Corrosion Behaviors

Research on improving the corrosion resistance of carbon steel has become a hot topic in the iron and steel field in recent years. Copper plating on the surface of carbon steel is considered an effective means to improve its corrosion resistance, but the copper-plated carbon steel material prepared by this method has the problems of poor abrasion resistance, easy delamination of copper layer and similar issues, which affect the service performance of the copper-plated carbon steel material. To solve this problem, a new type of material whose surface is copper and the copper element is gradually diffused into carbon steel was developed by a plating-diffusion method, which is defined as a copper-carbon steel gradient material. Carbon steel with a copper plated surface and the Cu-Fe/carbon steel gradient material with 80% Cu content on the surface were prepared by the same method. The cross-sectional microstructure and composition of different samples were analysed, and the corrosion behaviors of samples in 3.5% NaCl solution were studied by the linear polarization curve method and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The cross-sectional microstructure result shows that the diffusion of copper in carbon is mainly carried out along its grain boundary, and the diffusion of copper will inhibit the growth of grains during heat treatment. As shown in the results of corrosion behaviors, there is no pitting corrosion in the corrosion process of all samples, as well as the stable passive film. All samples showed active dissolution. Compared with carbon steel, the corrosion potential of the Cu/carbon steel gradient material becomes more positive from −600 mV to −362 mV，the corrosion current density decreases from 53.0 μA/cm2 to 30.6 μA/cm2 and the radius of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy enlarges while the corrosion resistance is improved, and the corrosion resistance is mainly obtained by its surface copper layer. The corrosion resistance of Cu-Fe/carbon steel gradient material is lower than that of Cu/carbon steel gradient material, while it is still better than carbon steel, and it shows a clear passivation trend during corrosion. Therefore, the copper/carbon steel gradient material can significantly improve the corrosion resistance of carbon steel. Even after the surface copper layer is destroyed, the gradient material can protect the matrix and improve the service life of the material.

Corrosion Behaviors

The crevice corrosion behaviors of X52 carbon steel in two typical Cl--containing solutions were investigated by electrochemical noise and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Results show that oxygen concentration difference leads to the coupled current in NaCl + NaHCO3 solution while HAc concentration difference causes the coupled current in NaCl solution saturated with CO2 in the presence of HAc. There exists an apparent incubation stage during the crevice corrosion process of X52 carbon steel in the former. However, no obvious incubation period of crevice corrosion can be observed in the latter. Micrography shows that the crevice corrosion occurs indeed and the corrosion inside the crevice is not uniform.

AbstractThe present study aims at deposition of zinc phosphate coatings on low carbon steel with incorporated nano- TiO2 particles by chemical phosphating method. The coated low carbon steel samples were assessed in corrosion studies using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and potentiodynamic polarization techniques (Tafel) in 3.5% NaCl solution. Morphology and chemical composition of the coatings were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy in order to observe growth of coating. Significant variations in the coating weight, porosity and corrosion resistance were observed with the addition of nano- TiO2 in the phosphating bath. Corrosion rate of nano-TiO2 chemical phosphate coated samples was found to be 3.5 milli inches per year which was 3 times less than the normal phosphate-coated sample (8 mpy). Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy studies reveal reduction of porosity of nano-TiO2 phosphate coated samples. It was found that nano-TiO2 particles in the phosphating solution yielded uniform phosphate coatings of higher coating weight, fewer defects and enhanced corrosion resistance than the normal zinc phosphate coatings (developed using normal phosphating bath).

Corrosion Behaviors

Galvanizing on the surface of reinforcing steel is an effective measure to control corrosion of reinforcing concrete structures. The corrosion behaviors of hot-dip galvanized (HDG) reinforcing steel in simulated concrete pore solution (SCP solution) with various pH and chlodride values were investigated using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Two equivalent circuit models corresponding to the corrosion process were proposed and the evolution feature of the corrosion parameters were analyzed. The results show that when the SCP solution was carbonated seriously (pH<11), there is hydrogen evolution phenomenon and the corrosion resistance of HDG reinforcing steel is decreased. A minute carbonation of SCP solution (11.5≤pH<12.5) favors the further passivation of the zinc layer and the corrosion resistance is enhanced. The corrosion rate of HDG reinforcing steel at pH=12.0 is minimal, around 0.59 μm/year, whereas that at pH=12.5 is approximate 1.21 μm/year. In the conditions of pH=12.5 and NaCl concentration no more than 0.5wt.%, the corrosion resistance of the passivation film on HDG reinforcing steel is good. In a serious carbonation case, the corrosion rate is increased greatly with chloride ions.

The polyurea was modified by adding different amounts of nanometer ZnO. The corrosion behavior of polyurea/primer composite coating system in wet-dry cyclic environment of 3.5% NaCl solution was studied by using the Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) measurement and adhesion test technology. The experimental result showed that, different mass fractions of nanometer ZnO had different influences on the corrosion resistance property of coating. When the mass fraction of nanometer ZnO was 5%, the composite coating had the largest protective action. The corrosion resistance property of nanometer ZnO can be improved by increasing the density of polyurea coating, however, the corrosion resistance property of polyurea coating will be weakened in case of exceeding the critical adding amount.

Abstract The use of ceramic particles in the matrix of alloy coatings during the electroplating process has received considerable attention. These particles can create properties such as high corrosion resistance, insolubility, high-temperature stability, strong hardness, and self-lubrication capability. Herein, an Ni–P–W–TiO2 coating was deposited on an AISI 304L steel substrate using the electroplating method. Electroplating was performed at current densities of 10, 15, 20, and 25 mA · cm–2, and the effect of current density on microstructure, corrosion behavior, and wear behavior was investigated. The coatings were characterized by means of scanning electron microscopy. To investigate corrosion resistance, potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy tests were performed in a 3.5% NaCl aqueous solution. A pin-on-disk test was conducted to test the wear resistance of uncoated and coated samples. Sample micro-hardness was also measured by Vickers hardness testing. Examination of the microstructure revealed that the best coating was produced at a current density of 20 mA · cm–2. The results of potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy tests were consistent with microscopic images. The coating created at the current density of 20 mA · cm–2 had the highest corrosion resistance compared to other coated and non-coated samples. Furthermore, the results of the wear test showed that increasing the current density of the electroplating path up to 20 mA · cm–2 enhances micro-hardness and wear resistance.

Cu-10Ni alloy suffers accelerated corrosion in sulfide polluted seawater. As an alternative, a new single phased, Cu-28%Zn-5%Ni-5%Mn-2%Fe alloy (hereby referred as CNZ-alloy) is developed and tested for the corrosion resistance in clean and sulfide polluted synthetic seawater. The CNZ-alloy showed better corrosion resistance than the standard Cu-10Ni alloy in both the test solutions i.e. clean and sulfide polluted synthetic seawater with . The results are discussed on the basis of polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The better corrosion resistance of CNZ-alloy is attributed to the formation of protective ZnS and MnS2 films.
