Abstract The pitting corrosion susceptibility of 904L stainless steel in aerated LiBr solutions was investigated. influence various experimental variables, including electrolyte concentrations, pH, scan rate, temperatures, and constant potential has been studied using electrochemical measurements, such as cyclic potentiodynamic polarization, potentiostatic techniques, impedance spectroscopy (EI...

The potentiodynamic behaviour of copper in brine solutions was studies. Auger and photo-electron spectroscopy were used together with electrochemical methods. It is demostrated that the passivation observed in potentiodynamic curves is due to a surface film formation on a copper electrode. It is concluded that this film must be copper (I) chloride in nature. Effect of different factors on poten...

This work presents a new method to prepare monodisperse magnetite nanoparticles capping with new cationic surfactants based on rosin. Core/shell type magnetite nanoparticles were synthesized using bis-N-(3-levopimaric maleic acid adduct-2-hydroxy) propyl-triethyl ammonium chloride (LPMQA) as capping agent. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was employed to characterize the nanoparti...

The effect of the Au coated printed circuit board (PCB) as a current collector on performance fuel cells is demonstrated. In this study, optimized pulse electroplating was introduced, which found to be much more effective compared direct (DC) plating for PCB fabrication based passive area from potentiodynamic polarization scan. Variable electrochemical parameters such applied potential and freq...

The inhibitive action of alkali extract human hair extract (Bio waste) against the corrosion of mild steel (98.58%) in solutions of nitric acid has been studied using potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). At inhibitor concentration range (0.004 % v/ v to 0.1% v/v) in 0.3 M HNO3acid, the results showed that these compounds suppressed both cathodic and ano...

Al-Si-Mg-Ni(-Cu) alloys are widely used in the automotive industry. They have the advantage of low weight associated with low coefficient of thermal expansion and excellent mechanical properties – mainly at high temperatures. The corrosion resistance of these alloys in coastal area, particularly sea water, however is not yet known. In this investigation, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (...

the Corrosion inhibition of mild steel in 1 M HCl has been investigated using three dendrimers by means of gravimetric, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), potentiodynamic polarization, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive Xray spectroscopy (EDX) techniques. Results showed that inhibition efficiency increases with increasing concentration of dendrimers. Among the s...

the effect of vanillin on the corrosion behavior of aa6061 al alloy in 3.5% nacl solution wasinvestigated using potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical noise (en) techniques. vanillinoffers interesting possibilities for corrosion inhibition due to its nontoxicity and high solubility inaqueous media. the best inhibition effect at 200 ppm vanillin was a marked characteristic of theinhibi...

in this study, the four cr-mn-(ni-free) austenitic steels were fabricated by vacuum induction furnace. then plates with 10 mm thickness were fabricated by hot-rolling. corrosion behaviour of the four cr-mn steels in 0.1 m h2so4 solution was investigated using by open-circuit potential, potentiodynamic polarization, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (eis). the results indicated that the...

The potentiodynamic polarization test and slow strain rate tensile tests of X80 pipeline steel were performed in 0.5M Na2CO3-1M NaHCO3 solution to study the electrochemical and stress corrosion cracking properties. The results of potentiodynamic polarization test show that there is an obvious stable passive region, about from 0v to 0.8V (SCE), indicating that anodic protection is feasible. The ...
