Pure Cu samples were subjected to equal channel angular pressing (ECAP), and the corrosion resistance of the samples was investigated by potentiodynamic polarization measurements and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements in 3.5% NaCl solution. The results show that the corrosion rate of the ultrafine-grained Cu decreases, in comparison with the coarse-grained Cu.

The aim of this study was to investigate the corrosion resistance of ultrafine-grained (UFG) Ti-6Al-7Nb fabricated by equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) and coarse-grained (CG) Ti- 6Al- 7Nb. The microstructure of each specimen was investigated by the electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) method. The corrosion behavior of each specimen was determined by electrochemical measurement in Ringer’s solution. The surface corroded morphologies and oxide film formed on Ti-6Al-7Nb alloy after electrochemical measurement were investigated by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). EBSD investigation shows that the grain size of UFG Ti-6Al-7Nb decreased to ~0.4 µm, accompanied by low angle grain boundaries (LAGBs) accounting for 39%. Potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) results indicated that UFG Ti-6Al-7Nb alloy possessed a better corrosion resistance. The surface corroded morphologies revealed many small and shallow corrosion pits, which can be attributed to the good compactness of the oxide film and a rapid self- repairing ability of the UFG Ti-6Al-7Nb alloy.

To improve the corrosion resistance of Ni-P electroless coating, the KI was added in the electroless solution. The surface micrograph was observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the corrosion resistance of Ni-P coatings in 3.5%NaCl solution was examined by polarization curves and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The experimental results showed that KI reduced the amount of defects and the size of crystal grain of Ni-P coating, and the surface of Ni-P coating became more homogenous, smoother and compact by KI. In addition, the phosphorus content of Ni-P coating was increased by KI. These factors increased the ability to corrosion protection of Ni-P coating.

Galvanizing on the surface of reinforcing steel is an effective measure to control corrosion of reinforcing concrete structures. The corrosion behaviors of hot-dip galvanized (HDG) reinforcing steel in simulated concrete pore solution (SCP solution) with various pH and chlodride values were investigated using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Two equivalent circuit models corresponding to the corrosion process were proposed and the evolution feature of the corrosion parameters were analyzed. The results show that when the SCP solution was carbonated seriously (pH<11), there is hydrogen evolution phenomenon and the corrosion resistance of HDG reinforcing steel is decreased. A minute carbonation of SCP solution (11.5≤pH<12.5) favors the further passivation of the zinc layer and the corrosion resistance is enhanced. The corrosion rate of HDG reinforcing steel at pH=12.0 is minimal, around 0.59 μm/year, whereas that at pH=12.5 is approximate 1.21 μm/year. In the conditions of pH=12.5 and NaCl concentration no more than 0.5wt.%, the corrosion resistance of the passivation film on HDG reinforcing steel is good. In a serious carbonation case, the corrosion rate is increased greatly with chloride ions.

Magnesium is one of the elements necessary for the body, is the man behind the body’s content of potassium ions within the cell are involved in a series of metabolic processes in vivo, including the formation of bone cells , acceleration of bone healing ability. Resulting from the good mechanical properties and biocompatibility, magnesium alloy is used in medical intervention material, but the high corrosion rate of magnesium alloys is the main drawback to their widespread use, especially in biomedical applications. There is a need for developing new coatings that provide simultaneously corrosion resistance and enhanced biocompatibility. In this work the medical magnesium alloy surface are dipped and coated with polylactic acid, so that obtain a dense uniform polylactic acid coating. And the corrosion resistance of the coating is studied in order to obtain controlled degradable and corrosion resisted magnesium alloy biological material. This paper mainly studies the influence of different concentrations of polylactic acid coating on AZ91D magnesium alloy corrosion resistance. The coated samples were immersed in Hank’s solution and the coating performance was studied by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. This research is about the influence of the coating on the corrosion resistance of magnesium alloy through the open circuit potential, polarization curves, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and Mott-Schottky. The results confirmed that the polylactic acid slow down the corrosion rate of AZ91D magnesium alloys in Hank’s solution. And along with the increase of poly lactic acid concentration, the corrosion resistance of magnesium alloys is improved. There is a wide variation of the corrosion morphology magnesium alloy AZ91D specimens after the surface modification using polylactic acid coating, compared with the unmodified.

The electrochemical behavior of corrosion resistance alloys (316L SS, 2205 DSS and Inconel 625) was carried out at ambient temperature in 3.5% NaCl solution using potentiodynamic polarisation and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques. Some significant characterization parameters such as Ecorr, Eb, Icorrand △E in polarisation curves were analyzed and compared to reveal the corrosion resistance of corrosion resistance alloys. The ZsimpWin software was utilized to discuss the Nyquist plots of various corrosion resistance alloys. The result shows that the corrosion resistance of the corrosion resistance alloys in 3.5% NaCl solution at ambient temperature follows the sequence: Inconel 625> 2205 DSS > 316L SS.

The polyurea was modified by adding different amounts of nanometer ZnO. The corrosion behavior of polyurea/primer composite coating system in wet-dry cyclic environment of 3.5% NaCl solution was studied by using the Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) measurement and adhesion test technology. The experimental result showed that, different mass fractions of nanometer ZnO had different influences on the corrosion resistance property of coating. When the mass fraction of nanometer ZnO was 5%, the composite coating had the largest protective action. The corrosion resistance property of nanometer ZnO can be improved by increasing the density of polyurea coating, however, the corrosion resistance property of polyurea coating will be weakened in case of exceeding the critical adding amount.
