The presented paper studies the effect of the casting technology on the corrosion resistance of Co-Cr-Mo alloy. The investigations were conducted on a commercial alloy with the brand name ARGELOY N.P SPECIAL (Co-Cr-Mo) produced by Argen as well as the same alloy melted and cast by the lost wax casting method performed by a dental technician. The corrosion behavior of the dental alloys in an art...

The influence of increasing the SiO2/K2O molar ratio on the electrochemical action of a waterborne potassium silicate zinc-rich coating was investigated by means of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and corrosion potential (Ecorr) measurements. The EIS results showed that increasing the SiO2/K2O molar ratio in the range of 3.135 to 5 by the addition of nano-SiO2 to the resins improve...

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...

AISI 304L austenitic stainless steel with different grain sizes of 0.5 -12 μm was obtained through the martensitic process. Corrosion behavior of different samples was investigated in a 0.5M HCl solution using open circuit potential, potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy tests. Also, the correlation between the grain size and pitting corrosion resistance was as...

Simultaneous acquisition of in vivo electrophysiological and neurochemical information is essential for understanding how endogenous neurochemicals modulate the dynamics of brain activity. However, up to now such a task has rarely been accomplished due to the major technical challenge of operating two independent recording systems simultaneously in real-time. Here we propose a simpler solution ...

a new anti-corrosion compound, melamine formaldehyde (mf), was formulated by the addition of proper amount of formaldehyde to melamine under specific conditions. this compound was mixed with a novel nano powder, which was extracted from corn cob ash containing sio2 particles, in order to improve its corrosion inhibition efficiency. this inhibitor provides a high level of protection for steel su...

The study comprises evaluation of suitability of passive layer created on the surface of AISI 316L stainless steel for products that are intended to have contact with blood. For that purpose, prior to and after chemical passivation, samples were subject to 7 day exposure in artificial plasma at the temperature of T=37°C. Next, tests of metallic ions infiltration from the surface to the solution...

abstract background: heavy metals in industrial wastewater especially chromium (vi) are considered as the main environmental pollutants. methods: electrochemical cell made of plexiglass with a volume of 1.95 lit was used. iron and graphite electrodes, electricity conductor, each with dimensions of 0.1×3×10 cm (width×length×height) were designed and built. tests were carried out in various condi...
