Sulfate Ions

The effect of sulfate ions on the corrosion behavior of steel in ordinary Portland concrete (OPC) and high performance concrete (HPC) were investigated. Steel corrosion was evaluated by means of corrosion potential (Ecorr), linear polarization resistance (LPR), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and cyclic polarization (CP). The electrochemical results indicated that, compared to the pure chloride solution, the presence of sulfate ions in the chloride solution both reduced the time to corrosion initiation and lead to an increase in corrosion rate of steel in OPC specimens; however, the sulfate ions had negligible effect in HPC specimens. Furthermore, the corrosion rate of steel exposed to chloride solution was higher that to the sulfate solution both in OPC and HPC specimens.

In the present work, a layer of 75%Cr3C2−25%NiCr with thickness of 260 ± 15 µm was coated onto the API-2H pipeline steel surface using high-velocity oxy-fuel deposition. The effect of 75%Cr3C2−25%NiCr coating on the corrosion of the API steel after 1 h, 24 h, and 48 h exposure in 4.0% sodium chloride solutions is reported. The corrosion tests were performed using potentiodynamic cyclic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and chronoamperometric current–time techniques along with scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray analyses. The curves of polarization indicated that the presence of the coating increases the corrosion resistance of the steel through decreasing its corrosion current and corrosion rate. Impedance data showed that all resistances recorded higher values for the coated API steel. Chronoamperometric current–time measurements confirmed that the coated API steel has lower absolute current values and thus lower corrosion rate. All results proved that the presence of 75%Cr3C2−25%NiCr coating enhances the corrosion resistance of the API steel via the formation of a protective layer of Cr and Ni oxides, which could lead to decreasing the corrosion rate.

AbstractThe effect of soft cations (Na+, K+, NH4+) on the corrosion behavior of carbon steel in chloride (Cl−) media was investigated using various electrochemical and nonelectrochemical techniques. Data revealed that the corrosion rate is higher in the case of ammonium chloride solution following the order NH4+>K+>Na+. The polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements indicated a significant influence of cations on both the corrosion rate and the mechanistic reaction pathway of carbon steel dissolution in Cl− media. The EIS measurement showed two time constants in all the cases. Electrical equivalent circuit was employed to model the EIS data. The surface morphology and the corrosion products were also analyzed. It was found that the hydration energy of cations and the initial pH of the solution play a critical role in describing the effect of cations present in Cl− media on carbon steel corrosion.

To protect steel structures, zinc coatings are mostly used as a sacrificial barrier. This research aims to estimate the dissolution tendency of the electroplated and zinc-rich cold galvanized (ZRCG) coatings of a controlled thickness (35 ± 1 μm) applied via brush and dip coating methods on the mild steel. To assess the corrosion behavior of these coated samples in 3.5% NaCl and 10% NaCl containing soil solutions, open circuit potential (OCP), cyclic polarization (CP), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) tests were performed. The more negative OCP and appreciably large corrosion rate of the electroplated and ZRCG coated samples in 3.5% NaCl solution highlighted the preferential dissolution of Zn coatings. However, in saline soil solution, the relatively positive OCP (>−850 mV vs. Cu/CuSO4) and lower corrosion rate of the electroplated and ZRCG coatings compared to the uncoated steel sample indicated their incapacity to protect the steel substrate. The CP scans of the zinc electroplated samples showed a positive hysteresis loop after 24 h of exposure in 3.5% NaCl and saline soil solutions attributing to the localized dissolution of the coating. Similarly, the appreciable decrease in the charge transfer resistance of the electroplated samples after 24 h of exposure corresponded to their accelerated dissolution. Compared to the localized dissolution of the electroplated and brush-coated samples, the dip-coated ZRCG samples exhibited uniform dissolution during the extended exposure (500 h) salt spray test.

Rc Structures

The significance of concrete durability increases since RC (Reinforced Concrete) structures undergo degradation due to aggressive environmental conditions, which affects structural safety and serviceability. Steel corrosion is the major cause for the unexpected failure of RC structures. The main cause for the corrosion initiation is the ingress of chloride ions prevailing in the environment. Hence quantitative evaluation of chloride diffusion becomes very important to obtain a chloride diffusion coefficient and resistance to chloride ion intrusion. In the present investigation, 15 mix proportions with 3 water-to-binder ratios (0.37, 0.42, and 0.47) and 3 replacement ratios (0, 30, and 50%) were prepared for HPC (high-performance concrete) with fly-ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag. Chloride diffusion coefficient was measured under nonstationary condition. In order to evaluate the microstructure characteristics, porosity through MIP was also measured. The results of compressive strength, chloride diffusion, and porosity are compared with electrical charges. This paper deals with the results of the concrete samples exposed for only 2 months, but it is a part of the total test plan for 100 years. From the work, time-dependent diffusion coefficients in HPC and the key parameters for durability design are proposed.

Corrosion Passivation

In this work, the fabrication of three Al-2wt.% SiC nanocomposites processed by novel milling route was carried out. The beneficial influence of milling route on the corrosion passivation of the new fabricated composites was investigated. The cyclic polarization measurements have proved that increasing the time of ball milling highly reduced the corrosion of Al-SiC nanocomposite via reducing obtained corrosion current and so increasing the corrosion resistance. These results were affirmed by the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy experiments. The pitting corrosion of the manufactured composites was also reported, and its intensity decreased with the increase of ball milling time. The electrochemical experiments were also performed after expanding the exposure time in the chloride solution to 24 and 48. It was found that both the uniform and pitting corrosion decrease with prolonging the time. The study was complemented by examining the surface morphology and the elemental analyses for the different composites by using surface analyses techniques.

The alleviation of iron corrosion in 3.5% NaCl sodium chloride solution using N,N′-bis[2-methoxynaphthylidene]amino]oxamide (MAO) as a corrosion inhibitor has been reported. The work was achieved using various investigation techniques. Potentiodynamic cyclic polarization (PCP) displayed a powerful inhibition for the corrosion via reducing the iron’s cathodic and anodic reactions. This was reflected in reduced corrosion currents and increased polarization resistances in the presence and upon the increase of MAO concentration. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy results indicated that MAO molecules provoke the corrosion resistance via increasing polarization resistance. The power of MAO on decreasing pitting attack was also investigated through measuring the change of current with time at −0.475 V(Ag/AgCl). Scanning electron microscopy images were taken of the surface after the current–time measurements were performed in the absence and presence of MAO. The current-time experiments indicated that MAO highly mitigates the corrosion of iron. The energy dispersive X-ray analyzer reported the products found on the tested surfaces. The effect of extending the exposure time from 1 h to 48 h was also tested and was found to alleviate the corrosion of iron, whether MAO molecules are absent or present.

As an attempt to contribute to the understanding of the corrosion processes of anti-sulfur steel in CO2and H2S containing environment with different species, the corrosion behavior of SM 80SS tubing steel immersed in CO2and H2S containing solution was analyzed in this work. To determine the corrosion behavior of SM80SS steel, the linear polarization resistance (LPR) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques were used, as well as weight loss test and surface analysis. The results showed that the presence of Cl-quickened the anodic dissolution processes and rapidly increased the corrosion rate of SM 80SS steel, and that the addition of Ca2+and Mg2+reduced corrosion rate. The corrosion processes of SM 80SS steel were controlled by the electrochemical reaction in the initial period and then converted to be controlled by electrochemical and activation reaction with increasing Cl-.

A study of the effect of Sn (1, 2, 3.5, 4.5, and 5 wt%) and Bi (0.5, 1.5, 3, and 4%) on the corrosion behavior of Al in ethylene glycol (C2H6O2)-40% water mixtures at 20, 40, and 60°C has been carried out using electrochemical techniques. Techniques include potentiodynamic polarization curves, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and electrochemical noise (EN) measurements. The three techniques have shown that additions of either Sn or Bi contents increased the corrosion rate of pure Al in all cases, and that generally speaking, the corrosion rate increased by increasing the temperature except for the alloy containing 1% Sn + 4% Bi, which showed the lowest corrosion rate at 60°C. This was because of a galvanic effect from the presence of Sn and/or Bi particles on the surface alloy, which acted as local cathodes, leading to an acceleration of corrosion. Nyquist diagrams showed two semicircles at 20°C and only one at 40°C or 60°C for all the alloys, showing two different corrosion-controlling mechanisms. EN measurements showed evidence of a mixture of both localized and uniform types of corrosion for all Al-based alloys.
