Open circuit potential, linear potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques were employed in aerated artificial saliva (pH = 4.0) at 37°C. Silver alloying additions are found to be effective in enhancing the corrosion resistance of zirconium in artificial saliva environment. In fact, Zr-Ag alloys exhibit higher open circuit potentials, larger breakdown potentials and higher impedance values as compared to cp Zr. This behaviour can be ascribed to the formation of a thicker and more stable passive film with increasing compactness, able to provide better protection against the corrosion attack.展开更多

SEM, EDS, and XRD results of the corrosion scales indir cated that the typical FeCO3 crystallite was found at low HCO3^- concentration but Ca(Fe,Mg)(CO3)2 was found at high HCO3^- con- centration. Ca^2+ and Mg^2+ are precipitated preferential to Fe^2+ at high pH value. Potentiodynamic polarization curves showed that the cathodic current density decreases with the increase of HCO3^- concentration at low HCO3^- concentration. When the HCO3^- concentration reaches 0.126 mol/L, increasing HCO3^- concentration promotes cathodic reactions. Anodic behavior is an active process at low HCO3^- concentration and the anodic current density decreases with the increase of HCO3^- concentration. An evident active-passive behavior is exhibited in anodic process at 0.126 mol/L HCO3^-.展开更多

The results show that NaOH solution is the best one to inhibit the corrosion of Gd in water. After 8880 h immersions in NaOH solution with pH = 10, the surface of the Gd samnle is still silver white. And there are no pitting and weight loss in this process. The same result is in BTA + NaOH solution with pH = 7. After long time immersion, the Gd metal is bright and not corroded. The right inhibitions selection protects Gd from being corroded and ensures that the magnetic refrigerator can work for a long time.展开更多

The results showed that the corrosion current density first increased and then decreased with increasing SSA of the rust during the corrosion process. The structure of the rust changed from single-layer to double-layer, and the γ-FeOOH content decreased in the inner layer of the rust with increasing corrosion time; by contrast, the γ-FeOOH content in the outer layer was constant. When the SSA of the rust was lower than the critical SSA corresponding to the relative humidity during the drying period, condensed water in the micropores of the rust could evaporate, which prompted the diffusion of O_2 into the rust and the following formation process of γ-FeOOH, leading to an increase of corrosion current density with increasing corrosion time. However, when the SSA of the rust reached or exceeded the critical SSA, condensate water in the micro-pores of the inner layer of the rust could not evaporate which inhibited the diffusion of O_2 and decreased the γ-FeOOH content in the inner rust, leading to a decrease of corrosion current density with increasing corrosion time.展开更多

The water contact angle and chemical solution resistance of the epoxy-based coatings were improved with an increase in graphene content from 0 to 0.4%. These results prove that addition of graphene can significantly improve the hydrophobicity and impermeability of epoxy- based coatings. However, when the graphene content was increased to 0.5%, the performance of the epoxy-based coatings decreased because of graphene aggregation. Tafel polarization results show that graphene addition can significantly reduce the corrosion current density and corrosion potential of epoxy-based coatings, which enhance their anti-corrosion performance.展开更多

The corrosion resistance of rust layer on rare earths weathering steel and carbon steel was studied through the electrochemical means of polarization test and electrochemical impedance spectra. The difference of corrosion resistance of testing steels was analyzed through electrochemical means. The 10PCuRE steels whose rare earths content is smaller than 0.016% have good performance of corrosion resistance because corrosion potential of the steel is positive and resistance of rust layer is large. The results showed that rare earths of proper content could diminish corrosion tendency and promote the formation of the steady and compact rust layer.展开更多

文摘The electrochemical corrosion behaviour of three Zr-Ag alloys (Zr-1Ag, Zr-3Ag and Zr-5Ag) was investigated. Open circuit potential, linear potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques were employed in aerated artificial saliva (pH = 4.0) at 37°C. Silver alloying additions are found to be effective in enhancing the corrosion resistance of zirconium in artificial saliva environment. In fact, Zr-Ag alloys exhibit higher open circuit potentials, larger breakdown potentials and higher impedance values as compared to cp Zr. This behaviour can be ascribed to the formation of a thicker and more stable passive film with increasing compactness, able to provide better protection against the corrosion attack.

文摘The relationship between the specific surface area(SSA) of rust and the electrochemical behavior of rusted steel under wet-dry acid corrosion conditions was investigated. The results showed that the corrosion current density first increased and then decreased with increasing SSA of the rust during the corrosion process. The structure of the rust changed from single-layer to double-layer, and the γ-FeOOH content decreased in the inner layer of the rust with increasing corrosion time; by contrast, the γ-FeOOH content in the outer layer was constant. When the SSA of the rust was lower than the critical SSA corresponding to the relative humidity during the drying period, condensed water in the micropores of the rust could evaporate, which prompted the diffusion of O_2 into the rust and the following formation process of γ-FeOOH, leading to an increase of corrosion current density with increasing corrosion time. However, when the SSA of the rust reached or exceeded the critical SSA, condensate water in the micro-pores of the inner layer of the rust could not evaporate which inhibited the diffusion of O_2 and decreased the γ-FeOOH content in the inner rust, leading to a decrease of corrosion current density with increasing corrosion time.

文摘The corrosion mechanism of Zn-Cu-Tialloy added with La in 3% NaOH solution was investigated by electrochemicaltesting and SEM observation.Polarization curves manifested that the overallcorrosion kinetics of alloys are under anodic control.The anodic passivation of the Zn-Cu-Tialloy is remarkably improved by the addition of La.Because La can effectively improve the hydrogen evolution/oxygen reduction over-potentialof alloy elements,and the rare earth oxide film plays an important role in insulation that can strengthen the dielectric properties of Zn-Cu-Tialloy,the corrosion resistance of Zn-Cu-Tialloy is made significantly better by adding a trace amount of La.The improvement of corrosion resistance is not positively correlated with the adding amount of La to alloy.The Zn-Cu-Ti-0.5La alloy displays the best corrosion resistance behavior.The corrosion form of the alloys mainly belongs to a selective corrosion and the main solid corrosion products are Zn(OH)_2 and ZnO.

文摘The electrochemical behaviors of n-type silicon wafers pH value and solid content of the slurry on the corrosion of silicon in silica-based slurry were investigated, and the influences of the wafers were studied by using electrochemical DC polarization and AC impedance techniques. The results revealed that these factors affected the corrosion behaviors of silicon wafers to different degrees and had their suitable parameters that made the maximum corrosion rate of the wafers. The corrosion potential of (100) sttrface was lower than that of(111), whereas the current density of (100) was much higher than that of(111).
文摘The electrochemical behaviour,which is presented by means of anodic polarization curves.of the component phases in Ti and Ti alloys in aqueous solutions of fluorhydrie acid,chhnhydric acid and amber acid has been investigated.The results indicate that the electrochemical behaviour of the allloys depends upon the composition and the lattice type.The corrosion of x and x′phase in actire region and that of β phase in passive region are the dominant corrosion behaviour.
文摘In this work, graphene-modified epoxy-based anti-corrosion coatings were prepared and the influence of graphene on the anti-corrosion performance of the epoxy-based coatings was investigated with water contact angle test ,chemical solution immersion test, and electrochemical test. The water contact angle and chemical solution resistance of the epoxy-based coatings were improved with an increase in graphene content from 0 to 0.4%. These results prove that addition of graphene can significantly improve the hydrophobicity and impermeability of epoxy- based coatings. However, when the graphene content was increased to 0.5%, the performance of the epoxy-based coatings decreased because of graphene aggregation. Tafel polarization results show that graphene addition can significantly reduce the corrosion current density and corrosion potential of epoxy-based coatings, which enhance their anti-corrosion performance.
文摘Corrosion rates of 10PCuRE steels with different rate earth contents and plain carbon steel were studied by dry-wet cycle immersion test. The corrosion resistance of rust layer on rare earths weathering steel and carbon steel was studied through the electrochemical means of polarization test and electrochemical impedance spectra. The difference of corrosion resistance of testing steels was analyzed through electrochemical means. The 10PCuRE steels whose rare earths content is smaller than 0.016% have good performance of corrosion resistance because corrosion potential of the steel is positive and resistance of rust layer is large. The results showed that rare earths of proper content could diminish corrosion tendency and promote the formation of the steady and compact rust layer.

文摘Mineral oxidation leaching in the anode area is the key step in slurry electrolysis.By adopting the slow linear potential scanning method during slurry electrolysis,this study investigated the steady-state polarization curve of a pure stibnite mineral on a graphite anode.In addition,the influence of the mineral particle size,liquid–solid ratio,stirring speed,and temperature on the collision oxidation of the mineral with the anode was studied.Based on the different oxidation reactions,the potential range can be divided into three intervals:the low-potential interval with a potential lower than 0.75 V,an intermediatepotential interval with a potential within 0.75–1.2 V,and a high-potential interval with a potential higher than 1.2 V.The collision oxidation of the mineral with the anode occurred in all three intervals.The oxidation of Sb(III)also appeared in the intermediate-and high-potential intervals,and chlorine evolution occurred in the high-potential interval.Therefore,the low-potential interval was determined to be a suitable potential interval for the slurry electrolysis process.In the low-potential interval,the particle size,liquid–solid ratio,and stirring speed had little effect on the oxidation rate of the minerals.As the temperature increased,the stibnite oxidation rate and exchange current density increased.Overall,the direct collision oxidation rate of stibnite was relatively low and the current densities under all the investigated conditions were lower than 0.4 mA·cm^(-2.This indicates that it is difficult to realize industrial production while relying solely on this process.

文摘The passivation behavior of insoluble anode from 8 kinds of Ti-base alloys in the 40% H_2SO_4(aq)and1 mol/L MnSO_4 -0.75 mol/L H_2SO_4 was studied respectively by analyzing potential-controlling stationarypolarization curve. Results indicate that the passivation curves of Ti-base alloy insoluble anode are analogousto that of pare titanium anodc in spite of the critical passivation current density i_b for the former is somewhathigher and passivation retaining current density i_p increases significantly, the passivation region diminishes.the passivation becomes not so clear. Ou the basis of electrochemical and X-ray diffraction data the passivationmechanism of pure titanium anode in EMD industry is discussed and authors suggest that the Ti- base alloyanode is better than the pure titanium anode.
