Self-stabilized magnetic polymeric composite nanoparticles of coated poly-(sodium 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonate-co-styrene)/magnetite (PAMPS-Na-co-St/Fe3O4) were prepared by emulsifier-free miniemulsion polymerization using styrene (St) as a monomer, 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid sodium salt (AMPS-Na) as an ionic comonomer, N,N-methylenebisacrylamide (MBA) as crosslinker, ...

The structure of a titanium nitride film coated by arc ion plating on a Ni-50Ti shape memory alloy was characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The corrosion behavior of the titanium nitride-coated Ni-50Ti alloy was examined in 0.9% NaCl solution by potentiodynamic polarization measurements and a polarization resistance method. XPS spectra showed that the titanium nitride film c...

The effect of laser surface melting on the corrosion resistance AZ31 Mg alloy in 0.1 M NaCl solution was investigated using different processing conditions (energy densities 14 and 17 J cm?2). Laser treatment induced rough surfaces primarily composed oxidized species Mg. XPS analysis revealed that concentration Al increased significantly as a consequence LSM. Electrochemical impedance spectrosc...

A new coumarin derivative, N,N'-((2E,2'E)-2,2'-(1,4-phenylenebis (methanylylidene))bis(hydrazinecarbonothioyl))bis(2-oxo-2H-chromene-3-carboxamide) PMBH, was synthesized and its chemical structure was elucidated and confirmed using spectroscopic techniques (Infrared spectroscopy IR, Proton nuclear magnetic resonance, 1H-NMR and carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance 13C-NMR). The corrosion inhibi...

The corrosion behavior of pure Fe under a Na₂SO₄ deposit in an atmosphere of O₂ + H₂O was investigated at 500 °C by thermo gravimetric, and electrochemical measurements, viz. potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and surface characterization methods viz. X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscope (SEM)/energy dispersive spectroscopy(EDS). The...

Aluminum based metal matrix composites (MMCs) have received considerable attention in the automotive, aerospace and nuclear industries. One of the main challenges using Al-based MMCs is the influence of the reinforcement particles on the corrosion resistance. In the present study, the corrosion behavior of Al-B₄C MMCs in a 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution were investigated using potentiodynamic polarizat...

The corrosion resistance of type 304L and 316 austenitic stainless steels in 2M H2SO4 at 0-1.5%NaCl concentrations was studied through potentiodynamic polarization technique and optical microscopy analysis. The corrosion rate, pitting potential, passivation potential and surface morphology of both steel where significantly altered by the Clion concentration, alloy composition and metallurgical ...

The effects of ultrasonic-aided quenching (USQ) on the microstructure and corrosion properties of 35CrMoV steel in a simulated seawater environment (wt % (NaCl) = 3.5) were studied. The corrosion properties of the steel were studied by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potentiodynamic polarization curves. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive spectrometer (...

The inhibitive effect of N, N-Dimethylaniline (DMA) as corrosion inhibitor for zinc in 0.1, 0.3 and 0.5 M H2SO4 solutions has been investigated by using weight loss, potentiodynamic polarization electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques. results obtained reveal that inhibition efficiency (I.E.) increases with increase concentration inhibitors but decreases temperature. As rate dec...
