Effect of surface modification of Cu with Ag by ball-milling on the corrosion resistance of low infrared emissivity coating

The corrosion resistance of low infrared emissivity copper/polyurethane (Cu/PU) coating was markedly improved by surface modification of Cu with silver (Ag) using a ball-milling method. For the purpose of clarifying the effect of the surface modification, the phase and morphology of as-prepared products were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the corrosion behavior was investigated with potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectra (EIS). As a result, it was found that Ag was homogeneously distributed in Cu and the encapsulation of oil layer on the surface of Ag–Cu composite powders was formed after ball-milling, therefore, compatibility with organic phase was improved, which often keeps the low infrared emissivity and enhances the anti-corrosion performance of the coating.     

Corrosion studies of modified organosilane coated magnesium–yttrium alloy in different environments

Magnesium (Mg) and its alloys have numerous potential applications as biodegradable implants, but the fast degradation rate of Mg alloys at the initial implanted stage could be a problem. This paper describes the modification of the water-based bis-[triethoxysilyl] ethane (BTSE) silane applied to the surface of magnesium–yttrium (Mg–4Y) to increase its corrosion resistance. Surface characterization by SEM, FTIR, and EDX showed that the hydrolysis and condensation of the silane resulted in a covalent bonding to the Mg–4Y surface. Corrosion behavior of the uncoated and coated Mg–4Y alloy was evaluated in different environments by using a novel self-developed corrosion probe. Based on the electrochemical results of DC polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), we conclude that the epoxy-modified BTSE silane coating successfully increases the corrosion resistance at the initial stage of implantation. The corrosion rates in the flesh of dead mice environments such as body cavity and subcutaneous tissue of the mice were lower than the corrosion rates in in vitro environments.

Correlation of microstructure, electrical properties and electrochemical phenomena in reinforced mortar. Breakdown to multi-phase interface structures. Part II: Pore network, electrical properties and electrochemical response

Since reinforced mortar is a multi-phase composite material at different levels of aggregation, a combination of techniques, namely electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) (for investigating the electrochemical phenomena on the steel reinforcement) and microstructure analysis (for qualifying and quantifying the composite bulk material), was used to provide insight into the macro- and micro-level interactions, involved in conditions of corrosion and cathodic protection for the here investigated reinforced mortar specimens.

After 120days of exposure to the relevant conditions of chloride-induced corrosion and impressed current cathodic protection (CP), it was found that the accumulation, volume expansion and propagation of corrosion products bring about significant structural alterations in the cement matrix. Further, the current flow involved in CP applications, along with the protection itself, contributes to additional changes in the bulk material. In this study, the elements of the equivalent electrical circuit from EIS measurements are discussed in correlation to the evolution of porosity, pore size distribution and pore interconnectivity of the bulk matrix, during corrosion and CP application. The results indicate that different parameters in the EIS modeling concept correspond well to specific interface microstructures.

The outcomes of this combination of techniques will possibly provide implications for computer simulation of the corrosion process and CP applications as well as modeling of concrete performance in aggressive environments.     

Corrosion behavior of friction stir welded AZ31B magnesium alloy with plasma electrolytic oxidation coating formed in silicate electrolyte

A protective ceramic coating of about 50 μm thick on a friction stir welded (FSW) joint of AZ31B magnesium alloy was prepared by plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) in silicate electrolyte. Electrochemical corrosion behavior of uncoated and coated FSW joints was evaluated by potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The equivalent circuits of EIS plots for uncoated and coated FSW magnesium alloy were suggested. The corrosion resistance of FSW magnesium alloy depended on microstructure of the FSW joint. The heat-affected zone with severe grain growth was more susceptible to corrosion than the stir zone and base metal. The PEO coating consisted of a porous outer layer and a dense inner layer. The inner layer of PEO coating played a key role on corrosion protection of the FSW joint of magnesium alloy. Meanwhile, corrosion potential, corrosion current density and impedance at different zones of coated FSW joint were almost the same. The PEO surface treatment significantly improved the corrosion resistance of FSW joints of AZ31B magnesium alloy.

Characterization of highly hydrophobic coatings deposited onto pre-oxidized silicon from water dispersible organosilanes

The formation and quality of highly hydrophobic coatings deposited from water dispersible organosilanes onto pre-oxidized single crystal silicon were studied using atomic force microscopy, ellipsometry, dynamic contact angle measurements and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Highly hydrophobic films of a commercially available water dispersible silane and two different cationic alkoxysilanes were prepared by dip coating. It was found using atomic force microscopy that, in general, the structure of these highly hydrophobic films is a continuous film with some particulates attributed to bulk polymerization of the precursor molecule in water. Film defects were quantified using EIS by the value of charge transfer resistance at the hydrofluoric acid/silicon interface. Potential applications of this type of coatings include reduction/elimination of stiction in micro-electromechanical systems, contact printing in materials microfabrication, inhibition of corrosion and oxidation, prevention of water wetting, lubrication and protein adsorption.

The corrosion resistance was evaluated by potentiodynamic polarization curve and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS).The results revealed that the morphology of neodymium conversion coating is of crack-mud structure. Tiny cracks distribute in the compact coating deposited by neodymium oxides. EDS results characterize that the coating is made of neodymium oxides. The potentiodynamic polarization curve, EIS and OCP indicate that the neodymium conversion coating can improve the corrosion resistance of magnesium alloys.
