In this study effect of Stearamide as a corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in hydrochloric acid media was investigated employing various electrochemical techniques include potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and liner polarization resistance (LPR). In view of the fact that Stearamide is an insoluble compound in water, its inhibitive effect was examined by ...

The defect detection capabilities of transient thermography and shearography have been compared using optimum excitation methods for each technique: short pulse heating for thermography and vibration excitation using a piezoelectric transducer for shearography. A signal-to-noise ratio and limit of detection analysis has been performed on defect images obtained by the two techniques using the di...

The main objective of this paper is to study the performance of the various combinations of electrodes which plays an important role in the microbial fuel cells for the generation of electricity. The present work is an experimented investigation concerned with selection of the electrodes for the best performance of a microbial fuel cell. The various combinations of anode/cathode materials like ...

The inhibitive effect of apricot gum AG on mild steel in 0.5 M phosphoric acid solution was investigated by potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy EIS, linear polarization resistance and electrochemical noise EN techniques. The inhibition efficiency increased with increasing AG concentration up to a certain value and decreased with increasing temperature. Polarizat...

The suitability of date-seed/snail shells as a carburizer for enhanced mechanical properties mild-steel using the packed carburization technique was investigated in this work. Standard tensile, impact and hardness test samples prepared from were subjected to pack-carburization process mixtures date-seed snail shell ratio 60:40 respectively at 800, 900, 1 000 °C 3 hours. carburized quenched wate...
