Purpose This study aims to investigate the electrochemical corrosion performance of high velocity oxygen fuel (HVOF) sprayed WC–12Co coating in 3.5 Wt.% NaCl solution, which provided a guiding significance on the corrosion resistance of H13 hot work mould steel. Design/methodology/approach A WC–12Co coating was fabricated on H13 hot work mould steel using a HVOF, and the electrochemical corrosion behaviors of WC–12Co coating and substrate in 3.5 Wt.% NaCl solution was measured using open circuit potential (OCP), potentiodynamic polarization curve (PPC) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) tests. Findings The OCP and PPC of WC–12Co coating positively shift than those of substrate, its corrosion tendency and corrosion rate decrease to enhance its corrosion resistance. The curvature radius of capacitance curve on the WC–12Co coating is larger than that on the substrate, and the impedance and polarization resistance of WC–12Co coating increase faster than those of substrate, which reduces the corrosion process. Originality/value The electrochemical corrosion behaviors of WC–12Co coating and substrate in 3.5 Wt.% NaCl solution is first measured using OCP, PPC and EIS tests, which improve the electrochemical corrosion resistance of H13 hot work mould steel.

The microstructures and electrochemical corrosion behaviors of die-cast Mg-4Al-0.4Mn-xPr (x=0, 1, 4 wt.%) alloys have been investigated. Electrochemical behaviors of all alloys are described by open circuit potential test, potentiodynamic polarization test and electrochemical impedance spectroscope in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution. The results show that the α-Mg grain is refined and the continuous net β phase appears gradually with increasing the content of Pr in the Mg-4Al-0.4Mn alloys. Moreover, the β phase plays a role of galvanic cathode in AM40 alloy and corrosion barrier in Pr-containing alloys, respectively. Electrochemical measurements show that Pr can improve corrosion resistance of Mg-4Al-0.4Mn alloy in the 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution, and corrosion rate decreases with increasing Pr content.

The effect of Cu addition on the electrochemical corrosion behavior of Ni3Al intermetallic alloy was investigated by potentiodynamic polarization, open-circuit potential, linear polarization resistance, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy in 1.0 M H2SO4solution. Performance of the pure elements (Cu, Ni, and Al) was also evaluated. In general, Cu addition improved the corrosion resistance of Ni3Al. Electrochemical measurements show that corrosion resistance of Ni3Al-1Cu alloy is lower than that of other intermetallic alloys and pure elements (Ni, Cu, and Al) in 1.0 M H2SO4solution at 25°C. Surface analysis showed that the Ni3Al alloys are attacked mainly through the dendritic phases, and Cu addition suppresses the density of dendritic phases.

Electrochemical corrosion behavior of epoxy aluminum coating immersed in 3.5%NaCl solution was investigated using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). SEM was also used to analyze the surface images of coating, and the failure mechanism was discussed as well. The experimental results showed that corrosive species can penetrate into coatings and reach the coating/substrate interface promptly, causing the decrease of electro-resistance and the beginning of electrochemical corrosion at the coatings/metal interface. The coating was compact and continuous at beginning, while the blisters and cavities appeared after corrosion, which were formed osmotic pressure created by corrosion species penetration.

Electrochemical corrosion of as-cast and annealed zirconium-based bulk metallic glass (BMG) Zr48Cu36Al8Ag8 in 0.1 M NaCl solution was investigated in this work. The as-cast specimen, in complete amorphous form, contained null percent of crystal phase (denoted as 0C); however, the annealed ones contained 11, 25, 50, 75 and 100 % crystal phase (denoted as 11C, 25C, 50C, 75C and 100C, respectively) determined by the annealing duration of 0C specimen at 471 °C. Through monitoring of open circuit potential (OCP), measurements of direct-current polarization resistance (PR), Tafel plot (TP), cyclic anodic potentiodynamic polarization (CAPD), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), we found that the corrosion behavior of the Zr48Cu36Al8Ag8 was detremined by the the crystal phase present in the specemns dominated by the annealing durations. The corrosion resistance decreased in the order: 25C > 11C > 0C > 50C > 75C > 100C. This result revealed that the corrosion resistance inclined to be better and reached a mxmium with increasing the percentgae of the crystal phase from 0 to 25%; however, it decreased with further increasing the crystal phase over 25%. A corrosion mechanism is proposed to rationalize the sequence of corrosion resistance. According to the mechanism, the remained free volume and residual strain energy are responsible for the specimens containing crystal phase less than 25% (i.e., 0C, 11C and 25C); whereas crystal defects such as grain boundaries governed the corrosion of those containing crystal phase more than 25 % (i.e., 50C, 75C and 100C).

In this paper, two kinds of micro-arc oxidation (MAO) coatings on TA2 with different thickness were prepared by controlled oxidation time and then were characterized for their composition, crystalline structure, and surface morphology. The effect of MAO treatment on electrochemical corrosion behaviors of TA2 in 3.5% NaCl solution were studied by the electrochemical measurements including open circuit potential (OCP), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potentiodynamic polarization curves. The results indicate that the electrochemical behavior of MAO coating is related to the coating structure. OCP can be used to evaluate the porosity of MAO coating. More positive OCP indicates coating with lower porosity and larger resistance obtained from EIS. The MAO treatment can significantly enhance the corrosion resistance of TA2, but the thickness increase of MAO coating could not further improve the corrosion resistance. In addition, because of the increase in effective surface area, the MAO treatment may enhance the cathode action of TA2 when the galvanic cell is composed of TA2 and other more negative metal, which in turn promotes the corrosion of negative metal.

Ti-6Al-4V alloys are typically used for biomedical implants, aerospace components and offshore equipment, where corrosion resistance is critical. In the present paper, the electrochemical corrosion behaviors of Ti-6Al-4V alloys made by different traditional processing and 3D printing technologies in seawater, 3.5 wt.% NaCl, 3.5 wt.% HCl, 5 wt.% HCl and 10 wt.% HCl solutions were studied through polarization curve and electrochemical impedance spectra (EIS) analyses. The influences of microstructure and printing parameters on the corrosion behaviors of Ti-6Al-4V alloys were analyzed. In addition, the corrosion current density, film resistance and charge transfer resistance of traditionally processed Ti-6Al-4V and 3D printed Ti-6Al-4V in the five solutions were compared. The results show that Ti-6Al-4V possesses a better corrosion resistance in seawater than in 3.5 wt.% NaCl, and that the corrosion rate increases with the HCl concentration. Besides, 3D printed Ti-6Al-4V shows a higher corrosion rate in comparison with traditionally processed Ti-6Al-4V because pores are effortless to enrich Cl-. Finally, the ratio of laser power to its scanning speed and the phase constituent composition of the alloy have slight influences on its electrochemical corrosion behavior. It is suggested that for the 3D printed alloy, the deterioration of mechanical properties induced by corrosion damage during servicing should be assessed and considered.

Electrochemical corrosion behavior of ternary tin-zinc-yttrium (Sn-9Zn-xY) solder alloys were investigated in aerated 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution using potentiodynamic polarization techniques, and the microstructure evolution was obtained by scanning electron microscope (SEM). Eight different compositions of Sn-9Zn-xY (x = 0, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06, 0.08, 0.10, 0.20, and 0.30 wt.%) were compared by melting. The experimental results show that when the content of Y reached 0.06 wt.%, the grain size of Zn-rich phase became the smallest and the effect of grain refinement was the best, but there was no significant effect on the melting point. With the increases of Y content, the spreading ratio first increased and then decreased. When the content of Y was 0.06 wt.%, the Sn-9Zn-0.06Y solder alloy had the best wettability on the Cu substrate, which was increased by approximately 20% compared with Sn-9Zn. Besides, the electrochemical corrosion experimental shows that the Y can improve the corrosion resistance of Sn-9Zn system in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution, and the corrosion resistance of the alloy is better when the amount of Y added is larger within 0.02–0.30 wt.%. Overall considering all performances, the optimal performance can be obtained when the addition amount of Y is 0.06.

The microstructure and corrosion resistance in H2S environments for various zones of X80 pipeline steel submerged arc welded joints were studied. The main microstructures in the base metal (BM), welded metal (WM), coarse-grained heat-affected zone (CGHAZ), and fine-grained heat-affected zone (FGHAZ) were mainly polygonal ferrite and granular bainite; acicular ferrite with fine grains; granular bainite, ferrite, and martensite/austenite constituents, respectively. The corrosion behavior differences resulted from the microstructure gradients. The results of the micro-morphologies of the corrosion product films and the electrochemical corrosion characteristics in H2S environments, including open circuit potential and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, showed that the order of corrosion resistance was FGHAZ > BM > WM > CGHAZ.

Purpose The conventional method for evaluation of corrosion resistance of aluminum flakes is based on the volume of evolved hydrogen in acidic and basic environments. This study aims to introduce electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) as a method to evaluate corrosion resistance of aluminum flakes. Design/methodology/approach Aluminum flakes with different surface modifications were compressed to build a disk. Then, the disks were examined by EIS in NaCl solution. Also, the corrosion resistance of the flakes was evaluated by the conventional method. Findings The results revealed applicability of EIS for evaluation of corrosion resistance of aluminum flakes. Originality/value Application of EIS to evaluate corrosion resistance of aluminum flakes is novel. As it can provide fast, reliable and quantitative estimation of the corrosion resistance of the aluminum flakes in the 3.5 per cent NaCl solution. This medium is highly encountered for the aluminum flakes used in organic coatings, that is why test in NaCl solution is more convenient compared to the conventional methods using acid and alkaline conditions.

With the application upgrade of alloy 718 in the marine oil exploitation, higher corrosion resistance demands has been presented for structure design and reasonable material application of drilling and production equipments; thus there is an urgent need to understand influences of grain size on corrosion behavior of such alloy in sea water environment. In this experiment, different solution treatments are applied to nickel-based alloy 718. As a result, specimens with grain size varied from ASTM No. 9 to No. 3.5 grades. The influences of grain size on the electrochemical behaviors in simulated sea water (3.5% sodium chloride solution) are investigated using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and polarization curves. Alloy 718 shows good corrosion resistance in this electrolyte solution, however, grain size still has an effect on its electrochemical corrosion behaviors to a certain extent. With the time going, testing results show that coarse-grained alloys with larger grain size have higher impedance values and smaller corrosion current densities, indicating a better corrosion resistance than fine-grained specimens. However, when the grain size increases further, the corrosivity resistant nature of alloy 718 would decline. Testing results show that specimen with size of ASTM No. 5 has the best corrosion resistance.
