<p>Some operating buried transmission pipeline systems will develop unforeseen surface corrosion. Electrochemical corrosion behavior of low carbon line pipe steel in NS<sub>4</sub> soil test solution has been investigated by EIS method. Corrosion phenomenon is accentuated by influence of such soils parameters as specific resistance, pH, temperature, moisture content and chemical composition of electrolytes contained in soil. Results showed that steel corrosion increases considerably at acidic pH environments. Corrosion current density increases with temperature in the range from 20 to 60 °C. The associated activation energy has been determined. Impedance curves showed that the charge transfer resistance (<em>R<sub>t</sub></em>) increases with increasing immersion duration. Parameters such as corrosion current density (<em>I<sub>corr</sub></em>), polarization resistance (<em>R<sub>p</sub></em>), soil specific resistance (r) can serve as the parameters for evaluation of soil corrosiveness.</p>

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.

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.

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.

In this paper, the effect of alternating stray current (AC) density on the corrosion behavior of X80 steel under disbonded coating was studied by electrochemical methods, wire beam electrode (WBE) technology, and surface observation technology. The results showed that under the interference of different AC densities, the corrosion potential of X80 steel under disbonded coating underwent negative deviation, and the degree of negative deviation increased with the increase of AC density. The corrosion current density of X80 steel under disbonded coating with the action of 0~100 A/m2 AC density had few differences. While the corrosion current density of X80 steel with the action of 200~300 A/m2 AC density increased and the corrosion current density was higher than that under low AC density. The cathode area of the wire beam electrode under disbonded coating is mainly distributed outside and the edge of the gap between disbonded coating and X80 steel, while the anode area is mainly distributed inside the gap.

The present work deals with direct diffusion bonding welding without interlayer of austenitic stainless steel type AISI 304L with Oxygen Free High Conductivity pure copper (OFHC) in vacuum atmosphere (1.5 *10-5 mbr.). The optimum bonding conditions are temperature of 650 ◦C, duration time of 45 min. and the applied stress of 30 MPa, in order to secure a tight contact between the mating surfaces. The corrosion behavior of diffusion bonding joints in 3.5% Nacl is studied to evaluate the corrosion resistance of welding joints by using Potentiodynamic method. The observed microstructure of corroded specimen of optimum diffusion bonding joint shows that the corrosion current density has low value as compared with base materials used. During polarization, galvanic coupling is observed between two materials used. At passivity region, inverse polarity is occurred at 450mV. Therefore, passive stainless steel 304 L behaves as cathode respective to pure copper, the corrosion behavior of the diffusion bonding joint was mostly by copper side. The corrosion results indicate the presence of galvanic effect. The corrosion current density of copper, stainless steel 304L and bond joints condition were (3.66 µA/cm2, 1.62 µA/cm2 and 1.85µA/cm2) respectively. A SEM examination of corroded diffusion bonding joint indicates that the galvanic corrosion happened on copper side. The corrosion rate of bonding joint conditions was 0.85 mpy, which is less than 1%. This means that corrosion resistance of bond joint is more than excellent.

In the paper researches results of corrosion properties of Ni-Al alloy and Ni-Al-Al2O3 composite coatings were presented. Coatings were obtained by plasma torch. The studies in 0.01 M H2SO4 and 3.5 NaCl environments were realized. Measurements were made following methods: polarization and impedance spectroscopy. Rated coatings are more resistant to the 3.5% NaCl environment than the 0.01 M H2SO4. Corrosion current density for alloy coatings in artificial seawater was 19 μΑ/cm2 and 28 μA/cm2 environment acidic. Impedance spectroscopy studies showed that the alloy and composite coatings are characterized by greater charge transfer resistance in sodium chloride solution than in sulfuric acid solution. The value of corrosion potential in an environment of 3.5% NaCl is about 300 mV lower than 0.01 M H2SO4. Composite coatings Ni-Al-Al2O3 were characterized by a higher corrosion current densities and increased resistance than Ni-Al coatings in 0.01 M H2SO4 solution. It is related to the porosity of composite coatings. It was found little effect of oxide phase participation on corrosion current density and corrosion potential in 3.5% NaCl environment.

High-pressure die-cast AlSi10MnMg (AA365) alloys have been used as a material for automotive components exposed to high temperature and corrosive environments. This work determines the correlation of corrosion resistance with the intermetallic compounds and micro-voids of crept AA365 alloys under temperatures ranging from 373 K to 573 K with various applied stresses. The results showed that crept AA365 alloy at 473 K possessed a large amount of the intermetallic phases, compared with crept AA365 alloys at 373 K and 573 K due to the non-equilibrium solute atoms in Al matrix. By contrast, crept AA365 alloy at 573 K contained the lowest number of intermetallic precipitates owing to the remelting of the phases. With regard to the corrosion behavior, the corrosion potentials showed −687.0, −684.0, and −673.0 mVSCE of crept AA365 alloys at 373 K, 473 K, and 573 K, respectively, which means the corrosion occurred slowly on the crept AA365 alloy at 573 K, rather than at 373 K, 473 K. The value of the corrosion current density (Icorr) in the crept HPDC AA365 alloy at 473 K has the highest corrosion current density of 13.3 × 10−6 Acm−2, compared with others. It can be inferred that the high amount of intermetallic compounds gave rise to severe corrosion and led to the harmful micro-galvanic corrosion of crept AA365 alloy, rather than the micro-voids.
