calcareous deposits formed on the part of steel that cathodic reactions occur on their surface. the purpose of this research is an investigation of the effect of potential on crystal form of the calcareous deposits and effect of them on the corrosion resistance of the mild steel in natural seawater. the electrochemical tests such as impedance and polarization tofel tests were used in order to i...

The corrosion of metals is a destructive process regarding to the basic modern constructional material with a great importance for the nowadays industry and in many cases represents an enormous economic loss. Therefore, it is not a surprise that the research on the corrosion and corrosion protection of metallic materials is developed on a large scale in different directions and a wide range of ...

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...

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 ...

To improve the corrosion protection provided to prestressing strands, anti-bleed grouts are used to fill voids in post-tensioning ducts that result from bleeding and shrinkage of older portland cement grouts. Environmental differences caused by exposing the strands to dissimilar grouts, however, have the potential to cause rapid corrosion. Portland cement grout, gypsum grout, and four commercia...

The bioactivity and the corrosion protection for a novel nano-grained Ti-20Nb-13Zr at % alloy were examined in a simulated body fluid (SBF). The effect of the SPS's temperature on the corrosion performance was investigated. The phases and microstructural details of the developed alloy were analyzed by XRD (X-ray Diffraction), SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy), and TEM (Transmission Electron Mi...

Aluminum and aluminum alloys can be protected against corrosion by various methods of surface modification (e.g., metal finishing, anodizing, chromate conversion coatings, metallic cladding with Alclad, corrosion protection compounds, and solution phase inhibitors). The desire to deploy environmentally compliant multi-functional coatings has created the need for new concepts that can protect Al...

In the present work, four polymeric nanocomposite PNC coatings were prepared with different concentrations of yttrium aluminum garnet nanoparticles YAG-NPs in polyvinyl butyral PVB matrix. The corrosion protection of the PNC coatings applied on the carbon steel surface was investigated in 1.0 M HCl solution by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy EIS. The YAG-NPs were synthesized by pulse ele...

this work is aimed to evaluate the role of nanoclay in the protective performance of an eco-friendly silane sol-gel layer applied on mild steel substrate in 0.1m sodium chloride solution. at the first step, the effect of ph of the silane solution, consisting of a mixture of γ-glycidoxypropiltrimethoxysilane and methyltriethoxysilane and tetraethoxysilane, on the coating performance was evaluate...
