Corrosion has become a frequent and significant issue in the electronics industry. For this reason, galvanic corrosion of soldered joints, i.e. when solder alloys are in contact with a metallic substrate, is so important. The present study aims to investigate the corrosion behaviour of the Bi-2.7wt-%Zn solder alloy when in contact with Cu and Ni substrates in a 0.06M NaCl solution. Polarisation curves

Literature data on the influence of concrete cracks on corrosion propagation of reinforcing steel are contradictory. This might be due to very different exposure and test conditions but also to a lack of time-resolved data in cyclic wetting–drying exposure. Here, the influence of the environmental conditions on the corrosion rates in cracked concrete is studied experimentally. The results show that

Under-deposit corrosion (UDC) is one of the main factors leading to perforation or leakage of gathering pipeline in the oilfield. In this paper, galvanic corrosion of mild steel under CaCO3 deposit was investigated by using wire beam electrodes (WBE) in the oilfield-produced water. Potential and galvanic mappings indicated that the wire electrodes covered by CaCO3 deposit mainly acted as anode while

During one month of MIC experiment, the microbial consortium corroded carbon steel with sulphate reduction, methane and acetate production. The bacterial

The central concept of microbiologically influenced corrosion is ‘biofilm’. However, it is neither a 100% biological fabric nor a film. While biofilms though mechanisms such as establishment of differential aeration cells can accelerate corrosion, under certain circumstances such as thickening may also decelerate corrosion. In this article, these mechanisms will be discussed. Along with that, this

No intentional defects such as scribes were imparted to investigate the attack associated with intrinsic defects in the

The effect of thiosulphate/H2S on crevice corrosion behaviour of P110 carbon steel in the CO2-saturated 3.5 wt% NaCl solution was investigated. The results showed that crevice corrosion of P110 steel could not occur in the CO2-saturated solution, likely due to the inhibition of both anodic and cathodic reactions inside crevice. Further, the structure of corrosion product film along the crevice wall

Corrosion was correlated with fluid-structure based on a comparative investigation of the corroded surface morphology of mild steel and the microscopic feature of oil–water mixture. It was found that the corrosion rate increased with increasing water cut and flow rate, while the corrosion morphology closely relied on the mixing state of oil and water.

Glassy polymer coatings on metal substrates rely on their mechanical, physical, and transport properties for corrosion protection. These properties are influenced by free volume between polymer chains that plays a critical role in coating performance. Free volume permits local segmental mobility that affects mechanical properties, such as yield and adhesion, and also permits diffusion of small molecules

We have studied here the wet/dry cyclic corrosion behaviour of V-N-0.8Cr weathering steel and compared with a reference steel (Q345B) in 0.01 mol/L NaHSO3 simulated industrial atmosphere. The study indicated that the coherent protective oxide layer formed in the surface of V-N-0.8Cr microalloyed weathering steel, contained corrosion resistant alloying elements (Cr, Ni, Cu, P, Mo). The addition of Cr

Existing models for predicting the time to the commencement of serious reinforcement corrosion in chloride conditions provide results that do not compare well with long-term observations and practical experience for actual concrete structures. Many high-quality concrete structures show little or no evidence of serious corrosion, even after decades of exposure to chloride conditions. Earlier it was
