The comparison of the efficiency of some natural products (natural honey, vanillin and tapioca starch) on corrosion inhibition of Al-Mg-Si alloy is investigated in seawater solution at room temperature, using potentiodynamic polarization (PP), linear polarization resistance (LPR), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements. The evolution of the corrosion potential (Ecorr) and corrosion current density (icorr) obtained from Tafel extrapolation of polarization curves, and the polarization resistance (Rp) values determined from LPR and EIS measurements indicate that the corrosion rates of Al-Mg-Si alloy decrease with the increasing the natural products concentration. In all cases, the increasing order of inhibition efficiency is: Natural honey < Vanillin < Tapioca starch.

The anti-corrosive performances of aluminum and its alloys is the subject of considerable technological importance due to the increased industrial applications of these materials. This paper reports the results of the linear polarization (LP) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements on the corrosion inhibition of Al-Mg-Si alloy in seawater using natural products (natural honey, vanillin and tapioca starch) as an inhibitor. The results show that the anti-corrosive performances increases with the increasing of natural products concentration. The energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) studies elucidated that the breakdowns of Al2O3 after exposed to seawater decreased with the presence of natural products. In all cases, the anti-corrosive performances can be given in the following increasing order: Natural honey < Vanillin < Tapioca starch.

This paper presents an investigation on the corrosion behavior of five solders by means of polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements. The Sn–9Zn and Sn–8Zn–3Bi solder, in comparison with the Sn–3.5Ag–0.5Cu and Sn–3.5Ag–0.5Cu–9In solder, were tested in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution and 0.1 wt% adipic acid solution, respectively. The Sn–37Pb solder was for reference in this work. The polarization curves indicated that the Sn–9Zn and Sn–8Zn–3Bi solder showed the worst corrosion resistance both in the salt and acid solutions, in terms of corrosion-current density, corrosion potential, linear polarization resistance, and passivation-current density. Meanwhile, the Sn–3.5Ag–0.5Cu solder remained the best corrosion characteristics in both solutions. It was found that due to microstructure alteration, Bi additive to the Sn–9Zn solder improved the corrosion behavior in the salt solution, whereas decreased that in the acid solution. However, the additive of In degraded the Sn–3.5Ag–0.5Cu solder in both solutions. The EIS results agreed well with the noble sequence of the five solders subjected to the two solutions with polarization. The equivalent circuits were also determined. Nevertheless, the four Pb-free solders exhibited acceptable corrosion properties since there was not much difference of key corrosion parameters between them and the Sn–37Pb solder.

A Ti6Al4V alloy was plasma-oxidized at 600 °C during 1, 2, 3, 5 and 8 h and corroded in an artificial saliva solution. Electrochemical evaluation was performed by using potentiodynamic polarization curves, linear polarization resistance (LPR), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements during 100 h. Corroded specimens were characterized by using Raman spectroscopy and scanning electronic microscopy (SEM). All tests indicated that the highest corrosion resistance was obtained for specimen oxidized during 3 h since the noblest free corrosion potential, lowest passive and corrosion current density values, as well as the highest polarization resistance values were obtained under these circumstances. EIS measurements indicated that the highest impedance and phase angle values obtained for this specimen exhibited a high capacitive behavior typical of a very compact passive film.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present the results of a two-year long study carried out in order to evaluate the corrosion performance of mild steel bare bars (BB) and epoxy-coated rebar (ECR) in concrete under a simulated harsh environment of chlorides. Design/methodology/approach The blocks are subjected to Southern Exposure testing. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), linear polarization resistance (LPR) and Tafel plot are performed to measure the polarization resistance and corrosion current densities of these rebars. Knife-peel test was performed to assess the adhesion between epoxy and underlying steel after two years of exposure. Findings Mild steel BB showed a high corrosion current density of 1.24 µA/ cm2 in Tafel plots and a very low polarization resistance of 4.5 kΩ cm2 in LPR technique, whereas very high charge transfer resistance of 1672 and 1675 kΩ cm2 is observed on ECR and ECR with controlled damage (ECRCD), through EIS technique, respectively. EIS is observed to be a suitable tool to detect the defects in epoxy coatings. After two years of immersion in 3.89 percent NaCl− solution, the mild steel BB were severely corroded and a considerable weight loss was observed, whereas under heavy chloride attack, ECR showed no deterioration of epoxy coating and neither any corrosion of underlying steel. Results of this study show that the durability of reinforced concrete (RC) structures with respect to corrosion could be enhanced by using ECR, especially in harsh climatic conditions. Originality/value The corrosion performance of mild steel and ECR in concrete under a simulating splash zone environment is evaluated. EIS was used to evaluate the health of epoxy and corrosion state of underneath steel rebars. EIS was able to detect the defects in epoxy. The durability of RC structures could be enhanced in harsh climate regions by using ECR.

When performing electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements on a system, we must make sure it fulfills certain conditions. One of them is that it should be stationary that is to say, steady-state and time-invariant. Commonly studied systems are time-variant, for example a corroding electrode or a battery under operation. A corroding electrode sees its polarization resistance decrease with time. A passivating electrode sees its polarization resistance increase with time. These phenomena cause a deformation of the Nyquist impedance at low frequencies. This result was first simulated and validated by experimental measurements on a corroding steel sample undergoing uniform cor­rosion. The effect of performing impedance measurements on a discharging battery was also shown. Several methods are available to check and correct time-variance. The non-stationary distortion (NSD) indicator is used to separate valid and invalid data samples and the so called “4D impedance” method can easily produce instantaneous impedance data.

Tetrakis[(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl-thio) phthalocyaninato] gallium(III)chloride (1) and tetrakis[(benzo[d]thiazol-2ylphenoxy) phthalocyaninato] gallium(III)chloride (2) were successfully electrodeposited onto aluminium for corrosion retardation in 1.0 M hydrochloric acid solution. The aim of this study was to compare the corrosion resistance of electrodeposited metallated phthalocyanines. Scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and polarization confirmed the aluminium corrosion inhibition potentials of complexes 1 and 2. EIS and polarization techniques showed that complex 2 performed better than complex 1, with values from EIS measurements of 82% for 1 and 86% for 2 in 1.0 M hydrochloric acid solution. The importance of electrodeposition in industries and a dearth of research on the use of electrodeposited metallated phthalocyanines necessitated this study, and results show that coatings formed by electrodeposition of 1 and 2 onto aluminium reduced its susceptibility to corrosion attack.

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-.

The corrosion and corrosion inhibition of high strength low alloy (HSLA) steel after 10 min and 60 min immersion in 2.0 M H2SO4solution by 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole (ATA) were reported. Several electrochemical techniques along with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDS) were employed. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy indicated that the increase of immersion time from 10 min to 60 min significantly decreased both the solution and polarization resistance for the steel in the sulfuric acid solution. The increase of immersion time increased the anodic, cathodic, and corrosion currents, while it decreased the polarization resistance as indicated by the potentiodynamic polarization measurements. The addition of 1.0 mM ATA remarkably decreased the corrosion of the steel and this effect was found to increase with increasing its concentration to 5.0 mM. SEM and EDS investigations confirmed that the inhibition of the HSLA steel in the 2.0 M H2SO4solutions is achieved via the adsorption of the ATA molecules onto the steel protecting its surface from being dissolved easily.

This work evaluates the inhibitory effect of ethanolic extract of propolis (EEP) on the corrosion of AISI 409 stainless steel (SS) in chloride media. Additions of 100, 200, and 500 μL of EEP in an aqueous sodium chloride solution were performed. The inhibitory effect on the SS was evaluated using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements up to 720 hours in immersion. EEP additions of 200 μL and 500 μL increased the polarization resistance of the SS. After 720 hours of immersion, the highest impedance was identified for the SS in solution with 500 μL of EEP. The maximum inhibition efficiency observed for addition of 500 μL of EEP in solution was 98.1 %, after 360 h of immersion.
