To improve the corrosion resistance of Al alloy, diethylamine (DEA) was added into the sealing solutions. 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.

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.

Monoethanolamine (MEA) was investigated as corrosion inhibitors of a 6063 aluminum alloy in 3.5 % solution using polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy techniques and weight loss. The polarization curves show that monoethanolamine (MEA) can increase corrosion potential (Ecorr) and pitting corrosion potential (Epit), and decrease corrosion current density (icorr) of the 6063 aluminum alloy. EIS results indicate that monoethanolamine (MEA) can increase impedance of the 6063 aluminum alloy. The results show that monoethanolamine exhibits better inhibitor properties for the 6063 aluminum alloy. Electrochemical test results show monoethanolamine (MEA) can improve corrosion resistance and the inhibition action depends on the concentration of the inhibitor. The weight-loss experiment also proves that monoethanolamine (MEA) can improve the corrosion resistance of the 6063 Al alloy.

Abstract The effect of adding cerium on the microstructure and acid rain corrosion resistance of the AlSi11Cu3 alloy was investigated by means of optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and energy dispersive spectroscopy. The AlSi11Cu3 alloy was doped with varying stoichiometries of cerium to generate AlSi11Cu3-xCe, where x = 0, 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 wt.%. The results show that the α-Al, eutectic Si, and β-Al5FeSi phases in the AlSi11Cu3-1.0Ce alloy are significantly refined. Electrochemical tests demonstrated an increase in the self-corrosion potential value of the AlSi11Cu3-1.0Ce alloy from –670 mV to –628 mV relative to the untreated alloy. In addition, the AlSi11Cu3-1.0Ce alloy has the lowest corrosion current density (8.4 μA × cm–2). Immersion corrosion testing on the AlSi11Cu3-1.0Ce alloy revealed a corrosion rate of 0.71 mg × cm–2 × d–1, constituting a 72% reduction in the corrosion rate compared to the untreated alloy. These results indicate that the AlSi11Cu3-1.0Ce alloy has a high resistance to acid rain corrosion, which is the result of a refinement of the cathode phases.

The corrosion behavior of Mg-6mass%Al alloy with different microstructure conditions was studied by electrochemical method in Na2SO4 and NaCl solutions. A measurement of polarization curves was carried out in order to investigate the fundamental electrochemical characteristics. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was carried out to discuss the corrosion characteristics that were obtained from polarization curves. Electrochemical measurements were carried out with as-cast, as solution-treated and two kinds of aged specimens, respectively. For measurement of polarization curves, the apparent difference was exhibited in behavior showing the pitting corrosion by difference of solutions. In all specimens, the corrosion current density which occurred in four kinds of specimens was higher in the NaCl solution than in Na2SO4 solution.

In this paper, the feasibility of inhibitor auxiliary re-alkalization was investigated. The effect of realkalization auxiliary inhibitor repair technique was studied by simulative experiment. It studied the changes of electrochemical parameters of the natural carbonated reinforced concrete during the electrochemical realkalization in 1mol/L Na2CO3 solution and the mixed solution of 1mol/L Na2CO3 and 1 mol/L DMEA , as well as the impedance spectroscopy and polarization curves in the process of relaxation. The results showed that: there appears to be no effect of DMEA on the corrosion potential and the impedance of the steel in the process of realkalization. That was, the performance was the same as that in the sodium carbonate solution except corrosion current of rebar with DMEA which showed much lower. But of the samples which the DMEA existed in the electrolyte was significantly shorter at the same relaxation time after realkalization. At the same relaxation time the corrosion potential was more positive and the corrosion current density was smaller. It improved significantly the effect of realkalization.

Objectives. In this study we evaluated corrosion resistance of three types of metal alloys (two NiCr and one CoCr). Methods. Samples (coded A, B, C) of circular shape, with dimensions 13 x 1.5 mm, sanded and polished, were introduced in Fusayama Meyer artificial saliva at pH 5.2 and 37 ± 0.5°C and tested in terms of corrosion resistance with a potentiostat/galvanostat (model 4000 PARSTAT, Princeton Applied Research). Results. Open circuit potential EOC [mV] ranged between 21.316 and 5.75. Corrosion potential Ecor [mV] was between -73.536 and -395.662, and the corrosion current density icor [A/cm2] was between 1.237 x 10-6 and 905.13 x 10-9. Conclusion. The best corrosion behavior in Fusayama Meyer artificial saliva at pH 5.2 and at a temperature of 37 ± 0.5°C is the alloy A, followed by the alloy C.

Phytic acid coatings were formed on 6063-Al alloy during immersion in phytic acid solution with various pH and phytic acid concentration for different time. The corrosion resistance of the coated samples was investigated using Tafel polarization technique. The results show that the effect of technological parameters on corrosion resistance of phytic acid coatings is great. With the increase of pH, the corrosion resistance of the coated sample is firstly increased and latterly decreased; it is optimum when pH was 3.0. The corrosion resistance of phytic acid coatings is increased largely with phytic acid concentration and immersion time. The anodic and cathodic corrosion processes of the coated 6063-Al alloy are inhibited markedly, and the corrosion current density is decreased for more than two orders of magnitude.

Zn-Al-Mg alloys with hypoeutectic microstructure were melted through a high frequency induction furnace. The content of aluminum and magnesium in the alloys were between 1% to 2%. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was utilized to analyze microstructure and phase, respectively. Effect of alloying element contents on corrosion resistance was studied. Results show that the Zn-Al-Mg alloys are almost covered by primarily solidified Zn rich block phase and fine lamellar binary and ternary eutectic microstructure exist between the Zn rich phase. The corrosion resistance was characterized through electrochemical test which indicates that increasing Al and Mg content in the Zn-Al-Mg alloys decline corrosion current density. For alloys with 1% Al, more magnesium means lower corrosion potential. For alloys with 2% Al, however, more magnesium suggests higher corrosion potential. In Nyquist curves of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) test, Warburg impedance portion could be found for all alloys. With increasing alloying elements content in the Zn-Al-Mg alloys, charge transfer resistance in higher frequency remarkably increase, which implies higher corrosion resistance.

Ceramic coatings were prepared on Ti6Al4V in aluminate-based electrolyte by microarc oxidation at various voltages using potentiostatic regime. The phase composition, microstructure and morphology of the coatings were characterized by eddy thickness gauge, XRD and SEM respectively. The corrosion resistance of the coatings was investigated by polarization curve and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in 3.5% NaCl aqueous solution. The results show that all the coatings are mainly composed of Al2TiO5. When the voltage increases from 360V to 510V, the coating thickness grows significantly, and the pores in the coatings get large and deep simultaneously. As a result, the corrosion resistance of the coatings increases first and then decreases with the turning point of 410V, at which the coating prepared shows the smallest corrosion current density of 1.965E-9 A/cm2. The coating prepared at a higher voltage before the discharges grow large and intense (410V in this work) shows the best corrosion resistance.
