Titania nano particles were synthesized at carbon paste electrode by cyclic voltammetry and then it was employed for the determination of acetaminophen in phosphate buffer at pH 7.4. Carbon paste electrode with titania nano particle displayed excellent electrochemically catalytic activities by shifting the oxidation potential of acetaminophen towards the negative side. The mass transfer process...

The understanding of corrosion behavior in NiTi is critical for the devices using this shape-memory alloy. In order to improve the surface properties of NiTi such as corrosion resistance, plasma source ion implantation (PSII) technique was employed with oxygen as incident ions at three levels of implantation dose (5x10(16), 1x10(17) and 3x10(17) ions/cm(-2)). Pitting corrosion and wear-corrosio...

In this paper we report on the corrosion inhibition of cast iron in Arabian Gulf seawater by two different ionic liquids namely, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([EMIm]Cl) and 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium chloride ([Py1,4]Cl). The inhibiting influence of the employed ionic liquids was investigated by weight loss, open circuit potential electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and cyclic po...

The effect of several Almen intensities of shot peening on the corrosion behavior, surface roughness, micro hardness profiles, and residual stresses of stainless steel AISI 316 L were investigated. Hydroxyapatite coating (HA) were applied to shot peened materials to improve their corrosion resistance. The corrosion behaviour were studied using potentiodynamic polarization. The electrochemical t...

The protection of 316L stainless steel in 3% NaCl by the essential oil Thymus satureoides has been studied many techniques such as potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning electron (SEM) coupled with energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDXS). results show that corrosion rate decreases increase concentration inhibitor up...

Accumulative roll bonding (ARB) imposes severe plastic strain on materials without changing the specimen dimensions. ARB process is mostly appropriate for practical applications because it can be performed readily by the conventional rolling process. An Al-2wt%Cu alloy was subjected to ARB process up to a strain of 4.8. Stacking of materials and conventional roll-bonding are repeated in the pro...

The corrosion inhibition of API 5L X60 pipeline steel in oil well acidizing fluid stimulated with 1.0 M HCl by Tranexamic Acid (TXA) was investigated using potentiodynamic polarization (PDP), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and the conventional gravimetric or weight loss (WL) techniques at temperatures ranging from 303 to 323 K. Surface morphological analysis was carried out us...

Nickel films of 300 nm thickness were deposited by electron beam evaporation at room temperature on 316 stainless steels. Corrosion studies of Ni coated 316 SS have been performed after N+ ion implantation at different energies of 20, 40, 60 and 80 keV. The structure and surface morphology of the films were evaluated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscope (AFM) an...

The protective effect of the aqueous extracts of Santolina pectinata (Lag.) aerial parts (Odorized aqueous extract (AE1) and Deodorized aqueous extract (AE2)) on the corrosion of mild steel (MS) in 1M HCl solution were tested by the weight loss (WL) analysis, potentiodynamic polarization (PDP) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) methods. The inhibition efficiency (%IE) is highly ra...

Titanium nitride thin films were grown on 304 stainless steel substrates at various nitrogen/argon flow ratios by ion beam sputtering (IBS) technique. The current research is a follow up study on the influence of gas ratio on structural and corrosion properties in the TiN coated 304 stainless steel. Film structural identification of phases was performed using X-ray diffractometry (XRD). Sca...
