In this research, the effect of PEO procedure time on the distinct properties of coatings such as morphology, chemical composition, roughness and corrosion has been studied. A scanning electron microscopy equipped with an energy dispersive spectroscopy was used to study the microstructure of the coatings. In addition, x-ray diffraction (XRD) and roughness meter were used to evaluate the chemica...

The feasibility and sensitivity of electrochemical noise (EN), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and linear polarization resistance (LPR) for detection of corrosion in post-tensioning (PT) components was investigated. The use of the electrical resistance (ER) technique, as well EIS and LPR, to detect air space corrosion at the grout voids was also explored. The results showed that h...

Localized corrosion refers to the accelerated dissolution of metals and alloys due to the breakdown of their protective passive films at select sites [1]. Developing an understanding of localized corrosion phenomena has significant practical importance due to the deleterious effects of pit formation on the integrity of structural materials. However, localized corrosion is a challenging problem ...

Cerium conversion coatings are a potential alternative to chromium conversion coatings for improving the corrosion resistance of magnesium alloys. This study detailed the microstructure and corrosion resistance of cerium conversion coatings on AZ31 magnesium plates treated in 0.05 kmolm 3 cerium nitrate solution, with and without 0.25 kmolm 3 hydrogen peroxide. The results indicate that the cor...

The 17-4PH alloy is a martensitic stainless steel with 3–5 wt% Cu, strengthened by the precipitation hardening. Due to excellent mechanical properties, corrosion resistance and ease of heat treatment, this alloy has unique applications in nuclear power plants and marine constructions. In this paper, the influence of ageing heat treatment, solution annealing followed by ageing at 480, 550 and 62...

abstract this work investigated the electrochemical and aqueous tribological behavior of hot pressed 2205 duplex stainless steel (dss). dss sintered composites of different volume percent (% vol) of partially stabilized zirconia (psz) was developed using powder metallurgy (pm) technique. electrochemical behaviour was studied at room temperature, using open circuit potential and potentiodynamic ...

Deterministic forecast of corrosion damage progression in a reinforced concrete column was implemented in a one-dimensional model accounting for potential dependence of corrosion threshold, and macrocell coupling during the initiation and propagation stages. The damage projection was clearly sensitive to the choice of the activation zone size. The relative sensitivity became greater as the zone...

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...
