Influence of SO2 concentration on initial corrosion of aluminum was studied in simulated marine atmosphere. Variation of initial corrosion morphology, relation between weight gain and time in the course of initial corrosion, corrosion speed (token with maximum pitting depth and weight gain) were analyzed and discussed. Primary results is list below: In marine atmosphere, SO2 sedimentation above 0.1 mg/100cm2 can accelerate Al pitting with low Cl- sedimentation. Both corrosion weight gain and pitting depth increase obviously. For pitting surface of LY12 with SO2 and Cl- sedimentation, corrosion potential change little, Nyquist Graph was single arc of capacitance resist with retractile real part, Rr can’t reflect corrosion degree.

A series of accelerated corrosion tests were conducted in the simulated marine atmosphere environment to study the corrosion of LY12 aluminum alloy under different Cl - deposition content. The change of corrosion morphology, weight gain and electrochemical parameters (Corrosion Electric Potential, AC Impedance) were inspected in the corrosion course. The different corrosion behaviors caused by the variation of Cl - deposition content were also discussed.

The corrosion behaviors of Al-Zn-Sn and Al-Zn-Sn-Ga alloys were investigated according to the results of immersion tests and corrosion morphology observation,and the Fermi energy of the precipitates was calculated by Materials Studio software for discussing the corrosion kinetics of precipitates . The results show that the Al-Zn phase with high Fermi energy (low corrosion potential) dissolved firstly, than caused the forming of Al-Ga amalgam which deposited between passive film and Al matrix. Meanwhile, the Al-Ga phase with higher Fermi energy dissolved too, which made the Al-Zn-Sn-Ga alloy continue to active, Finally, the Al-Zn-Sn-Ga alloy formed uniform corrosion morphology due to the effect of Al-Ga amalgam, while Al-Zn-Sn alloy formed the surface feature with the deep corrosion pits due to the "self-catalysis" mechanism.

This paper studies effect of corrosion inhibitor TG201 on electrochemical corrosion behavior of tubular steel HP13Cr by polarization curve test and exchange impedance spectrum method. It analyzes corrosion morphology by SEM. The results show that the increase of compression stress on HP13Cr lead to its self-corrosion potential shifting negatively, then electrochemical corrosion rate increases. Finally, corrosion resistance performance of HP13Cr steel weakens in acidification environment. Effects of compression stress on electrochemical corrosion become weak by adding TG201 inhibitors. And inhibitor efficiency of TG201 has obvious increase. So controlling compression stress has certain influence on inhibitors efficiency.

By analyzing morphology, weight gain, pitting depth, potential and AC impendence in corrosion course, initial pitting behavior of LY12 aluminum alloy in simulated marine atmosphere was studied. Results indicated initial pitting of LY12 was affected much by Cl- sedimentation and atmosphere humidity, little by temperature below 35°C. Weight gain and pitting depth increased with rising of Clsedimentation quantity, humidity and temperature. Correlation of weight gain and time fitted Model Boltzman. In initial pitting course of LY12, open circuit potential changed little and Nyquist graph had the characteristic of adsorbent resist system.

The pitting corrosion behavior of sintered SUS 444 stainless steels (P/M specimens) with different kinds of porosity ratios of 13.3, 9.11 and 6.88 % was studied in an aqueous solution containing MgCl2 compared with a conventionally processed SUS 444 stainless steel(I/M specimen). The pitting corrosion potential decreased almost linearly as porosity ratio increased, and the I/M specimen showed the best resistance against the initiation of pitting corrosion. The pitting corrosion morphology by SEM observation showed that more small pits were observed on the specimen with larger porosity ratio while less number but larger diameter pits were observed on the specimen with smaller porosity ratio, and it was also confirmed that the I/M specimen had the least number but the largest and deepest pits.

In this paper, the Al-Zn-Sn-Ga anode alloy was quenched from 460 °C. The influences of corrosion time and different microstructure of the alloy on its corrosion morphology were investigated to clarify the effect of quenching on the corrosion morphology of the alloy. The inhomogeneous composition in the as-cast alloy directly caused various corrosion potential in the alloy and that the driving force of corrosion was different. Lots of circular corrosion pits and basic uniform composition were observed in the quenching sample. The results reveal that the corrosion morphology of the anode alloy is affected by quenching treatment employed.

Galvanic properties were evaluated on bare and anodized Ti-1023 titanium alloy which coupled to Ni-electroplated, Zn-electroplated, Cd-electroplated 30CrMnSiA and anodized LY12, respectively. Corrosion properties including open circuit potential (Eoc) of each material, galvanic corrosion potential (Eg), and corrosion current (Ig) of the couples were monitored in conjunction with a Model 263A potentiostat system. Corrosion current density (Īg) and average value of corrosion potential (Ēg) were calculated from Ig-time and Eg-time curves, respectively. Corrosion morphology was observed on a optical microscope (OM) and corrosion mechanisms were analyzed and discussed. The corrosion resistance of Ti-1023/LY12 couple was significantly improved by Ti-1023 anodized coating. However, the coating accelerated the dissolve of the three electroplated coatings in the other galvanic couples, resulting in a heavy corrosion attack on 30CrMnSiA steel.

ABSTRACTThe effect of grain size on the corrosion behaviour of nickel in 2N sulphuric acid is evaluated by potentiodynamic testing and characterization of the corrosion morphology for grain sizes ranging from 100μ to 32nm. The influence of the grain boundary component on key electrochemical parameters (free corrosion potential, passivation current density and potential, transpassive dissolution rate) is discussed.
