Hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) was studied as corrosion inhibitor for mild steel and aluminium in 0.5 M H2SO4 solution using weight loss and electrochemical techniques. The results revealed that HEC inhibited corrosion of mild steel and aluminium in sulphuric acid environment. Inhibition efficiency was found to depend on concentration of the inhibitor. Impedance results revealed that HEC was adso...

Corrosion inhibition of aluminum (Al) in hydrochloric acid by anionic polyeletrolyte pectates (PEC) as a water-soluble natural polymer polysaccharide has been studied using both gasometric and weight loss techniques. The results drawn from these two techniques are comparable and exhibit negligible differences. The inhibition efficiency was found to increase with increasing inhibitor concentrati...

AIM The aim of the study is to investigate the galvanic corrosion potential of metal injection molding (MIM) brackets to that of conventional brackets under similar in vitro conditions with nickel-titanium and copper nickel-titanium archwires. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-five maxillary premolar MIM stainless steel brackets and 25 conventional stainless steel brackets and archwires, 0.16 inch...

Corrosion inhibitory effects of new synthesized compound namely 5,5'- ((1Z,1'Z)-(1,4-phenylenebis(methanylylidene))bis(azanylylidene))bis(1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-thiol) (PBB) on mild steel in 1.0 M HCl was investigated at different temperatures using open circuit potential (OCP), potentiodynamic polarization (PDP) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Results showed that PBB inhibited m...

Schiff base (E)-2-methyl-N-(tetrazolo[1,5-a]quinolin4-ylmethylene)aniline (QMA) was synthesized, and its inhibitive effect for mild steel in 1N HCl solution was investigated by weight loss measurement and electrochemical tests. From the weight loss measurements and electrochemical tests, it was observed that the inhibition efficiency increases with the increase in the Schiff base concentration ...

Microbially-influenced corrosion (MIC) contributes to the general corrosion rate (CR), which is typically measured with carbon steel coupons. Here we explore the use of carbon steel ball bearings, referred to as beads (55.0 ± 0.3 mg; Ø = 0.238 cm), for determining CRs. CRs for samples from an oil field in Oceania incubated with beads were determined by the weight loss method, using acid treatme...

Water-soluble metal working fluids are used for processing of aluminum alloy materials. This short article describes properties of new additives in water-soluble metal working fluids for aluminum alloy materials. Many half esters or diesters were prepared from the reactions of higher alcohols with acid anhydrides. Interestingly, diesters of PTMG (tetrahydrofuran oligomer, MW = 650 and 1000) and...

The paper considers the modeling of CO 2 -corrosion on chromium-containing steels 1-5%. Study protective properties a layer corrosion products with chromium content 1-5% and effect periodic hydrochloric acid treatments.

An overview is given of the anomalous behavior of some metals, in particular Fe and Cr, in acidic aqueous solutions during anodic dissolution. The anomaly is recognizable by the fact that during anodic dissolution more material dissolves than would be expected from the Faraday law with the use of the expected valence of the formed ions. Mechanical disintegration, gas bubble blocking, hydrogen e...

Zinc-nickel alloys with 8-15% nickel were deposited onto stainless steel for corrosion protection. Alkaline deposition conditions were utilized given that alkaline systems have been found to offer superior substrate coverage which results in better corrosion protection of the metal substrate (stainless steel) compared to acid bath depositions. This method utilizes ammonium hydroxide as the base...
