Corrosion mostly occurs on carbon steel which is applied for automotive components and household needs. This natural phenomenon is impossible to be avoided. However, it can be set by escalating its corrosion initiation time. Electroplating is a method that can be used to give protection to slower the corrosion initiation time by forming a layer on the specimen surface, additionally, this method is simple and low cost. One of the most commonly used metals for electroplating is nickel, nickel electroplating is suitable for automotive component coating. For these reasons, this study is focused on analyzing the effect of current and coating time on the layer thickness and corrosion rate of AISI 1045 carbon steel with nickel electroplating. The current variations used were 0.5; 1.0; and 1.5 A and the coating time variations were 5, 10, and 15 minutes. AISI 1045 was used as the cathode, nickel was as the anode, and nickel chloride was the electrolyte solution. The specimen with a current of 1.5 A and a coating time of 15 minutes shows the thickest coating and the lowest corrosion rate, with values of 0.0205 mm and 0.94 mpy, respectively. This study indicates that the increase of the current and coating time enhances the layer thickness and declines the corrosion rate.

Probability distribution law of corrosion initiation time of steel in concrete under chloride environment is discussed. Based on the Fick’s second law, by Monte Carlo, frequency distribution, distribution type and probability density is analyzed. The statistic parameters of the factors influencing the probability distribution of corrosion initiation time are studied and the expression for sensitivity analysis of corrosion initiation time is deduced. By sensitivity analysis can know, corrosion initiation time is found to be more sensitive to cover than the diffusion coefficient, and more sensitive to surface chloride concentration than the critical chloride level. The analysis of the paper perfects the methods of predicting the corrosion initiation time.

Corrosion initiation time of steel reinforcement for partially saturated concrete members subjected to chloride ingress is investigated at five places along Indian coasts using simplified probabilistic analysis and sensitivity of the parameters to reinforcement corrosion is studied. Previously proposed diffusion based chloride ingress model for constant surface chloride concentration and variable diffusion coefficient is used. Corrosion is initiated when the chloride concentration on steel reinforcement exceeds a threshold value. The various input parameters considered in the model are surface chloride concentration (Cs), chloride threshold value (Cth), Concrete cover (X), reference diffusion coefficient (Dref), age (t), reference age (tref), diffusion decay index (m) and monthly temperature and relative humidity correction factors f(T) and f(h) respectively; to reference diffusion coefficient. For prediction of corrosion initiation time temperature and relative humidity data collected by India metrological Department is used and all other parameters are assumed same. A large variation in corrosion initiation time is found and therefore it becomes necessary to consider the temperature and relative humidity data in a region. Life-365 considers fully saturated condition of concrete and thus underestimates the corrosion initiation time of a reinforced concrete member. The deterministic approach uses mean values of the parameters and provides a 50% probability of corrosion initiation but the probabilistic approach provides expected time of first corrosion for chosen risk of corrosion and also gives sensitivity of parameters to probability of corrosion. Corrosion initiation time in ascending order is found at Colaba, Kanyakumari, Santacruz, Chennai and Vishakhapatnam. Corrosion initiation time is useful for owner, designer, or to an organization to take decision in time of priority of repairs, repair strategy, corrosion protection in order to optimize maintenance planning and budgeting. Planned maintenance at the optimum time is the safest and most cost effective approach.
