The electrochemical and corrosion behaviour of Al-6061, Al-4.5%Cu and Al-7.5%Cu alloys were studied in 0.50 M KSCN solution at 25 C. Open-circuit potential, Tafel polarization and ICP-AES measurements were used to study the uniform corrosion process on the surfaces of the tested alloys. Cyclic polarization measurements were employed for pitting corrosion studies. Obtained results were compared ...

aisi 304l austenitic stainless steel with different grain sizes of 0.5 -12 μm was obtained through the martensiticprocess. corrosion behavior of different samples was investigated in a 0.5m hcl solution using open circuitpotential, potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy tests. also, the correlationbetween the grain size and pitting corrosion resistance was asses...

Austenitic stainless steel sheets have gained wide acceptance in the fabrication of components, which require high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance such as metal bellows used in expansion joints in aircraft, aerospace and petroleum industries. In the case of single pass welding of thinner sections of this alloy, Pulsed Current Micro Plasma Arc Welding (PCMPAW) has been found bene...

Inclusion-induced pitting initiation mechanisms in X70 steel were investigated by scanning electron microscopy, scanning Kelvin probe force microscopy (SKPFM), immersion and electrochemical polarization tests in chloride-containing ion solutions. There are three inclusion types in the X70 steel. Corrosion test results indicated that pitting corrosion resistance of type A inclusion < type C incl...

the aisi 316 l stainless steel (ss) specimens were exposed to passivation surface through two different processes including; holding in 40-vol% hno3 at temperature of 60 ºc for 30 min and 15-vol%h2so4 at ambient temperature for 1 hour. the corrosion behavior of specimens was evaluated in physiological solutions by electrochemical in vitro tests through linear and tafel polarization tests. cycli...

In this study, the pitting behaviour of a new corrosion-resistant alloy steel (CR) is compared to that of low-carbon steel (LC) in a simulated concrete pore solution with a chloride concentration of 5 mol/L. The electrochemical behaviour of the bars was characterised using linear polarisation resistance (LPR) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The pitting profiles were detected b...

Original scientific paper The paper deals with the effect of roughness, residual stresses and pitting corrosion on different shot peened (SP) ENAW 7075 aluminium alloy in different states. Suitable residual stress profile increases the applicability and life cycle of mechanical parts, treated by shot peening. Pitting corrosion has a major influence on aging of structural elements made of high s...

In this work, we performed comparative studies of the effect of surface preparation of Ti6Al4V and Ti6Al7Nb biomedical alloys and the influence of endothelial cells on their corrosion behaviour in PBS (Phosphate Buffered Saline). Two different methods of surface modification were applied - polishing and sandblasting. The polished Ti6Al7Nb alloy was found to have the best resistance against gene...

Purpose: The goal of the study is to try find the influence of the heat treatment on the corrosion resistance of two base cobalt alloys used on dental prosthesis. Design/methodology/approach: The investigation was choosen two base cobalt alloys: Remanium 2000+ (Dentaurum) and Wirobond LFC (Bego). Corrosion resistance test were carried out at room temperature and use of the Potentiostat IPS AJ P...
