Corrosion inhibition of carbon steel in dam water by sodium heptane sulphonate (SHS) and zinc ion system was investigated using weight loss and potentiodynamic polarization methods. Results of weight loss method indicated that inhibition efficiency (IE) increased as the inhibitor concentration increased. A synergistic effect existed between SHS and Zn. The influence of sodium potassium tartrate...

in this work, electrochemical methods such as tafel polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (eis) were used to study the inhibition efficiency of nettle leaves hydroalcoholic extract as a green corrosion inhibitor of api 5l carbon steel in 0.5 m h2so4 solution. the results showed that the inhibition efficiency was increased with increasing the concentration of the extract and th...

Finite element analyses were conducted to clarify the role of corrosion product films (CPFs) in stress corrosion cracking (SCC). Flat and U-shaped edge-notched specimens were investigated in terms of the CPF-induced stress in the metallic substrate and the stress in the CPF. For a U-shaped edge-notched specimen, the stress field in front of the notch tip is affected by the Young's modulus of th...

chromate conversion coating is applied on aluminum 6061. the optimum conditions for chromate bath composition and immersion time are also obtained for standard requirements provision such as corrosion resistance in salt spray test, electrical resistance and coating quality. the applied coatings are electrochemically tested in sea and distilled water. according to tafel and cyclic polarization c...

This paper discusses chemical and galvanic corrosion of tungsten nitride carbide (WNC) barrier metal. Chemical corrosion occurs due to the oxidation of W in the WNC film by H2O2, which is used as oxidizer in CMP slurries, followed by the dissolution of the oxide complex. Galvanic corrosion takes place due to the high potential difference between Cu and WNC established in the presence of H2O2 ba...

Zirconium based alloys in the Zircaloy series have been analysed with atom-probe field-ion microscopy. During specimen preparation an anodic layer is formed, containing about 50% oxygen. In preliminary analyses of the matrix al1 the minor elements Fe, Ni, Cr and O were detected, and it appears possible to determine with the atom-probe whether any particular heat treatment causes matrix depletio...

Evaluation of corrosion inhibitors for steel in acidic media is important for some industrial facilities as well as is very interesting from theoretical aspects. Most of the effective inhibitors are organic compounds containing nitrogen, phosphorus and sulphur in their structures [1, 2]. Heteroatoms such as nitrogen, oxygen and sulphur are capable of forming coordinate covalent bond with metal ...

The effect of Cu on the localized corrosion of Ni-Cr-Mo alloys has been investigated in hot saline solutions by comparing the behavior of N06059 and N06200 alloys, using electrochemical and surface analytical techniques. No measurable effect of copper on anodic film growth kinetics and passive film properties was detected and the breakdown and repassivation potentials of the alloys were very si...

in this paper, the effect of penicillin g drug as a green corrosion inhibitor on mild steel in 1.0 mhydrochloric acid solution has been investigated using potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemicalimpedance spectroscopy (eis) and electrochemical noise (en) techniques. the inhibition efficiencywas found to increase with increasing inhibitor concentration. potentiodynamic polarizationmeasureme...

The oxide film (TiO(2)) was formed on Nitinol potentiostatically in an acetic acid solution. Deep understanding of electronic properties of this film is needed to predict long-term corrosion properties of Nitinol implant material in simulated body fluid conditions. The capacitance measurements were performed under depletion conditions to study electronic (semiconducting) properties. The space c...
