Although nitinol is one of most popular materials of intravascular stents, there are still few confirmative biocompatibility data available, especially in vascular smooth muscle cells. In this report, the nitinol wires were corroded in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium with constant electrochemical breakdown voltage and the supernatant and precipitates of corrosion products were prepared as cu...

1,5-Dimethyl-4-((2-methylbenzylidene)amino)-2-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-3(2H)-one (DMPO) was synthesized to be evaluated as a corrosion inhibitor. The corrosion inhibitory effects of DMPO on mild steel in 1.0 M HCl were investigated using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), potentiodynamic polarization, open circuit potential (OCP) and electrochemical frequency modulation (EFM). The results s...

In this investigation, attempts were directed to study the inhibitive effects of nitrite and phosphate base inhibitors for the carbon steel alloy samples, which are used in an acid gas treatment process (The SULFIRAN® solution), in Fe-EDTA solution. Electrochemical techniques, i.e. polarization curves and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), were used to evaluate the inhibition efficie...

The corrosion behaviour of mild steel (MS) was systematically investigated as a function of the alkyl chain length in the cation of 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium tricyanomethanide ([Cnmim]TCM, n 1⁄4 2, 4, 6 and 8) ionic liquids (ILs) with respect to their potential application as a structural material and solvents for CO2 capture plants respectively. The surface of MS was examined by scanning ele...

The biodegradable inhibitors, which could effectively reduce the rate of corrosion of carbon steel, were investigated by potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The mixed-type inhibitors extracted from Eriobotrya japonica Thunb. leaf exhibited excellent inhibition performance, and the inhibition efficiency for carbon steel reached 90.0% at 298 K in hydroch...

Corrosion inhibitors play a major role in the cost effective control of corrosion. Because of the toxic nature and high cost of chemicals plant extracts are currently used as inhibitors. In the current study, efforts are taken to study the role of seed extracts of Phaseolus aureus on corrosion of mild steel in 1M HCl by weight loss method and potentiodynamic polarization technique. The Potentio...

Matrix Analysis of Corrosion Inhibition Phenomena (MACIP), in which an inhibitor isconsidered as a point in a multi-dimensional virtual efficiency space, was performed on somepyridine derivatives. The needed molecular parameters such as HOMO and LUMO energylevels, charge densities on hetero atom, dipole moment, heat of formation, and total energyvalues were obtained by means of semi-empirical q...

The corrosion inhibition of mild steel in 1M H2SO4 by polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) and the synergistic effect of iodide ions were investigated using weight loss and hydrogen evolution methods in the temperature range of 30 – 60 o C. The corrosion rates of mild steel decreased with the increasing concentration of PVP, while the inhibition efficiency (%I) increased. The inhibition efficiency of PV...

Corrosion behavior of mild steel in chloride contaminated alkaline solution has been studied for the period up to 100days. Saturated Calcium hydroxide solution was used as alkaline solution and 0.5M NaCl solution was used to accelerate mild steel corrosion. The Charge transfer resistance Rct, Current density Icorr and inhibition efficiency values were obtained from tafel polarization and electr...
