Studying localized corrosion using liquid cell transmission electron microscopy.

چکیده
Localized corrosion of Cu and Al thin films exposed to aqueous NaCl solutions was studied using liquid cell transmission electron microscopy (LCTEM). We demonstrate that potentiostatic control can be used to initiate pitting and that local compositional changes, due to focused ion beam implantation of Au(+) ions, can modify the corrosion susceptibility of Al films.

Corrosion of Metal Films Observed Using In Situ and Ex Situ Electron Microscopy
Localized corrosion refers to the accelerated dissolution of metals and alloys due to the breakdown of their protective passive films at select sites [1]. Developing an understanding of localized corrosion phenomena has significant practical importance due to the deleterious effects of pit formation on the integrity of structural materials. However, localized corrosion is a challenging problem ...
متن کاملImaging Shape-Dependent Corrosion Behavior of Pt Nanoparticles over Extended Time Using a Liquid Flow Cell and TEM
Imaging liquids at nanoscale, or atomic resolution, inside a transmission electron microscope (TEM) holds great promise for the study of liquid phase reactions, including electrochemistry. A capsulated liquid cell with thin Si3N4 windows is used to hold a ultra-thin liquid layer (less than 500 nm thick) [1,2]. In a static liquid cell, all the reactants, capping agents and solution are pre-mixed...

The corrosion behaviors of Mg-2Zn-0.2Mn-xCa (denoted as MZM-xCa alloys) in homogenization state have been investigated by immersion test and electrochemical techniques in a simulated physiological condition. The microstructure features were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and electron probe microanalysis (EP...
متن کاملStructural Characterization of Highly Corrosion-resistant Steel
Structural features of novel corrosion-resistant LC 200N steel were investigated. Mössbauer spectrometry was chosen as a principal method of investigation. Surface as well as bulk properties were studied using Conversion Electron Mössbauer Spectrometry and transmission technique, respectively. Complex behaviour of magnetic and non-magnetic phases was identified in the samples by these two techn...
متن کاملCorrosion Properties of 34CrMo4 Steel Modified by Shot Peening
A nanocrystalline layer was prepared on the surface of 34CrMo4 steel by time controlling shot peening (SP, i.e., 1, 5, 10, and 20 minutes). Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, and transmission electron microscope (TEM) were applied to analyze the surface, cross-sections, and grain size of the specimens before and after SP. The electrochemical c...
