Electrochemical Impedance (EIS) experimental data recorded on an intentionally inflicted scribe on Q-steel coated panels exposed in a laboratory environment was analyzed using equivalent electrical circu it-analog model technique for the corrosion-inhibition performance. The sand-blasted steel panels were pre-painted with a non-chromate industrial epoxy primer having dispersed corrosion-inhibit...

A good biocompatibility, excellent mechanical properties and high corrosion resistance characterize CoCrMo alloys. Therefore they are widely used for artificial joints in biomedical implants. However, the degradation of the implants during service life leads to the release into the body of toxic ions and wear particles. This continuous degradation is of concern for long-term stability of the im...

The protection influence of three sulfa guanidine azo derivatives against nickel corrosion was studied in 0.5 M HCl solutions at 25oC. Measurements were conducted under various experimental conditions using potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and electrochemical frequency modulation (EFM) techniques. These studies have shown that sulfa guanidine azo deriva...

Five non-precious Ni-Co based alloys were analyzed with respect to their corrosion behaviour. The correlation between the amount of the elements Cr, Mo, V and the corrosion behaviour, expressed by the PREN (pitting resistance equivalent number) index in the case of the allied steels, was extended for Ni-Cr and Co-Cr dental alloys characterization. Open circuit potential, corrosion current densi...

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...

A TCP–TCL model is established to describe the relationship between the thickness of the corrosion-filled paste (CP) and that of the corrosion layer (CL). This model can describe the phenomenon that the corrosion filling in the concrete pores and accumulating at the steel/concrete interface occur synchronously. Based on the TCP–TCL model, a corrosion-induced concrete cracking model, which can q...

The self-assembled monolayer (SAM) was prepared using octadecyl trichlorosilane (OTS) in distilled solution on the copper surface. The effect of inhibitor concentration on the rate of inhibition efficiency and corrosion rate in corrosion medium on copper by using polarization curves, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), scanning electron microscope (SEM) was studied. The results showed...

The inhibiting effects of some newly synthesized Schiff bases on the corrosion of Al-Pure in 1.0 M HCl have been studied by means of the chemical and electrochemical methods. The Schiff bases m-Chloroaniline-N-benzylidene (m-CANB), p-Chloroaniline–N-benzylidene (p-CANB), Benzylamine-N-(p-methoxy benzylidene) (BANPMB) and 2-Phenylethylamine-N-(p-methoxy benzylidene) (2PANPMB) were synthesized fr...
