The inhibitive action of alkali extract human hair extract (Bio waste) against the corrosion of mild steel (98.58%) in solutions of nitric acid has been studied using potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). At inhibitor concentration range (0.004 % v/ v to 0.1% v/v) in 0.3 M HNO3acid, the results showed that these compounds suppressed both cathodic and ano...

This paper presents an experimental investigation on the crack width induced by the corrosion of reinforcing steel bars in concrete. Reinforcing steel bars with different diameters were corroded using an accelerated test in three types of concrete members, including 24 beams with corroded stirrup and 20 beams with corroded longitudinal reinforcing steel bars. The corrosion patterns and rusts ch...

This study employs potential-monitoring techniques, cyclic voltammetry tests, alternating current (AC) voltammetry methods, and surface characterization to investigate the AC corrosion of cathodically protected X80 pipeline steel. In a non-passive neutral solution at pH 7.2, a sufficiently negative potential completely protects steel at an AC current density of 100 A/m². In an alkaline solution...

BACKGROUND CONTEXT Surgeons are hesitant to mix components made of differing metal classes for fear of galvanic corrosion complications. However, in vitro studies have failed to show a significant potential for galvanic corrosion between titanium and stainless steel, the two primary metallic alloys used for spinal implants. Galvanic corrosion resulting from metal mixing has not been described i...

In the Ultra-steel project at the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS), which run from 1996 to 2005, high-Si-Al-content ultrafine-grained (UFG) weathering steel was developed by grain refinement and weathering guidance. It was found that this steel has excellent strength, toughness and corrosion resistance. Samples were prepared by multi pass warm rolling at temperatures between 773 ...

A recent advance in corrosion-resistance technology overcomes the problem of steel corrosion in CO2enriched environments. At an inhibitor concentration of 10 M, the inhibition efficiency exceeded 98% where the steel corrosion rate is decreased by a factor of at least 100.

9 In some sour reservoirs and tertiary oil recovery blocks, SO42in solution can cause the corrosion 10 and corrosion fatigue of the sucker rods. In this paper, the corrosion behaviors of super-strength 11 sucker rod FG20 (16Mn2SiCrMoVTiA) steel in the well fluid are investigated by electrochemical 12 measurements, and electron probe micro-analyzer (EPMA) analysis. The results show that FG20 ste...

The present work is a study of the corrosion susceptibility of steel drums in contact with cemented ion-exchange resins contaminated with different types and concentrations of aggressive species. A special type of specimen was manufactured to simulate the cemented ion-exchange resins in the drum. The evolution of the corrosion potential and the corrosion rate of the steel, as well as the electr...

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 corrosion behavior of X80 steel in the presence of coupled coating defects was simulated and studied under the interference of alternating current (AC) in an alkaline environment. The results from electrochemical measurements showed that the electrode potential of the coating defect with the smaller exposed area was lower than that with the larger area, which indicated that the steel with t...
