The results revealed that HEC inhibited corrosion of mild steel and aluminium in sulphuric acid environment. Inhibition efficiency was found to depend on concentration of the inhibitor. Impedance results revealed that HEC was adsorbed on the corroding metal surface while polarization results show that HEC inhibited both anodic and cathodic reactions of mild steel but showed anodic dissolution reaction on aluminium due to destabilization of the passive oxide film on the Al surface and inhibited only cathodic reaction. Inhibition of corrosion reaction in the acidic medium by adsorption on the metal/solution interface follows Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherms. Also, inhibition efficiency increased with rise in temperature. Local reactivity of the HEC molecule was analyzed theoretically using the density functional theory. The theoretical predictions showed good agreement with experimental results.","PeriodicalId":420093,"journal":{"name":"The Open Corrosion Journal","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-02-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126177718","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}

Thereafter they were tested for 50 hours at 1200°C in a thermobalance. These alloys were successfully enriched in chromium, with a maximal content on surface of about 30wt.% and a depth of enrichment of several hundreds of micrometers. This allowed a chromia-forming behavior of the cemented alloys despite the 10wt.%Cr of the bulk. This was especially true for the {C,Ta}-richest alloy the oxidation kinetic of which was wholly parabolic and analogous to a Ni-30Cr alloy known for its good behavior in oxidation at 1200°C. The parabolic constants and chromia-volatilization constants were at the same levels of the Ni-30Cr ones. However, the chromium enrichment step, especially the diffusion heat-treatment following the cementation, causes fragmentation and surface fraction reduction of the tantalum carbides which strengthen the alloy.","PeriodicalId":420093,"journal":{"name":"The Open Corrosion Journal","volume":"62 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114018981","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}

It is demonstrated that PPy coatings inhibit the corrosion of NiTi substrate in chloride solution by shifting the corrosion potential and pitting potential positively and increasing the impedance of corrosion process. The protective performance of PPy coatings for NiTi alloy is in the order: PPy/pTS < PPy/SO4 < PPy/DBS. The protective performance of the doped PPy coatings for NiTi alloy is related to their anions exchange abilities. The worse anion exchange ability PPy coating has, the better protective performance.

Possible relationships are established between the alloy Al content and the native oxide film characteristics. The Al content is very similar in the oxide films on all three studied alloys. XPS identifies a much greater film thickness on AZ80 and AZ91D specimens than on AZ31 and pure Mg specimens, which seems to be related with the presence ofphase (Mg17Al12) on the AZ91D alloy surface and of the eutectic � -Mg/� on the AZ80 alloy surface. Considerable Ca segregation is observed (directly related with the calcium impurities content in the bulk material) towards the outer surface of the metal, where it appears in the form of calcium oxide.
