in this study, the effects of forming method (extrusion) and environmental factors (solution ph and temperature) on the corrosion performance of az91 magnesium alloys were investigated using potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (eis), scanning electron microscopy (sem) and salt spray techniques. the polarization test results of the specimens showed that simple sh...

Corrosion behavior of friction stir processing (FSP) WE43 alloy in a simulated body fluid (SBF) was investigated. Micro-galvanic corrosion was the dominated corrosion behavior, and the corrosion resistance of FSP WE43 alloy was improved compared to the cast counterpart. Furthermore, due to the fine-grained and homogeneous microstructure, uniform corrosion morphology was observed on FSP WE43 all...

The in ̄uence of chloride ion concentration and pH on the corrosion and electrochemical behaviour of die-cast and ingot-cast AZ91D alloy have been studied with a focus on the stability of microconstituents in these environments. The experimental techniques used include immersion studies, potentiodynamic polarization, X-ray di€raction and optical and scanning electron microscopy. The corrosion ra...

Among the various causes of free chlorine consumption in drinking water distribution networks, the internal corrosion of pipes has not been so far seriously considered. This work focused on the corrosion study of cast iron, as a representative material of those networks, in non-chlorinated and chlorinated waters, by both electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and classical photographic observat...

In this work, the results obtained from studying the corrosion of cast iron in freely aerated stagnant Arabian Gulf seawater (AGS) at room temperature were reported. The study was carried out using weight-loss (WL), cyclic potentiodynamic polarization (CPP), open-circuit potential (OCP), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements and complemented by scanning electron microsco...

In Sweden, high level radioactive waste will be disposed of in a canister with a copper outer and a cast iron or carbon steel inner. If the iron insert comes into contact with anoxic geological water, anaerobic corrosion leading to the generation of hydrogen will occur. This paper presents a study of the anaerobic corrosion of carbon steel and cast iron in artificial Swedish granitic groundwate...

In this paper we report on the corrosion inhibition of cast iron in Arabian Gulf seawater by two different ionic liquids namely, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([EMIm]Cl) and 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium chloride ([Py1,4]Cl). The inhibiting influence of the employed ionic liquids was investigated by weight loss, open circuit potential electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and cyclic po...

background: the aim of this study was to evaluate the functional capacity of the liver based on the activity of specific enzymes and bilirubin in serum and also to investigate the influence of mechanical and toxic effects of fasciola hepatica on the structures of the blood vessels and biliary tract in the sheep liver. methods: blood samples and liver of 63 indigenous sheep of pramenka breed, sl...

the ramifications of the portal vein in the liver of horses were studied by using corrosion casting and gross dissection. the portal vein in the horse supplies the hepatic lobes by six major branches. the right lobe is supplied by three main branches, namely the dorsal diaphragmatic, the right caudodorsal and the right intermediate branches. the left branch supplies the left lateral and medial ...
