Pb-PANI-WC inert anodes were prepared by direct current and pulse electrodeposition of PANI (conductive polyaniline) and WC particles with Pb2+ on the surface of titanium (Ti) substrate. The anodic polarization curves, cyclic voltammetry curves and Tafel polarization curves were measured in the solution of 50 g/L Zn2+, 150 g/L H2SO4 and 35°C, and the kinetic parameters of oxygen evolution, voltammetry charge, corrosion potential and corrosion current density have been obtained. The surface morphologies of the coating were investigated by using scanning electron microscope(SEM).The results show that the inert anodes prepared by pulse electrodeposition possess lower overpotential of oxygen evolution, higher electrocatalytic activity, and better reversibility of electrode reaction and corrosion resistance.

AbstractThe electrochemical behavior of gold dissolution in the Cu2+–NH3–S2O32−–EDTA solution has been investigated in detail by deriving and analyzing the Tafel polarization curve, as this method is currently widely implemented for the electrode corrosion analysis. The dissolution rate of gold in Cu2+–NH3–S2O32−–EDTA solution was determined based on the Tafel polarization curves, and the effects of various compound compositions in a Cu2+–NH3–S2O32−–EDTA mixture on the corrosion potential and corrosion current density were analyzed. The results showed that the corrosion potential and polarization resistance decreased, whereas the corrosion current density increased for certain concentrations of S2O32−–NH3–Cu2+ and EDTA, indicating that the dissolution rate of gold had changed. The reason for promoting the dissolution of gold is also discussed.

Microstructural optimization of Al-Li alloys plays a key role in the adjustment of mechanical properties as well as corrosion behavior. In this work, Al-5Cu-1Li-0.6Mg-0.5Ag-0.5Mn alloy was homogenized at different temperatures and holding times, followed by aging treatment. The microstructure and composition of the homogenized alloys and aged alloys were investigated. There were Al7Cu4Li phase, Al3Li phase, and Al2CuLi phases in the homogenized alloys. The Al7Cu4Li phase was dissolved with an increase in homogenization temperature and holding time. Al2Cu phase and Al2CuLi phase coarsened during the homogenization process. The alloy homogenized at 515 °C for 20 h was subjected to a two-stage aging treatment. Peak-age alloy, which had gone through age treatment at 120 °C for 4 h and 180 °C for 6 h, was mainly composed of α-Al, Al20Cu2Mn3, Al2CuLi, Al2Cu, and Al3Li phases. Tafel polarization of the peak-age alloys revealed the corrosion potential and corrosion current density to be −779 mV and 2.979 μA/cm2, respectively. The over-age alloy had a more positive corrosion potential of −658 mV but presented a higher corrosion current of 6.929 μA/cm2.

The microstructure and electrochemical properties of Ce-containing 7072 Al alloy were investigated through transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Tafel polarization analysis. It was found that Ce alloying could result in a formation of finer grains in the simulated brazing alloys. The 7072 Al alloy with 0.15% Ce had desirable distribution of precipitates. The electrochemical testing results indicated that Ce element had a great impact on the corrosion potential of the alloy tested in 0.5% NaCl solution. Alloying with 0.15% Ce element could make the corrosion potential shift to inert direction and reduce the corrosion current density. An excessive Ce addition could weaken its positive effect on the corrosion resistance of the Ce-containing alloy.

In the present work, corrosion characteristics of ceramic dispersion strengthened (CDS) high-Cr stainless steel (SS) has been investigated. For the preparation of CDS SS with uniformly distributed reinforcements, TiC particles were mechanically activated with Cu powder by using high-energy ball mill machine, and then Cu-coated TiC particles were mixed with molten SS. Potentiodynamic polarization curves were experimentally measured on unmodified SS and CDS SS in 0.05 M NaCl solution. The values of corrosion potential Ecorr, corrosion current io, pitting potential Epit and polarization resistance Rp were quantitatively determined from the measured potentiodynamic polarization curves. From the result, it is concluded that CDS SS exhibits higher corrosion resistivity than unmodified SS.

To improve the corrosion resistance of Al alloy, triethylamine (TEN) was added into the sealing solutions. Tafel polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS) techniques were used to investigate the electrochemical behavior of sealing coatings formed in different concentrations of triethylamine(TEN). Compared with the coatings with D. I. water and the bare aluminum alloy, the polarization curves show that the sealing coatings formed in 5.0 – 7 .0 g.L-1 triethylamine (TEN) solutions have more positive corrosion potential (Ecorr) and pitting corrosion potential (Epit), and lower corrosion current density (icorr). Electrochemical parameters of EIS indicate that the sealing coatings have higher corrosion resistance. The electrochemical test results show the prepared sealing coatings have better corrosion resistance.

The post-treatment with Ce-rich sealing of Ni-P coating (Ce-sealed Ni-P coating) was developed on Al surface. Effects of corrosion resistance with different phosphorus contents in the Ni-P coatings were investigated in this paper. The results of the polarization curves show that the Ce-sealed Ni-(10wt.%)P coatings have the higher corrosion potential (Ecorr) and the lower corrosion current (icorr), indicating that this coating iSubscript texts a better corrosion inhibitor than Ni-(3wt.%)P coating. These results demonstrate that the P content plays an obvious role on improving the corrosion resistance of Ni-P coatings. It is results of SEM analysis shows that the Ce-sealed Ni-(3wt.%)P coating has not obvious micro-cracks, the Ce-sealed Ni-(10wt.%)P surface with some micro-cracks are appeared on Ce-rich coating. But this micro-cracks phenomenon of Ce-rich coating can not effect on corrosion resistance. Otherwise, there are no peaks of Ce-riched coatings in both XRD patterns, because too less Ce elements and non-crystal tendency is more serious on these coatings.

Photochemical cathodic protection (PEC) efficiency was enhanced by doping TiO2 with Cu (Cu/TiO2) through impregnation and reduction under hydrogen. The Cu loading was vaired from 0.1 to 1.0 mol% (0.1 Cu/TiO2, 0.5 Cu/TiO2, 1 Cu/TiO2). Then, up to 50 wt% Cu/TiO2 was mixed with TiO2 to form nanocomposite films. The film photocurrent and photopotential were measured under 1 mW/cm2 UV irradiation. The Cu/TiO2 film with 10 wt% of 0.5 Cu/TiO2 exhibited the highest photocurrent of 29.0 mA/g, which was three times higher than the TiO2 film. The underlying reason for the high photocurrent was the lower photopotential of film than the corrosion potential of copper for PEC. This film was also applied on copper terminal lug for anti-corrosion measurement by Tafel polarization in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution. The results showed that the photopotential of terminal lug coated with the film was −0.252 V vs. Ag/AgCl, which was lower than the corrosion potential of copper (−0.222 V vs. Ag/AgCl). Furthermore, the film can protect the corrosion of copper in the dark with 86.7% lower corrosion current (icorr) than that of bare copper.

The corrosion behavior of ZnAl27 alloys in 35g/L NaCl solution has been studied by electrochemical and immersion corrosion tests. The effects of Cu and Sb on the Tafel curves, electrochemical parameters of free corrosion potential, linear polarisation resistance (LPR) and free corrosion current, of the ZnAl27 alloy have been investigated. The surface morphologies of the alloy after immersion corrosion tests have been observed through SEM. The results indicate that addition of proper Cu can improve its corrosion resistance of the alloy, or the free corrosion potential the corrosion current shift towards the positive and negative,respectively. However, excessive addition of Cu can deteriorate the corrosion resistance of the alloy. On the other hand, the corrosion resistance of the ZnAl27 alloy decreases with the increasing of Sb content.

The electrochemical behavior of sealing coatings formed in different concentrations of diethylamine (DEA) was investigated by means of polarization curves and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Compared with the coatings with D. I. water and the bare aluminum alloy, the polarization curves show that the sealing coatings formed in 3.0 – 5.0 ml.L-1 diethylamine (DEA) solutions have more positive corrosion potential (Ecorr) and pitting corrosion potential (Epit), and lower corrosion current density (icorr). Electrochemical parameters of EIS indicate that the sealing coatings have higher corrosion resistance. The electrochemical tests present that the prepared sealing coatings have better corrosion resistance.
