Corrosion behavior of PEO-treated AZ31 Mg alloy in chloride solution

Corrosion behavior and resistance of plasma electrolyte oxidation (PEO)-treated AZ31 Mg alloy were investigated by immersion and potentiodynamic polarization tests in 0.5 M NaCl solution in view of the PEO film thickness and sealing treatment of the PEO films in boiling water. The PEO films were formed using pulse current for various durations in 1 M NaOH?+?0.5 M NaF solution. Filiform corrosion was observed during the immersion test while pitting corrosion occurred during the potentiodynamic polarization test, irrespective of sealing treatment of the PEO films. Corrosion resistance of AZ31 Mg alloy was improved remarkably by the formation of thicker PEO films and their sealing treatments.     

Corrosion behavior of AZ91D magnesium alloy in distilled water

The corrosion of AZ91D magnesium alloy has received extensive attention due to the continuous expansion of its application field in recent years. However, the corrosion of AZ91D magnesium alloy in distilled water is relatively few. In this paper, the corrosion behavior of AZ91D magnesium alloy was studied in distilled water by electrochemical tests in combination with weight loss and surface analysis methods. The results indicated that the corrosion rate of AZ91D magnesium alloy increased with the increase of temperature and immersion time. The increase of the corrosion rate of AZ91D magnesium alloy with the increase of immersion time might be attributed to the damage of the structure of corrosion product film by hydrogen evolution, significantly accelerating the anodic process of AZ91D magnesium alloy. It was interesting that, in distilled water, the EIS of AZ91D magnesium alloy excluded an inductive arc in the low frequency region, which indicated that there was no the adsorption and desorption of aggressive ions or the damage and repair of film. The corrosion product film of AZ91D magnesium alloy in distilled water was composed of a compact inner corrosion product film and a loose outer corrosion product film.     

Corrosion inhibition of magnesium alloy AZ31 in chloride-containing solutions by aqueous permanganate

In this work, corrosion of the AZ31 magnesium alloy was examined in 0.05 M NaCl solutions containing 0.01–0.150 mol/dm³ of potassium permanganate as a corrosion inhibitor. A set of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, linear sweep voltammetry, and hydrogen evolution measurements revealed high inhibitor effectiveness at relatively high (0.150 mol/dm³) KMnO₄ concentrations. Based on data of energy-dispersive X-ray analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and Raman spectroscopy, a mechanism of the corrosion inhibition of AZ31 alloy by potassium permanganate in chloride-containing media was proposed.

     

Critical behavior of dilute NaCl in H2O

The compositions of the saturated vapor and liquid phases are measured for the system NaCl-H₂O at 380°C, which is close to the critical point of pure water. The shape of the phase equilibrium curve is classical, which confirms a conclusion reached earlier on the basis of less accurate data. This implies that the long-range forces introduced by the NaCl suppress the non-classical effects present in pure H₂O. An empirical equation of a classical type fits these data.     

铈对AZ91镁合金腐蚀性能的影响

利用静态失重法、极化曲线和金相观察研究了Ce对AZ91镁合金在3.5%NaCl（质量分数）水溶液中的腐蚀行为.结果表明,加入少量的Ce（0.2%～0.8%,质量分数）显著降低合金的腐蚀速率,提高合金的平衡电位和腐蚀电位,降低腐蚀电流密度.而且含0.8?的合金具有较好的耐腐蚀性能.腐蚀性能提高的原因主要归结为： Ce加入导致α-Mg晶粒明显细化,Al元素的偏析减轻,块状的β-Mg17Al12相变为非连续网状分布.

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.

覆有微弧氧化涂层的AZ91D镁合金在氯化钠溶液中的极化行为

由于结构和成分的影响,覆有微弧氧化涂层的AZ91D镁合金的极化曲线有多种不同的表现形式.事实上,覆有微弧氧化涂层的AZ91D镁合金在NaCl溶液中的极化曲线行为不仅与涂层的主要组成和微观结构有关,也与极化曲线测试条件,如氯离子浓度、溶液pH值、阴极极化程度和样品的暴露面积有关,由于微弧氧化涂层的不稳定性,这些因素通过改变氧化涂层的组成和微观结构,继而影响极化曲线的形状.本文用傅里叶变换显微红外成像和对应的光学照片研究了氧化涂层的成分和结构的变化.结合物理表征,我们提出一个模型,用以阐明微弧氧化涂层组成和结构在NaCl溶液中的变化.对于浸泡在NaCl溶液中的AZ91D微弧氧化涂层,阳极溶解和阴极还原反应的速控步骤分别是传质过程和电荷转移过程.所以从极化曲线上拟合出来的腐蚀电流密度不能准确反映腐蚀速率,而且误差也难以避免.     

Determining the distribution of Pu, Np, and U oxidation states in dilute NaCl and synthetic brine solutions

The effect of iron powder (Fe⁰) on the reduction of Pu(VI),Np(V), and U(VI) was investigated in dilute NaCl and synthetic brines. Thetotal concentrations and oxidation states of the actinides in these solutionswere monitored as functions of pC H +, Eh, and time using techniques includingVis/Near IR absorption spectrophotometry, solvent extraction, activity counting,and inductively coupled plasma spectroscopy-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Whenconcentrations were too low and the oxidation states could not be directlydetermined by spectrophotometry or solvent extraction, comparing the measuredconcentrations with the solubility of reference systems helped to define thefinal oxidation states. In general, the reduction was more rapid, and couldproceed further, in the dilute NaCl solution than in the brine solutions.The experimental observations can be summarized as follows: (1) in the diluteNaCl solutions (pC H + 7 to 12), all three actinides, Pu(VI), Np(V) and U(VI),were reduced to lower oxidation states (most likely the tetravalent state)within a few days to a few months in the presence of Fe⁰; (2) insynthetic brines containing Fe⁰ (pC H + 8 to 13), the reductionof Pu(VI) was much slower than in the dilute NaCl solution. The dominant oxidationstate of Pu in the brine solution was Pu(V), the concentration of which wascontrolled by the electrochemical potential and could probably be representedby a heterogeneous redox reaction PuO₂ . xH₂O(s) PuO₂ + +e ^—; (3) in synthetic brines containing Fe⁰ (pC H + 8 to 13), Np(V) was probably reduced to Np(IV) and precipitatedfrom the solution; (4) in synthetic brines containing Fe⁰ (pC H+ 8 to 13), no significant reduction of U(VI) was observed within 55 days.     

AZ91镁合金表面稀土转化膜的制备及耐蚀性能研究

采用在镁合金表面形成无毒、无污染的稀土铈转化膜的方法解决AZ91镁合金表面的腐蚀问题。确定了最佳成膜工艺参数，讨论了处理液的浓度、成膜温度和成膜时间等因素对转化膜耐蚀性的影响。利用湿热实验、阳极极化曲线的测定等实验方法评价了转化膜对镁合金表面的防护作用。结果表明，在潮湿温热条件下稀土铈转化膜试样仍能保持膜层的完整性并具有较高的覆盖度，腐蚀现象不明显。腐蚀电势升高，出现钝化现象，腐蚀电流密度下降，稀土铈转化膜可以提高AZ91镁合金的耐蚀性能。用扫描电镜观察了膜的微观形貌，稀土铈转化膜是由基膜和附着的细小颗粒组成，最佳工艺形成的铈转化膜无破碎现象，对AZ91镁合金表面的腐蚀过程的发生有明显的抑制作用。     

添加氧化铈对AZ91D镁合金表面富镁涂层的保护作用

通过Machu测试、电化学交流阻抗(EIS)和扫描电子显微镜(SEM)等方法研究了添加氧化铈对AZ91D镁合金表面富镁涂层防护性能的影响.氧化铈添加量较少(0.1%,w)时,对涂层耐蚀性无影响;添加量过多(3%)时,涂层耐蚀性降低;添加氧化铈颗粒为0.5%时,涂层的阻抗增大,涂层电容降低,对AZ91D镁合金基体的保护性能明显提高.尽管添加氧化铈不改变富镁涂层对AZ91D镁合金的保护机制,但可显著延长涂层的服役寿命.氧化铈能够降低纯镁颗粒的电化学反应活性,使镁粉腐蚀速率降低,阴极保护时间延长.添加一定量氧化铈后,也有利于涂层屏蔽性能提高,氧化铈能降低AZ91D镁合金表面阳极腐蚀电流密度,提高镁合金腐蚀电位,从而有利于富镁涂层发挥对镁合金基体的阴极保护作用.     

(NaPO3)6对AZ91D镁合金微弧氧化陶瓷层电化学腐蚀特性的影响

在Na2SiO3-KOH电解液体系中添加一定量的(NaPO3)6, 利用微弧氧化(MAO)技术在AZ91D 镁合金表面制备了原位生长的陶瓷层. 采用动电位极化和电化学阻抗谱(EIS)技术研究了添加(NaPO3)6前后, 制备的陶瓷层在3.5%(w) NaCl溶液中的室温电化学行为. 结果表明, 添加(NaPO3)6后, 陶瓷层的自腐蚀电位显著上升, 自腐蚀电流密度明显减小. 这主要是由于(NaPO3)6增加了反应过程中基体镁合金表面的“氧空位”和溶液中PO3-4的含量, 促使元素Mg在金属/膜层(M/F)界面上快速形成相应氧化物, 从而增加了陶瓷层的厚度和致密性. 根据电化学反应体系和陶瓷层的特殊结构, 建立了合理的等效电路, 并结合EIS 数据, 分析了添加(NaPO3)6提高陶瓷层耐电化学腐蚀性能的机理.

Electrochemical behavior of polypyrrole-coated AZ31 alloy modified by fluoride anions

The electrochemical polymerization of polypyrrole (Ppy) films on AZ31Mg alloys was carried out using cyclic voltammetery in 0.5 M sodium salicylate solution containing 0.25 M pyrrole and different concentration of sodium fluoride (NaF). Corrosion performance of the Ppy film was assessed by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potentiodynamic polarization tests in 3.5 % NaCl solution. It was observed that Ppy coatings doped in the presence of 100 ppm NaF provide the best corrosion protection for magnesium and the corrosion potential shifted about 290 mV toward nobler potentials and decrease the corrosion current density about one order of magnitude. The surface analysis of the coatings showed that the addition of F^? dopant anions led to an improvement in the smoothness, thickness, and adhesion quality of the synthesized Ppy coating on the Mg surface. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) studies of the fluoride-doped Ppy films revealed that the synthesized coating has a closely packed globular structure which was composed of nanoparticles of Ppy.
