This work presents a new method to prepare monodisperse magnetite nanoparticles capping with new cationic surfactants based on rosin. Core/shell type magnetite nanoparticles were synthesized using bis-N-(3-levopimaric maleic acid adduct-2-hydroxy) propyl-triethyl ammonium chloride (LPMQA) as capping agent. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was employed to characterize the nanoparti...

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...

Al-Si-Mg-Ni(-Cu) alloys are widely used in the automotive industry. They have the advantage of low weight associated with low coefficient of thermal expansion and excellent mechanical properties – mainly at high temperatures. The corrosion resistance of these alloys in coastal area, particularly sea water, however is not yet known. In this investigation, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (...

In this study, electrochemical behaviour of passive films formed on AISI 316L stainless steel (AISI 316L) in three acidic solutions concentrations (0.3, 0.6, and 0.9M HNO3) under open circuit potential conditions were evaluated by potentiodynamic polarization, Mott–Schottky analysis and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques. The potentiodynamic polarization results showed that...

This study focuses on the semiconductor properties of passive films formed on AISI 420 stainless steel immersed in four nitric acid solutions under open circuit potential (OCP) conditions. For this purpose, the passivation parameters and semiconductor properties of passive films were derived from potentiodynamic polarization and Mott–Schottky analysis, respectively. The OCP plots showed that th...

The potentiodynamic polarization test and slow strain rate tensile tests of X80 pipeline steel were performed in 0.5M Na2CO3-1M NaHCO3 solution to study the electrochemical and stress corrosion cracking properties. The results of potentiodynamic polarization test show that there is an obvious stable passive region, about from 0v to 0.8V (SCE), indicating that anodic protection is feasible. The ...

The corrosion behavior of mild steel (Ck 45) in 3.0 M H3PO4 solution in the absence and presence of penicillin G was studied using potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques. The best inhibition effect at 10 mM of drug was a marked characteristic of the inhibitor. It was found that the inhibition efficiency of the inhibitor...
