For modern engines the oil change interval can reach up to 30,000 km. If the oils lose their properties and are contaminated, they can adversely affect the corrosion resistance, the surface of the main bearing journals and the main journals of the crankshafts. In this study, the results obtained from the corrosion process were analyzed, in a solution of 3.5% NaCl of the layers obtained after spraying the surface of a C45 steel, used in the construction of crankshafts, with three powders: Cr3C2-(Ni20Cr), Al2O3-13TiO2, Cr2O3-SiO2-TiO2. The corrosion process was determined by the potentiodynamic polarization technique. The variations in time of the open-circuit potential and the Tafel curves were analyzed, for the samples with deposited layers and the basic material. Morphology and characterization of the structure of the layers after corrosion were performed by means of SEM microscopy and EDAX analysis. The results confirm that the powders sprayed by the atmospheric plasma spray method protect the surface of C45 steel from corrosion.

The corrosion behaviour of nickel-based alloys (Heraenium, Verabond and V alloy) in simulated saliva was studied by gravimetric, pH-metric and conductometric methods, as well as by potentiodynamic polarization and by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The main parameters of the corrosion process were established. Additionally, the results obtained with SEM and AAS analyses were reported. All alloys pass directly into a stable passive region, without exhibiting the usual active-passive transition. The EIS results show that a Ni-based alloy exhibits passivity at open circuit potential. The proposed equivalent circuit contains two R-CPE elements in parallel. The physical meaning given to the circuit is the association of the film/electrolyte interface with the passive film itself. The corrosion resistance of the studied non-precious alloys is in the following order: Heraenium alloy ] V alloy ] Verabond alloy.

Simultaneous additions of tungsten, chromium and zirconium in the chromium- and zirconium-enriched sputter-deposited binary W-xCr and W-yZr are effective to improve the corrosion resistance property of the ternary amorphous W- xCr-yZr alloys after immersion for 240 h in 1 M NaOH solution open to air at 25°C. The corrosion rates of all the examined sputter-deposited (10-57)W-(18-42)Cr-(25-73)Zr alloys is higher than those of alloy-constituting elements (that is, tungsten, chromium and zirconium) in aggressive 1 M NaOH solution open to air at 25°C. The corrosion rates of all the examined sputter−deposited W–xCr–yZr alloys containing 10-57 at% tungsten, 18-42 at% chromium and 25-73 at% zirconium were in the range of 1.5-2.5 × 10−3 mm/y or lower which are more than two orders of magnitude lower than that of sputter-deposited tungsten and even about one order of magnitude lower than those of the sputter-deposited zirconium in 1 M NaOH solution.

Corrosion resistance of pure Fe, Cr, and Ni materials exposed in NaVO3molten salt at 700°C was evaluated in static air during 100 hours. The corrosion resistance was determined using potentiodynamic polarization, open circuit potential, and lineal polarization resistance. The conventional weight loss method (WLM) was also used during 100 hours. The electrochemical results showed that Fe and Cr have a poor corrosion resistance, whereas pure Ni showed the best corrosion performance, which was supported by the passive layer of NiO formed on the metallic surface and the formation of Ni3V2O8during the corrosion processes, which is a refractory compound with a higher melting point than that of NaVO3, which reduces the corrosivity of the molten salt. Also, the behavior of these materials was associated with the way in which their corresponding oxides were dissolved together with their type of corrosion attack. Through this study, it was confirmed that when materials suffer corrosion by a localized processes such as pitting, the WLM is not reliable, since a certain amount of corrosion products can be kept inside the pits. The corroded samples were analyzed through scanning electron microscopy.

We present the preparation and inhibition behavior of rebar in the presence of calcium nitrate (CN)-containing microcapsules with concentrations of 0.50, 2.00, and 5.00 wt.% in concrete. From both open circuit potential (OCP) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy spectra, it was found that an addition of microcapsules containing CN corrosion inhibitor into concrete beams successfully repassivated or maintained the passivity of the rebar when the concrete was cracked. This corrosion inhibitor repassivated the rebar by forming a passive layer on the rebar surface under the crack. This repassivation process was evident by an increase of OCP values to more positive values or by stable OCP values at around -100 mV vs SCE. An increase in phase angle after corrosion activation for the sample with 2.00 wt.% microcapsule clearly showed this repassivation process. The optimum concentration for maintaining the passivity on rebar in the cracked concrete was found to be 5.00 wt.%.

In order to improve corrosion stability and biocompatibility of titanium surfaces, hydroxyapatite (Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2, HAP) has been used as coating material due to the fact that it possess similar chemical composition as bone tissue. Lignin?s (Lig) usage in medical applications could be interesting because it could lead to thermal stability, hydrophilicity, biocompatibility and biodegradability of different materials. Bioceramic hydroxyapatite/lignin (HAP/Lig) coatings on titanium were obtained from ethanol suspension by electrophoretic deposition method. The uniform and compact HAP/Lig coatings were deposited at constant voltage of 60 V for 45 s and sintered at 900?C in argon atmosphere. The corrosion stability of sintered HAP/Lig coatings in simulated body fluid (SBF) at 37?C was investigated by open circuit potential-time measurements and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The greater values of open circuit potential, as well as EIS results, indicated improved corrosion resistance and good corrosion stability of HAP/Lig coatings in simulated body fluid at 37?C .

Micro-arc oxidization of AM50 magnesium alloys was studied. The influence of micro-arc oxidization process was investigated; phase structure were analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD). Open circuit potential (OCP) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were used to evaluate the corrosion resistance of ceramic coatings formed on magnesium alloys under stress conditions. XRD analyses indicate that the ceramic coatings fabricated on the surface of magnesium alloys by micro-arc oxidization are composed of spinel phase MgAl2O4 The corrosion resistance of ceramic coatings is improved compared with magnesium alloy substrate.

The electrochemical behaviour of a cobalt rotating electrode in H2CO3/HCO3–/CO32– aqueous solutions was investigated in the pH region from 7 to 9. The effects of H2CO3/HCO3–/CO32– concentration, pH, and the presence of phosphates as inhibitors was explored using a rotating disc electrode at 1000 rpm. Some potentiodynamic experiments indicate that for pH 8.5 and higher, carbonate and bicarbonate species play a key role on the rate of electrooxidation of cobalt. For pH lower than 8.5, the electrochemical behaviour of cobalt changes drastically and very aggressive corrosion is observed. The involvement of carbonic acid must be considered in the corrosion process of cobalt in this pH region. The study of passive film potential decay under open circuit potential and galvanostatic reduction was performed on preanodized cobalt electrodes in solutions of various compositions. These experiments indicated the phenomena occurring at the electrode–solution interface during the corrosion process. A mechanism involving competitive adsorption of different species is suggested on the basis of the experimental evidence.Key words: cobalt, bicarbonate, phosphate, carbonic acid, corrosion.

Objectives. In this study we evaluated corrosion resistance of three types of metal alloys (two NiCr and one CoCr). Methods. Samples (coded A, B, C) of circular shape, with dimensions 13 x 1.5 mm, sanded and polished, were introduced in Fusayama Meyer artificial saliva at pH 5.2 and 37 ± 0.5°C and tested in terms of corrosion resistance with a potentiostat/galvanostat (model 4000 PARSTAT, Princeton Applied Research). Results. Open circuit potential EOC [mV] ranged between 21.316 and 5.75. Corrosion potential Ecor [mV] was between -73.536 and -395.662, and the corrosion current density icor [A/cm2] was between 1.237 x 10-6 and 905.13 x 10-9. Conclusion. The best corrosion behavior in Fusayama Meyer artificial saliva at pH 5.2 and at a temperature of 37 ± 0.5°C is the alloy A, followed by the alloy C.
