Cl− and direct stray current, can accelerate the corrosion rate of grounding grid materials. The magnitude of DC stray current density affected the mass transfer type and response frequency of the anode and cathode reaction of grounding materials, while the Cl− contents of the soil only affect the mass transfer rate of the electrode material from the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy diagrams. The electric field generated by the DC stray current caused Cl− directed migration. The larger the DC stray current density, the greater the diffusion process and the greater the weight loss rate of the grounding grid materials that would have a logarithmic relationship with the Cl− content at the same DC stray current density. The corrosion resistance of the three materials is copper > Q235 galvanized flat steel > Q235 flat steel. Originality/value The paper provides information regarding the relationship among Cl−, direct stray current and corrosion of three grounding grid materials by means of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Meanwhile the weight loss rate is the logarithmic relationship with the Cl− content, which is useful for understanding the corrosion mechanism of Q235 steel, Q235 galvanized flat steel and copper under the condition of Cl− and direct stray current in soil.

Abstract The use of ceramic particles in the matrix of alloy coatings during the electroplating process has received considerable attention. These particles can create properties such as high corrosion resistance, insolubility, high-temperature stability, strong hardness, and self-lubrication capability. Herein, an Ni–P–W–TiO2 coating was deposited on an AISI 304L steel substrate using the electroplating method. Electroplating was performed at current densities of 10, 15, 20, and 25 mA · cm–2, and the effect of current density on microstructure, corrosion behavior, and wear behavior was investigated. The coatings were characterized by means of scanning electron microscopy. To investigate corrosion resistance, potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy tests were performed in a 3.5% NaCl aqueous solution. A pin-on-disk test was conducted to test the wear resistance of uncoated and coated samples. Sample micro-hardness was also measured by Vickers hardness testing. Examination of the microstructure revealed that the best coating was produced at a current density of 20 mA · cm–2. The results of potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy tests were consistent with microscopic images. The coating created at the current density of 20 mA · cm–2 had the highest corrosion resistance compared to other coated and non-coated samples. Furthermore, the results of the wear test showed that increasing the current density of the electroplating path up to 20 mA · cm–2 enhances micro-hardness and wear resistance.

Extract ofFicus exasperataleaves was investigated as corrosion inhibitor of mild steel in 1 N H2SO4using conventional weight loss, electrochemical polarizations, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopic studies. The weight loss results showed that the extract ofFicus exasperatais excellent corrosion inhibitor. Electrochemical polarizations data revealed the mixed mode of inhibition. The results of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy shows that the change in the impedance parameters, charge transfer resistance and double layer capacitance, with the change in concentration of the extract is due to the adsorption of active molecules leading to the formation of a protective layer on the surface of mild steel. Scanning electron microscopic studies provided the confirmatory evidence of improved surface condition, due to the adsorption, for the corrosion protection.
