Surface tension measurements of those surface-active compounds were used to assess some surface parameters such as critical micelle concentration (cmc), the surface tension at the cmc (γ<sub>cmc</sub>), effectiveness (π<sub>cmc</sub>) and efficiency of adsorption. Results revealed that cmc and γ<sub>cmc</sub> decreased as the number of carbon atoms in a hydrocarbon chain increased from 5.62 × 10<sup>–3</sup> to 1.78 × 10<sup>–3</sup> mol/l and from 33.6 to 44.4 mN/m, respectively. Values of ∆<i>G</i><sub>ads</sub> were lower than those of ∆<i>G</i><sub>mic</sub>, which facilitated the adsorption of the molecules of the surfactants on the air–water interface. The prepared surfactants showed good results for antimicrobial activity. Also, the weight loss and the potentiodynamic polarization methods were used to study the effect of the new synthesized surfactants as corrosion inhibitors for aluminum in 1 M of HCl.

The AOF has a bilayer structure (two barrier films: at the interface with the metal and solution). It is described by PDM-III (Point Defect Model). Under certain conditions, it is possible to achieve a steady state in which the film growth rate is compensated by the rate of its chemical dissolution (during a pulsed treatment). In this case, there is a 100% current efficiency in terms of titanium ionization in the oxidation state of four. Under the conditions of the described experiments, i.e., when using direct current, the rate of the AOF electrochemical formation exceeds that of its chemical dissolution, which leads to a decrease in the current efficiency, which does not exceed 75%. Due to the temperature dependence of the electrical resistance of the barrier film at the interface with the solution, which determines its thickness, the current efficiency increases with an increase in the flow rate of the electrolyte. When the thermokinetic instability (TKI) of the AOF is reached (thermal explosion caused by positive feedback: the rate of electrochemical reaction–surface temperature–the rate of electrochemical reaction), the interaction of electrolyte components with the surface free from the film leads to “anomalous” anodic dissolution of the AOF with a current efficiency exceeding 100%. Regardless of the nature of the electrolyte, the TKI conditions are reached at ~1 A/cm<sup>2</sup>. It has been shown that the dissolution rate in nitrate solutions for certain pulsed treatment parameters (relative pulse duration of 2, <i>dc</i> = 50%) (and the displacement of cathode tool in electrochemical machining) may exceed the machining rate with direct current of the same density by more than a factor of two.</p></div></div>","PeriodicalId":49315,"journal":{"name":"Surface Engineering and Applied Electrochemistry","volume":"59 3","pages":"255 - 263"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"4215504","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 results obtained are in line with the hypothesis that the process is mediated by the formation of a semiconducting anodic oxide film with point defects that can exhibit different types of conduction. The film is described within point defect model II, and the rate of its electrochemical formation is balanced under steady-state conditions by the rate of its chemical dissolution, which is why the mass decrease per unit charge reaches a limiting value of 0.16–0.18 mg/C (under the pulsed conditions), which corresponds to a current efficiency close to 100% (assuming the highest oxidation state for alloying components of the steel in solution). In going from pulsed current to direct current conditions, the thermokinetic instability of the film is observed, i.e., it forms and then undergoes breakdown due to thermal explosion.
