Abstract The potential for galvanic corrosion between carbon steel and duplex (22Cr) stainless steel in impure ethylene glycol (CH2OHCH2OH) is assessed. The temperature dependence of the corrosion is determined, as well as the effect of temperature on the conductivity of dry, wet, and impure wet ethylene glycol. The temperature dependence of the corrosion can be explained by the change in electrical resistance of the glycol with temperature. The authors also show the importance of testing corrosiveness by using the actual working fluid rather than a simulation fluid.

We present a model to understand the effect of temperature on the electrical resistance of individual semiconducting single wall carbon nanotubes (s-SWCNTs) of various diameters under various electric fields. The temperature dependence of the resistance of s-SWCNTs and metallic SWCNTs (m-SWCNTs) are compared. These results help us to understand the temperature dependence of the resistance of SWCNTs network. We experimentally examine the temperature dependence of the resistance of random networks of SWCNTs, prepared by dispersing CNTs in ethanol and drop-casting the solution on prefabricated metallic electrodes. Examining various samples with different electrode materials and spacings, we find that the dominant resistance in determination of the temperature dependence of resistance of the network is the resistance of individual tubes, rather than the tube–tube resistance or tube–metal contact resistance. It is also found that the tube–tube resistance depends on the electrode spacing and it is more important for larger electrode spacings. By applying high electric field to burn the all-metallic paths of the SWCNTs network, the temperature dependence of the resistance of s-SWCNTs is also examined. We also investigate the effect of acid treatment of CNTs on the temperature dependence of the resistance of SWCNTs and also multi-wall CNTs (MWCNTs) networks.

Three types of corrosion inhibitors consisting of sodium diphosphate (Na2H2P2O7), sodium benzoate (NaC7H5O2), and sodium tetraborate (Na2B4O7) were evaluated to analyze their effectiveness to inhibit the aluminum alloy 3303 (UNS A93303) against corrosion, in water-ethylene glycol (C2H6O2) mixture. Potentiodynamic polarization tests were carried out to study the effect of each chemical. The temperature of solutions was 88°C and the aluminum samples were coupled with five other metals consisting of mild steel, stainless steel, brass, copper, and solder to include the effect of galvanic corrosion. The results showed that sodium diphosphate can effectively protect the aluminum alloy 3303 in comparison with two other chemicals. The effect of thermal shocking on the corrosivity of water-ethylene glycol solution was also investigated. It was indicated that the corrosivity of water-ethylene glycol solution increases because of thermal shocking, which oxidizes the aqueous ethylene glycol. The corrosion rate of aluminum alloy 3303 coupled with the five metals in thermal shocked water-ethylene glycol solution is 142 mpy, while it is 94 mpy in fresh water-ethylene glycol solution.
