The corrosion resistance of orthodontic wire made of NiCr alloy in artificial saliva, in the absence and presence of Metformin Hydrochloride- 250 mg (MFH) has been evaluated by polarization study and AC impedance spectra. Polarisation study reveals that in the presence of Metformin Hydrochloride- 250 mg (MFH), linear polarisation resistance (LPR) value increases and corrosion current decreases. That is, in presence of Metformin Hydrochloride250 mg (MFH), the corrosion resistance of NiCr alloy in artificial saliva increases. AC impedance study reveals that in the presence of Metformin Hydrochloride- 250 mg (MFH), Charge transfer resistance (Rt) value increases and double layer capacitance value (Cdl) decreases. That is in the presence of Metformin Hydrochloride- 250mg (MFH) the corrosion resistance of NiCr alloy in AS increases. It is concluded that people clipped with orthodontic wire made of NiCr alloy need not vacillate to take Metformin Hydrochloride- 250 mg (MFH) orally.

Dentists make use of orthodontic wires such as SS 18/8, SS 316, Ni-Cr etc., to regulate the growth of teeth. In the saliva environment these wires undergo corrosion. Aside from this, they undergo corrosion by the food items, juices and Tablets orally in taken. Corrosion resistance of SS 18/8 alloy in artificial saliva (AS) , in the absence and presence of Digene Tablet juice, has been investigated by polarization and AC impendance techniques. It is inferred that corrosion resistance of SS 18/8 alloy in artificial saliva decreases in presence of Digene Tablet. This is exposed by decrease in Linear Polarization Resistance (LPR) value, Charge transfer resistance (Rt) value, in impedance value, and increase in corrosion current and double layer capacitance value(Cdl). In presence of Digene Tablet, the LPR value decreases from 3488228 to 1629535 Ohmcm2. The corrosion current value increases from 1.447 x10-8 to 2.637x10-8A/cm2 . The Charge transfer resistance (Rt) value decreases from 37796 to 10481Ohmcm2 . The double layer capacitance value increases from 1.349x10-10 F/cm2 to 4.866x10-10F/cm2. The impedance value decreases from 4.857 to 4.428. Hence it implies that people with orthodontic wire made of SS 18/8 alloy should avoid taking Digene Tablet juice orally.

The present study investigates the effect of titania particles on the micro-hardness, wear resistance, corrosion resistance and friction of electroless Ni–P–TiO2 composite coatings deposited on mild steel substrates at different annealing temperatures. The experimental results confirmed that the amount of TiO2 particles incorporated in the coatings increases with increase in the concentration of particles in the electroless bath. In presence of TiO2 particles, hardness, wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the coating improve significantly. At higher annealing temperature, wear resistance increases due to formation of hard Ni3P phase and incorporation of titania particles in the coated layer. Charge transfer resistance and corrosion current density of the coatings reduce with an increase in TiO2 particles, whereas corrosion potential increases. Microstructure changes and composition of the composite coating due to heat treatment are studied with the help of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDXA) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis.

Zn-Al-Mg alloys with hypoeutectic microstructure were melted through a high frequency induction furnace. The content of aluminum and magnesium in the alloys were between 1% to 2%. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was utilized to analyze microstructure and phase, respectively. Effect of alloying element contents on corrosion resistance was studied. Results show that the Zn-Al-Mg alloys are almost covered by primarily solidified Zn rich block phase and fine lamellar binary and ternary eutectic microstructure exist between the Zn rich phase. The corrosion resistance was characterized through electrochemical test which indicates that increasing Al and Mg content in the Zn-Al-Mg alloys decline corrosion current density. For alloys with 1% Al, more magnesium means lower corrosion potential. For alloys with 2% Al, however, more magnesium suggests higher corrosion potential. In Nyquist curves of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) test, Warburg impedance portion could be found for all alloys. With increasing alloying elements content in the Zn-Al-Mg alloys, charge transfer resistance in higher frequency remarkably increase, which implies higher corrosion resistance.

In the present work, ZrO2-based composites were prepared by adding different amounts of antibacterial magnesium oxide and bioactive and biocompatible hydroxyapatite (HAP) to the inert zirconia. The composites were synthesized by the conventional ceramic processing route and morpho-structurally analyzed by X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) and scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM/EDS). Two metallic dental alloys (i.e., Ni–Cr and Co–Cr) coated with a chitosan (Chit) membrane containing the prepared composites were exposed to aerated artificial saliva solutions of different pHs (i.e., 4.3, 5, 6) and the corrosion resistances were investigated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy technique. The obtained results using the two investigated metallic dental alloys shown quasi-similar anticorrosive properties, having quasi-similar charge transfer resistance, when coated with different ZrO2-based composites. This behavior could be explained by the synergetic effect between the diffusion process through the Chit-composite layer and the roughness of the metallic electrode surface.

Acidization is an oil reservoir stimulation technique for increasing oil well productivity. Hydrochloric acid is used in oil and gas production to stimulate the formation. The acid treatment occurs through N80 steel tubes. The process requires a high degree of corrosion inhibition of tubing material (N80 steel). In the present investigation effect of synthesized amino acid compounds, namely, acetamidoleucine (AAL) and benzamidoleucine (BAL) as corrosion inhibitors for N80 steel in 15% HCl solution was studied by polarization, AC impedance (EIS), and weight loss measurements. It was found that both the inhibitors were effective inhibitors and their inhibition efficiency was significantly increased with increasing concentration of inhibitors. Polarization curves revealed that the studied inhibitors represent mixed type inhibitors. AC impedance studies revealed that charge transfer resistance increases and double layer capacitance decreases in presence of inhibitors. Adsorption of inhibitors at the surface of N80 steel was found to obey Langmuir isotherm.

Metal matrix composites (MMCs) are engineering materials in which a hard ceramic component is dispersed in a ductile metal matrix in order to obtain characteristics such as hardness and corrosion resistance. Corrosion resistance is one of the important properties of nanocomposites; however, the corrosion mechanism of the Al- SiC nanocomposite has not yet been determined. .In this study, bulk Al-5% SiC nanocomposite was prepared using mechanical alloying and the hot press method. Corrosion behavior was then investigated using EIS techniques such as Nyquist and the Bod diagram. A larger charge transfer resistance was found for the Al- SiC nanocomposite by the EIS diagrams, confirming its corrosion resistance in a 3.5wt% NaCl solution.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present the results of a two-year long study carried out in order to evaluate the corrosion performance of mild steel bare bars (BB) and epoxy-coated rebar (ECR) in concrete under a simulated harsh environment of chlorides. Design/methodology/approach The blocks are subjected to Southern Exposure testing. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), linear polarization resistance (LPR) and Tafel plot are performed to measure the polarization resistance and corrosion current densities of these rebars. Knife-peel test was performed to assess the adhesion between epoxy and underlying steel after two years of exposure. Findings Mild steel BB showed a high corrosion current density of 1.24 µA/ cm2 in Tafel plots and a very low polarization resistance of 4.5 kΩ cm2 in LPR technique, whereas very high charge transfer resistance of 1672 and 1675 kΩ cm2 is observed on ECR and ECR with controlled damage (ECRCD), through EIS technique, respectively. EIS is observed to be a suitable tool to detect the defects in epoxy coatings. After two years of immersion in 3.89 percent NaCl− solution, the mild steel BB were severely corroded and a considerable weight loss was observed, whereas under heavy chloride attack, ECR showed no deterioration of epoxy coating and neither any corrosion of underlying steel. Results of this study show that the durability of reinforced concrete (RC) structures with respect to corrosion could be enhanced by using ECR, especially in harsh climatic conditions. Originality/value The corrosion performance of mild steel and ECR in concrete under a simulating splash zone environment is evaluated. EIS was used to evaluate the health of epoxy and corrosion state of underneath steel rebars. EIS was able to detect the defects in epoxy. The durability of RC structures could be enhanced in harsh climate regions by using ECR.

In this experiment two kinds of 410L stainless steel, i.e., the first one is prepared by the I/M process and the second one is prepared by MIM process were used, and their corrosion behavior under stress in deionized water and the aqueous solution of 0.01kmol·m-3HCl+1.72mol·m-3MgCl2 (pH=2.33) has been investigated by Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (hereafter shortened as EIS) under Slow Strain Rate Tensile (hereafter shortened as SSRT) test. The charge transfer resistance (Rct) of the I/M specimen is larger than that of the MIM specimen irrespective of under stress or non-stress, which means that the I/M specimen has the better corrosion resistance than the MIM specimen in the 0.01kmol·m-3HCl+1.72mol·m-3MgCl2 (pH=2.33) solution. It was also confirmed from the fracture surface observation that hydrogen embrittlement occurred on the MIM specimen in the aqueous solution of 0.01kmol·m-3HCl+1.72mol·m-3MgCl2 (pH=2.33). This result would be confirmed to be due to the existing impurities and defects in the MIM specimen.

The corrosion protective performance of polyaniline/palm oil (PAni-PO) blend coated on mild steel in 3% NaCl aqueous solutions has been evaluated by electrochemical methods, namely, open circuit potential (ocp), potentiodynamic polarization, and EIS spectroscopy. The surface of mild steel was covered by a dark green protective layer due to the physical interaction between the coating and steel. The permanent shifts of ocp and potentiodynamic polarization towards higher positive value of oxidation potential by about 800 mV and by a decrease in corrosion current density by sixfold in magnitude and an increase of 10 orders of magnitude in charge transfer resistance are due to protective coating.
