Abstract This paper presents an investigation on corrosion behavior of Sn-1.0Ag-0.5Cu-XAl (X = 0, 0.1, 0.5, 1.0) by means of polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution. The results show that addition of aluminum into SAC105 shifts the corrosion current density and passivation current density towards more positive values. It is also found that with an increase in aluminum concentration in SAC105 solder alloy, the corrosion current density increases and polarization resistance decreases. This suggests that SAC105 with the highest concentration of Al has the lowest corrosion resistance. In this case, the corrosion behavior seems to be attributed to anodic dissolution of aluminum and Sn-matrix.

This paper presents an investigation on the corrosion behavior of five solders by means of polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements. The Sn–9Zn and Sn–8Zn–3Bi solder, in comparison with the Sn–3.5Ag–0.5Cu and Sn–3.5Ag–0.5Cu–9In solder, were tested in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution and 0.1 wt% adipic acid solution, respectively. The Sn–37Pb solder was for reference in this work. The polarization curves indicated that the Sn–9Zn and Sn–8Zn–3Bi solder showed the worst corrosion resistance both in the salt and acid solutions, in terms of corrosion-current density, corrosion potential, linear polarization resistance, and passivation-current density. Meanwhile, the Sn–3.5Ag–0.5Cu solder remained the best corrosion characteristics in both solutions. It was found that due to microstructure alteration, Bi additive to the Sn–9Zn solder improved the corrosion behavior in the salt solution, whereas decreased that in the acid solution. However, the additive of In degraded the Sn–3.5Ag–0.5Cu solder in both solutions. The EIS results agreed well with the noble sequence of the five solders subjected to the two solutions with polarization. The equivalent circuits were also determined. Nevertheless, the four Pb-free solders exhibited acceptable corrosion properties since there was not much difference of key corrosion parameters between them and the Sn–37Pb solder.

Two kinds of Co-based coatings were obtained through the laser cladding (LC) and plasma transfer arc (PTA) process. The phase composition and microstructure of the coatings were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The corrosion behaviour of the different Co-based alloy coatings in 3.5wt% NaCl solution were compared by means of open-circuit potential (OCP), polarization curve and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). XRD and SEM measurements demonstrated that the microstructures of the two different Co-based coatings were composed of primary solid solution γ-Co and eutectic structure Cr23C6, whereas, fish-bone typed (CoCrW)6C was also detected in the coating produced by PTA. The polarization curves and EIS results showed that in 3.5wt% NaCl solution, the passivation zones of the two coatings occurred obviously, the self-corrosion potential of the two coatings shifted to the right, and the self-corrosion current density was much smaller than that of the substrate. In addition, the Co-based coating made by LC showed lower corrosion current density and larger diameter of a capacitive arc than that of Co-based coating produced by PTA, indicating the LC coating had the best corrosion resistance in the three samples.

In the environment with H2S/CO2 or Na2S, the corrosion behavior of Lanthanum hexaboride (LaB6) was investigated by electrochemistry methods. The results indicated that the corrosion potential (Ecorr) and Rf of LaB6 increased as the partial pressure of H2S increased, while the corrosion current density (Icorr) decreased. In the environment containing Na2S, as the content of Na2S increased, the corrosion potential (Ecorr) and Rf of LaB6 decreased, while the corrosion current density (Icorr) increased. Thus, the addition of H2S into the environment with H2S/CO2 would inhibit the corrosion of LaB6; while in the environment containing Na2S, the increasing of the content of Na2S would accelerate the corrosion of LaB6.

The corrosion behavior of Zr53.5Cu26.5Ni5Al12Ag3 bulk amorphous alloy in 3.5% NaCl solution was investigated by using potentiodynamic polarization experiments and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results show that Zr53.5Cu26.5Ni5Al12Ag3 bulk amorphous alloy has the better corrosion resistance than its corresponding crystal alloy. During the bath in the 3.5% NaCl solution at 25°C, Zr53.5Cu26.5Ni5Al12Ag3 alloy has the lower corrosion current density than the corresponding crystal alloy. After 100h, the corrosion current densities of Zr53.5Cu26.5Ni5Al12Ag3 and the corresponding crystal alloy are 3.8415×10-8A/cm2 and 5.2827×10-7A/cm2, respectively. The results of EIS test indicate that Zr53.5Cu26.5Ni5Al12Ag3 bulk amorphous alloy has the excellent corrosion resistance because passive film with stable structure formed on the surface in 3.5% NaCl solution. With an increase in the immersion time, the passive film becomes thicker. It leads to impedance resistance and corrosion resistance decrease. The surface of Zr53.5Cu26.5Ni5Al12Ag3 bulk amorphous alloy in 3.5% NaCl solution for 100h was analyzed by SEM and EDS. The results show that the corrosive pitting can be found at both the amorphous alloy and the corresponding crystal alloy. However, the amorphous alloy has the better corrosive pitting resistance than the crystal one because the corrosion products formed by selective dissolving of Zr and Al elements. Moreover, the addition of Ag element helps to improve the corrosion resistance of the amorphous alloy greatly.

Compound silane films were prepared on galvanized steel by immersing method using mixture of bis-[3-(triethoxysilyl)propyl]tetrasulfide and γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane. The corrosion resistance of galvanized steel substrates was compared after treatment with bis-[3-(triethoxysilyl)propyl]tetrasulfide, γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane and their mixture in 3.5%NaCl solution by potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The results indicated that corrosion current density of the mixed silane films was reduced evidently and self-corrosion pressure of that was shifted to left markedly and total impedance value of that increased about two orders of magnitude. The analytical characterisation was performed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy. The results showed that bis-[3-(triethoxysilyl)propyl]tetrasulfide and γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane were all connected with the former of films.

Electrochemical methods were employed to investigate galvanic corrosion behaviors of super13Cr and P110 couples in NaCl solution at different temperature. Corrosion morphologies and products of the couples were analyzed by SEM, EDS and XRD. The results showed that there were potential difference distinctly between super 13Cr and P110 steel in NaCl solution at different temperature, when its contacted, galvanic corrosion of super 13Cr-P110 steel couples will occurred. P110 was accelerated to corrode as anode and super 13Cr was protected as cathode in the coupling. Super 13Cr-P110 steel couples could not be used as P110 without any protection in NaCl solution at 20 °C to 80 °C. Corrosion current density and galvanic corrosion of super13Cr-P110 steel couples increased with increasing temperature in NaCl solution, of which corrosion products are Fe3O4.

Purpose This paper aims to research the corrosion behavior of the metal under the disbonded coatings interfered with AC through electrochemical method. Design/methodology/approach The corrosion behavior of the metal under disbond coating interfered with alternate stray current (AC) was studied by electrochemical methods using the rectangular coating disbonded simulator. The obtained data from electrode potential test, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and polarization curves in simulated soil solution indicated that under the natural corrosion condition, the self-corrosion potential and the corrosion current density of the metal at different depths under disbond coating had obviously changed if there was AC interference. Findings The self-corrosion potential of the metal at the same depths under disbond coating shifted negatively with the rising of the AC voltage. Under the condition of cathode polarization, there was still obvious potential gradient with the extension of the deep peeling of the coating gap, and the corrosion current density of the test points was minimum, and the protection effect was best when the cathode protection potential was −1.0 V. When the metal was applied with over-protection, the corrosion rate of the metal increased as AC stray current flowing through it increased. Originality/value This paper used the rectangular aperture device to study the corrosion behavior of X80 steel under the disbonded coatings through electrochemical methods when the AC stray current interference voltage was 0V, 1V, 5V or 10V and the protection potential was 0V, −0.9V, −1.0V, −1.2V or −1.3V, respectively. There is great significance to the safe operation and long-term service of pipeline steel in soil environment.

Sn-0.7Cu-0.075Al solder alloy adding with Ce and La had been successfully prepared by applying ball-milling and vacuum arc remelting. The influence of Ce and La on microstructure and corrosion behavior of Sn-0.7Cu-0.075Al solder alloy was investigated. The results showed that Ce (La)-containing solders had refined grains and obvious directional tendency due to the dispersive refiner (CeO2 and La2O3). Electrochemical potentiodynamic curves revealed three different stages of the reaction, including anodic and cathodic processes, prepassivation section, and stable passivation stages. The self-corrosion potential (Ecorr) of alloys with Ce and La addition were a little bit more negative, hardly making a difference on corrosion occurrence. However, the corrosion current density (Icorr) and passivation current density (Ip) decreased by two-thirds and one-half respectively, which indicated a better corrosion resistant after adding rare earths. The recorded micrographs of corroded surface at different polarized points witnessed the formation of corrosion product film both on prepassivation and passivation stage. Moreover, the cross section of corrosion product film showed the coarse, loose film in Sn-0.7Cu-0.075Al solder and adherent, compact film in Ce (La)-containing solders, which further indicated an excellent anti-corrosion property.

A rectangle disbonded coating simulation device was used to research the effect of sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) on the metallic corrosion behavior under disbonded coating by the electrochemical method. The results showed that the metal self-corrosion potential at the same test point had little change in the initial experiment stage, whether the solution was without or with SRB. The potential amplitude in the solution with SRB was larger than that without SRB in the later corrosion period. The corrosion current density of the metal at the same test point increased gradually over time in the solution with or without SRB, and SRB could accelerate the corrosion of the metal in the disbonded crevice. The metal self-corrosion potential in the crevice had little change in the SRB solution environment after adding the fungicide, but the corrosion current density decreased significantly. That meant the growth and reproduction of SRB were inhibited after adding the fungicide, so the metal corrosion rate slowed down. Among the three kinds of solution environment, increasing the coating disbonded thickness could accelerate the corrosion of the metal in the crevice, and it was the largest in the solution with SRB.
