The corrosion behaviour of aluminium and6063 aluminium alloy was investigated in phosphoric acid of different concentrations at different temperatures. The study was done by electrochemical method, using Tafel polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques. The kinetic parameters and thermodynamic parameters were calculated using Arrhenius theory and transition state t...

OBJECTIVE To analyze the effect of various coating formulations on the mechanical and corrosion properties of nickel-titanium (NiTi) orthodontic wires. MATERIALS AND METHODS Uncoated, rhodium-coated, and nitrified NiTi wires were observed with a three-point-bend test, surface roughness (Ra) measurement, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, and electrochemical testing ...

The aim of this paper was to evaluate the usefulness of the sol-gel method application, to modificate the surface of the Ti6Al7Nb alloy and the cpTi titanium (Grade 4) with SiO2 oxide, applied on the vascular implants to improve their hemocompatibility. Mechanical treatment was followed by film deposition on surface of the titanium samples. An appropriate selection of the process parameters was...

Monodisperse silver nanoparticles were synthesized by a new developed method via reaction of AgNO3 and oleic acid with the addition of a trace amount of Fe3+ ions. Emulsion polymerization at room temperature was employed to prepare a core-shell silver nanoparticle with controllable particle size. N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide (MBA) and potassium peroxydisulfate (KPS) were used as a crosslinker, a...

The corrosion inhibition effect of N,N′-bis(n-Hydroxybenzaldehyde)-1,3-Propandiimine on mild steel has been investigated in 1 M HCl using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. A predictive model was presented for Nyquist plots using an artificial neural network. The proposed model predicted the imaginary impedance based on the real part of the impedance as a function of time. The model to...

Al self-corrosion in alkaline electrolytes is a critical issue that restricts the practical application of Al-air batteries. To inhibit self-corrosion, hybrid nonionic surfactant (branched alkyl glycoside, abbreviated as BAG) and ZnO developed. Hydrogen evolution test, potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy are performed to investigate corrosion behavior electrode ...

The CrFeCoNi coating was fabricated by the laser remelting method. microstructure of detected. corrosion behavior at different temperatures investigated electrochemical measurements. Potentiodynamic polarization test results indicated that current density increased with increase in solution temperature 3.5 wt% NaCl and 0.5 mol/L H2SO4 solutions, suggesting exhibited higher resistance to attack ...

Plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) treated ceramic coatings were formed in silicate-based electrolytes without and with the addition of Al2O3, on an aluminum alloy. It was found that coating produced electrolyte containing 7 g/L Al2O3 exhibited most superior corrosion properties. The properties 0.5 M 1 NaCl solutions studied by means potentiodynamic polarization electrochemical impedance spect...

A plasma arc welding (PAW)-tungsten inert gas (TIG) hybrid welding process is proposed to weld pure nickel. In PAW-TIG welding, the arc of the PAW was first to be ignited, then TIG was ignited, while in PAW welding, only the PAW arc was launched. This paper investigated the effect of different welding processes on electrochemical and corrosion performance of between a pure nickel joint and a ba...
