In this study, a waste of biorefinery—lignin—is investigated as an anticorrosion coating on stainless steel. Corrosion behavior of two lignin types (hardwood beech and softwood spruce) was studied by electrochemical measurements (linear sweep voltammetry, open circuit potential, potentiostatic polarization, cyclic potentiodynamic polarization, and electrochemical impedance measurements) during exposure to simulated body fluid (SBF) or phosphate buffer (PBS). Results from linear sweep voltammetry of lignin-coated samples, in particular, demonstrated a reduction in corrosion current density between 1 and 3 orders of magnitude cf. blank stainless steel. Furthermore, results from cross cut adhesion tests on lignin-coated samples demonstrated that the best possible adhesion (grade 0) of ISO 2409 standard was achieved for the investigated novel coatings. Such findings suggest that lignin materials could transform the field of organic coatings towards more sustainable alternatives by replacing non-renewable polymer coatings.

In this paper, the galvanic effect of pyrite and arsenopyrite during the leaching pretreatment of gold ores was determined with the use of electrochemical testing (open circuit potential, linear sweep voltammetry, Tafel, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS)) and frontier orbit calculations. The results show that (i) the linear sweep voltammetry curve and Tafel curve of the galvanic pair are similar to those of arsenopyrite, (ii) the corrosion behavior of the galvanic pair is consistent with that of arsenopyrite, and (iii) the galvanic effect promotes the corrosion of arsenopyrite by simultaneously increasing the cathode and anode currents and reducing oxidation resistance. The frontier orbit calculation explains the principle of the galvanic effect of pyrite and arsenopyrite from the view of quantum mechanics.

Stainless steel (SS) is one of the most commonly used metallic food contact materials. It may be classified based on its microstructure whether ferritic, austenitic, martensitic, duplex or precipitation hardened. Austenitic SS, among mentioned grades, has the largest contribution to market due to its numerous industrial and domestic applications. In this study, the corrosion behavior of AISI 202 SS – a cheaper grade of stainless steel, in three different solution temperatures of citric acid was investigated using different electrochemical techniques such as open-circuit potential (OCP) measurements, potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results were compared to that obtained from conventional AISI 304 SS. OCP, polarization and impedance measurements agreed that AISI 202 SS has comparable resistance to that of AISI 304 SS in citric acid at ambient temperature and at 50 °C. At 70 °C, results of OCP measurements suggest that AISI 304 SS exhibited greater performance as indicated by more positive OCP values in the designated solution. EIS results indicate that the two alloys have identical corrosion resistance even at 70 °C as indicated by their comparable polarization resistance (Rp). The corrosion mechanism in both alloys is charge-transfer controlled as indicated by depressed semi-circular appearance of the generated Nyquist plots. The values of corrosion current densities (icorr) extracted from polarization curves indicate that the initial corrosion rates were higher in AISI 304 than AISI 202 SS suggesting that formation of more protective film may have occurred on the former alloy.

The organic material named 4-amino-5-phenyl-4H-1, 2, 4-trizole-3-thiol (APTT) was studied as inhibitor for mild steel corrosion in 1.0 M HCl at 30 °C. The effects of turbulent flow on the inhibition process were characterized using open circuit potential (OCP), potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Turbulent flow condition experiments were simulated by Rotating Cylinder Electrode (RCE). Results obtained from changes of open circuit potential (OCP) with immersion time, potentiodynamic polarization, and impedance measurements all are in good agreement and indicated that the formation and the development of the inhibitor film were flow rate dependence. The scanning electron micrograph confirmed film structure is dependence of flow condition.

The corrosion behavior of unsealed and sealed high-velocity oxygen-fuel (HVOF)-sprayed nanostructured WC-CoCr cermet coatings under different corrosive environments was investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), open circuit potential (OCP), potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Ultrasonic excitation sealing with aluminum phosphate was performed in an external ultrasonic bath with the frequency of 40 kHz at atmospheric pressure and room temperature. SEM micrographs revealed that the exposed area of the coating was effectively reduced by the coverage of aluminum phosphate sealant on the majority of pores. Electrochemical measurements demonstrated that the sealant with the help of ultrasonic energy could shift the corrosion potential to a more noble direction, reduce the corrosion current density, increase the resistance of charge transfer, and effectively improve the corrosion resistance of the coating in both 3.5 wt % NaCl and 1 mol·L−1 HCl solutions.

Development of biocompatible dental implants has become significant impact in dental industry. In the present work, we report for the development of biocompatible nano Yttria stabilised Zirconia (YSZ) coatings on 316L stainless steel (316L SS) obtained by EPD process. The optimized sample (nano YSZ coating on 316 obtained at applied potential of 70 V for 5 minutes) were sintered in air at 600, 800 and 900°C. The surface morphology and composition of the coatings were characterized by XRD and FE-SEM with EDAX. The electrochemical performance of the uncoated metal and nano YSZ coated 316L SS samples were evaluated in artificial saliva (AS) medium using electrochemical techniques such as Open Circuit Potential – time measurement (OCP), Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) and Cyclic Potentiodynamic Polarization (CPP).

The aim of this study was to compare the surface micromorphology and corrosion resistance of diferent temporary anchoragedevices (TADs) composed of titanium alloy (SIN®) and stainless steel (DAT Steel® and Bio Ray®). Ten samples of eachTAD were submitted to qualitative analyses using energy-dispersive and scanning electronic microscopy before and afterimmersion in artifcial saliva (1500 ppm of fuoride) for 30 days. The chemical analysis was done by X-ray fuorescence,and the corrosion tests were performed by electrochemical means (open circuit potential—OCP, potentiostat, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy—EIS, using anodic potentiodynamic polarization curves). Passive flm resistance (PFR)and corrosion current were established. The corrosion rate was determined by the mass loss test. Greater smoothness andfewer machining defects were observed for the stainless steel TAD before artifcial saliva immersion. Comparatively, highercorrosion resistance was found for titanium alloy TAD after immersion in saliva. There was no release of ions into the TADwhen immersed in artifcial saliva. ANOVA and Tukey tests showed that OCP (V) was signifcantly lower for the titaniumalloy TAD (p=0.030) than the stainless steel brands. Epite (V) and Epite−OCP (V) were signifcantly higher for the titaniumalloy TAD (p=0.0009 and p=0.0005, respectively). Stainless steel TADs presented lower roughness surface than titaniumalloy TAD, although the latter presented higher corrosion resistance than the former

This work proposes the development of a niobium phosphate coating (PNb) to replace the zinc phosphating, which is very aggressive to the environment and human health. The metallic material utilized was carbon steel (SAE 1010), which was coated with sunbathing - gel containing phosphate and niobium. A traditional zinc phosphate coating was used for comparison of results. The samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), dispersive energy spectroscopy (DES), open circuit potential, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and anodic polarization. The results demonstrated that the samples coated with niobium phosphate have more surface nobility and greater corrosion resistance.

Noble metal coatings are commonly employed to improve corrosion resistance of metals in the electronic and jewellery industry. The corrosion resistance of electroplated goods is currently determinate with long, destructive and almost subjective interpretation corrosion tests in artificial atmosphere. In this study we present the application of electrochemical analysis to obtain fast and numerical information of the antiaging coating. We performed open circuit potential (OCP) and corrosion current measurement; we employed also the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), commonly applied to organic or passivated metal with high-impedance, to find the best option for noble low-impedance coating analysis. For comparison, traditional standardized tests (damp heat ISO 17228, salt spray ISO 9227 and sulphur dioxide ISO 4524) were also performed.
