The crevice corrosion behaviors of X52 carbon steel in two typical Cl--containing solutions were investigated by electrochemical noise and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Results show that oxygen concentration difference leads to the coupled current in NaCl + NaHCO3 solution while HAc concentration difference causes the coupled current in NaCl solution saturated with CO2 in the presence of HAc. There exists an apparent incubation stage during the crevice corrosion process of X52 carbon steel in the former. However, no obvious incubation period of crevice corrosion can be observed in the latter. Micrography shows that the crevice corrosion occurs indeed and the corrosion inside the crevice is not uniform.

Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is a technology of nondestructive electrochemical testing. In this paper, EIS is applied to study the corrosion processes of Al-Mg coatings. In the initial 24 h of immersion in 3.5% NaCl solution, passive films of Al-Mg coatings dissolve quickly. As time passed, corrosion products increase on surface gradually, which can inhibit corrosion. After 480h of immersion, corrosion products fully cover on Al-Mg coatings’ surface. The EIS of different corrosion processes are fitted by three equivalent circuits corresponding to the three corrosion processes. In the test of open circuit potentials (OCP), OCP is instable in the initial 24 h of immersion. As immersion time goes by, OCP tends to stabilization at about -0.90 V. Measurements of scanning electron microscope (SEM) confirm the conclusions of electrochemical measurements.

Electrochemical corrosion behavior of epoxy aluminum coating immersed in 3.5%NaCl solution was investigated using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). SEM was also used to analyze the surface images of coating, and the failure mechanism was discussed as well. The experimental results showed that corrosive species can penetrate into coatings and reach the coating/substrate interface promptly, causing the decrease of electro-resistance and the beginning of electrochemical corrosion at the coatings/metal interface. The coating was compact and continuous at beginning, while the blisters and cavities appeared after corrosion, which were formed osmotic pressure created by corrosion species penetration.

In order to determine the diesel contribution in the coadsorption process of the oil-soluble inhibitors, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements have been carried out to study the performance of oil-soluble inhibitors in both presence and absence of diesel and CO2. The results showed that the presence of the oil phase provides some protection to the steel because the water-soluble fractions are capable of being adsorbed on the steel surface thereby reducing the corrosion rate. The oily phase does not contribute to the adsorption process of the inhibitor because the inhibitor is absorbed into the water-soluble fractions. The oil-soluble inhibitors are effective only when the solution is saturated with CO2. CO2saturation causes a decrease in the pH of the solution causing both an increase of the inhibitor solubility and a better dispersion of the inhibitor into the electrolyte.

Research on improving the corrosion resistance of carbon steel has become a hot topic in the iron and steel field in recent years. Copper plating on the surface of carbon steel is considered an effective means to improve its corrosion resistance, but the copper-plated carbon steel material prepared by this method has the problems of poor abrasion resistance, easy delamination of copper layer and similar issues, which affect the service performance of the copper-plated carbon steel material. To solve this problem, a new type of material whose surface is copper and the copper element is gradually diffused into carbon steel was developed by a plating-diffusion method, which is defined as a copper-carbon steel gradient material. Carbon steel with a copper plated surface and the Cu-Fe/carbon steel gradient material with 80% Cu content on the surface were prepared by the same method. The cross-sectional microstructure and composition of different samples were analysed, and the corrosion behaviors of samples in 3.5% NaCl solution were studied by the linear polarization curve method and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The cross-sectional microstructure result shows that the diffusion of copper in carbon is mainly carried out along its grain boundary, and the diffusion of copper will inhibit the growth of grains during heat treatment. As shown in the results of corrosion behaviors, there is no pitting corrosion in the corrosion process of all samples, as well as the stable passive film. All samples showed active dissolution. Compared with carbon steel, the corrosion potential of the Cu/carbon steel gradient material becomes more positive from −600 mV to −362 mV,the corrosion current density decreases from 53.0 μA/cm2 to 30.6 μA/cm2 and the radius of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy enlarges while the corrosion resistance is improved, and the corrosion resistance is mainly obtained by its surface copper layer. The corrosion resistance of Cu-Fe/carbon steel gradient material is lower than that of Cu/carbon steel gradient material, while it is still better than carbon steel, and it shows a clear passivation trend during corrosion. Therefore, the copper/carbon steel gradient material can significantly improve the corrosion resistance of carbon steel. Even after the surface copper layer is destroyed, the gradient material can protect the matrix and improve the service life of the material.

AbstractThe present study aims at deposition of zinc phosphate coatings on low carbon steel with incorporated nano- TiO2 particles by chemical phosphating method. The coated low carbon steel samples were assessed in corrosion studies using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and potentiodynamic polarization techniques (Tafel) in 3.5% NaCl solution. Morphology and chemical composition of the coatings were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy in order to observe growth of coating. Significant variations in the coating weight, porosity and corrosion resistance were observed with the addition of nano- TiO2 in the phosphating bath. Corrosion rate of nano-TiO2 chemical phosphate coated samples was found to be 3.5 milli inches per year which was 3 times less than the normal phosphate-coated sample (8 mpy). Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy studies reveal reduction of porosity of nano-TiO2 phosphate coated samples. It was found that nano-TiO2 particles in the phosphating solution yielded uniform phosphate coatings of higher coating weight, fewer defects and enhanced corrosion resistance than the normal zinc phosphate coatings (developed using normal phosphating bath).
