The electrochemical behavior of passive films formed on AISI 321 has been examined using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. AISI 321 is characterized by high interfacial impedance, thereby illustrating its high corrosion resistance. Results showed that the interfacial impedance and the polarization resistance initially increase with applied potential, within the low potential. However, at a sufficiently high potential ( V), the interfacial impedance and the polarization resistance decrease with increasing potential. The impedance data were adequately represented by an equivalent electrical circuit model based on point defect model, which described the behavior of the passive film on stainless steel more satisfactorily than the proposed models.

The passivity and protective nature of the passive films are essentially related to ionic and electronic transport processes, which are controlled by the optical and electronic properties of passive films. In this study, the electrochemical behavior of passive films anodically formed on AISI 304 stainless steel in sulfuric acid solution has been examined using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. AISI 304 in sulphuric acid solution is characterized by high interfacial impedance, thereby illustrating its high corrosion resistance. Results showed that the interfacial impedance and the polarization resistance () initially increase with applied potential, within the low potential passive. However, at a sufficiently high potential passive ( V), the interfacial impedance and the polarization resistance decrease with increasing potential. An electrical equivalent circuit based on the impedance analysis, which describes the behavior of the passive film on stainless steel more satisfactorily than the proposed models, is presented.

Metallic materials are well known and widely used in various industrial sectors. However, they can be easily corroded in various aggressive environments. The protective action of stainless steel by two organic pyrazole compounds: {1-amino-5,10-dioxo-3-(p-tolyl)-5,10-dihydro-1H-pyrazolo[1,2-b]phthalazine-2-carbonitrile} and {1-amino-3-(2-chlorophenyl)-5,10-dioxo-5,10-dihydro-1H-pyrazolo[1,2-b] phthalazine-2-carbonitrile} in H2SO4 2.0M medium was studied using the electrochemical technics (Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS), potentiodynamic polarization), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersion X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). Polarization curves indicate that both compounds act as anodic inhibitors. A suitable equivalent electrical circuit model was used to calculate the impedance parameters. The adsorption study showed that these compounds are adsorbed to the steel surface according to the adsorption isotherm of Langmuir. Effect of temperature was also investigated and activation parameters were evaluated.

Martensitic stainless steels are widely used materials. Their mechanical and corrosion properties are strongly influenced by their microstructure and thereby can be affected by heat treatment. In the present study, the effect of different austenitizing temperatures on the passive film growth kinetics of martensitic stainless steel is studied by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The data was further fitted by the point defect model to determine kinetic parameters. We show that an increasing austenitizing temperature leads to a more protective passive film and slows down passive film dissolution in sulfuric acid.

When performing electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements on a system, we must make sure it fulfills certain conditions. One of them is that it should be stationary that is to say, steady-state and time-invariant. Commonly studied systems are time-variant, for example a corroding electrode or a battery under operation. A corroding electrode sees its polarization resistance decrease with time. A passivating electrode sees its polarization resistance increase with time. These phenomena cause a deformation of the Nyquist impedance at low frequencies. This result was first simulated and validated by experimental measurements on a corroding steel sample undergoing uniform cor­rosion. The effect of performing impedance measurements on a discharging battery was also shown. Several methods are available to check and correct time-variance. The non-stationary distortion (NSD) indicator is used to separate valid and invalid data samples and the so called “4D impedance” method can easily produce instantaneous impedance data.

H2SO4-H2O2 mixtures are a promising and environmentally friendly passivation medium for the stainless-steel pickling process. The corrosion behavior of stainless steel is highly dependent on the kinetics of passive film growth. Long-term electrochemical measurements, including polarization resistance, open circuit potential (OCP), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements were performed to investigate the evolution of the passive state of 304 stainless steel. According to the OCP results, an active-passive transition takes place in 10 ks in 0.5 M H2SO4 solution containing 0.005 M to 0.3 M H2O2. Polarization resistance results indicate that the passive film thickness keeps growing after OCP stabilization in the presence of H2O2. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) results confirmed that the growth of the passive film in H2SO4-H2O2 solutions takes about 9 h. Additionally, according to the Point Defect Model (PDM) and Mott–Schottky analysis, the semiconductor properties of the passive film on 304 stainless steel in H2SO4-H2O2 solution were studied. The results indicate that the passive film is an n-type semiconductor. The donor density is in the range of 1.6 × 10−21 cm−3 to 24 and decreases exponentially with increasing film formation potential (this potential coincides with the final OCP in the corresponding H2SO4-H2O2 solutions). By postulating that most donors are oxygen vacancies, the point defect properties including diffusivity and electrical field strength are obtained.

AbstractStainless steel (SS) is a very corrosion-resistant alloy used in different industrial plants because of its chemical and mechanical properties. However, the high chloride concentration in sulfuric acid (H2SO4) may promote both general corrosion and pitting corrosion. The pitting corrosion susceptibility in SS in chlorinated H2SO4 and the effect of Euphorbia echinus extract (EEE) on both general corrosion and pitting corrosion have been studied using potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, chronoamperometry, cyclic voltammetry, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The pitting potential has been found to shift slightly in the presence of chloride ions (Cl−) in H2SO4. Also, pitting corrosion initiation has been demonstrated in the recorded chronoamperograms as a linear straight line having a positive slope. EEE has reduced the general corrosion and the inhibitor adsorption was found to follow the Langmuir isotherm. SEM micrographs showed that the tested inhibitor has efficiently acted on pitting corrosion for different concentrations of Cl−. Also, the kinetic findings were in good agreement with the surface analysis data. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and ultraviolet-visible absorption spectrophotometric measurements provided more insights on the interaction between the chemical functional groups of the inhibitor and the SS surface.

This work evaluates the inhibitory effect of ethanolic extract of propolis (EEP) on the corrosion of AISI 409 stainless steel (SS) in chloride media. Additions of 100, 200, and 500 μL of EEP in an aqueous sodium chloride solution were performed. The inhibitory effect on the SS was evaluated using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements up to 720 hours in immersion. EEP additions of 200 μL and 500 μL increased the polarization resistance of the SS. After 720 hours of immersion, the highest impedance was identified for the SS in solution with 500 μL of EEP. The maximum inhibition efficiency observed for addition of 500 μL of EEP in solution was 98.1 %, after 360 h of immersion.

The effect of Mn addition on mechanical property and corrosion behavior of hot rolled 19 % Cr duplex stainless steel was investigated. The ultimate tensile strength of specimen decreased from 950 to 840 MPa with increasing Mn content from 3.6 to 5.5 wt.%, and further decreased to 768MPa with Mn content addition up to 8.1 wt.%. The sample with the addition of 5.5 wt.% Mn exhibited the highest elongation up to 43%. The polarization result revealed that higher value of breakdown potentials Eb was obtained with increasing Mn content from 3.6 to 5.5 wt. %, but which decreased with increasing Mn content to 8.1 wt.%. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) spectra showed higher corrosion prevention capability was obtained due to enhancement of polarization resistance with increasing Mn content from 3.6 to 5.5 wt.%.
