The corrosion inhibition of zinc in 1.0 M H2SO4 solution by Cefuroxime axetil has been studied in relation to the concentration of the additive using weight loss measurement, Linear polarization resistant (LPR) and potentiodynamic polarization (PDP).The results indicate that Cefuroxime axetil inhibited corrosion reaction in the acid medium and inhibition efficiency increased with inhibitor conc...

The applications of Bismuth Titanate (BixTiyOz) materials have been focused on their electronic and optical properties, but with respect to the use of these compounds in applications like corrosion resistance, have been very few or nonexistent. For this reason, in the present investigation BixTiyOz thin films were deposited using RF magnetron sputtering onto silicon wafers, stainless steel 316L...

Several austenitic stainless steels suitable for high temperature applications because of their high corrosion resistance and excellent mechanical properties were investigated as biomaterials for dental use. The steels were evaluated by electrochemical techniques such as potentiodynamic polarization curves, cyclic polarization curves, measurements of open circuit potential, and linear polarizat...

Platinum/ruthenium/nitrogen doped diamondlike carbon PtRuN-DLC thin films were deposited on p-Si 100 substrates with dc magnetron cosputtering by varying the dc power applied to a Pt50Ru50 target to investigate the effect of Pt and Ru incorporation in the films on the bonding structure, adhesion strength, surface morphology, and corrosion behavior of the films by means of X-ray photoelectron sp...

Nitrogen doped diamond-like carbon (DLC:N) thin films were deposited on p-Si (100) substrates by DC magnetron sputtering with different nitrogen flow rates at a substrate temperature of about 100 degrees C. The chemical bonding structure of the films was characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and micro-Raman spectroscopy. The adhesive strength and surface morphology of the film...

The acid corrosion inhibition process of mild steel in 1 M HCl by azelaic acid dihydrazide has been investigated using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), potentiodynamic polarization, open circuit potential (OCP) and electrochemical frequency modulation (EFM).
