The in-situ studies of the corrosion product film on nickel-aluminum bronze are significant for explaining the mechanism of its corrosion resistance. In this paper, the corrosion behavior of nickel-aluminum bronze and the formation process of the protective film in 3.5 wt % NaCl solution are systematically investigated. The results of scanning electron microscope analysis and electrochemical tests indicate that the corrosion resistance of nickel-aluminum bronze is improved due to the formation of the corrosion product film. The change of local electrochemical property on the corrosion product film during the immersion time is evaluated via in-situ scanning vibrating electrode technique, and it reveals the evolution rules of ionic flux in real time. The formation process of the protective film on different phases in nickel-aluminum bronze is observed directly by in-situ atomic force microscopy as height change measurements. The α phases at different locations present different corrosion behaviors, and the lamellar α phase within the α + κIII eutectoid structure gets more serious corrosion attack. The κ phases establish a stable and dense protective film in short time, preventing the corrosion attack effectively. The β′ phase, however, suffers the most serious corrosion damage until a protective film is formed after 150 min of immersion.

To study the effect of weld and defects on the corrosion behavior of nickel aluminum bronze (UNS C95810) in 3.5% NaCl solution, the weight loss, X-ray diffraction, optical microscope, scanning electron microscope and electrochemical test of the specimen with weld and defects were investigated. The results show that the presence of weld and defects increases the corrosion rate of bronze. Weld does not change the structure of the corrosion product film, but defects induce a lack of the protective outermost corrosion product in bronze. Weld makes the corrosion product film in the early stage more porous. Defects always produce an increase in the dissolution rate of the bronze.

In this work, the corrosion behavior and surface reactivity of as-cast and heat-treated nickel aluminum bronze casting alloy (UNS C95800) in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution is investigated under stagnant and flow conditions. Increasing flow rate conditions are simulated using a rotating disk electrode from 0 to 9000 revolutions per minute (rpm). Optical micrographs confirm the decrease in the phase fraction of corrosion-sensitive β phase in the microstructure of C95800 after annealing, which, in turn, enhances the corrosion resistance of the alloy. Electrochemical studies including open circuit potentiometry, potentiodynamic polarization, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy are performed to assess the effect of flow rate and heat treatment on the corrosion of samples at 25 and 40 °C in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution. For both as-cast and heat-treated samples, increasing the flow rate (i.e., electrode rotating rate) linearly reduces the corrosion resistance, indicating that the metal dissolution rate is significantly affected by hydrodynamic flow. Increasing the solution temperature negatively impacts the corrosion behavior of the as-cast and heat-treated samples at all flow conditions.

Purpose Nickel-aluminum bronze (NAB) has been widely used in ship propellers. It is always subjected to local micro-plastic deformation in service environments. This paper aims to study the influence of plastic deformation on the mechanical strength and corrosion resistance of NAB in 3.5 Wt.% NaCl solution. Design/methodology/approach Scanning electron microscope and X-ray diffraction were used to analyze the microstructure of NAB alloy with different plastic deformations. Mechanical properties of the sample were measured by tensile experiment, and corrosion behavior was studied by electrochemical measurements and the long-term immersion corrosion test. Findings Results showed that the plastic deformation caused lattice distortion but did not change the microstructure of NAB alloy. Microhardness and yield strength of NAB were significantly improved with the increase of deformation. The lattice distortion accelerated the formation of corrosion product film, which made the deformed alloy show a more positive open-circuit potential and an increased Rp. However, during the long-term immersion corrosion, the corrosion resistance of NAB alloys deteriorated with the increase of plastic deformation. This is because larger plastic deformation brought about higher internal stress in corrosion product film, which resulted in the premature peeling of the film and the loss of its protective effect on the alloy substrate. Originality/value Tensile plastic deformations were found to cause a decline in the corrosion resistance of NAB. And the mechanism was clarified from the evolution of corrosion products during the corrosion process.

Purpose – In order to solve the corrosion problems in the South China Sea, the purpose of this paper was to study the main influences of corrosion including temperature, H2S content and corrosion inhibitor content in CO2/H2S oil field-produced water. Design/methodology/approach – The corrosion products formed on the steel surface were observed and analyzed using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Findings – The results indicate that temperature significantly influences the corrosion rate, which is a maximum at 70°C. The corrosion rate decreases as H2S content increases which is less than 10 mg/L, but then it increases rapidly. The FeCO3/Fe x S y protective film and a corrosion inhibition also were considered. Research limitations/implications – A mixture containing an imidazoline derivate and an organic amine can enhance the corrosion resistance of the corrosion product film. Practical implications – A mixture containing an imidazoline derivate and an organic amine can enhance the corrosion product film corrosion resistance. Social implications – Imidazoline is one kind of environmentally safe agent which can be used in the ocean. Originality/value – The corrosion can be controlled to a satisfactory extent in the presence of a mixture containing an imidazoline derivate and an organic amine.

The effect of oxide film on the cavitation erosion-corrosion of nickel-aluminum bronze (NAB) alloy in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution was investigated via pulse and continuous cavitation modes of ultrasonic vibrator device according to ASTM. NaCl solution was used to simulate the seawater condition of NAB alloy. In the same effective cavitation erosion time of 8 h, the total mass loss caused by continuous cavitation erosion-corrosion was 21.45±0.75 mg, which was almost 1.5 times as much as that of pulse mode. The synergistic effect of cavitation erosion and corrosion was analyzed. The results showed that the total contribution of the synergy component in the process of continuous cavitation erosion-corrosion was 51.66%, while it fell to 25.56% in the pulse mode. The open-circuit potential measurements and electrochemical atomic force microscope test demonstrated that the rapid repair of an oxide film during pulse cavitation played an important role in resisting the cavitation erosion-corrosion. Furthermore, the formation process of oxide film was in situ observed, indicating higher nucleation rate compared with its growth rate. Also, the alloy with such film exhibited lower synergy in pulse mode than that without film in continuous mode.
