The intermetallic on the surfaces makes this alloy susceptible to both local corrosion and microbial colonization. The adhesion of bacteria on the surface could deteriorate the metallic substrate in a phenomenon known as microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC). The triggering mechanism of MIC in 2024-T3 is unclear. An electrochemical study was conducted to determine the influence of the second phase (Al2Cu) on the corrosion of the 2024-T3 aluminium alloy exposed to bacteria. The 2024-T3 alloy was thermally treated to increase the amount of Al2Cu by nearly 67 % on the surface. The bacterium under study was collected from the corrosion products of a Chilean Air Force aircraft. The isolated bacterium was identified by 16S RNA sequencing as Bacillus mojavensis (99.99 %). Results obtained by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy showed a decreased impedance of 2024-T3 and an increased impedance of heat-treated, both samples exposed to bacteria. The increased impedance could be associated with the antibacterial effect due to the high ion release of copper on the surface, which can inhibit biofilm formation and biocorrosion.","PeriodicalId":14819,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Electrochemical Science and Engineering","volume":"423 2‐3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140246950","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Erosion wear tests were carried out at room temperature according to the ASTM G76-18 procedure. The surface of the tested material was exposed to a jet of alumina erodent particles at impact angles of 30 and 90°, respectively. Scanning electron microscopy images were utilized to examine the morphologies of the eroded surface and the microstructure of cladding. The erosive performance of YSZ - IN625 composite cladding was 3.5 and 2.4 times compared to the substrate at different impact angles. Improved microhardness and fracture toughness resulting from the favourable interaction between the hard ceramic YSZ particles and the IN625 matrix led to the enhanced erosion performance of composite cladding. Micro-cutting and ploughing were the predominant wear mechanisms in the substrate during the solid particle erosion test at a 30° impact angle, whereas the indentation-induced plastic deformation was dominant at a 90° impact angle. The results also revealed that the micro-cutting, detached splats and fissures were responsible for the wear in composite cladding at 30 and 90° impact angles.","PeriodicalId":14819,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Electrochemical Science and Engineering","volume":"141 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140265406","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The samples were fabricated with varying levels of compaction pressure and other process parameters were kept unchanged in order to investigate the variation in electrochemical behaviour. It was observed that a lower level of compaction pressure resulted in an increase in corrosion current density and rate and a decrease in polarisation resistance. The sample's inability to achieve passivity against electrochemical corrosion, when fabricated using a lower level of compaction pressure, was linked to a higher number of interconnecting micropores. The results of the microstructure analysis confirmed the significant densification of the powder particles when higher compaction pressure was used. The study recommends that a compaction pressure of 300 MPa or higher may be used for fabricating porous structures for biomedical applications.","PeriodicalId":14819,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Electrochemical Science and Engineering","volume":"98 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140445415","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The inhibition efficiency of BHCTA was examined using electrochemical, chemical and theoretical tools. The gained outcomes indicated a supreme inhibition efficiency of BHCTA which exceeded 95 % upon addition of 1.00 mM of BHCTA. Such supreme efficiency was discussed on the basis of decisive adsorption of BHCTA molecules on the copper substrate that hinders concurrently the anodic oxidation and cathodic reduction reactions progressions. The adsorption of BHCTA on the copper surface was discovered to obey Langmuir isotherm. The resulting value of DGads0 = −35.7 kJ mol−1 indicates that BHCTA molecules adsorb on the copper surface through a spontaneous mix of physisorption and chemisorption processes. A scanning electron microscope was used to examine the effect of BHCTA adsorption on the morphology of the copper surface. Theoretical calculations showed that BHCTA has good adsorption properties on Cu substrate. There is a good consistency between the applied experimental and theoretical tools, confirming the validity of the gained outcomes.","PeriodicalId":14819,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Electrochemical Science and Engineering","volume":"54 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140451940","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

PEMFC models are often multivariate with several nonlinear elements. Metaheuristic algorithms that are successful in solving nonlinear optimization problems are good candidates for this purpose. This study proposes a new metaheuristic algorithm called MFORS that uses the advantages of the moth-flame optimization algorithm in global search and the non-deterministic properties of the random search algorithm to identify the optimal parameters of the PEMFC model. The sum of squared errors between the estimated and measured voltage is a quality of fit criterion. To show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, two case studies of zero-dimensional models of SR-12 Modular PEM Generator and Ballard Mark V fuel cell are considered. The sum of squared errors for the parameter estimated of electrical PEMFCs by the proposed MFORS algorithm is compared with recent works. The results showed that by the MFORS algorithm, the minimum sum of absolute errors of the actual stack voltage and the simulated stack voltage in the two PEMFC are 0.095037 and 0.018019, compared with the second-best algorithm results giving 0.09681 and 0.8092, respectively.","PeriodicalId":14819,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Electrochemical Science and Engineering","volume":"47 51","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139961257","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
