The influence of different flame of gas welding on corrosion behavior of the carbon steel’s heat affected zone in seawater were studied by the weight-loss method, electroanalytical chemistry method and surface and microstructure observation. The result indicate that when gas welding the carbon steel, the corrosion rate of the heat affected zone under the influence of mild carbonizing flame is 0.1252[g/(m2•h)], in contrast, the corrosion rate of that under the influence of neutral flame is 0.1025[g/(m2•h)]; the order of corrosion current shows as follows: Imild carbonizing flame>Ineutral flame>Ibase metal; the order of measured corrosion potential as follows: Ebase metal>Eneutral flame>Emild carbonizing flame. Compared with the base metal, the heat effected zone are more likely to corrosion, corrosion resistance of the sample under mild carbon flame are the worse.

By combining electrochemical corrosion rate measurements and spectrophotometric analysis of the electrolyte it was shown that at room temperature chromium dissolves in deaerated 0.1M Na2SO4 + H2SO4 (pH1) solution as Cr(II) and Cr(III) ions in he ratio Cr(II):Cr(III)?7:1. This process was stable over 4h without any detectable change. The total corrosion rate of chromium calculated from the analytical data is about 12 times higher, than that determined electrochemically by cathodic Tafel line extrapolation to the corrosion potential. This finding was confirmed by applying the weight-loss method for the determination of the corrosion rate. This enormous difference between these experimentally determined corrosion rates can be explained by the rather fast, "anomalous" dissolution process proposed by Kolotyrkin and coworkers (chemical reaction of Cr with H2O molecules) occurring simultaneously with the electrochemical corrosion process.

The aim of this study is to determine the corrosion effect of palm oil methyl ester (POME) on aluminium alloy 5083 (AA5083). The static immersion test was carried out at 60°C for 68 days according to ASTM G–31–72. The corrosion analysis was done by using weight loss method and electrochemical test. The result from weight loss method shows the decreasing in weight loss of AA5083 which signifies the ability of POME to reduce corrosion rate. The electrochemical test shows the decreasing in polarization resistance,Rp, while the corrosion current densities, Icorr, increase. The corrosion rate reduces from 2.250mpy to 0.1946mpy. The low concentration of fatty acid C18:2 and high anti oxidant element contributes to the reduction of corrosion rate of AA5083 in POME.

Objectives: Nickel-chromium (Ni-Cr) base dental alloys with desirable properties have been employed in prosthodontics for years. Corrosion behavior of a Ni-Cr base alloy in artificial saliva with different pH values is determined in this work. Materials and Methods: Corrosion behavior of Ni-Cr alloy was studied using weight loss described by corrosion rate (CR) in mils per year (mpy) and potentiodynamic polarization described by corrosion potential (CP) in mV and current density (CD) in mA/cm2 in artificial saliva with different pH. Surface morphology was studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Statistical difference was assessed using one-way ANOVA and post-hoc Tukey's honestly significant difference (HSD) test with a difference significance of 95%. Results: In weight loss method, CR was 71.95±3.40, 17.26±1.03, 8.92±0.35, and 6.93±0.54 mpy at pH values of 2.5, 5, 7, and 9, respectively. CR obtained at pH of 2.5 was significantly different than that in other groups, but those obtained at pH of 5, 7, and 9 were not significantly different. In the polarization method, CP values were significantly different. CD measured at pH of 2.5 and 5 was significantly different than the rest of pH values (P<0.05). CRs at pH of 7 and 9 were not significantly different. SEM exhibited the formation of preferential sites of corrosion attacks influenced by pH. Conclusions: Both techniques revealed consistent results. Corrosion resistance increases as pH increases towards less acidic conditions. In more acidic saliva, the corrosion rate is greater. The less acidic saliva leads to formation of a more stable passive film on Ni, and the dissolution of Ni decreases, leading to lower CRs.

The concentration of the extract used range from 1%-10% and the immersion time is four days. The results showed that the corrosion rate was greatest in the corrosive medium without addition of inhibitors, whereas the corrosion rate decreases with the addition of inhibitors, it is also evident from the results of the Tafel plot shows I<sub>cor </sub>impairment. The greater the concentration of inhibitor that is used the lower the corrosion rate. Greatest efficiency values both for medium corrosive obtained at inhibitor concentrations of 10%, 86,3% in HCl and 92% in NaCl. This shows that tea leaves extract inhibitor is very efficient in controlling the rate of corrosion in HCl and NaCl medium. From the optical photograph  analysed on the surface morphology of St-37 steel showed that the addition of tea leaf extract suffered less corrosion.</p>

The influence of microstructural variation on corrosion of SAPH440 steel induced by pre-deformation has been investigated in the corrosive solution. The microstructure observation was carried out by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The corrosion was characterized by weight loss method (WLM), open circuit potential (OCP) and potentiodynamic polarization curve (PPC) measurements. The results show that compared to the as-received specimens, the corrosion potential moves to the negative direction and corrosion current density increases after pre-deformation. The corrosion susceptibility is enhanced by the pre-deformation behavior, which is attributed to the increase in dislocation density with the increasing tensile elongation.

Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) is a technique used in oil and gas industries to increase the amount of crude oil production by injection of brine, a mixture of surfactant, water and seawater. As the results, crude oil contains brine which is corrosive. Surfactant is used to lessen the corrosion effect in addition to increase flowing of oil. In this study, the effect of surfactant on corrosion behavior of carbon steel in simulated enhanced oil recovery crude was investigated. Autoclave machine was used to perform corrosion experiment in the oxygen free environments. Corrosion rate was measure using weight loss method. The results show that surfactant reduces corrosion rate of carbon steel from 0.061 mm/y to 0.042 mm/y and the corrosion type on carbon steel was uniform corrosion.

Corrosion is a decrease in the quality of a metal material caused by a reaction with the environment. Reducing the corrosion rate on steel can be done by adding an inhibitor. Papaya leaf extract (Carica papaya.L) can be used as a corrosion inhibitor by immersion method. The effect of inhibitor on corrosion rate had been studied using weight loss method, potentiodynamic polarization method, and observation of steel surface using photooptic. It was found that corrosion rate decrease with increase concentration of papaya leaves extract. The highest inhibiton efficiency is 87.8% in 0.2 M hydrochloric acid with 2% concentration of papaya leaves extract. Potentiodynamic polarization method showed that papaya leaves extract decrease corrotion current. Inhibiton efficiency reached 81.58% in 2% extract concentration in which corrosion current decrease from 0.0266 mA/cm2 to 0.0049 mA/cm2. Analysis of photooptic showed that there is difference on steel surface corroded in hydrochloric acid with inhibitor and without it.

Corrosion leakage became serious due to cyclic sewage injection and continuous increase in water injection pressure. Corrosion behavior for N80 casing was studied during long-term service, using corrosion reaction kettle and weight loss method. The morphology and composition were characterized with laser confocal microscopy (LCM), scan electron microscopy (SEM) and energy disperse spectroscopy (EDS). These results showed that corrosion rate remained constantly at initial stage, and increased gradually, then sharply reached to 0.327mm/a at later stage, accompanying with inflection point under oxygen condition. Meanwhile, corrosion rate decreased significantly from 0.028mm/a to 0.020mm/a under oxygen-free condition. The corrosion of N80 steel was dominated by dissolved oxygen, and accelerated by chloridion. The micro-mechanism was suggested to be the transition of defect structure from crack with micron range to etch pit with millimeter range.

The corrosion behavior of copper and carbon steel in 1M concentration of hydrochloric acid (HCl) and sulphuric acid (H2SO4) has been studied. The corrosion inhibition of copper and carbon steel in 1M concentration of hydrochloric acid (HCl) and sulphuric acid (H2SO4) by Ciprofloxacin has been investigated. Specimens were exposed in the acidic media for 7 hours and corrosion rates evaluated by using the weight loss method. The effect of temperature (from 283 ºK to 333 ºK), pH (from 1to 6), inhibitor concentration (10-4 to 10-2) has been studied. It was observed that sulphuric acid environment was most corrosive to the metals because of its oxidizing nature, followed by hydrochloric acid. The rate of metal dissolution increased with increasing exposure time. Corrosion rates of carbon steel in the acidic media found to be higher.

In the environment with H2S/CO2 or Na2S, the corrosion behavior of Lanthanum hexaboride (LaB6) was investigated by electrochemistry methods. The results indicated that the corrosion potential (Ecorr) and Rf of LaB6 increased as the partial pressure of H2S increased, while the corrosion current density (Icorr) decreased. In the environment containing Na2S, as the content of Na2S increased, the corrosion potential (Ecorr) and Rf of LaB6 decreased, while the corrosion current density (Icorr) increased. Thus, the addition of H2S into the environment with H2S/CO2 would inhibit the corrosion of LaB6; while in the environment containing Na2S, the increasing of the content of Na2S would accelerate the corrosion of LaB6.
