The corrosion behavior of two specially designed austenitic stainless steels (SSs) having different Nickel (Ni) and Manganese (Mn) contents was investigated. Prior to electrochemical tests, SS alloys were solution-annealed at two different temperatures, that is, at 1030°C for 2 h and 1050°C for 0.5 h. Potentiodynamic polarization (PD) tests were carried out in chloride and acidic chloride, whereas linear polarization resistance (LPR) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was performed in 0.5 M NaCl solution at room temperature. SEM/EDS investigations were carried out to study the microstructure and types of inclusions present in these alloys. Experimental results suggested that the alloy with highest Ni content and annealed at 1050°C/0.5 hr has the highest corrosion resistance.

Austenitic stainless steels are considered materials with excellent corrosion resistance, and with acceptable mechanical properties. Therefore they are recommended for various constructional, industrial and biomedical applications. However they are prone to the pitting corrosion in aggressive chloride environments. The aim of this study is to evaluate the corrosion resistance of AISI 316Ti stainless steel with nitric acid passivated surface at the temperature range 22 – 80 °C in 1M acidic chloride solution. Evaluation of the corrosion resistance is based on the results of exposition immersion tests (visual and microscopic observation of attacked surfaces, mass losses of specimens) and the results of the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) tests.

Plasma immersion ion implantation (PIII) of nitrogen is low-temperature surface technology which enables the improvement of tribological properties without a deterioration of the corrosion behavior of austenitic stainless steels. In this paper the corrosion properties of PIII-treated AISI 316L stainless steel surfaces are evaluated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), potentiodynamic polarization (PP) and exposure immersion tests (all carried out in the 0.9 wt. % NaCl solution at 37 ± 0.5 °C) and compared with a non-treated surface. Results of the three performed independent corrosion tests consistently confirmed a significant increase in the corrosion resistance after two doses of PIII nitriding.

Graphene oxide (GO) sheet and ultrasonic field (UF) were successfully employed to produce Ni–B/GO and UF–Ni–B/GO composite coatings on Q235 mild steel by electroless plating. The composite coatings’ structure and surface morphology were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Results showed that GO was successfully co-deposited in the Ni–B alloy. Moreover, UF–Ni–B/GO composite coatings have smoother surface and thicker cross-section than others. The microhardness and corrosion resistance of the sample coatings were determined using Vickers hardness tests, Tafel electrochemical tests and electrochemical impedance measurements (EIS) in 3.5[Formula: see text]wt.% NaCl solution to receive the effect of GO and ultrasonic. The findings indicated that UF–Ni–B/GO exhibited optimum hardness (856[Formula: see text]HV) and enhanced corrosion resistance (6.38 [Formula: see text][Formula: see text] over the Ni–B and Ni–B/GO coatings. Due to these interesting properties of the coating, it could be used as a protective material in the automotive and aerospace industries for parts of machines that were manipulated in high temperature and corrosive environments.

The effect of Ni content on the resistance against corrosion of Fe-36% Ni and Fe-45% Ni alloys in 1 M hydrochloric acid pickling solution was reported. Various electrochemical and spectroscopic techniques such as potentiodynamic cyclic polarization (CPP), open-circuit potential (OCP), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), potentiostatic current-time (PCT), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) have been employed. CPP measurements indicated that the corrosion current and corrosion rate recorded lower values for the alloy that had higher nickel content. OCP curves proved that the presence of high Ni content shifts the absolute potential to the positive potential direction. EIS results revealed that the surface and polarization resistances were much higher for the alloy with higher Ni content. PCT curves also showed that the absolute currents were lower for Fe-45% Ni alloy. All results were in good agreement with others and confirmed clearly that the corrosion resistance in HCl solutions for Fe-45% Ni alloy was higher than that obtained for Fe-45% Ni alloy.

Al foil with high formability and corrosion resistance is highly desired for lithium-ion battery soft packaging. Annealing treatment has a significant impact on the performance of soft packaging Al foil. The effects of both La content and the annealing temperature on the microstructure, mechanical properties, and corrosion behavior of Al-1.5Fe-La alloy was investigated through optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), tensile testing, potentiodynamic polarization testing, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) testing. A higher addition of La resulted in the formation of AlFeLa particles and a refinement of the Fe-rich second phase. The Al-1.5Fe-0.25La alloy had a higher formability and corrosion resistance than the Al-1.5Fe-0.1La alloy. Microstructure analysis indicated that recovery, recrystallization, and grain growth successively occurred in the Al-Fe-La alloy with the increase of the annealing temperature from 200 °C to 250 and 380 °C. After annealing at 250 °C, the Al-Fe-La alloys had the highest corrosion resistance due to refined grain and a high fraction of small-angle grain boundaries.

Abstract Electro-plasma cleaning and deposition is a recently developed electrolytic method for cleaning mill scale and other debris from steel surfaces, and depositing protective metal coatings. Structural steel was processed using these methods and tested for corrosion resistance. Samples included freshly cleaned steel coupons and samples coated with a metallic zinc layer. Tests included linear polarization resistance, QUV weathering, salt fog exposure, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Steel samples cleaned by electro-plasma methods exhibited superior corrosion resistance to those cleaned by shot-blasting. The zinc metal coatings demonstrated potential for long-term corrosion protection.

Vacuum annealing was carried out for the SMAT treated CP-Ti sample at different temperatures. The structure and the properties of the SMAT sample before and after the annealing were analyzed by means of the optical microscope, hardness and polarization curve testing. The results show that, when the annealing temperature of surface nanocrystallized CP-Ti treated CP-Ti (SMAT) was below 350°C, the microstructure and hardness of nanostructured surface was stability, and its corrosion resistance was improved compared to non-annealing one. In particular, the corrosion resistance at 150°C was better than that of the original CP-Ti.

This paper investigates the effects of Ta content on the microstructures, hardness and corrosion behavior of as-cast CoCrFeNiTax alloys. The results indicate that the addition of Ta can change the microstructures of these alloys to dual-phased structures (FCC + HCP), as well as increasing their hardness. This study uses constant galvanostatic/potentiometric methods to measure the polarization curves of CoCrFeNiTa0.1, CoCrFeNiTa0.3 and CoCrFeNiTa0.5 alloys in deaerated 1 M sodium chloride solution at different temperatures. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy is also used to analyze these alloys in sodium chloride solution. The results indicate that the CoCrFeNiTa0.5 alloy has a eutectic structure and the highest hardness. Furthermore, although the CoCrFeNiTa0.5 alloy has the best corrosion resistance, the CoCrFeNiTa0.3 alloy has the best pitting resistance among these alloys.

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.

Nowadays are steels the most used structural material for creation of constructions in different types of industry for lot of applications but suffer from unsatisfactory corrosion resistance in the presence of aggressive chlorides. Steel S355J2 represents common type steel for constructions. Very important property of S355J2 steel is weldability. S355J2 steel was welded by submerged arc welding (SAW) method. Corrosion resistance of welded joint was evaluated by electrochemical methods - linear polarization (LP) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Results from electrochemical tests are general electrochemical characteristics - ECorr, iCorr, vCorr and RP. Environments for testing were solutions with different concentration of chlorides (0.01M, 0.1M and 1M NaCl solution). Difference of corrosion resistance between base material and weld metal is app. 14.5 %. This difference is preserved in all concentrations of tested environments. The highest corrosion resistance was reached by base material in 0.01M NaCl and the lowest corrosion resistance was reached by weld metal in 1M NaCl.
