Electrochemical Corrosion Behavior

The corrosion behavior of graphite-like carbon (GLC) coating in sea water was studied and yttrium and cerium were doped into it by using mosaic in the target of magnetron sputtering process to improve its corrosion resistance. The result shows that the GLC coating characterizes typical underfilm electrochemical corrosion in sea water. Yttrium added in chromium interlayer or yttrium and cerium added in the surface layer of the GLC coating can apparently improve the microstructure result in significantly decrease the corrosive current density. As the modifications of Y in interlayer and Y, Ce and Ta in top layer are composed together to form complex GLC coating, the wear resistance and the antifriction is dramatically improved, the corrosive current density is only one-twenty fourth of that of the commercial C/Cr GLC coating.

HIPIB irradiation experiment is carried out at a specific ion current density of 1.1 J/cm2 with shot number from one to ten in order to explore the effect of shot number on electrochemical corrosion behavior of magnesium alloy. Surface morphologies, microstructure and corrosion resistance of the irradiated samples are examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and potentiodynamic polarization technique, respectively. It is found that HIPIB irradiation leads to the increase in open circuit potential, corrosion potential and breakdown potential, and the decrease in the corrosion current density and the corrosion rate as compared to the original sample. The improved corrosion resistance is mainly attributed to the grain refinement and surface purification induced by HIPIB irradiation.

Electrochemical Corrosion Behavior

The effect of graphite shapes on the electrochemical corrosion behavior of cast iron was studied by means of weight loss tests, electrochemical measurements and electron microscopy. It was found that the electrochemical corrosion behavior of graphite is significantly different from one other, and the corrosive potential difference between carbide ad the matrix is the main driving force of the different phase corrosions. Among them, the center A type and edge D type graphite exhibited the highest corrosion resistance. The corrosion of white iron is worst, because there are so many type carbides in white iron and so there is an obvious tendency to produce micro-cell in white iron.

Purpose This paper aims to focus on an assessment of the electrochemical corrosion performance of bulk NC copper in a variety of corrosion environments. Design/methodology/approach The electrochemical corrosion behavior of bulk nanocrystalline (NC) copper prepared by inert gas condensation and in situ warm compress technique was studied by using potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy tests in de-aerated 0.1 M NaOH solution. Findings NC copper exhibited a typical active-passive-transpassive behavior with the formation of duplex passive films, which was qualitatively similar to coarse-grain (CG) copper. Although a compact passive film formed on NC copper surface, the corrosion resistance of NC copper was lower in comparison with CG copper. The increase in corrosion rate for NC copper was mainly attributed to the high activity of surface atoms and intergranular atoms. These atoms led to an enhancement of passive ability and an increase of dissolution rate of passive film in oxygen-deficiency solution. For NC copper, the corrosion resistance decreased as grain size increased in NC range. Originality/value The difference in corrosion resistance between bulk NC copper and its CG counterpart is dependent upon the corrosion solution. In a previous work, the potentiodynamic polarization tests revealed that NC copper bulks (grain size 48, 68, 92 nm) had identical corrosion resistance to CG copper bulk in naturally aerated 0.1 M NaOH solution. The results might be related to the dissolved oxygen in the medium.

The objective of this study was to improve the surface properties, hardness, wear resistance and electrochemical corrosion resistance of #45 steel. To this end, Ni–P–ZrO2–CeO2 composite coatings were prepared on the surface of #45 steel using the jet-electrodeposition technique by varying the current density from 20 to 60 A/dm2. The effect of current density on the performance of the composite coatings was evaluated. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were applied to explore the surface topography, elemental composition, hardness and electrochemical corrosion resistance of the composite coatings. The results showed that with the increase in the current density, the hardness, wear resistance, and electrochemical corrosion resistance tends to increase first and then decrease. At a current density of 40 A/dm2, the hardness reached a maximum of 688.9 HV0.1, the corrosion current reached a minimum of 8.2501 × 10−5 A·cm−2, and the corrosion potential reached a maximum of −0.45957 V. At these values, the performance of the composite coatings was optimal.

Electrochemical Corrosion Behavior

This paper presents some electrochemical impedance spectroscopy research results concerning the corrosion resistance of a shape memory Ni50Ti48Nb2 alloy. This one was previously studied by SEM and DSC [1,2] but some new research features had to be made clear in order to be able to explain its electrochemical corrosion behavior. The chemical composition Ni50Ti48Nb2 was chosen in order to obtain a shape memory alloy having a wider hysteresis than equiatomic NiTi, for the purpose of achieving a better thermomechanical stability. Cryogenic applications are aimed. After processing the cast ingot, two samples, S1 and S2, were further annealed at 800�C/12 h and, respectively, at 900�C/12h. Scanning electron micrographs together with the chemical elements mapping results were obtained. They were related to the previous results concerning the informations on the structure of the different phases found in this NiTiNb alloy: austenite, martensite and secondary phases, as well as some primary compounds [1,2]. Considering the size and shape of the complex precipitate particles of NiTiNb in the two differently heat treated samples, these were found responsible for some changes in the transformation temperatures [3] but the electrochemical corrosion behavior of the alloy seems to be influenced to a lesser extent by the heat treatments. Both samples exhibit good values of corrosion resistance, however S2 shows better values than S1. Thus lower transformation temperatures and a slightly better corrosion resistance make the Ni50Ti48Nb2 alloy annealed at 900�C/12h subsequently submitted to thermal cycling to be the right choice for producing couplings in the cryogenic industry.

Adding TiC particles into iron aluminide coatings has been found to improve its wear resistance, but its corrosion behavior is less known. In this study, the corrosion behavior of Fe3Al/TiC and Fe3Al-Cr/TiC composite coatings, prepared by high velocity oxy fuel (HVOF) spraying, was studied in 3.5 wt. % NaCl solution by means of electrochemical techniques and surface analysis. Results revealed that adding TiC particles into Fe3Al matrix to improve the wear resistance does not deteriorate the corrosion behavior of Fe3Al coating. It was also showed that addition of chromium to Fe3Al/TiC composite provides a more protective layer.

Higher-noble dental alloys (Au, Ag, and Pd) are the most desirable for dentistry applications, but they are expensive. Low-noble (Ag, Pd, Cu) dental alloys are alternatives to higher-noble ones due to their lower price. In this regard, the paper supports the price lowering of dental alloy by increasing the Cu content, i.e., a new 58Ag24Pd11Cu2Au2Zn1.5In1.5Sn dental alloy. The increasing addition of the Cu leads to a complex structure consisting of a solid solution that engulfs compounds of micrometric and nanometric sizes. The 58Ag24Pd11Cu2Au2Zn1.5In1.5Sn has demonstrated a much better electrochemical corrosion behavior in artificial saliva compared to the Paliag and Unique White dental alloys. The improved corrosion behavior of the new alloy is supported by the diminishing of the Cu selective diffusion into the electrolyte due to its retaining into compounds and into Ag-Pd solid solution. Also, the synergic effects of Cu, Zn, In, Sn may improve the corrosion resistance, but they have strengthened the 58Ag24Pd11Cu2Au2Zn1.5In1.5Sn matrix. The main finding addressed in the paper consists in a new 58Ag24Pd11Cu2Au2Zn1.5In1.5Sn dental alloy with improved corrosion resistance in artificial saliva.

Electrochemical Corrosion Behavior

Magnesium (Mg) alloys possess the lowest density among structural materials, and their application in the automotive and aircraft industries might enhance fuel efficiency. The mechanical properties can be improved by the addition of alloying elements. However, since Mg and its alloys are very susceptible to corrosion degradation, it is important to study the effect of these elements on the alloys’ corrosion behavior. In this study, 1 wt% of calcium (Ca) was added to wrought AM60 Mg alloy, and the electrochemical corrosion behavior of the alloys in alkaline solutions with and without Cl− ions was compared. The corrosion behavior was investigated by means of immersion tests, gravimetric measurements and potentiodynamic polarization (PDP); the characteristics of the oxide layer were studied by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The addition of Ca resulted in precipitation of the ternary aluminum-rich (Mg-Al)2Ca phase. Scanning Kelvin probe force microscope (SKPFM) identified that this phase has a cathodic behavior relative to the α-Mg matrix; hence it can serve as additional sites for initiation of pitting corrosion. As a result, the corrosion resistance of wrought AM60 alloy with 1 wt% Ca addition deteriorated in a NaCl solution. However, in the absence of Cl− ions, alloying with Ca improves the corrosion resistance of wrought AM60 alloy due to the stabilization of the corrosion products layer. The effect of long-period immersion time on the corrosion behavior and alloy oxidation is discussed.
