one of the problems in the case of stainless steels is their low corrosion resistance against pitting corrosionin chloride containing environments, thereby leading to severe damage to industries. in this research, the pitting corrosion of 304 austenitic stainless steel was studied in 3.5% nacl solution at room temperature (25˚c) by performing electrochemical measurements (containing cyclic pola...

Copper-bearing intrauterine devices(Cu-IUDs) are being increasingly used all over the world. However, the dissolution of copper in the presence of proteins is not well characterized. Here, with open circuit potential, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements and potentiodynamic polarization test, the corrosion behavior of copper samples in different single-protein simulated uterine s...

Diabetes and infections are associated with a high risk of implant failure. However, the effects of such conditions on the electrochemical stability of titanium materials remain unclear. This study evaluated the corrosion behavior of a Ti-6Al-4V alloy, with a smooth surface or conditioned by double-acid-etching, in simulated body fluid with different concentrations of dextrose and lipopolysacch...

The purpose of this study is to understand the electrochemical corrosion behavior of 1wt% Cu content Al-6Si-0.5Mg alloy in 0.1M NaCl solution. The potentiodynamic polarization curves reveal that 1wt% Cu content alloy is less prone to corrosion than the Cu free alloy. The EIS test results show that corrosion resistance or polarization resistance (Rct) increases with the addition of 1wt% Cu to Al...

Pre-plated leadframes packages with a new noble metal finish type were exposed to various electrochemical migration tests, and mixed flowing gas environments to assess the quality and reliability due to these environmental conditions. Packages were tested as discrete parts and also as parts mounted onto printed circuit boards to assess the effect of reflow soldering. Selected packages with SnPb...

The extruded AZ61A magnesium alloy plates of 6 mm thickness were butt welded using friction stir welding (FSW) process. The corrosion behavior of the welds was evaluated by conducting immersion test in NaCl solution at different pH value, immersion time and chloride ion concentrations. An empirical relationship was established incorporating pH value, immersion time and chloride ion concentratio...

This paper describes the non-uniform corrosion characteristics and mechanical properties of reinforcement under coupled action of carbonation and static loading. The two parameters, namely area-box (AB) value and arithmetical mean deviation (Ra), are adopted to characterize the corrosion morphology and pitting distribution from experimental observations. The results show that the static loading...

Corrosion behavior of Ni20Cr coatings deposited by HVOF (high velocity oxygen-fuel) process was evaluated in ZnCl2-KCl (1 : 1 mole ratio) molten salts. Electrochemical techniques employed were potentiodynamic polarization curves, open circuit potential, and linear polarization resistance (LPR) measurements. Experimental conditions included static air and temperatures of 350, 400, and 450°C. 304...
