The electrodeposited Ni-P coatings are commonly used for their electrocatalytic properties towards hydrogen evolution reaction. However, their corrosion resistance in concentrated alkaline solutions is still less known. In this work, the effect of phosphorus on the resistance of nickel electrodeposits to electrochemical corrosion in 5 M KOH solution, was studied. Open circuit potential and anodic polarization measurements were performed to determine parameters of the corrosion resistance of the crystalline Ni deposit and amorphous Ni-P electrocoating. It was found that alloying of nickel with phosphorus is the effective manner of the improvement of the corrosion resistance of the nickel coatings. The obtained Ni-P electrode material contained 10 wt.% of P and revealed amorphous structure. The increase in the corrosion resistance of the Ni90P10system as compared to that determined for comparable Ni polycrystalline electrode was due to phosphate formation responsible for broad passivation potential in alkaline medium and amorphous structure.

The effect of Cu addition on the electrochemical corrosion behavior of Ni3Al intermetallic alloy was investigated by potentiodynamic polarization, open-circuit potential, linear polarization resistance, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy in 1.0 M H2SO4solution. Performance of the pure elements (Cu, Ni, and Al) was also evaluated. In general, Cu addition improved the corrosion resistance of Ni3Al. Electrochemical measurements show that corrosion resistance of Ni3Al-1Cu alloy is lower than that of other intermetallic alloys and pure elements (Ni, Cu, and Al) in 1.0 M H2SO4solution at 25°C. Surface analysis showed that the Ni3Al alloys are attacked mainly through the dendritic phases, and Cu addition suppresses the density of dendritic phases.

ABSTRACTElectrochemical polarization experiments were performed on Si wafers in ammoniacal solutions maintained at a pH in the range of 9.5 to 11.5. Anodic polarization of silicon yielded curves which are typical for materials that undergo passivation. The values of open circuit potential and passivation potential for p-type Si wafers were more anodic than for the n-type Si wafers. Corrosion current density of p-type Si wafers of low resistivity was lower than that of wafers of high resistivity. Corrosion current densities correlated well with surface roughness induced in alkaline solutions. Addition of surfactant or H2O2 to alkaline solutions reduced critical current density for passivation and corrosion current density.

The passivation behavior of steel rods and wires those are produced in Nepal was studied in 1 M HCl and 1 M NaOH solutions at 25°C, open to air using immersion tests and electrochemical measurements. The corrosion resistance of all the examined steel rods and wires in this work is found significantly higher in alkaline 1 M NaOH than in acidic 1 M HCl, mostly due to an ennoblement of the open circuit corrosion potentials of the steels at passive potential regions in 1 M NaOH solution at 25°C. The corrosion rate of all the examined steel rods and wires is about in the range of 1-5 x 101 mm/y in acidic 1 M HCl solution which is nearly three orders of magnitude lower corrosion resistance than in alkaline 1 M NaOH solution at 25°C. Therefore, these steel rods and wires seem to be very corrosion resistance materials in very alkaline environments like a reinforcing concrete. Key words: steels; corrosion rate; open circuit potential; immersion test; electrochemical measurements. DOI: 10.3126/njst.v9i0.3181 Nepal Journal of Science and Technology 9 (2008) 91-97

The NiTi alloy (50.6 at.% Ni) passivated for 30 min at 130°C by autoclaving has been studied towards corrosion resistance in aqueous solutions of 3% NaCl, 0.1 M H2SO4, 1 M H2SO4 and HBSS. Structure and thickness of the passive layer (TiO2, rutile) were examined by X-ray reflectivity method and high resolution electron microscopy. Corrosion behavior of this oxide layer was investigated by open circuit potential method and polarization curves. It was found that the corrosion resistance of the passivated NiTi alloy is strongly dependent on the type of corrosive environment. The higher corrosion resistance of the tested samples was revealed in sulfate solutions as compared to chloride ones. The highest resistance to electrochemical corrosion of the NiTi alloy was observed in 0.1 M H2SO4 solution. Susceptibility to pitting corrosion of the tested samples was observed which increased with the concentration rise of chlorine anions in solution. Electrochemical tests for 316L stainless steel carried out under the same experimental conditions revealed a weaker corrosion resistance in all solutions as compared to the highly corrosion resistant NiTi alloy.

Simultaneous additions of tungsten, chromium and zirconium in the chromium- and zirconium-enriched sputter-deposited binary W-xCr and W-yZr are effective to improve the corrosion resistance property of the ternary amorphous W- xCr-yZr alloys after immersion for 240 h in 1 M NaOH solution open to air at 25°C. The corrosion rates of all the examined sputter-deposited (10-57)W-(18-42)Cr-(25-73)Zr alloys is higher than those of alloy-constituting elements (that is, tungsten, chromium and zirconium) in aggressive 1 M NaOH solution open to air at 25°C. The corrosion rates of all the examined sputter−deposited W–xCr–yZr alloys containing 10-57 at% tungsten, 18-42 at% chromium and 25-73 at% zirconium were in the range of 1.5-2.5 × 10−3 mm/y or lower which are more than two orders of magnitude lower than that of sputter-deposited tungsten and even about one order of magnitude lower than those of the sputter-deposited zirconium in 1 M NaOH solution. Keywords: Ternary W–Cr–Zr alloys; Amorphous; Corrosion rate; Open circuit potential; 1 M NaOH. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/sw.v9i9.5516 SW 2011; 9(9): 39-43

Corrosion resistance of pure Fe, Cr, and Ni materials exposed in NaVO3molten salt at 700°C was evaluated in static air during 100 hours. The corrosion resistance was determined using potentiodynamic polarization, open circuit potential, and lineal polarization resistance. The conventional weight loss method (WLM) was also used during 100 hours. The electrochemical results showed that Fe and Cr have a poor corrosion resistance, whereas pure Ni showed the best corrosion performance, which was supported by the passive layer of NiO formed on the metallic surface and the formation of Ni3V2O8during the corrosion processes, which is a refractory compound with a higher melting point than that of NaVO3, which reduces the corrosivity of the molten salt. Also, the behavior of these materials was associated with the way in which their corresponding oxides were dissolved together with their type of corrosion attack. Through this study, it was confirmed that when materials suffer corrosion by a localized processes such as pitting, the WLM is not reliable, since a certain amount of corrosion products can be kept inside the pits. The corroded samples were analyzed through scanning electron microscopy.

The microstructure and corrosion resistance in H2S environments for various zones of X80 pipeline steel submerged arc welded joints were studied. The main microstructures in the base metal (BM), welded metal (WM), coarse-grained heat-affected zone (CGHAZ), and fine-grained heat-affected zone (FGHAZ) were mainly polygonal ferrite and granular bainite; acicular ferrite with fine grains; granular bainite, ferrite, and martensite/austenite constituents, respectively. The corrosion behavior differences resulted from the microstructure gradients. The results of the micro-morphologies of the corrosion product films and the electrochemical corrosion characteristics in H2S environments, including open circuit potential and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, showed that the order of corrosion resistance was FGHAZ > BM > WM > CGHAZ.

Electrodes made of group VIII and IB metals were examined for their redox process and electrocatalytic activities towards the oxidation of ethylene glycol in alkaline solutions. The method of cyclic voltammetery (CV) and Open circuit potentials measurement (OCP) was employed. It is found that considerable electrooxidation current are observed for silver and copper but lower anodic overpotential for oxidation is obtained for gold and platinum. Oxide layer produced on the surface of all electrodes in alkaline solution under anodic scan participates in ethylene glycol electrooxidation. Oxidation current observed in the reverse scans for platinum and gold are higher than those observed in forward potential scan. Open circuit potential measurements have shown the interaction of ethylene glycol and electrodes.
