The influence of Mn 2+/ Ni 2+ mole ratio in electrolytes on the Ni – Mn alloy deposits was studied. The electrodeposition mechanism of Mn with Ni is analyzed by the cyclic voltammogram (CV) and an "induced co-deposition" mechanism is proposed for Ni – Mn alloy electrodeposition. The results show that the Mn content in Ni – Mn alloy deposit and the hardness increased with the increase of Mn 2+/ Ni 2+ mole ratio in electrolytes. When the Mn 2+/ Ni 2+ mole ratio in bath was 2/1, the corrosion current density of the deposit coating was the lowest and the corresponding corrosion potential was higher, and under these conditions the coating with a Mn content of 1.20 wt.% showed good corrosion resistance. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of the alloy coatings exhibited that the morphology of Ni – Mn alloy coatings were different from Pure Ni coating, and when Mn 2+/ Ni 2+ was 2/1, the surface was compact and homogeneous.

Two types of welding methods were performed on austenitic 304 stainless steel: laser welding and TIG welding. The differences of the corrosion characteristics of the welded zones from the two welding methods were investigated with electrochemical methods, such as measurement of the corrosion potential, polarization curves, cyclic voltammogram, etc. The Vickers hardness of all laser-welded zones (WM:Weld Metal, HAZ:Heat-Affected Zone, BM:Base Metal) was relatively higher while their corrosion current densities exhibited a comparatively lower value than those which were TIG welded. In particular, the corrosion current density of the TIG-welded HAZ had the highest value among all other welding zones, which suggests that chromium depletion due to the formation of chromium carbide occurs in the HAZ, which is in the sensitization temperature range, thus it can easily be corroded with an active anode. Intergrenular corrosion was also observed at the TIG-welded HAZ and WM zones. Consequently, we can see that corrosion resistance of all austenitic 304 stainless steel welding zones can be improved via the use of laser welding.

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.

Microstructural optimization of Al-Li alloys plays a key role in the adjustment of mechanical properties as well as corrosion behavior. In this work, Al-5Cu-1Li-0.6Mg-0.5Ag-0.5Mn alloy was homogenized at different temperatures and holding times, followed by aging treatment. The microstructure and composition of the homogenized alloys and aged alloys were investigated. There were Al7Cu4Li phase, Al3Li phase, and Al2CuLi phases in the homogenized alloys. The Al7Cu4Li phase was dissolved with an increase in homogenization temperature and holding time. Al2Cu phase and Al2CuLi phase coarsened during the homogenization process. The alloy homogenized at 515 °C for 20 h was subjected to a two-stage aging treatment. Peak-age alloy, which had gone through age treatment at 120 °C for 4 h and 180 °C for 6 h, was mainly composed of α-Al, Al20Cu2Mn3, Al2CuLi, Al2Cu, and Al3Li phases. Tafel polarization of the peak-age alloys revealed the corrosion potential and corrosion current density to be −779 mV and 2.979 μA/cm2, respectively. The over-age alloy had a more positive corrosion potential of −658 mV but presented a higher corrosion current of 6.929 μA/cm2.

In-situ AlxNiy reinforced aluminium matrix composites (AMCs) were produced by stir-casting route by adding 5, 10 and 15 weight percentage (wt.%) of Ni to AA6061 aluminum alloy. The density, porosity, microstructure, hardness and corrosion behaviour of the as-cast AMCs was studied and compared with that of the as-cast AA6061 alloy. The porosity in all the castings was found to be less than 0.1%. Further, the porosity was found to decrease with increase in Ni addition. Optical microscopy studies showed that in-situ formed AlxNiy was distributed along the dendritic arms. The distribution became non-homogeneous and coarse with increase in AlxNiy content. The coarse distribution of AlxNiy in the AA6061 matrix also resulted in the decrease in hardness of the composite, after an initial increase in hardness till 10 wt.% Ni addition. The open circuit potential (OCP) and corrosion potential (Ecorr) of the AMCs with 5, 10 and 15 wt. of % Ni addition was noble than that of the AA6061 alloy. This was understood to be due to the presence of AlxNiy intermetallic which is known to have a noble corrosion potential than the aluminium alloy. However, the corrosion current (icorr) increased while the polarization resistance (Rp) decreased with increase in Ni addition in the AMC. This indicates that the coarse non-homogeneous distribution of in-situ AlxNiy had a detrimental effect on the corrosion performance of the AMCs.

ABSTRACTThe purpose of this study was to characterize KOH based electrolytes and effects of additives on electro-chemical mechanical planarization. The electrochemical mechanical polisher was made to measure the potentiodynamic curve and removal rate of Cu. The potentiodynamic curves were measured in static and dynamic states in investigated electrolytes using a potentiostat. Cu disk of 2 inch was used as a working electrode and Pt electroplated platen was used as a counter electrode. KOH was used as the electrolyte. H2O2 and citric acid were used as additives for the ECMP of Cu. In static and dynamic potentiodynamic measurements, the corrosion potential decreased and corrosion current increased as a function of KOH concentration. In dynamic state, different potentiodynamic curve was obtained when compared to the static state. The current density did not decrease in passivation region by mechanical polishing effect. The static etch and removal rate were measured as function of KOH concentration and applied voltage. In ECMP system, polishing was performed at 30 rpm and 1 psi. The removal rate was about 60 nm/min at 0.3 V when 5 wt% KOH was used. Also, the effect of additive was investigated in KOH based electrolyte on removal rates. As a result, The removal rate was increased to 350 nm/min when 5wt% KOH, 5vol% H2O2, 0.3 M citric acid were used.
