Due to the progress in Computed Tomography (CT) applied for dimensional control new fields in materials characterization are opened. Especially volume properties can be non-destructively and quantitatively analysed which are non-accessible by other methods. These possibilities are used to study time dependent properties of corrosion. As an example concrete cylinders with embedded steel bars as ...

A monitoring solution was developed for detection of material loss in metals such as carbon steel using the force generated by permanent magnets in addition to the optical strain sensing technology. The working principle of the sensing system is related to the change in thickness of a steel plate, which typically occurs due to corrosion. As thickness decreases, the magnetostatic force between t...

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 electrochemical behaviour for passivation of new alloy corrosion-resistant steel Cr10Mo1 immersed in alkaline solutions with different pH values (13.3, 12.0, 10.5, and 9.0) and chloride contents (0.2 M and 1.0 M), was investigated by various electrochemical techniques: linear polarization resistance, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and capacitance measurements. The chemical compositi...

The aim of this present work is to study, the corrosion behavior of carbon steel in well water in the presence of sodium tungstate (ST)-Zn 2+ -N-(phosphenomethyl) iminodiaceticacid (NPMIDA) solutions. Electrochemical studies and FTIR spectral studies and weight loss study have been employed. It was found that the inhibition efficiency (IE) of ST (50 ppm)-Zn 2+ (10 ppm) was improved from 8% to 8...

The use of fly ash is not only in harmony with the concept of sustainable development, but also beneficial to some mechanical properties of concrete. This paper discusses steel corrosion rate time-changing law in concrete with different replacing ratios of low calcium fly ash(10%~30%) and the microcosmic characteristic of concrete-steel interface. The steel corrosion rate was tested by linear p...

The electrochemical corrosion behaviour of mild steel embedded in concrete, and partially immersed in 0.2M H2SO4, was studied in this investigation at ambient temperature by potential monitoring technique. The experimental work was performed with a digital multimeter and a Cu/CuSO4 electrode (CSE) as the reference electrode. Extracts of carica papaya leaves and sodium nitrite (NaNO2) in differe...

Corrosion inhibition behavior of Ascorbic acid (AA) vitamin C and Thiamine (Th) vitamin B1 on mild steel corrosion in 0.5 M HCl was investigated at various immersion times. The electrochemical characteristics of mild steel in absence and presence of the inhibitors were verified by the cyclic voltammetry method. The protective properties of the passive film were acquired by electrochemical imped...

The resistance and susceptibility of austenitic stainless steel, Type 304, exposed to strong tetraoxosulphate (VI) acids (2 and 5 M concentrations) contaminated with sodium chloride at ambient temperatures was investigated by gravimetric and metallographic/scanning electron microscopy surface characterization methods. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used to examine and characterize the t...

3-Methyl-1-phenyl-1,5-dihydro-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-4-thione was prepared and used as a key compound for the preparation of some S-acyclic nucleosides of pyrazolo[3,4d]pyrimidine-thiones. Furthermore, the corrosion inhibitions of the prepared compounds towards carbon steel corrosion by 1.0 M hydrochloric acid were evaluated by chemical and electrochemical methods. The effect of inhibitors c...
