iamond cutting wire, as a new one, could overcome the defects of traditional cutting wire and would have a wide potential application. Electroplating diamond wire was prepared by composite electroplating in this article. The influence of cathodic current density, the diamond content in the electrolyte and other process conditions on the amount of diamond in the composite coating was checked by EDTA titration analysis. Effects of the diamond content in the electrolyte on electrochemical process of copper-diamond composite electro-deposition were investigated by measuring electrochemical polarization curves. With increasing the cathode current density and the diamond content in the electrolyte, the amount of diamond in the composite increased firstly, and reached a maximum, then decreased. The cathode current decreased with the increase of diamond content in the electrolyte. Copper-diamond composite plating process could be explained by Guglielmi two-step adsorption mechanism. The influence of plating parameters on the deposition behaviors of copper–diamond composite coating layers is ascribe to the change of diamond adsorption state on the cathode surface. After heat treatment, the largest wire tensile force is 159.7 N and the tensile strength reaches to 2258.8 MP.

Sodium expansion plays an important role in cathode deterioration during aluminum electrolysis. In this work, the sodium expansion of semigraphitic cathode material has been measured at various cathodic current densities using a modified Rapoport apparatus. We have studied the microstructural changes of carbon cathodes after aluminum electrolysis using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). Because of an increasing trend toward higher amperage in retrofitted aluminum reduction cells, an investigation is conducted both at a representative cathode current density (0.45 A/cm2) and at a high cathodic current density (0.7 A/cm2). The results indicate that the microstructures of carbon cathodes can be modified by Joule heating and electrostatic charging with higher current densities during aluminum electrolysis. With the penetration of the sodium and melt, zigzag and armchair edges, disordered carbon, and exfoliation of the surface layers may appear in the interior of the carbon cathode. The penetration of the sodium and melt causes remarkable stresses and strains in the carbon cathodes, that gradually result in performance degradation. This shows that increasing the amperage in aluminum reduction cells may exacerbate the material deterioration of the cathodes.

The extent of the oxygen reduction reaction in concrete was evaluated for ~9% Cr rebar approaching the ASTM A1035 specification and compared to that of conventional carbon steel rebar, at ages of up to ~1 year. Cathodic strength was measured by the cathodic current density developed at −0.35 V vs. copper/copper sulfate (Cu/CuSO4 [CSE]) and −0.40 VCSE in cyclic cathodic potentiodynamic polarization tests, both in the as-received condition with mill scale and with scale removed by glass bead surface blasting. In both conditions the ~9% Cr alloy was a substantially weaker cathode, by a factor of several fold, than carbon steel. Within each material, the surface-blasted condition yielded also much lower cathodic current density than the as-received condition. For a small anode-large cathode system with a given anode polarization function, and no important oxygen reduction concentration polarization, the corrosion current was projected to be significantly lower if the cathodic region were ~9% Cr instead of plain steel rebar with comparable surface condition. There was strong correlation between the charge storage capability of the interface and the extent of cathodic reaction of oxygen. The result cannot be ascribed solely to differences in effective surface area between the different materials and conditions.

The early stages of localised corrosion affecting magnesium (Mg) surfaces when immersed in aqueous sodium chloride (NaCl) solutions involves the propagation of dark regions, within which both anodic metal dissolution and cathodic hydrogen evolution occur. For nominally “pure” Mg, these dark areas can either take the form of discs which expand radially with time, or filiform-like tracks which lengthen with time. For Mg surfaces which display disc-form corrosion features in concentrated NaCl electrolyte, a transition to filiform corrosion (FFC) is observed as the concentration is decreased, indicating ohmic constraints on radial propagation. A similar effect is observed when Mg specimens of different iron impurity are immersed in a fixed, high concentration NaCl solution, where disc-form corrosion is observed on samples having ≥280 ppm Fe, but FFC predominates at ≤80 ppm Fe. An in situ scanning vibrating electrode technique (SVET) is used to determine current density distributions within the propagating corrosion features. Cathodic current density values of between −100 and −150 A m−2 measured in central areas of disc-like features are sufficient to sustain the radial growth of a local anode at the perimeter of the discs. However, for high purity Mg specimens (≤80 ppm Fe), cathodic current densities of −10 A m−2 or less are measured over FFC affected regions, indicating that linear propagation arises when there is insufficient cathodic current produced on the corroded surface to sustain radial growth. The results are consistent with surface control of localised corrosion propagation in concentrated electrolyte, but ohmic control in dilute, lower conductivity NaCl solution.

In this study, the ability of the electrochemical process to remove aqueous high concentration phenol using an electrochemical cell with aluminum anode and cathode was examined. The removal rate of phenol was monitored using different parameters phenol concentration, pH, electrolysis time, current density, and electrode distance. Obtained results indicated that the low removal rates of phenol were observed at both low and high pH. However, the removal rate of phenol increased with an increase in the current density, each electrochemical process conditions need a certain electrodes distance. removal rate of phenol decreased with the increase in the initial phenol concentration. The maximum removal rate of phenol obtained from this study was 82%.

The presence of hydrogen in steel decreases its toughness and formability leading to hydrogen embrittlement. To understand the failure mechanisms of steel due to the presence of hydrogen, a profound insight in the hydrogen household of the steel is needed. This includes a study of the solubility, the diffusion and the trapping of hydrogen. Next, the absorption and desorption behavior during and after electrolytic charging must be well determined. This was investigated in this research for steels with various types of traps, e.g. dislocations, microcracks, grain boundaries and precipitates such as TiC and Ti4C2S2. The samples were cathodically charged at three different current densities: 0.8mA/cm2; 8.3mA/cm2 and 62.5mA/cm2. It was noticed that the cathodic current density used for hydrogen loading had a great influence on the results. Observation of the samples by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed that at the highest current density major damage of the surface had occurred. Hence it was decided to study more systematically the influence of charging current density on the resulting surface aspect and on hydrogen absorption and desorption. The hydrogen charging kinetics, maximum hydrogen solubility and hydrogen desorption behavior have also been evaluated for the different current densities during charging.

AbstractThe electrorefining of cobalt in NaCl-KCl-K2TiF6 (20 wt%) melt has been investigated. It was shown that complexes of Ti(III) and Co(II) appeared in the melt due to the reaction 2Ti(IV) + Co → 2Ti(III) + Co(II) and this reaction was entirely shifted to the right hand side. On the base of linear sweep voltammetry diagnostic criteria it was found that the discharge of Co(II) to Co metal is controlled by diffusion. The limiting current density of discharge Co(II) to metal in NaCl-KCl-K2TiF6 (20 wt%) melt was determined by steady-state voltammetry. The electrorefining of cobalt was carried out in hermetic electrolyser under argon atmosphere. Initial cathodic current density was changed from 0.2 Acm−2 up to 0.7 Acm−2, the electrolysis temperature varied within 973 - 1123 K. Behaviour of impurities during cobalt electrorefining was discussed. It was shown that electrorefining led to the elimination of most of the interstitial impurities (H2, N2, O2, C), with the result that the remaining impurity levels below 10 ppm impart high ductility to cobalt.

Abstract The cathodic protection of iron was studied in the temperature range 25 C to 92 C. The limiting protective current density and the open circuit cathodic current density for iron in dilute NaCl solution goes through a temperature maximum at roughly 75 C. This is explained in terms of the effect of decreasing oxygen solubility at the higher temperature on the local cathodic reaction, 2H+ + O2 + 4e = 20H- Iron corrodes under cathodic control at room temperature, whereas at the higher temperatures there is a mixed cathodic-anodic control. Cathodic polarization curves for iron in dilute NaCl solution were obtained in the temperature range 25 C to 92 C. Unsteady potentials were observed in the vicinity of the limiting protective current, whereas at higher and lower currents, steady potentials were observed. The current density at which the potential of the iron reaches —0.5 volt on the hydrogen scale gives satisfactory protection. The nature of the corrosion products of iron is unaffected by temperature in the range studied. 5.2.2
