Corrosion of tin in citric acid solution and the effect of some inorganic anions

The corrosion behaviour of tin in different concentrations of citric acid solutions (0.3–1.0 M, pH=1.8) was studied at 30 °C by potentiodynamic technique. The E/I profiles exhibit an active passive behaviour. The active dissolution involves one anodic peak A associated with a dissolution of the metals as Sn(II) species. The passivity is due to the formation of thin film of SnO₂ and or Sn(OH)₄ on the anode surface. The cathodic sweep shows a small peak C related to the reduction of the passive film. The peak current density I_p of peak A increases with increasing both acid concentration and sweep rate.

The effects of adding increasing concentrations of Na₂CrO₄, NaMoO₄, NaNO₃ and NaNO₂ on the corrosion of tin in 0.5 M citric acid at 30 °C were investigated. Both CrO₄²⁻ and MoO₄²⁻ ions inhibit the corrosion of tin and the extent of inhibition enhances with their concentrations. Addition of either NO₃⁻ or NO₂⁻ accelerates the corrosion of tin. NO₃⁻ ions are more aggressive than NO₂⁻ ions.

The effect of niobium ion implantation on the oxidation behavior of aγ-TiAl-based intermetallic

The effect of niobium implantation (2×10¹⁶ and 10¹⁷ ions/cm²) on the oxidation behavior of a -TiAl-based intermetallic alloy Ti–48Al–2Cr in air at 800°C has been examined. Isothermal studies with exposure times up to 200 hr and cyclic-oxidation tests up to 800 hr revealed a negligible effect for the low implantation dose. However, a remarkable decrease in oxidation rates was observed for the material implanted with 10¹⁷ Nb ions/cm². The improvement in the oxidation resistance appeared to be similar to that obtained by alloying of the intermetallic with a few atomic percent niobium. Possible mechanisms for the effect of niobium on the oxidation resistance of TiAl-base intermetallics are discussed in view of the results obtained for the implanted material.     

Effect of rare earth samarium addition on the kinetics of precipitation in AI-Cu-Mn casting alloy

The mechanical properties of Al-Cu-Mn casting alloy mainly depend on the morphology, distribution, size, and number ofθ′（Al2Cu） precipitates. In this study, we have analyzed the effect of rare earth samarium （Sm） addition on the kinetics of precipitation in the Al-Cu-Mn casting alloy by using differential scanning calorimetry （DSC） and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. Thermal ef-fect peaks that are attributed to the formation and the dissolution of Guinier-Preston （GP） zone andθ′phase were identified from the DSC curves. The activation energy ofθ′formation was calculated by using both the Kissinger method and the analytical model, and the corre-sponding results were compared. Results suggest that the activation energy ofθ′formation in Al-Cu-Mn alloy is dramatically higher than that in Al-Cu-Mn-Sm alloy. Accordingly, it is concluded that the addition of rare earth Sm decreases the activation energy ofθ′formation and promotes the formation ofθ′precipitates.     

Studies concerning the effect of nitrogen on the oxidation behavior of TiAl-based intermetallics at 900°C

The oxidation behavior of the titanium aluminides Ti-50Al and Ti-48Al-5Nb has been investigated in Ar+20%O₂ and in air at 900°C. Thermogravimetric studies in combination with structural analyses using optical metallography, SEM/EDX and X-ray diffraction show a marked influence of nitrogen on the composition and growth rate of the oxide scales. For a more detailed study concerning the effect of nitrogen on the scale-growth kinetics, thermogravimetrical analyses were carried out during which the gas atmosphere was changed from air to Ar–O₂, and vice versa, without intermediate cooling of the specimen. The results show, that nitrogen adversely affects the formation of the initially formed alumina scale and that it enhances the growth rate of the rapidly growing Ti-rich oxide. This effect was observed in both alloys investigated, although the thermogravimetric results at first sight indicated an opposite effect for the Nb-containing alloy. This apparent contradiction is caused by internal oxidation which occurs in this alloy during exposure in Ar–O₂.     

Oxidation Resistance of Ti5Si3 and Ti5Si3Zx at 1000°C (Z = C,N, or O)

The oxidation behavior of Ti₅Si_3+y (y=0 or 0.2) and Ti₅Si₃Z_x (Z=C, N or O, x=0.25 or 0.5) was studied at 1000°C in air or argon–oxygen mixtures for up to 500 h. Ti₅Si₃ has poor oxidation resistance in air because of the formation of an oxide scale rich in rutile and subscale formation of TiN, TiSi, TiSi₂ and Si. In contrast, Ti₅Si_3.2 has excellent oxidation resistance because of the formation of a silica scale. Samples with interstitial oxygen or nitrogen show only slight improvements in the early stages of oxidation, compared to Ti₅Si₃, which is in stark contrast to previous research. However, samples with interstitial carbon displayed excellent oxidation resistance at 1000°C, consistent with previous research.     

Effect of some ternary additions on the sulfidation of Ni-Mo alloys

Five ternary additions, Cr, Ti, Mn, V, and Al were studied at equi-atomicpercent levels (17 a/o) for their effect on the sulfidation behavior of Ni-19a/o Mo (28–30 w/o) over the range of 600–800°C in 0.01 atm S₂. Al was by far the most effective addition. A linear decrease in log k_p vs. Al content was observed up to 7.5w/o Al, beyond which no further change was observed. All alloys followed the parabolic rate law. Arrhenius plots gave activation energies of 36.9–41.2 Kcal/mol for alloys containing Ti, Cr, Mn, and V, whereas the activation energies for Al-containing alloys were 47.2 Kcal/mol, indicating that a different diffusion process was involved. Complex scales were formed on all alloys, consisting of an outer layer of Nis_1+x and complex inner layers which depended upon alloy composition. Two alloys, those with Cr and Mn, formed intermediate layers of Cr₂S₃ and MnS, respectively, but these layers had little effect on the kinetics. MoS₂ was a constituent of the inner scales except for the alloys with Al. A ternary sulfide, Al_0.55Mo₂S₄ and Al₂S₃ were observed. The presence of the mixed sulfide was always associated with the low sulfidation rates. The formation of MoS₂ on alloys results in a different, less-protective behavior than for MoS₂ formed on pure Mo. This effect is due to the intercalation of Ni into MoS₂ in octahedral positions between the weakly bonded layers of covalently bonded sheets of trigonal prisms. The size of Al⁺³ is too small to be intercalated, and thus MoS₂ is destabilized by Al.     

Observations on the oxidation behavior of Ni-Cr alloys containing minor additions of group III,IV, or V elements

The corrosion of a number of experimental ternary Ni-15 wt. % Cr-0.5wt. %X alloys (where X= Y, La, Ce, Sm, Th, U, Zr, or V) has been assessed in pure oxygen at 900° C for periods of exposure up to 450 hr, and compared with the behavior of an Ni-15% Cr control alloy. It has been established that while all of the alloys oxidize in accordance with a protective, approximately parabolic regime, considerable differences in oxidation rates are exhibited. In particular, additions of La, Ce, and Th bring about progressively enhanced rates of oxidation relative to the binary alloy, whereas Y, Sm, V, U, and Zr effect increasingly reduced rates of oxidation in the order given. The rate constant for the Th-bearing alloy is about two orders of magnitude larger than that for the alloy containing Zr. Such differences in behavior seem to be associated with subtle variations in the morphology/composition of the corrosion products from alloy to alloy. The observations are considered in the light of earlier published literature concerning the effects of rare-earth and other reactive elements on the oxidation behavior of Ni/Cr alloys.This work has been carried out with the support of Procurement Executive, Ministry of Defence.
