A process for producing a black oxide coating on aluminum alloy was investigated in the present work. The blackening process is widely used in industrial applications, but it was not deeply studied for aluminum alloys. The aim of this work is to study the black coating obtained on AA6060 surfaces employing two different solutions, both containing potassium permanganate, copper nitrate and nitric acid. The first solution carried out the coloring treatment at 50 °C, whereas the second one was done at room temperature. Different immersion times were investigated. The morphology of the coating was investigated by means of optical and electron microscopy to evaluate the color of the layer and the presence of defects, porosities, and cracks. X-ray diffraction analysis was performed to evaluate the protective layer composition. The corrosion properties were studied with potentiodynamic polarization tests and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy tests. The results showed that the blackening process performed at room temperature, besides the clear advantages in term of costs and safety, obtained more uniform coatings with increased corrosion performance in comparison with the ones obtained at higher temperatures.

The aim of the research is to subject the three different silanes to chemical and electrochemical investigations in other to determine the most efficient organic compound. Three types of hydrophobic silanes [Tris (Trimethylsiloxy) silyethyl] dimethylchlorosilane (Alkyl); Tridecafloro-1,1,2,2-tetrahydrooctyltrichlorosilane (FOTS) and Henicosyl-1,1,2,2-tetrahydrododecyltricholrosilane (FDDTS) are presented and investigated. The three silanes are of different composition but are deposited at the same parameters and conditions. The chemical investigation was studied through (attenuated total reflection Fourier-transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) and x-ray diffraction (XRD), while the electrochemical study was conducted through EIS using natural seawater electrolyte at room temperature. From the investigation techniques, only electrochemical impedance results show that FDDTS performed better than both Alkyl and FOTS. The chemical analysis showed the presence of hydrophobic silane on all the coated samples, and no distinction can be drawn from associated peaks.

Chemical sensing based on semiconducting metal oxides has been largely proposed for acetone sensing, although some major technical challenges such as high operating temperature still remain unsolved. This work presents the development of an electrochemical sensor based on nanostructured PANI/cellulose/WO3composite for acetone detection at room temperature. The synthesized materials for sensor preparation were polyaniline (PANI) with a conductivity of 13.9 S/cm and tungsten trioxide (WO3) in monoclinic phase doped with cellulose as carbon source. The synthesized materials were characterized by high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), cyclic voltammetry (CV), and Raman spectroscopy. The composite was applied for acetone detection in the range of 0 to 100 ppmv at room temperature with electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) for monitoring resistance changes proportional to acetone concentration. The developed sensor achieved a calculated limit of detection of 10 ppm andR2of 0.99415 with a RSD of 5% (n=3) at room temperature. According to these results, the developed sensor is suitable for acetone sensing at room temperatures without the major shortcomings of larger systems required by high operating temperatures.

The hydrothermally synthesized CuWO4 nanoparticles (NPs) were characterized with different analysis such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX), Cyclic Voltammetry (CV), UV-Visible and Photoluminescence (PL) analysis. The prepared CuWO4 NPs were examined with Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS). SEM images show that CuWO4 NPs are highly spherical shaped morphology and porous in nature. The optical band gap of prepared CuWO4 NPs is found to be 2.12 eV. Photodegradation of diclofenac sodium (DFS) (medical waste) in the aqueous medium with CuWO4 NPs under visible light irradiation shows 98% degradation. The CuWO4 NPs was stable up to 5th cycle it can be used as a reusable photocatalyst for the DFS degradation. The electrical conductivity and dielectric properties of the CuWO4 NPs at room temperature is analyzed by EIS studies. The bulk conductivity value of the prepared nanoparticles is 1.477×10-5 S/cm at room temperature. The conductivity of CuWO4 NPs is found to be due to electrons movement. The CuWO4 NPs shows higher photocatalytic and electrocatalytic activity for decomposition of DFS and methanol electro-oxidation in alkaline medium respectively.

The corrosion behaviors of the hot-pressed Mg-Sn-Zn-Al-Mn magnesium alloys with the addition of Al in different proportions have been investigated. Paraffin coating technique was applied to Mg powders before production. After debinding at 300 °C, the sintering process was applied at 610 °C under 50 MPa pressure for 70 min. All of the alloys were immersed in Hank’s solution for 10-days. The results indicated that the corrosion properties of the alloys were affected by the production method (hot pressing) and alloying element addition. After immersion, magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2), hydroxyapatite (HA), and Mg-Al hydrotalcite structures were determined by the X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis on the surfaces of Mg-Sn-Zn-Al-Mn alloys. The Mg-Al hydrotalcite protective layer was effective in preventing corrosion. Superior corrosion properties (weight loss: 1.2%, total volume of evolved H2 gas: 4 ml/cm2, corrosion rate: 0.39 mm/year) were obtained from TZAM5420 alloy (5 wt.%Sn, 4 wt.%Zn, 2 wt.%Al, 0.2 wt.%Mn).

The composite coatings were prepared on aluminum alloy by anodizing and chemical conversion method. The coatings consisted of a anodic oxide coating and a rare earth conversion coating. The surface morphology and composition of the composite coatings were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-rays (EDX). The electrochemical properties of the different samples were researched by Potentiodynamic polarisation and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy in a 3.5-wt.% NaCl solution. The results showed that corrosion current density of the sample with composite coatings was 3.611×10-9 A·cm-2, impedance was 6.107×105 Ω·cm-2. The composite coatings had better corrosion resistance than the sample with anodic oxide film and the aluminum alloy substrate.

The present study was focussed on investigating the corrosion properties of plasma-oxidized and -nitrided CoCrMo alloys under different conditions. The structural properties of untreated and treated samples were examined by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Corrosion behavior of samples was mainly investigated by potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy in simulated body fluid solution. The results showed that corrosion resistance of the oxidized layers was better than that of the nitrided ones. The corrosion resistance of the alloys increased as the plasma oxidation process temperature and time increased. However, the corrosion resistance of the alloys reduced with increase in the process temperature and time after plasma nitriding process.
