Corrosion behavior of magnesium and its alloy in NaCl solution

The electrochemical behavior of cast Mg, AZ91, and cast AZ91 in 0.1 M NaCl solution is investigated by measuring open-circuit potential (OCP), steady-state current-potential, and electrochemical impedance spectra (EIS). The similar electrochemical impedance behavior is found of three corrosion electrodes. There are two capacitances in high-and medium-frequency domains and one inductive loop or component in low-frequency domain. From equivalent circuit simulation, cast AZ91 has the worst corrosion resistance. The EIS results are in good agreement with those obtained by OCP and polarization curves. Based on the Cao theory, a simple corrosion mechanism is put forward, supplying a possible explanation for low-frequency inductive behavior for Mg and its alloy in NaCl solution at OCP.

The interface electrochemical and chemical mechanism of a low alloy steel in a 3.5% NaCl solution containing Ce3+‐based inhibitor

The interface electrochemical and chemical mechanism of the low alloy steel in a 3.5% NaCl solution containing the Ce³⁺‐based inhibitor was investigated by the electrochemical techniques in conjunction with the surface analysis technologies. It was shown that the Ce^3+‐based inhibitor was an anodic inhibitor with more than 90.0% inhibitory efficiency. The net‐shaped inhibiting film with 200 to 500‐nm greyish balls was observed on the specimen surface. During the corrosion reaction occurred on the surface of the low alloy steel, the hydrolysis reaction of P₃O₁₀⁵⁻ and the disproportionation reaction of Ce³⁺ ions simultaneously occurred, too, resulting in the formation of the net‐shaped inhibiting film with nano‐scale greyish ball‐type products, which contained Ce element and had an obvious effect on the electrochemical process of the low alloy steel in a 3.5% NaCl solution containing the Ce³⁺‐based inhibitor. Therefore, the EIS spectra of the low alloy steel in a 3.5% NaCl solution containing the Ce³⁺‐based inhibitor were composed of a capacitive loop at a high‐frequency region and an inductive impedance loop at a low‐frequency region. The charge‐transfer resistance (R_t) increased with the immersion elapsed time, indicating that the inhibition efficiency of the Ce³⁺‐based inhibitor increased with immersion elapsed time. The calculated data based on the fitted electrochemical parameters showed the partial coverage of the inhibitor. This was further revealed by the analysis of electrochemical kinetics that the inductive impedance (L) loop at a low frequency region resulted from the localized absorption of the Ce³⁺‐based inhibitor on the surface of the low alloy steel in a 3.5% NaCl solution. It was also verified by micro‐morphologies.     

Transpassivity characterization of the alloy UNS N08367 in a chloride-containing solution

We investigate the transpassivity of super-austenitic stainless steel UNS N08367 in 2.5 M LiCl solution by using cyclic potentiodynamic polarization (CPP), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The CPP curve exhibits negative hysteresis, which indicates a transpassive dissolution process instead of pitting corrosion. The transition from the passive region to the transpassive region is characterized by EIS and equivalent circuit analysis. During the transpassive dissolution of the N08367 alloy, two reactions of adsorbed intermediates are dominant, as indicated by the two inductive loops at the transpassive region. The first inductive loop is associated with the faster reaction, i.e., the adsorption of Fe intermediates. This fast reaction is significantly influenced by the preferential dissolution of Fe during the transpassive dissolution. The second inductive loop is correlated with the adsorption of the Cr intermediate. In contrast to Fe, the Cr content on the surface increases in the transpassive region compared with the content in the passive region. The XPS spectra support the time and frequency domain approach for the preferential dissolution, and the dominant species resulted from the interfacial processes at the transpassive region.     

Understanding Complex Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy in Corrosion Systems Using in‐situ Synchrotron Radiation Grazing Incidence X‐ray Diffraction

The difficulty in interpreting electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) data has limited the potential of the method despite its utility as an electrochemical method for studies of electrode reactions and interfacial structures. Taking the test case of the carbon dioxide corrosion of carbon steel, in‐situ synchrotron radiation grazing incidence X‐ray diffraction (SR‐GIXRD) has been demonstrated to be a powerful technique for validating and understanding the interfacial structures associated with complex EIS data. Carbon dioxide corrosion was found to occur in several steps, which may only be surmised by EIS, but the use of SR‐GIXRD in conjunction with EIS has enabled the establishment of a link between EIS time constants and structural changes associated with the evolution of corrosion products with time. By comparison to previous studies by the authors and others in this field, this communication provides the first direct experimental evidence linking SR‐GIXRD surface compositional data to otherwise indistinctive EIS time constants.

应用电化学阻抗谱(EIS)研究碳钢在N-甲基二乙醇胺(MDEA)介质中的腐蚀行为.实验表明,未经预阴极活化处理的碳钢表面存在氧化膜,溶解氧促使它腐蚀速率增大,经活化处理去除氧化膜后则相反.在不含热稳定性盐(HSS)的MDEA溶液中,碳钢的腐蚀性随MDEA浓度的增加呈先上升后下降趋势;而在HSS高含量的溶液中,其腐蚀性则随MDEA浓度的增加而单调下降.在含有HSS模拟溶液中,碳钢的阳极极化EIS随极化电位由低到高分别出现感抗、负阻抗以及Warburg阻抗响应等特征,对应于孔蚀、活化状态向钝化状态过渡以及进入钝化的趋势,腐蚀反应的阴极过程表现为电化学反应和扩散传质混合控制,阳极过程为电化学反应控制.

基于电化学噪声研究缓蚀剂对AA6063铝合金点蚀的影响

采用电化学噪声(ECN)、电化学阻抗谱(EIS)和极化曲线研究了AA6063 铝合金在3% (w) NaCl 溶液中的亚稳态点蚀萌发和稳态点蚀生长特征, 着重探讨了CeCl₃、Na₂CrO₄、8-羟基喹啉(8-HQ)等三种不同类型缓蚀剂对亚稳态和稳态点蚀的抑制机理. 结果表明: 当铝合金表面阴极相(Al-Si-Fe)周边的Al 基体发生局部溶解后,会导致邻近区域pH值升高(>8.4), 引起Ce(OH)₃在蚀点中心区的阴极相表面优先沉积, 从而抑制局部腐蚀的阴极去极化过程. 随着缓蚀剂浓度的提高, 亚稳态噪声峰的平均积分电量(q)随之递减, 但噪声峰的平均寿命几乎没有变化, 表明Ce³⁺并不能直接加速亚稳态蚀点的修复, 但可降低蚀点内金属Al 的溶解速率. CrO₄^2-不但可加速蚀点修复, 还可降低亚稳态蚀点的形核速率. 8-HQ主要与Al³⁺、Mg²⁺等形成不溶性螯合物并沉积在铝合金表面,提高了铝基体的全面抗腐蚀能力, 但并不能显著提高其耐点蚀能力.     

Effects of Ti and Zr Substituted on the Electrochemical Characteristics of MgNi-Based Alloy Electrodes

Mg-based hydrogen storage alloys MgNi, Mg0.9Ti0.1Ni, and Mg0.9Ti0.06Zr0.04Ni were successfully prepared by means of mechanical alloying （MA）. The structure and the electrochemical characteristics of these Mg-based materials were studied. The X-ray diffraction （XRD） result shows that the main phases of the alloys exhibit amorphous structure. The scanning electron microscopy （SEM） photograph shows that the particle size of Ti and Zr substituted alloys was about 2-4 μm in diameter. The cycle lives of the alloys were prolonged by adding Ti and Zr. After 50 charge-discharge cycles, the discharge capacity of Mg0.9Ti0.06Zr0.04Ni was 91.74% higher than that of MgNi alloy and 37.96% higher than that of Mg0.9Ti0.1Ni alloy. The main reason for the electrode capacity decay is the formation of Mg（OH）2 （product of Mg corrosion） at the surface of alloy. The potentiodynamic polarization result indicates that Ti and Zr doping improves the anticorrosion in an alkaline solution. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy （EIS） results suggest that proper amount of Ti and Zr doping improves the electrochemical catalytic activity significantly.

Electrochemical behavior of CoCrMo implant in Ringer's solution

CoCrMo has been successfully employed as an orthopedic and orthodontic material because of its excellent corrosion resistant and suitable biocompatibility. The purpose of this research was to investigate the susceptibility of CoCrMo in Ringer's solution at three different temperatures: 22 °C, 37 °C, and 60 °C. The corrosion behavior of CoCrMo was carried out by using common electrochemical methods such as open circuit potential, potentiodynamic measurement, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and Mott–Schottky measurements. CoCrMo was passivated by the air, forming a passive film, which was not destroyed during the immersion in electrolytes under different temperatures. Results from potentiodynamic tests showed that at high anodic potentials, the passive film did not demonstrate significant localized corrosion and rather exhibited overall passive film degradation corresponding to the general corrosion of the alloy in Ringer's solution at the three temperatures. EIS measurements showed the presence of the stable passive film on the alloy surface when tested at open circuit potential. Mott–Schottky test indicated that the preformed passive film is an n‐type semiconductor due to the presence of a donor species. This is implied by the existence of oxygen vacancies and interstitial metallic cations. As the potential increased, the Cr³⁺ oxidized and produced soluble Cr⁴⁺ species. This resulted in the film changing to a p‐type semiconductor owing to the dissolution and creation of cation vacancies (acceptor species). The passive film rupture was not due to p‐type characteristics but rather was a result of the considerable oxidative dissolution of the film at high anodic potential.

Electrochemical Capacitive K+ EMIS Chemical Sensor Based on the Dibromoaza[7]helicene as an Ionophore for Potassium Ions Detection

A K⁺‐sensitive capacitive electrolyte‐membrane‐insulator‐semiconductor (EMIS) based on a novel dibromoaza[7]helicene ionophore has been developed. An ion‐sensitive membrane based on polyvinylchloride (PVC) doped with the ionophore was deposited on the Si₃N₄/SiO₂/Si‐p/Cu‐Al transducer. The properties of the K⁺‐EMIS chemical sensor were investigated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). All the developed devices upon being tested have shown good sensitivity and linearity responses within the range 10^?6 M to 10^?1 M of potassium activity, with good selectivity over a wide variety of other cations (Na⁺, Li⁺, Cu²⁺, Ca²⁺, and Mg²⁺). To our knowledge, this is the first time that a capacitive field‐effect sensor has been fabricated using helicene as a carrier for K⁺‐detection, combined with the structure: Si₃N₄/SiO₂/Si‐p/Cu‐Al as a transducer.     

硫脲对块体纳米晶工业纯铁在盐酸溶液中的缓蚀行为

采用电化学阻抗谱(EIS)研究了硫脲对室温下1 mol•L－1盐酸溶液中粗晶和纳米晶工业纯铁的腐蚀行为的影响.从EIS的拟合结果得知,在1 mol•L－1盐酸溶液中,块体纳米晶工业纯铁比粗晶工业纯铁腐蚀倾向小.基于纳米晶和粗晶工业纯铁在添加有硫脲的1 mol•L－1盐酸溶液中阻抗谱随浸泡时间的变化关系,观察到以下现象,当浸泡时间短至5 min时,对应不同浓度(50、100、150、500 mg•L－1)的缓蚀剂添加量,在粗晶工业纯铁的阻抗复平面图上出现一感抗弧,而在纳米晶工业纯铁的阻抗复平面图是一圆心下偏的容抗弧.随着浸泡时间的延长,两种样品的容抗弧半径增大,在150 mg•L－1的浓度时,电荷传递电阻(Rct)出现极值,这表明硫脲是一种吸附型缓蚀剂.抗盐酸腐蚀性能的提高和没有感抗弧的出现, 归因于体纳米化的结果,这与体纳米化的制备技术密切相关.
