Pyrrole was successfully polymerized on copper surface in ethanol solution using hydrogen peroxide as catalyst to generate an adherent and homogeneous polypyrrole (PPy) coating. The PPy was formed of clusters composed of small spherical grains. The layer has remained stable when immersed in 0.1mol L-1 NaCl for 7 days, which indicated that the copper-PPy arrangement is stable in corrosive environment. The polarisation curves showed that the PPy layer can promote a positive displacement in the corrosion potential compared to the value of the uncoated copper. It also was observed that the corrosion current density decreases sharply in the presence of the lauric acid as dopant. These results indicate that PPy-lauric acid can act as a protective layer on copper and improve the overall corrosion performance.

The in situ chemical deposition of polypyrrole (Ppy) in presence of different concentrations of salicylic acid (SA) directly at copper 99.9% surface in ethanol solution using hydrogen peroxide as catalyst was studied. In all the concentrations, 50.0, 25.0, 12.5 and 6.25 mmol L-1 the polymerization was possible. The layer formed on the copper surface showed to be adherent and homogeneous. Its morphology presented as compact microspheres. The polarization curves showed a positive displacement in the corrosion potential of copper with undoped Ppy when compared to the polished copper surface. Copper surfaces containing doped Ppy-SA also showed an increase to the positive direction in the corrosion potential and the corrosion current density decreases more sharply in the presence of SA as dopant. These results indicated that Ppy+SA can act as a protective layer on copper surface and improve the corrosion protection. The protection efficiency of the coating was Cu surface < Cu+Ppy < Cu+Ppy+SA 50.0 < Cu+Ppy+SA 25.0 < Cu+Ppy+SA 12.5 < Cu+Ppy+SA 6.25 mmol L-1.

Abstract The effect of 0.5 wt. % Nickel (Ni)-coated precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) additions on the corrosion properties of Sn-9Zn solder was investigated in 3.5% sodium chloride (NaCl) solution employing potentiodynamic polarization. The morphological differences before and after corrosion analysis have been investigated to support the findings. The scan rate used was 1 mVs−1 after stable potential developed. Slight improvement of corrosion potential (Ecorr) with a significant reduction in corrosion current (icorr) was seen for the Sn-9Zn/Ni-coated PCC compared to Sn-9Zn, indicating the kinetics of corrosion reaction was reduced. The current consumed under the passivation stage for the Sn-9Zn/Ni-coated PCC was also smaller, highlighting that further corrosion protection was improved. Microstructural observation also verified that the number and size of blackish spot clusters were reduced for the Sn-9Zn/Ni-coated PCC, revealing that Ni-PCC additions improve the overall corrosion performance of Sn-9Zn solder.

To improve corrosion performance of coatings on AZ31B magnesium alloy, the nano-CeO2 additives were included in Na2SiO3 based electrolyte during process of pulse micro arc oxidation (MAO). The MAO-CeO2 coating was successfully prepared to characterize its structure, micro morphology and composition. The XRD results indicated that MAO-CeO2 coatings were consisted of Mg2SiO4, MgSiO3, MgF2 and CeO2. The intensity of CeO2 peaks increases with increasing nano-CeO2 particles in electrolyte. The number of cracks on MAO-CeO2 coatings exhibited a V-shaped trend with increase in nano-CeO2 content. Meanwhile, the influence of nano-CeO2 on corrosion behavior of MAO-CeO2 coatings is investigated by salt spray test and electrochemical measurement. The corrosion current density of coatings presented same trend and corrosion potential is further studied. The MAO-CeO2 coatings formed in electrolyte with 10 g/L nano-CeO2 showed best corrosion performance which has the lowest corrosion current density of 0.58 nA/cm2 and the highest corrosion potential of - 1269 mVSCE.

The self-assembled monolayer (SAM) was prepared using octadecyl trichlorosilane (OTS) in distilled solution on the copper surface. The effect of inhibitor concentration on the rate of inhibition efficiency and corrosion rate in corrosion medium on copper by using polarization curves, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), scanning electron microscope (SEM) was studied. The results showed that OTS SAMs exhibit the better corrosion resistance; the corrosion potential of copper OTS SAMs protection increased by about 1.02 V, while the corrosion current density decreased to 0.59 μA/cm2. The corrosion rate is minimized and flattened and can reach 9.2% while the inhibition efficiency reached 95.4%, when the corrosion inhibitor has concentration of 40 ppm.

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 inhibiting action of Thai-bael fruit extract at room temperature on hot-rolled steel in 1M HCl solution was studied. The chemical functional groups of the green inhibitors were characterized by Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy. The electrochemical activities of steel surface were investigated through linear polarization measurements, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, surface assessment techniques based on optical microscopy and X-ray absorption spectroscopy. Electrochemical testing samples have been prepared in the form of square plates with the size 1 × 1 cm2. The organic corrosion inhibitor extract from Thai-bael fruit has shown the smallest corrosion current density (Icorr) of 114.8 μA cm-2 and corrosion potential (Ecorr) of -424.6 mV, compared with standard Ag/AgCl electrode potential. In comparison, similar tests in the bare HCl solutions yielded Icorr = 882.4 mA cm-2 and Ecorr = -445.8 mV. The mixed-type corrosion inhibiting behaviour was evidenced in the results of the polarization measurements. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy reveals that the resistance to charge transfer due to the presence of the extracts has been increased by about four times that of the same test on the bare HCl solution, indicating the formation of a protective layer. The adsorption of the organic molecules near the steel-electrolyte interface is evident in the decreasing double-layer capacitance with the enhancing concentration levels of the extract. This latter finding supports the displacement of the water molecules by means of the adsorption of the inhibitors on the steel surface. The optical images of steel surface before and after being immersed in HCl solution also showed pieces of evidence of corrosion retardation. XANES study as well as the linear combination fitting revealed that the samples immersed in HCl solutions with Thai-bael fruit extract possess less Fe3+ compositions. All tendencies across the four examinations indicate that Thai-bael fruit extract could potentially inhibit the corrosion reaction of steel electrodes in the acidic solution.

In-situ AlxNiy reinforced aluminium matrix composites (AMCs) were produced by stir-casting route by adding 5, 10 and 15 weight percentage (wt.%) of Ni to AA6061 aluminum alloy. The density, porosity, microstructure, hardness and corrosion behaviour of the as-cast AMCs was studied and compared with that of the as-cast AA6061 alloy. The porosity in all the castings was found to be less than 0.1%. Further, the porosity was found to decrease with increase in Ni addition. Optical microscopy studies showed that in-situ formed AlxNiy was distributed along the dendritic arms. The distribution became non-homogeneous and coarse with increase in AlxNiy content. The coarse distribution of AlxNiy in the AA6061 matrix also resulted in the decrease in hardness of the composite, after an initial increase in hardness till 10 wt.% Ni addition. The open circuit potential (OCP) and corrosion potential (Ecorr) of the AMCs with 5, 10 and 15 wt. of % Ni addition was noble than that of the AA6061 alloy. This was understood to be due to the presence of AlxNiy intermetallic which is known to have a noble corrosion potential than the aluminium alloy. However, the corrosion current (icorr) increased while the polarization resistance (Rp) decreased with increase in Ni addition in the AMC. This indicates that the coarse non-homogeneous distribution of in-situ AlxNiy had a detrimental effect on the corrosion performance of the AMCs.

ABSTRACTThe purpose of this study was to characterize KOH based electrolytes and effects of additives on electro-chemical mechanical planarization. The electrochemical mechanical polisher was made to measure the potentiodynamic curve and removal rate of Cu. The potentiodynamic curves were measured in static and dynamic states in investigated electrolytes using a potentiostat. Cu disk of 2 inch was used as a working electrode and Pt electroplated platen was used as a counter electrode. KOH was used as the electrolyte. H2O2 and citric acid were used as additives for the ECMP of Cu. In static and dynamic potentiodynamic measurements, the corrosion potential decreased and corrosion current increased as a function of KOH concentration. In dynamic state, different potentiodynamic curve was obtained when compared to the static state. The current density did not decrease in passivation region by mechanical polishing effect. The static etch and removal rate were measured as function of KOH concentration and applied voltage. In ECMP system, polishing was performed at 30 rpm and 1 psi. The removal rate was about 60 nm/min at 0.3 V when 5 wt% KOH was used. Also, the effect of additive was investigated in KOH based electrolyte on removal rates. As a result, The removal rate was increased to 350 nm/min when 5wt% KOH, 5vol% H2O2, 0.3 M citric acid were used.

Nd-Fe-B magnets present outstanding magnetic properties. However, due to their low corrosion resistance, their applications are limited to non-corrosive environments. Nowadays, significant efforts are underway to increase the corrosion resistance of these materials, through the use of coatings. Herein are presented the results of a study on the corrosion resistance of Nd-Fe-B magnets coated with polypyrrole (PPY). The electrochemical behavior of coated and uncoated magnets has been studied by Electrochemical Impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in synthetic saliva. The results were compared to previous investigations, which were carried out under similar conditions, in Na2SO4 and NaCl solutions. In sulphate solution, the corrosion resistance of the PPY-coated magnet was 3 times larger (1600 .cm2) than that of uncoated magnet (500 .cm2). In NaCl solution, however, the corrosion resistance of coated and uncoated magnets were very similar (250 .cm2). In synthetic saliva, both the uncoated and coated magnets presented good corrosion performance (1940 .cm2). Such behavior can be attributed to the phosphate ions in saliva, which play a role as corrosion inhibitor, producing phosphating, at least partially, of the magnet surface. The PPY-coated magnets presented a strong diffusional control from moderate to low frequencies, caused by the polypyrrole film. The thicker PPY film increased the corrosion resistance of the magnet in synthetic saliva.
