Atmospheric Corrosion Investigation in Industrial, Marine and Rural Environments in South-East Brazil
2002
ASTM 283-C, AISI 304 and 316-L steel specimens (called coupons) were exposed in marine, industrial and rural area(s) for different periods ranging between 1–12 months, in four different season campaigns. The corrosion rate was determined by chemical loss measurements. Rust characterization was performed by XRD, SEM, optical, and Mossbauer spectroscopy (in transmission and backscattering geometry). Superparamagnetic maghemite and goethite were found as corrosion products. Magnetic goethite and feroxyhite decrease with time of exposure. Lepidochrosite is detected and its intensity increase with the atmospheric exposure time. The results obtained from XRD and Mossbauer are in good agreement.
Predictive Model for Cut-Edge Corrosion of Galvanized Steels
2006
A numerical model for the electrochemical behavior of cut-edge of galvanized steels is proposed. Some experimental data of current densities above cut-edge immersed in a 0.03M NaCl solution have been measured, using a scanning vibrating electrode technique, and compared with some simulated ones. A good fit has been obtained. The model geometry has been modified by decreasing the electrolyte thickness in order to tend towards an atmospheric corrosion case; such situation that is not easily accessible by electrochemical studies. Three regions can be distinguished according to the efficiency of the galvanic coupling to protect steel.
Corrosion behaviour of sintered Nd(Fe,Al)B magnets
1997
Abstract The effect of 1–6 at% Al additions to a sintered NdFeB magnet on its corrosion behaviour was tested. The additions do not influence the magnet's corrosion behaviour in the active state and cause beneficial effects in the passive state. The Al additions inhibit atmospheric corrosion of the magnets.
Corrosion resistance of the FeAlC permanent magnet alloy
1998
Abstract The correlation between corrosion behaviour rate of hard magnetic FeAlC alloys and their microstructure and phase composition is presented. Potentiokinetic polarization curves of the tested material in acid (pH = 1 and 2) and neutral (pH = 7) sulphate solutions have been measured. For open-circuit condition, kinetic curves of etching of the samples in 0.5 M H2SO4 have been determined. The resistance of the tested magnets against atmospheric corrosion has been evaluated using a salt-spray test. The atmospheric corrosion rate is 1.5–2 times slower than that found for Nd-Fe-B type magnets. The FeAlC alloys show good corrosion resistance in neutral environments and corrode at rates…
