A new anti-corrosion compound, Melamine Formaldehyde (MF), was formulated by the addition of proper amount of formaldehyde to melamine under specific conditions. This compound was mixed with a novel nano powder, which was extracted from corn cob ash containing SiO2 particles, in order to improve its corrosion inhibition efficiency. This inhibitor provides a high level of protection f...

Si-incorporated diamond-like carbon (Si-DLC) coatings ranging from 0 to 2 at % Si were deposited on Ti-alloy substrate by means of radio frequency plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition (r.f. PACVD) technique, using a mixture of benzene (C(6)H(6)) and silane (SiH(4)) as the reaction gas. The synergy in wear and corrosion of Si-DLC coatings was investigated by tribological and electrochemical...

Coating is one of the most effective measures to protect metallic materials from corrosion. Various types of coatings such as metallic, ceramic and polymer coatings have been investigated in a quest to find durable coatings to resist electrochemical decay of metals in industrial applications. Many polymeric composite coatings have proved to be resistant against aggressive environments. Two majo...

ball mills are common grinding equipment in mineral processing industries. ball wear results from three mechanisms namely impact, abrasion and corrosion. of these, the corrosion mechanism is the least investigated, due to its chemical-electrochemical nature. therefore, the aims of this research were to investigate the grinding chemistry influence (slurry ph, solid percentage, water chemistry an...

The electrochemical behaviour for passivation of new alloy corrosion-resistant steel Cr10Mo1 immersed in alkaline solutions with different pH values (13.3, 12.0, 10.5, and 9.0) and chloride contents (0.2 M and 1.0 M), was investigated by various electrochemical techniques: linear polarization resistance, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and capacitance measurements.
