采用电化学技术研究了高铬铁素体不锈钢447(以下称447不锈钢)在40~80℃,85%~98%H_2SO_4(质量分数)溶液中的腐蚀电化学行为。结果表明:在80℃,85%~95%H_2SO_4溶液中,447不锈钢呈现出周期性的活化-钝化腐蚀的特性,这种电化学振荡主要是由自钝化态下形成的p型半导体钝化膜的产生和溶解与电化学反应的耦合而导致的;在40~80℃,85%~98%H_2SO_4溶液中,447不锈钢的耐蚀性随温度的升高和H_2SO_4含量的减少而降低;随温度的升高,波动性加强,H_2SO_4质量分数小于98%时,随其含量的升高波动性加强,H_2SO_4质量分数不小于98%时,可使447不锈钢在H_2SO_4溶液中处于稳定的钝态,447不锈钢在自钝化态下的腐蚀主要由电荷转移步骤所控制。     

Effects of W Addition on the Electrochemical Behaviour and Passive Film Properties of Fe-Based Amorphous Alloys in Acetic Acid Solution

The electrochemical behaviour and passive film properties of Fe–Cr–Mo–W–C–B–Y amorphous alloys in acetic acid solution were investigated. The potentiodynamic polarisation and Nyquist curves demonstrated that W addition significantly enhanced the corrosion resistance. Mott–Schottky plots and angle-resolved X-ray photoelectron spectra indicated that passive films with different W contents exhibited dipolar(p–n) semiconducting characteristics separated by flat-band potentials. The outer and inner oxide layers of the passive films were modified by reducing the acceptor and donor densities. Moreover, W addition favoured the formation of a thicker and more stable passive film to inhibit the dissolution of alloy elements.     

An X-ray photo-electron spectroscopic study on the role of molybdenum in increasing the corrosion resistance of ferritic stainless steels in HC1

X-ray photo-electron spectroscopy has been used to investigate the correlation between composition of surface films and the beneficial effects of molybdenum addition to high purity, 30Cr ferritic stainless steels in improving the corrosion resistance properties in HCI. It has been found that the passive films formed consist mainly of hydrated chromium oxy-hydroxide and the composition of the films on 30Cr and 30Cr-2Mo stainless steels is essentially the same, except for the existence of a small amount of hexavalent molybdenum on the latter steel. The surface film formed in the active region contains a large amount of hexavalent molybdenum. The beneficial effects of molybdenum have been interpreted as follows: molybdenum eliminates the active surface sites through the formation of molybdenum oxy-hydroxide or molybdate on these site, on which it is difficult to form the stable passive film. This leads to the appearance of a homogeneous steel surface and to the formation of a homogeneous passive film.     

Effect of Mo and Cu on stress corrosion cracking of ferritic stainless steel in chloride media

Stress corrosion cracking behaviour of ferritic stainless steels with copper and molybdenum additions in 42?wt-% boiling magnesium chloride at 143?±?1°C has been determined. The nature of the corrosion products was analysed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). XPS results show that the presence of Fe(0), Cr(0) and Mo(0) unoxidised states on the crack tips of (copper+molybdenum) addition ferritic stainless steel cannot form the stable passive film and causes the further corrosion in the chloride solution. The addition of both copper and molybdenum to 19% Cr ferritic stainless steel causes stress corrosion cracking. The susceptibility to stress corrosion cracking increases with the growth of ε-copper precipitates, and the fracture mode changes from transgranular to intergranular with the increasing aging time. Stress corrosion cracking initiates from pitting of ε-copper phases, then propagates to molybdenum atoms, and finally propagates to the other ε-copper precipitations perpendicular to the direction of maximum strain.     

The effect of surface modification on the corrosion protection ability of the passive films of sensitized UNS S31803 duplex stainless steel

ABSTRACT

The influence of sensitisation heat treatment, surface roughness and repetitive cyclic voltammetry (RCV) procedure (that was used to create passive films on the surface of sensitised samples) on the corrosion behaviour of UNS S31803 duplex stainless steel was evaluated using sodium hydroxide etching, double-loop electrochemical potentiodynamic reactivation (DLEPR), potentiodynamic polarisation, Mott–Schottky analysis, X-ray diffraction and optical microscopy techniques. The results showed that prolonged sensitisation time leads to the formation of defective passive films on the surface. In addition, as the substrate surface roughness decreases, the defect concentration in the resulting passive film decreases. Moreover, thick passive films that were created at a high number of RCV cycles contain fewer defects than the thin ones. Finally, the specimens with smooth surfaces, thick passive films and low degree of sensitisation exhibit high corrosion resistance due to their intact passive layers formed on their surfaces.     

304不锈钢在NaCl-(NH4)2SO4-NH4Cl溶液中的腐蚀行为

用电化学极化曲线和交流阻抗方法，研究了对304不锈钢（304SS）在3％NaCl和NaCl-（NH4）2SO4-NH4Cl混合溶液中的腐蚀行为．结果表明，在混合溶液中浸泡750h后，304SS仍然保持良好的钝化状态，其平均腐蚀电流密度为0．056mA／cm^2．根据交流阻抗研究结果，不锈钢在3％NaCl溶液中，主要表现出裸金属表面的点蚀和形成一定程度的钝化膜的特征，在2．0g／LNaCl、0．67g／L（NH4）2sSO4、2．3g／LNH4Cl混合溶液中，不锈钢表面形成稳定致密的钝化膜的典型特征．此钝化膜的电阻远小于腐蚀反应极化电阻．即使在形成良好的钝化膜的情况下，不锈钢所表现出的优良的抗腐蚀性能主要是由于金属表面活性点的钝化，而非钝化膜对离子导电或者对反应物／产物的扩散过程的阻隔作用．     

高氮钢和321不锈钢的冲刷腐蚀行为

用喷射式冲刷腐蚀实验研究了高氮奥氏体不锈钢和商用321不锈钢在含砂介质中的冲刷腐蚀行为,并计算了其在冲刷腐蚀条件下的力学和腐蚀交互作用分量。在单相NaCl溶液中静态条件下,高氮钢的耐蚀性能高于321不锈钢,在双相流介质中高氮钢的抗冲刷腐蚀能力亦高于321不锈钢。冲刷腐蚀不但加速了溶液中氧的传质过程,还破坏了不锈钢表面的钝化膜,使不锈钢处于活性溶解状态,以致电化学腐蚀速率增大两个数量级。交互作用中纯力学作用所占的比重最大。

Cerium insertion in 316L passive film: Effect on conductivity and corrosion resistance performances of metallic bipolar plates for PEM fuel cell application

A surface treatment to modify passive film properties formed on 316L stainless steel has been designed for bipolar plate application in PEMFC systems. This one is based on cerium insertion from electrochemical technique. The effect of this element addition on the composition of the passive films was evaluated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and low energy ion spectroscopy (LEIS). Potentiodynamic and potentiostatic curves, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were used for the characterisation of the corrosion protection in simulated PEMFC media. Interfacial contact resistance (ICR) was also evaluated. Results highlight an increase of the polarisation resistance of the cerium treated sample at ambient temperature, and a good corrosion resistance in anodic and cathodic simulated media. An important diminution of the IRC is obtained (80% with respect to the reference), which is attributed to the enhancement of the passive layer conductivity of the processed sample. Surface analyses show a great enrichment of cerium in first atomic layers of the films, which explains the better conductivity observed by an increase of charge carrier density in the passive film.     

Passivity of stainless steel in sulphuric acid under chemical oxidation

The main purpose of the present work was to study the passivity of stainless steel in sulphuric acid under chemical oxidation with H₂O₂ solution. Potentiodynamic polarisation and open circuit potential (OCP) measurements indicated that H₂O₂ facilitates the increase of OCP of stainless steel which shifts from active region into passive region. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results suggested that a passive film, composed of oxyhydroxides, Cr₂O₃, Cr(VI) species, NiO, and sulphate (FeSO₄, Cr₂(SO₄)₃·xH₂O), is achieved after H₂SO₄–H₂O₂ passivation. The passive mechanism under H₂O₂ oxidation was discussed and the corrosion resistance of passive film was compared with that of the passive films produced by HNO₃ passivity and H₂SO₄ potentiostatic passivity. The results of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and anodic polarisation experiments confirmed that the chemical oxidation with H₂O₂ solution is capable of improving the corrosion resistance of stainless steel significantly and the passive film is more stable than those produced by other passivating methods.     

2205和316L不锈钢在氢氟酸中的电化学腐蚀行为

通过动电位极化和电化学阻抗方法考察了2205双相不锈钢和316L不锈钢在5%(体积分数)HF溶液中的电化学行为,借助Mott-Schokkty曲线分析了两种不锈钢表面钝化膜的半导体特性。结果表明：两种不锈钢在氢氟酸溶液中都能发生钝化,且2205双相不锈钢的钝化区间范围更宽,维钝电流密度更低。2205双相不锈钢表面钝化膜表现出更高的钝化膜电阻和电荷转移电阻,其抗氢氟酸腐蚀性能优于316L不锈钢,这主要与2205双相不锈钢中的Mo和Cr含量高、表面钝化膜缺陷少、钝化膜易修复等因素有关。     

Effects of Ce, La and Ba addition on the electrochemical behavior of super duplex stainless steels

The effects of rare earth metal (REM: Ce, La) and Ba addition on aqueous corrosion properties of super duplex stainless steels (SDSS) were investigated by electrochemical tests and surface analyses. The results of potentiodynamic test indicated that the passive range increased by the addition of Ce, La, and Ba, indicating increased relative resistance to localized corrosion. The EIS measurements showed that the Ce-La-Ba-bearing alloys exhibited higher R_ct and R_p values than the Ce-La-Ba-free alloy at the passive and breakdown states. Furthermore, the additions of REMs and Ba together promoted the formation of dense chromium-enriched passive film.     

Influence of Co content on the biocompatibility and bio-corrosion of super ferritic stainless steels

Bio-metals require high corrosion resistance, because their biocompatibility is closely related to this parameter. Bio-metals release metal ions into the human body, leading to deleterious effects. Allergies, dermatitis, and asthma are the predominant systemic effects resulting in the human body. In particular, Ni is one of the most common causes of allergic contact dermatitis. In the present work, we designed new ferritic stainless steels wherein Ni is replaced with Co under consideration of allergic respondes and microstructural stability. This work focuses on the effect of Co content on the biocompatibility and corrosion resistance of high PRE super ferritic stainless steels in bio-solution and acidic chloride solution. In the case of the acidic chloride solution, with increasing Co content in the ferritic stainless steels, passive current density increased and critical pitting temperature (CPT) decreased. Also, in the passive state, AC impedance and repassivation rate were reduced. These results are attributed to the thermodynamic stability of cobalt ions, as indicated in the EpH diagram for a Co-H2O system. However, in the case of bio-solutions, with increasing Co content of the alloys, the passive current density decreased. AC impedance and repassivation rate meanwhile increased in the passive state. This is due to the increased ratios of Cr₂O₃/Cr(OH)₃ and [Metal Oxide]/Metal + Metal Oxide] of the passive film formed in bio-solution.     

Effects of nitric acid passivation on the corrosion behavior of ZG06Cr13Ni4Mo stainless steel in simulated marine atmosphere

ZG06Cr13Ni4Mo martensitic stainless steel was nitric acid-passivated to improve its corrosion performance. The effects of nitric acid passivation on the surface morphology, chemical composition, electrochemical properties, semiconductor behavior, and long-term corrosion performance of the stainless steel were investigated using various analytical techniques. An in-depth analysis of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) showed that the passive film formed after the acid passivation process showed high thickness and a duplex character as it consisted of a hydroxide layer and an oxide layer. The oxide layer affected the corrosion resistance and thickness of the passive film. The thickness of the passive film was calculated theoretically as well as experimentally by fitting the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and XPS results. The electrochemical tests revealed that the dramatic increase in the corrosion resistance of the stainless steel after the passivation was due to the formation of a thick, low-disorder passive film rather than Cr enrichment. The removal of inclusions resulted in higher pitting resistance, whereas the increased roughness showed a negative effect on the corrosion behavior of the stainless steel. During the wet–dry cyclic tests, the modification of the passive film was examined. The passivated stainless steel exhibited good corrosion resistance for up to 50 days of exposure in the simulated environment.     

Electrochemical behaviour of conversion coatings on ferritic stainless steel for solar absorbers

Abstract

The electrochemical behaviour, in neutral solutions, of selective solar absorber coatings prepared from ferritic stainless steel using an original conversion treatment is studied by a polarisation technique. After preparation, these coatings present good resistance to corrosion in a humid environment. After thermal treatment in air at high temperatures, a corrosion peak may appear on the polarisation curve; this phenomenon cannot occur for flat collectors where the working temperature is lower than 250°C. The corrosion peak which appears after heating at high temperatures is observed only during the phase of structural reorganisation of the coating; it disappears after longer treatment times.     

Study on corrosion resistance of palladium films on 316L stainless steel by electroplating and electroless plating

Palladium films with good adhesive strength were deposited on 316L stainless steel by electroless plating and electroplating. Scanning electronic microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, weight loss tests and electrochemical methods were used to study the properties of the films. The electroless plated palladium film mainly consisted of palladium, phosphorus and nitrogen, and the electroplated palladium film was almost pure palladium. XPS analysis indicated that palladium was present in the films as metal state. The palladium plated stainless steel samples prepared by both methods showed excellent corrosion resistance in strong reductive corrosion mediums. In boiling 20% dilute sulfuric acid solution, the corrosion rates of the palladium plated 316L stainless steel samples were four orders of magnitude lower than that of the original 316L stainless steel samples. In the solution with 0.01 M NaCl, the palladium plated samples also showed better corrosion resistance. In comparison, the electroplated samples showed slightly better corrosion resistance than electroless plated samples, which may be attributed to less impurities and thereby higher corrosion potential for the former.

Corrosion performance of selected stainless steels in brine from reverse osmosis desalination plants

Abstract

The corrosion performances of some commercial stainless steel alloys in the brine reject solution from a reverse osmosis sea water desalination plant was studied in terms of their pitting susceptibilities (investigated under aerated conditions at ambient temperature using a cyclic polarisation technique) and crevice corrosion resistances (evaluated in the plant over a 3 month exposure period using multiple crevice test assemblies). The alloys used were four austenitic steels, UNS S31603, UNSS 31703, UNS N08904, UNS S31254, a ferritic steel UNS S44635, and a duplex steel UNS S32550. Cyclic polarisation studies show that the pitting or breakdown potentials for S31603 and S31703 occurred at more active values than for N08904, S31254, S44635, and S32550 alloys, and indicated a reduced resistance to pitting corrosion. The multiple crevice tests show that the alloys S31603, S31703, and N08904 do suffer crevice corrosion in the brine reject solution at ambient temperature, while the S44635 S32550, and S31254 alloys showed considerably higher crevice corrosion resistance.
