A study of the effect of Sn (1, 2, 3.5, 4.5, and 5 wt%) and Bi (0.5, 1.5, 3, and 4%) on the corrosion behavior of Al in ethylene glycol (C2H6O2)-40% water mixtures at 20, 40, and 60°C has been carried out using electrochemical techniques. Techniques include potentiodynamic polarization curves, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and electrochemical noise (EN) measurements. The three techniques have shown that additions of either Sn or Bi contents increased the corrosion rate of pure Al in all cases, and that generally speaking, the corrosion rate increased by increasing the temperature except for the alloy containing 1% Sn + 4% Bi, which showed the lowest corrosion rate at 60°C. This was because of a galvanic effect from the presence of Sn and/or Bi particles on the surface alloy, which acted as local cathodes, leading to an acceleration of corrosion. Nyquist diagrams showed two semicircles at 20°C and only one at 40°C or 60°C for all the alloys, showing two different corrosion-controlling mechanisms. EN measurements showed evidence of a mixture of both localized and uniform types of corrosion for all Al-based alloys.

Supermartensitic stainless steel grades are widely used in oil and gas industries to substitute duplex and super duplex stainless steels these years. In this paper the corrosion behavior of supermartensitic stainless steels with different chemical compositions, S-165 and HP, was investigated in Cl-environment. All the samples were treated by quenching at 1000 °C followed by tempering at 630 °C for 2h. After heat treatment, potentiodynamic polarization curves and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were determined on both kinds of samples. Polarization curves shows that the metastable pitting nucleuses were formed in passive area and the Cr content is the most important factor leading to the differences of pitting potential. The potentiodynamic polarization curves were conducted at various NaCl contents (5000, 15000 and 35000 ppm) and emphasized the need to account for the Cl-sensitivity of samples under corrosion environment. The results show that, the pitting potential decrease with the increase of chloride contents. The behavior of passive film was analyzed by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy.

The inhibition effect of eugenol oil (EO) on the corrosion of tin in 0.1 M Na2CO3 has been studied by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potentiodynamic polarization technics. The effect of temperature on the corrosion behavior of tin in 0.1 M Na2CO3 with and without addition of eugenol oil was studied in the temperature range 278-308 K. This compound inhibits the corrosion of tin at low concentration. At 4g/L eugenol oil the inhibition efficiency calculated by potentiodynamic polarization and EIS techniques is 70% and 82%, respectively. The inhibition efficiency increased with increase of the inhibitor concentration and decreased with increase of medium temperature. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was used to investigate the mechanism of corrosion inhibition. Polarization curves reveal that EO acts as a mixed-type inhibitor in corrosive solution. The results obtained from the different corrosion evaluation techniques are in good agreement.

The effect of 2.5 at.% Cr, Ti, and Ag on the corrosion behavior of Fe40Al intermetallic alloy in KCl-ZnCl2(1 : 1 M) at 670°C has been evaluated by using electrochemical techniques. Techniques included potentiodynamic polarization curves, linear polarization resistance (LPR), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements. Results have shown that additions of both Cr and Ti were beneficial to the alloy, since they decreased its corrosion rate, whereas additions of Ag was detrimental, since its additions increased the corrosion rate, although the alloy was passivated by adding Ag or Cr. The best corrosion performance was obtained with the addition of Cr, whereas the highest corrosion rate was obtained by adding Ag. This is explained in terms of the stability of the corrosion products formed film.

Abstract This paper presents the results of research aimed to measuring the corrosion properties of EDDQ steel sheet. The strain amount influence to the corrosion properties of the steel sheet for drawn parts has been proven by the modern methods of corrosion monitoring such as Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy. Corrosion rate was assessed using electrochemical methods in 0.1 M solution of NaCl. Experimental studies have pointed out if strain amount increases the corrosion rate of the steel sheet increases too.

Abstract The use of ceramic particles in the matrix of alloy coatings during the electroplating process has received considerable attention. These particles can create properties such as high corrosion resistance, insolubility, high-temperature stability, strong hardness, and self-lubrication capability. Herein, an Ni–P–W–TiO2 coating was deposited on an AISI 304L steel substrate using the electroplating method. Electroplating was performed at current densities of 10, 15, 20, and 25 mA · cm–2, and the effect of current density on microstructure, corrosion behavior, and wear behavior was investigated. The coatings were characterized by means of scanning electron microscopy. To investigate corrosion resistance, potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy tests were performed in a 3.5% NaCl aqueous solution. A pin-on-disk test was conducted to test the wear resistance of uncoated and coated samples. Sample micro-hardness was also measured by Vickers hardness testing. Examination of the microstructure revealed that the best coating was produced at a current density of 20 mA · cm–2. The results of potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy tests were consistent with microscopic images. The coating created at the current density of 20 mA · cm–2 had the highest corrosion resistance compared to other coated and non-coated samples. Furthermore, the results of the wear test showed that increasing the current density of the electroplating path up to 20 mA · cm–2 enhances micro-hardness and wear resistance.
