Polymer coatings can be used to mitigate the corrosion of steel in high chloride environments. Obtaining speciation information from thin corrosion layers can be important for understanding corrosion mechanisms, including polymer coating failure. This study outlines the effectiveness of collecting glancing angle X-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy (GA-XANES) spectra at the Fe K-edge to obtain chemical speciation information at the polymer-steel interface without removal of the polymer film. The depth of penetration of the incident X-rays can be altered by changing the incidence angle, allowing for more fluorescence signal from corrosion products to be detected relative to the Fe metal fluorescence signal in GA-XANES spectra. This study demonstrates the use of GA-XANES to study thin layers of steel corrosion and obtain depth profile information of steel corrosion products beneath a polymethyl methacrylate polymer coating.

The corrosion processes and mechanisms of Q235A steel under wet-dry cyclic condition were studied using polarization curve compared with immersion samples, while, the corrosion morphologies and corrosion products of the steel samples were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The cathodic process of wet-dry samples was likely to be controlled not by the oxygen reduction, but rather by the reduction of corrosion products. During the drying process of the wet-dry sample, the electrolyte thickness decreased and chloride concentration increased. Oxygen would be much easier to diffuse into the interface of electrolyte/metal, which improved the cathodic reduction processes. Except for this, the rust itself took part in the reduction processes and hence increased the corrosion rate of the steel samples.

AbstractA technique has been developed for quantitative analysis of the major constituents in small samples (less than 0.1 g) of corrosion products found On various missile parts. The technique was developed primarily to aid in interpretation of X-ray diffraction patterns of multicomponent corrosion products. The corrosion sample is mixed with KBr and the mixture is pressed into a disk in the same fashion commonly used in infrared work. The Br Kβ1 line serves as an internal standard. Intensities of the element's Kα line and the internal standard are established by scanning through the appropriate Bragg angle and recording peak heights on a strip-chart recorder. A xenon-filled proportional detector and a pulse-height analyzer were used.The percent of an element is determined by references to calibration curves which relate intensity ratios to weight ratios for the 3-d transition metals. The oxides of the metals were used in the preparation of the calibration curves. The weight ratio vs. intensity ratio relationship is linear over the weight ratio range 0.01 to 0.11. Data were collected using an air path and a helium path; the higher intensity ratios obtained with, the helium path, and the dependence of intensity on atomic number are illustrated. A comparison is made between the intensity ratios in a KBr matrix and in a NaBr matrix. The technique developed requires about 15 min sample preparation time.

Purpose This paper aims to investigate the corrosion behavior of zinc in a typical hot and dry atmosphere. It proposes the dynamic corrosion for different exposure periods. Results can provide the basic data and corrosion mechanism of zinc in such environment. Design/methodology/approach In this paper, the authors investigated the corrosion behavior of pure zinc exposed in the typical hot and dry environment in Turpan for one-four years, which has never been studied. Scanning electron microscopy, laser scanning confocal microscopy, electron probe micro-analyzer (EPMA), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were conducted to measure the corrosion morphology and products of zinc. Finally, combining electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and scanning Kelvin probe techniques, the corrosion mechanism of zinc in Turpan was examined. Findings The thickness loss of the zinc followed an exponential law with respect to exposure time: D = 3.17 t0.61, and both of the rust layer resistance and the charge transfer resistance increased with exposure time. The corrosion products mainly comprised ZnO, Zn(OH)2, Zn5(CO3)2(OH)6, Zn4SO4(OH)6·5H2O and Zn12(SO4)3Cl3(OH)15·5H2O. The Kelvin potentials shifted toward the positive direction from −0.380 to −0.262 V (vs saturated calomel electrode [SCE]) when the exposure time extended from one to four years and the distribution of the corrosion products became more and more uniform. Originality/value The corrosion behavior of pure zinc in the typical hot and dry environment in Turpan has not been studied. The dynamic corrosion for different exposure periods was obtained. The corrosion products were systemically investigated via energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, EPMA, XPS and XRD.
