Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) behavior of Ni-free duplex stainless steels containing N and C (Febalance-19Cr-8Mn-0.25C-(0.03, 0.21)N, in wt %) was investigated by using a slow strain rate test (SSRT) in air and aqueous NaCl solution with different tensile directions, including parallel (longitudinal) and perpendicular (transverse) to the rolling direction. It was found that alloying N was eff...

This review discusses the state-of-the-art of research into biocorrosion and the biofouling of metals and alloys of industrial usage. The key concepts needed to understand the main effects of microorganisms on metal decay, and current trends in monitoring and control strategies to mitigate the deleterious effects of biocorrosion and biofouling are also described. Several relevant cases of bioco...

The aim of this research was to investigate the influence of metallurgy on the corrosion behaviour of separate weld zone (WZ) and parent plate (PP) regions of X65 pipeline steel in a solution of deionised water saturated with CO2, at two different temperatures (55 °C and 80 °C) and at initial pH~4.0. In addition, a non-electrochemical immersion experiment was also performed at 80 °C in CO2, on ...

The corrosion behavior of four different preparations of plasma-sprayed hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings on Ti6Al4V substrates in static Hank's balanced salt solution was investigated using dc potentiodynamic and ac impedance techniques. Two different nominal thicknesses, 50 microm and 200 microm, and two different spraying conditions, were considered. The electrochemical impedance experiments prov...

The corrosion and cell viability behaviors of nanostructured, nickel-free stainless steel implants were studied and compared with AISI 316L. The electrochemical studies were conducted by potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopic measurements in a simulated body fluid. Cytocompatibility was also evaluated by the adhesion behavior of adult human stem cells on the su...

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 paper aims on the investigations of corrosion processes of three different porcelain fused to metal dental crowns with CoCrMo frameworks. The three crowns, with different exposed metal surfaces, were investigated using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), through 168 hours of experiment. The data were analyzed and the influence of corrosion processes was shown after the crowns were...

This paper covers one of the building blocks required to complete a mechanistic CO2 / H2S corrosion model: electrochemistry of carbon steel CO2 corrosion in the presence of traces of H2S (3-250 ppm in the gas phase). Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and linear polarisation resistance were used to investigate the mechanism of CO2/H2S corrosion in a glass cell at room temperature, at atmosp...

The local electrochemical properties of galvanic corrosion for three coupled metals in a desalination plant were investigated with three wire-beam electrodes as wire sensors: aluminum brass (HAl77-2), titanium (TA2), and 316L stainless steel (316L SS). These electrodes were used with artificial seawater at different temperatures. The potential and current-density distributions of the three-meta...

Abstract—Corrosion inhibitors are widely used in concrete industry to reduce the corrosion rate of steel rebar which is present in contact with aggressive environments. The present work aims to using Zamzam water from well located within the Masjid al-Haram in Mecca, Saudi Arabia 20 m (66 ft) east of the Kaaba, the holiest place in Islam as corrosion inhibitor for steel in rain water and simula...
