ABSTRACTEvidence for the formation of a passive layer between a conductive polymer coating and aluminum alloy surfaces is reported Experimental results from electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) on aluminum alloys coated with a novel double strand conductive polymer coating based on polyaniline reveal the evidence for the formation of passive layer. The key results are: (1) Modeling of EIS data is best fit with a three RC circuit, indicating a third interface between the polymer coating and the alloy's surface; (2) EIS testing in acidic salt solutions shows the conductive polymer coating performs differently and better than a typical anodized or chromáte conversion coating indicating a possibly different interface layer than a typical aluminum oxide and (3) SEM studies of the aluminum surface, after the polymer film is removed, indicates that this interfacial layer has a dense and smooth “oxide type” surface morphology. The experimental results are consistent with a mechanism in which the conducting polymer serves as a surface conversion agent that oxidizes the aluminum metal surface to form a passive layer.

ABSTRACTWe report the corrosion protection properties of a novel conductive polymer coating on aluminum alloys. The conductive polymer coating is a double strand molecular complex of polyaniline and a polyelectrolyte. The double strand polyaniline offers advantages in stability and processability over other forms of conductive polymers. The coated aluminum alloys (AA7075- T6) were evaluated for corrosion protection in an aggressive salt environment of.5N NaCl solutions using cyclic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Corrosion current densities were calculated for uncoated alloy samples and alloys coated with the conductive and non-conductive derivative of the double strand polymer. The conductive form of the double strand polyaniline coating shows a two order of magnitude lowering of the corrosion current over the uncoated samples and a one order magnitude lowering over the non-conductive form of the polymer coated samples. The shape of the cyclic polarization data closely resembles results of sulfuric acid anodized aluminum. This data indicates that the conductive state of the polymer is required for improved corrosion protection and an anodized type protection is occurring.

Powder metallurgy (P/M) process has the advantage of better formability to fabricate complex shape products without machining and welding. And recently this P/M process has been applied to the production of aluminum alloys. The P/M aluminum alloys thus produced also have received considerable interest because of their fine and homogeneous structure. Many papers have been published on the mechanical properties of the aluminum alloys produced by P/M process while there have been few on their corrosion properties from the view point of electrochemistry. In this experiment, therefore, two kinds of 7075 aluminum alloys prepared by the conventional ingot metallurgy (I/M) process and P/M process were used, I/M material is commercially available. and their corrosion behavior were investigated through the electrochemical tests such as potentiodynamic polarization test, slow rate strain tensile (SSRT) test and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurement under SSRT test in the corrosion solution and the deionized water.

In the present investigation, the plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) process was employed to form aluminum oxide coating layers to enhance corrosion resistance properties of high-strength aluminum alloys. The formed protective coating layers were examined by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and characterized by several electrochemical techniques, including open circuit potential (OCP), linear potentiodynamic polarization (LP) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results were reported in comparison with the bare 6061-O aluminum alloy to determine the corrosion performance of the coated 6061-O alloy. The PEO-treated aluminum alloy showed substantially higher corrosion resistance in comparison with the untreated substrate material. A relationship was found between the coating formation stage, process parameters and the thickness of the oxide-formed layers, which has a measurable influence on enhancing corrosion resistance properties. This study demonstrates promising results of utilizing PEO process to enhance corrosion resistance properties of high-strength aluminum alloys and could be recommended as a method used in industrial applications.

Inhibition Ability

The inhibition ability of a new Azomethine derivatives containing the 8-hydroxyquinoline (BDHQ and MDHQ) towards carbon steel corrosion in HCl solution was studied at various concentrations and temperatures using weight loss, polarization curves and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) methods. The experimental results reveal that BDHQ and MDHQ are efficient mixed type corrosion inhibitors, and their inhibition efficiencies increase with increasing concentration. The adsorption of these inhibitors on mild steel surface obeys Langmuir isotherm. Quantum chemical parameters are calculated using the Density Functional Theory method (DFT) and Monte Carlo simulations. Correlation between theoretical and experimental results is discussed.

The extract of Justicia secunda (JS) leaves was investigated as an eco‐friendly corrosion inhibitor of aluminum in 0.5 M HCl using weight loss, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), potentiodynamic polarization (PDP), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques. The inhibitor concentrations used ranged from 50 to 250 ppm at 30, 40, and 50oC. Results show that Justicia secunda acts as a good inhibitor for aluminum. Its efficiency increased with increasing inhibitor concentration but decreased with increasing temperature. Maximum inhibition efficiency as high as 94.3% was found at 30°C for 250 ppm of the inhibitor with the weight loss technique. Tafel polarization results show that the extract acts as a mixed-type inhibitor. The Nyquist plots indicated decreasing double-layer capacitance and increasing charge transfer resistance on increasing JS concentration. The inhibition action occurred through the physical adsorption of the extract on the aluminum surface. The adsorption process was found to follow Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The formation of a protective film on the metal surface was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy.

To find a suitable material for Fe-air battery anode, Fe2O3 nanoparticles (nm) and microparticles (µm) were used as active materials and Acetylene Black carbon (AB) as additive to prepare Fe2O3/AB composites. The effect of grain size of iron oxide particles and additives on the electrochemical behavior of Fe2O3/AB composite electrodes in alkaline solution have been investigated using cyclic voltammetry (CV), galvanostatic cycling and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements. Iron oxide nanoparticles provided better cyclability than iron oxide microparticles. Impedance of electrode increased during cycling but the nm-Fe2O3/AB electrode gave smaller resistance than µm-Fe2O3/AB one. The additives showed strongly effects on the electrochemical behaviors of iron oxide electrodes. The AB additive enhanced the electric conductivity of Fe2O3/AB electrode and thus increased the redox reaction rate of iron oxide while K2S interacted and broke down the passive layer leading to improved cyclability and giving higher capacity for Fe2O3/AB electrodes.
