Effect of aluminum on the corrosion resistance of low‐alloy steel in 10 wt% sulfuric acid solution

The aqueous corrosion behavior of low‐alloy steel with aluminum contents was examined in a 10 wt% H₂SO₄ (pH 0.13) solution using electrochemical techniques and surface analyses. The corrosion resistance of the new alloy steel was evaluated in terms of electrochemical parameters, such as passive current density, film, and charge transfer resistances. The results showed that a high Al content in the steel imparted better passivation behavior resulting in a lower corrosion rate. It related to the enrichment of iron carbonate and hydrocarbon by the dissolution of the carbide phase.

Study of microstructure and corrosion kinetic of steel guitar strings in artificial sweat solution

Corrosion processes of strings on musical instruments occur frequently. Such processes significantly influence sound quality, but also human health because metals may provoke skin allergy. Therefore, in this study the corrosion process of six guitar strings and metal ions release associated with nickel allergy was monitored after immersion in sweat solution for 28 days. Dissolution of metal ions was measured as a function of time, and the changes of the samples after 28 days were studied by SEM/EDS. The results have shown that the amounts of dissolved metal ions in corrosive solution are decreasing in the following order: Fe³⁺ < Sn²⁺ < Mn²⁺ < Si⁴⁺ < Ni²⁺. The corrosion of electric guitar strings in artificial sweat solution was determined by the solubility of samples. The electric guitar strings E6, A5 and D4 corrosion kinetic in artificial sweat followed parabolic rate relation, while g3, h2 and e1 strings followed linear rate relation. After the 4 weeks of monitoring, the quantities of the nickel eluted ions did not exceed the limits prescribed by standard regulations. Therefore, such items do not present a threat to human health.

4‐Chloro‐benzoic acid [1,2,4]triazol‐1‐ylmethyl ester as an effective inhibitor of mild steel corrosion in HCl solution

4‐Chloro‐benzoic acid [1,2,4]triazol‐1‐ylmethyl ester (CBT) was synthesized and its inhibiting action on the corrosion of mild steel in 1 M hydrochloric acid solutions was investigated by means of weight loss, potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results showed that CBT is an excellent inhibitor for mild steel in acid medium and its inhibition efficiency (IE%) is up to 90.2% at a concentration of 10^?3 M at 298 K. EIS showed that the charge transfer controls the corrosion process in the uninhibited and inhibited solutions. Potentiodynamic polarization studies clearly reveal that CBT acts essentially as mixed‐type inhibitor. Thermodynamic parameters such as adsorption heat ( ), adsorption entropy ( ), and adsorption free energy ( ) were obtained and discussed from experimental data of the temperature studies of the inhibition process at four temperatures ranging from 298 to 333 K. Kinetic parameters activation such as , , , and pre‐exponential factor have been calculated and discussed. Adsorption of the inhibitor on the mild steel surface followed Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The values of the free energy of adsorption indicated that the adsorption of CBT molecule was a spontaneous process, and was typical of chemisorption.     

Effect of sulphate reducing bacteria on corrosion of Al?Zn?In?Sn sacrificial anodes in marine sediment

Microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) of Al? Zn? In‐Sn sacrificial anodes in marine sediment was investigated by exposing samples to sulphate reducing bacteria (SRB). Samples exposed to the sterile marine sediment were used as control. The results show that pitting corrosion occurs in both the sterile marine sediment and the SRB‐containing marine sediment. However, the corrosion can be increased sharply by the SRB metabolic activity due to the cathodic depolarization effect. In fact, the effect is based on the consumption of hydrogen which probably results in the acceleration of galvanic corrosion between corrosion products and metal substrate.     

An insight into the influence of morphological and compositional heterogeneity of an individual intermetallic particle on aluminium alloy corrosion initiation

In this work, a multi‐analytical in situ and ex situ approach was used to provide information needed to identify the role of an individual heterogeneous intermetallic particle (IMP) in localized corrosion initiation of aluminium alloys. The heterogeneity of the IMP was studied by combining atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM–EDS) and scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM). A complex Al–Mn–Fe–Si IMP phase with different chemical composition in its inner and outer parts was characterized by SEM–EDS analysis. AFM results uniquely revealed a brain‐like feature of an IMP with 20 nm height variations. Submicron sized galvanic cell induced by morphological and compositional heterogeneity resulted in a localized corrosion attack inside the individual IMP. Various collected current levels measured by SECM were associated to the morphological and compositional heterogeneity of IMPs.     

Electrochemical behavior of titanium‐tantalum alloys in sulfuric acid solutions

Titanium exhibits a good corrosion resistance in oxidizing acids and neutral media but it is severely attacked in reducing acids. On the contrary, tantalum presents an excellent resistance in both oxidizing and reducing acids, but its high cost limits its use to very aggressive conditions. The titanium‐tantalum alloys are promising materials for use in reducing acids, due to their lower cost and density when compared to tantalum, and their higher corrosion resistance when compared to titanium. Titanium‐20, 40, 60 and 80 wt% tantalum alloys were prepared by arc‐melting and their microstructures were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and X‐ray diffractometry. Their electrochemical behaviors were studied in 20 to 80 wt% sulfuric acid solutions at room temperature, using open‐circuit potential measurements, potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Different behaviors were observed depending on the tantalum content and acid concentration. A clear tendency of increase in corrosion resistance with the increase of tantalum content is observed, especially in 80 wt% sulfuric acid solutions.     

Microbial consortium influence upon steel corrosion rate,using the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy technique

The Electrochemical Impedance Technique was used to evaluate the influence of a microbial consortium, isolated from a gas pipeline, upon API XL52 steel corrosion rate. The bacteria growth exhibited two different kinetics behavior, one for the plancktonic and the other for the sessile phase. The sessile bacteria were found to be the main responsible for the corrosion rate increment observed during the experiments and no relationship between the plancktonic microorganisms and the corrosion rate increment was found. The diagrams obtained from the electrochemical impedance measurements, indicated a biofilm formation and that the system changed from activation to diffusion control. Although the system was under diffusion control, an increment on the corrosion rate was detected, and a localized corrosion process was induced. The results were complemented with some surface analysis using Scanning Electron Microscopy.     

Strychnos nux‐vomica an eco‐friendly corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in 1 M sulfuric acid medium

The inhibition efficiency of the extract of Strychnos nux‐vomica for the corrosion of mild steel in 1 M sulfuric acid was investigated using weight loss test (carried out at 303–323 K), electrochemical measurement, and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results of weight loss studies indicated that the inhibition efficiency increased with inhibitor concentration and the temperature of the system (following Temkin adsorption isotherm). Electrochemical studies proved that the inhibitor acts through mixed mode of inhibition and the inhibitor molecules adsorb on the metal–solution interface. SEM studies supported the adsorption of the inhibitor over the metal surface. The possible active ingredient responsible for the anticorrosion effect is identified as brucine which is isolated and screened for the anticorrosion effect using electrochemical studies and quantum chemical studies. The possible mode of corrosion inhibition of brucine is also derived using FT‐IR studies.     

The effect of solution temperature and pH on corrosion performance and morphology of nanoceramic‐based conversion thin film

In the present study, a nanoceramic hexafluorozirconic acid was used as an eco‐friendly conversion coating, which is free of the conventional phosphate salts. The effect of practical parameters on morphology and corrosion resistance of the coating was studied. Anti‐corrosion behavior of the nanoceramic‐based conversion coating on cold rolled steel substrates was evaluated at different solution pH and temperatures, utilizing the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and direct current polarization. Moreover, the morphology of thin films was studied using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE‐SEM). The results revealed that the conversion thin films formed at a dipping temperature of 20 °C and pH 4.5 showed best anti‐corrosion performance. SEM images indicated that increasing solution temperature resulted in micro‐cracks creation and lack of consistency on the surface of the conversion coating. Moreover, the morphological structure changed with increasing pH value.
