Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is a suitable and powerful diagnostic testing method for fuel cells (FCs) since it is non-destructive and provides useful information about FC performance and its components. In this study, for the first time, a 500W cascade type 4 cells stack with integrated humidifier, water separator and internal manifolds was designed, fabricated and tested. The ...

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...

in this paper, the electrochemical behaviour of passive films formed on aisi 321 stainless steel (aisi 321)immersed in 0.1 m naoh + 0.1 m koh solution was evaluated by different electrochemical techniques. forthis purpose, passive films were formed at open circuit potential for 1 to 12 hours and then electrochemicalmeasurements were done. the polarization curves suggested that aisi 321 showed e...

For an efficient prediction of residual stresses in a material or a machine part the nondestructive method based on the magnetic Barkhausen noise is, among others, employed in practice. An experimental system developed at home and including measuring and assessment units has proved to be very efficient in various applications of surface hardening or cold hardening, and heat treatment. The prese...

this paper focused on the characterization of electrochemical behavior of a martensitic stainless steel inthe acidic solutions. for this purpose, electrochemical parameters were derived from potentiodynamicpolarization, mott schottky analysis and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (eis) techniques.the potentiodynamic polarization results showed that corrosion current density of aisi 420 sta...

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...
