ABSTRACTAn electrochemical study was carried out in order to obtain the effects of the turbulent flow condition on the stainless steel corrosion immersed in natural seawater using an electrochemical corrosion technique like electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). A three-electrode electrochemical glass cell was used to obtain the electrochemical measures, where a cylinder of the AISI 410 stainless steel was used as working electrode, a saturated calomel electrode as reference electrode and a synthesised graphite rod as auxiliary electrode. 24 hours was the total exposure time. In order to control the hydrodynamic conditions a rotating cylinder electrode (RCE) was used and, a scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used in order to obtain the superficial analyses of the metallic surface after tests. The results of the electrochemical techniques shown that at 1000 rpm of the rotation speed, the corrosion rate (CR) increased as the exposure time also increased. In additions, in the other rotations speed (2000, 3000 and 5000 rpm), the CR was affected by the corrosion products formed on metallic surface. t is important to point out that the corrosion morphology found in the steel sample was localized corrosion.

This paper presents an electrochemical characterization of X60 steel corrosion using polarization curves. In order to get a surface analysis, a Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) was used. Analyses by Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) were done to characterize the corrosion products films formed on surface of the steel sample at the different overvoltages studied. The electrolyte was a synthetic soil solution and all electrochemical parameter was measured at room temperature, atmospheric pressure and 24 hours of the total exposure time. It is important to point out that these parameters were measured in the protection potential (versus saturated calomel electrode, SCE) and at different overvoltages. The results of the polarization curves show that the corrosion rate increased as the overvoltage also increased and this behaviour was corroborated by the superficial analysis obtained by SEM; where the corrosion morphology was localized and the aggresivity increased with the overvoltage. In addition, in all overvoltages, the anodic reaction was limited by a mass transfer process. A localized corrosion form was found in all tests.

In this study, a waste of biorefinery—lignin—is investigated as an anticorrosion coating on stainless steel. Corrosion behavior of two lignin types (hardwood beech and softwood spruce) was studied by electrochemical measurements (linear sweep voltammetry, open circuit potential, potentiostatic polarization, cyclic potentiodynamic polarization, and electrochemical impedance measurements) during exposure to simulated body fluid (SBF) or phosphate buffer (PBS). Results from linear sweep voltammetry of lignin-coated samples, in particular, demonstrated a reduction in corrosion current density between 1 and 3 orders of magnitude cf. blank stainless steel. Furthermore, results from cross cut adhesion tests on lignin-coated samples demonstrated that the best possible adhesion (grade 0) of ISO 2409 standard was achieved for the investigated novel coatings. Such findings suggest that lignin materials could transform the field of organic coatings towards more sustainable alternatives by replacing non-renewable polymer coatings.

Localized corrosion constitutes a major concern in medical devices made of stainless steel. The conventional approach to circumvent such a problem is to convert the surface polycrystalline microstructure of the native oxide layer to an amorphous oxide layer, a few micrometers thick. This process cannot, however, be used for devices such as stents that undergo plastic deformation during their implantation, especially those used in vascular surgery for the treatment of cardiac, neurological, and peripheral vessels. This work explores the feasibility of producing a nano-thick plastic-deformation resistant amorphous oxide layer by plasma-based surface modifications. By varying the plasma process parameters, oxide layers with different features were produced and their properties were investigated before and after clinically-relevant plastic deformation. These properties and the related corrosion mechanisms were mainly evaluated using the electrochemical methods of open-circuit potential, cyclic potentiodynamic polarization, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Results showed that, under optimal conditions, the resistance to corrosion and to the permeation of ions in a phosphate buffered saline, even after deformation, was significantly enhanced.

AbstractPhenylcoumarin glucoside (4-PC) is a compound extracted from the plant Hintona latiflora and was studied as inhibitor for AISI 1018 steel corrosion in 3% NaCl solution using potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques, which may find application as eco-friendly corrosion inhibitors. The 4-PC provides inhibitor properties that protect AISI 1018 low carbon steel against corrosion at low concentrations (5 ppm) obtained by EIS. Polarization studies showed that the inhibitor was of mixed type. The inhibition efficiency by the two electrochemical techniques shows similar results. The inhibitor adsorption was demonstrated to be a combined process (physisorption and chemisorption) according to the Langmuir isotherm.

The corrosion performance of AISI-309 exposed 5 days to molten salts 50 mol% V2O5-50 mol% Na2SO4at 700°C is reported in this paper. Such evaluation was made using three electrochemical techniques: potentiodynamic polarization curve (PC), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and linear polarization resistance (Rp). FromPC, the Tafel slopes,Icorr, andEcorrwere obtained. From Nyquist and Bode plots, it was possible to determine two different stages; the first one showed just one loop, which indicated the initial formation of Cr2O3layer over the metallic surface; after that, the dissolution of Cr2O3formed a porous layer, which became part of the corrosion products; at the same time a NiO layer combined with sulfur was forming, which was suggested as the second stage, represented by two capacitive loops. EIS plots were in agreement with the physical characterization made from SEM and EDS analyses. Fitting of EIS experimental data allowed us to propose two electrical circuits, being in concordance with the corrosion stages. Parameters obtained from the simulation of EIS data are also reported. From the results, it was stated that AISI-309 suffered intergranular corrosion due to the presence of sulfur, which diffused to the metallic surface through a porous Cr2O3layer.

Achyranthes aspera (AA) extracts were studied as corrosion inhibitor for mild steel (MS) in industrial water medium using mass loss and electrochemical techniques. The results of the study revealed that AA extracts inhibit MS corrosion through adsorption process following Langmuir adsorption isotherm model. The protection efficiency increased with increase in inhibitor concentration and decreased with temperature. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements showed that the charge transfer resistance increases with increase in the concentration of AA extracts. The polarization curves obtained indicate that AA extracts act as mixed type of inhibitor. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to analyze the surface adsorbed film.

Stainless steel (SS) is one of the most commonly used metallic food contact materials. It may be classified based on its microstructure whether ferritic, austenitic, martensitic, duplex or precipitation hardened. Austenitic SS, among mentioned grades, has the largest contribution to market due to its numerous industrial and domestic applications. In this study, the corrosion behavior of AISI 202 SS – a cheaper grade of stainless steel, in three different solution temperatures of citric acid was investigated using different electrochemical techniques such as open-circuit potential (OCP) measurements, potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results were compared to that obtained from conventional AISI 304 SS. OCP, polarization and impedance measurements agreed that AISI 202 SS has comparable resistance to that of AISI 304 SS in citric acid at ambient temperature and at 50 °C. At 70 °C, results of OCP measurements suggest that AISI 304 SS exhibited greater performance as indicated by more positive OCP values in the designated solution. EIS results indicate that the two alloys have identical corrosion resistance even at 70 °C as indicated by their comparable polarization resistance (Rp). The corrosion mechanism in both alloys is charge-transfer controlled as indicated by depressed semi-circular appearance of the generated Nyquist plots. The values of corrosion current densities (icorr) extracted from polarization curves indicate that the initial corrosion rates were higher in AISI 304 than AISI 202 SS suggesting that formation of more protective film may have occurred on the former alloy.

Corrosion is the deterioration of metal by chemical attack or reaction with its environment. It is a constant and continuous problem, often difficult to eliminate completely. Prevention would be more practical and achievable than complete elimination. Recently, a huge interested for the use of naturally occurring inhibitors extracted from plants have been emerged. Most of the natural products are non-toxic, biodegradable and readily available due to environmental concerns. The inhibitor is chemically adsorbed on the surface of the metal and forms a protective thin film with inhibitor effect or by combination between inhibitor ions and metallic surface. Corrosion of copper and its inhibition was analyzed by weight loss (Gravimetric), effect of temperature and time of immersion methods. Electrochemical methods such as, Potentiodynamic polarization and Electrochemical Impedance Spectra (EIS) were employed. The protective films formed on metal surface have been analyzed by various techniques such as Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDS) and. Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), UV-Visible spectra, X-ray Diffraction spectroscopy (XRD), Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX), electrochemical frequency modulation (EFM) techniques. The results obtained from weight loss and electrochemical techniques were in good agreement. In this review paper, research works produced over the past background on the corrosion of copper in various medium and their corrosion inhibition by using a various green inhibitors were presented.

This paper deals with the effect of anion groups (SO42- and Cl-) on inhibition behaviours of Vietnam orange peel essential oil (OPE) for corrosion process of mild steel in acidic media. The electrochemical techniques (potentiodynamic, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS)), weight loss and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses are used in this study. The results show that anion groups do not affect the inhibition mechanism of OPE. The OPE ­behaves as mixed inhibitor for mild steel corrosion in both 1N HCl and H2SO4 acid. The inhibition efficiency of OPE in 1N HCl is greater than that in 1N H2SO4 which implies that the adsorption of the inhibitor is influenced by the nature of anions in acidic solutions. Moreover, the OPE inhibits both general and pitting corrosion for mild steel in the acidic media.
