The surface treatment of zinc was done with different concentrations of an oxime (2E)-2-(hydroxylamino)-1,2-diphenylethanol molecule by the immersion method. The electrochemical corrosion studies of surface-treated zinc specimens were performed in aqueous sodium chloride solution (1 M, pH 5.0) at different temperatures in order to study the corrosion mechanism. The recorded electrochemical data indicated a basic modification of the cathodic corrosion behavior of the treated zinc resulting in a decrease of the electron transfer rate. The zinc samples treated by immersion in the inhibiting organic solution presented good corrosion resistance. Using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), it was found that a protective film was formed on the surface of zinc.

The electrochemical behaviors of the Ni-base superalloy CMSX-4 were carried out in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution using electrochemical technique. The electrochemical corrosion process was divided into four stages, and reactions at the alloy surface and corrosion morphology at each stage were analyzed. The passivity mechanism at the stable passivation stage and the occurrence of pitting corrosion at the transpassivation state were discussed especially. The corrosion parameters including Ecorr, Epass, ipass and Epit were compared at different temperatures to reveal the relationship between the temperature and the corrosion resistance properties. The corrosion products were investigated by the aid of X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS). By designing different preoxidation procedures, the corrosion mechanism of oxide scales was analyzed for the preoxidized samples.

The effect of different alloying elements on corrosion behavior of copper alloys was investigated using electrochemical corrosion and salt spray corrosion test in NaCl solution. Cu-Ag has the most stable corrosion current in the potentiostatic scanning test, exhibiting a better corrosion resistant performance. It can be analyzed from corrosion surface morphologies that Cu-Ag presents exfoliation corrosion mechanism while Cu-Sn shows crevice corrosion mechanism. Cu-Mg has a complex corrosion process caused by multiple corrosion mechanism. In the salt spray corrosion test, the corrosion degree of Cu-Ag is lighter than those of Cu-Sn and Cu-Mg after 24h test. Therefore, the Cu-Ag alloy exhibits the best corrosion resistance in chloride solution.

Abstract Statistical alloy development programs in which electrochemical screening techniques are used require facilities to produce precision polarization data. Conventional equipment and techniques presently available for such programs are not entirely satisfactory. Therefore, modifications were made to readily available commercial equipment to significantly improve the attainable sensitivity and reproducibility. This paper describes in detail the procedures necessary to produce an apparatus that automatically measures and records anodic and cathodic polarization curves over an applied potential range of ±2.0 volts. Traverse rates between 2 × 10−3 and 3 × 104 volts per hour are attainable and can be used to polarize electrodes through zero volts (with respect to reference electrode) without the necessity of manual switching. A special mode switch is described in detail with which the basic electronic potentiostat can be used as a constant current or constant voltage source by manual selection. The results obtained from three typical polarization experiments: (1) potentiodynamic anodic polarization, (2) galvanodynamic cathodic polarization, and (3) galvanodynamic linear polarization of AISI Type 304 stainless steel in hydrogen saturated 1N H2SO4 at 25 C (77 F), showed the performance of the apparatus to be equal to or superior to that of conventional manual procedures.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to improve the salt spray corrosion and electrochemical corrosion performances of H13 hot work mould steel, Cr–Ni coatings with the different Cr and Ni mass ratios are fabricated using a laser cladding (LC), which provides an experimental basis for the surface modification treatment of H13 steel. Design/methodology/approach Cr–Ni coatings with the different Cr and Ni mass ratios were firstly fabricated on H13 hot work mould steel using a laser cladding (LC). The salt spray corrosion (SSC) and electrochemical corrosion performances of Cr–Ni coatings in 3.5 Wt.% NaCl solution were investigated to analyze the corrosion mechanism, and the effect of mass ratios of Cr and Ni on their corrosion mechanism was discussed. Findings The laser cladded Cr–Ni coatings with the different Cr and Ni mass ratios are composed of Cr–Ni compounds, which are metallurgically combined with the substrate. The SSC resistance of Cr–Ni coating with the Cr and Ni mass ratios of 24:76 is the highest. The electrochemical corrosion resistance of Cr–Ni coating with the Cr and Ni mass ratio of 24:76 is the best among the three kinds of coatings. Originality/value In this study, the corrosion resistance of laser cladded Cr–Ni coatings with the Cr and Ni mass ratios of 17: 83, 20: 80 and 24: 76 was first evaluated using salt spray corrosion (SSC) and electrochemical tests, and the effect of mass ratios of Cr and Ni on their corrosion mechanism was discussed.

The experimatal alloys were aged at different temperatures of 180°C, 200°C, 220°C, and 240º C with calcium addition levels of (X=0.5, 1, 1.5, 2%) on Mg-6Al-1Zn-XCa alloy were investigated in 3.5% NaCl solution. All the experimatal alloys were immersed in 3.5% NaCl solutions and the resulted surface were analyzed to study the corrosion behaviour and its surface topography by optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersed spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. The result shows that corrosion attack occurred predominantly on ß phase and α phase exhibit relatively minor corrosion. In addition to that the increased aging temperature coarsens the intermetallic as well as α- Mg grains, which shows adverse effect to corrosion resistances and the best result were obtained at composition of 0.5wt.% Ca aged at 200°C.

Recently, ZrN has been attracting interest for its excellent corrosion resistance, biocompatibility, high hardness, good lubricity and ductility. Although tribological study of ZrN coating has been carried out extensively, investigation related to corrosion of ZrN film is limited. In view of this and in view of possible applications of ZrN film in several engineering components, the present investigation has been undertaken to evaluate the corrosion response of ZrN film in seawater solution, Hank's solution, 0.5M H2SO4solution and 0.5M HCl solutions. Towards that purpose, potentiostatic, open circuit potential and potentiodynamic study of ZrN film deposited on plain carbon steel has been carried out in all these solutions. Results indicate that stable protective film is formed on the surface of ZrN coating in all these solution except 0.5M H2SO4 solution. The formation of protective film on ZrN coating is fastest in sea water solution and it is slowest in the Cl¯ ions containing media, 0.5 M HCl. The corrosion current is highest for 0.5M H2SO4 acid solution and least for Hank's solution.

Poly(phenylene methylene) (PPM) is a thermally stable, hydrophobic, fluorescent hydrocarbon polymer. Recently, blended PPM has been proposed as a valuable anti-corrosion coating material, and, in particular, rheological additives such as external plasticizers resulted crucial to prevent crack formation. Accordingly, to avoid common problems related to the use of external plasticizers, the development of PPM-related copolymer-based coatings containing n-octyloxy side chains and their anti-corrosion behavior were explored in this study. The aluminum alloy AA2024, widely employed for corrosion studies, was selected as a substrate, covered with a thin layer of a polybenzylsiloxane in order to improve adhesion between the underlying hydrophilic substrate and the top hydrophobic coating. Gratifyingly, coatings with those copolymers were free of bubbles and cracks. The n-octyloxy side-chains may be regarded to adopt the role of a bound plasticizer, as the glass transition temperature of the copolymers decreases with increasing content of alkoxy side-chains. Electrochemical corrosion tests on PPM-substituted coatings exhibited good corrosion protection of the metal surface towards a naturally aerated near-neutrally 3.5% wt.% NaCl neutral solution, providing comparable results to blended PPM formulations, previously reported. Hence, the application of rheological additives can be avoided by use of proper design copolymers.
