The influence of the acid extract of peel of Cucurbita maxima (PCM) on the corrosion of mild steel in 1N H2SO4 was investigated by weight loss, polarization and impedance methods and SEM analysis. The inhibition efficiency increases with extract concentration and immersion period. Weight loss and corrosion rates of mild steel decreased as the concentration of inhibitor increased. The results sh...

In this study, a plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) process was used to form titanium-aluminum oxide coating on aluminized steel. The present work was mainly to study the effects of treatment time of PEO process on properties of the titanium coating. A potentiodynamic polarization corrosion test was employed to investigate the corrosion resistance of the coating. The friction coefficient and w...

An AZ91D ingot in the as-cast condition was homogenized by solution treatment and then aged for various periods of time. The microstructures produced were studied in detail and the b phase volume fraction was measured quantitatively. The Corrosion resistance of all the different microstructures was studied in 3.5% NaCl solution through weight loss measurement in constant immersion conditions an...

Passivation on polycrystalline Zr (hcp) and Ta (bcc) depends on the crystallographic orientation of the individual grains, determined by electron back scattering diffraction (EBSD). Microelectrochemical experiments yield characteristic data, such as oxide formation potentials, formation factors, capacities, and thicknesses, of local oxide formation on single grains. Strong differences occur on ...

The effects of Si addition on the precipitation hardening behaviour and evolution of intergranular corrosion (IGC) of Al-Mg-Si alloys were investigated using hardness tests, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), potentiodynamic polarization measurements, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). With an increase of the Si content, the peak hardness of the Al-Mg-Si alloys consi...

We report a deposition of the tin oxide/hydroxide nanostructured layer by the potentiodynamic method from acidic nitrate solutions directly over the substrate, equipped with multiple strip electrodes which is employed as a gas-analytical multisensor array chip. The electrochemical synthesis is set to favor the growth of the tin oxide/hydroxide phase, while the appearance of metallic Sn is suppr...
