Towards a deeper understanding of the inhibition mechanism of a new 1,2,3-triazole derivative for mild steel corrosion in the hydrochloric acid solut…

2020

Abstract The corrosion inhibition effect of a new synthesized heterocycle 1,2,3-triazole, namely(1-p-tolyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl) methanol (TTM) was studied in 1 M hydrochloric acid solution by using both experimental and theoretical techniques. The inhibitory action of the TTM was investigated by potentiodynamic polarization (PDP) at various temperatures (298–333 K). PDP experiments revealed that the TTM behaved as mixed type inhibitor by decreasing both anodic and cathodic corrosion densities. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements confirmed that the studied inhibitor can suppress mild steel corrosion effectively in acidic solution with an inhibition efficiency of 90% a…

Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy Study of the Behaviour of Lanthanide-Rich Films Formed on Aluminium-Magnesium Alloys

1998

The film covering formed on AA5083 aluminium-magnesium alloy by immersion treatments in solutions containing CeCl 3 has been characterized by means of electrochemical techniques. The measurement of linear polarization has enabled to establish that the treatments applied provide efficient protection against both uniform and pitting corrosion of alloy AA5083, used in shipbuilding, in solutions of NaCl. This study has been focused on the use of Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy as a characterization technique for these film coverings.

Characterization and thermomechanical assessment of a SiC-sandwich material for Flow Channel Inserts in DCLL blankets

2019

Abstract Flow Channel Inserts (FCIs) are key elements in the high-temperature Dual Coolant Lead Lithium (DCLL) blanket, since they insulate electrically the flowing PbLi to avoid MHD effects and protect the steel structure from the hot liquid metal. SiC-based materials are main candidates for high-temperature FCIs, being a dense-porous SiC-based sandwich material an attractive option. The present work is focused on the development of such a SiC-based material. On the one hand, in order to assess the suitability of the concept for FCIs, the main results of a stress analysis, MHD and heat transfer simulations are summarized. On the other hand, the experimental production of the SiC-based mate…

Online Visualization of Corrosion Processes of Zinc and a Cu/Zn Galvanic Pair in Lithium Bromide Solutions

2003

Abstract A new method has been developed for online visualization of corrosion processes. The system allows surface images of the tested electrode to be captured simultaneously with the recorded electrochemical signal caused by corrosion processes without disturbing the electrochemical system. The experimental device consists of an electrochemical system with a horizontal electrochemical cell coupled to optical equipment. The horizontal position of the electrodes tested permitted the direct observation of surface modifications with time and of the experimental conditions by means of a triocular microscope stereoscope assembled to an image acquisition system. The new methodology was applied …

Bioactivity Performance of Pure Mg after Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation in Silicate-Based Solutions

2021

The biodegradable metals, including magnesium (Mg), are a convenient alternative to permanent metals but fast uncontrolled corrosion limited wide clinical application. Formation of a barrier coating on Mg alloys could be a successful strategy for the production of a stable external layer that prevents fast corrosion. Our research was aimed to develop an Mg stable oxide coating using plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) in silicate-based solutions. 99.9% pure Mg alloy was anodized in electrolytes contained mixtures of sodium silicate and sodium fluoride, calcium hydroxide and sodium hydroxide. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), contact angle (CA), …

Multi-physical analysis of the electrochemical behaviour of OFHC copper surfaces obtained by orthogonal cutting

2020

International audience; As mechanical, physical, and microstructural properties of metals can be significantly affected by the machining process, electrochemical properties and corrosion resistance are consequently altered. Manufacturers should control the impact of cutting conditions on surface integrity, as it will affect the component’s functional performance and life. This study addresses the case of orthogonal cutting of oxygen-free high conductivity (OFHC) copper. A set of experiments was performed and a statistical analysis was conducted to reveal the relationship between the cutting conditions and the surface integrity in terms of residualstresses, microstructure, plastic deformatio…

Intussusceptive Remodeling of Vascular Branch Angles in Chemically-Induced Murine Colitis

2013

Intussusceptive angiogenesis is a developmental process linked to both blood vessel replication and remodeling in development. To investigate the prediction that the process of intussusceptive angiogenesis is associated with vessel angle remodeling in adult mice, we systematically evaluated corrosion casts of the mucosal plexus in mice with trinitrobenzesulphonic acid (TNBS)-induced and dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis. The mice demonstrated a significant decrease in vessel angles in both TNBS-induced and DSS-induced colitis within 4 weeks of the onset of colitis (p<.001). Corrosion casts 28–30 days after DSS treatment were studied for a variety of detailed morphometric changes.…

Structural adaptations in the murine colon microcirculation associated with hapten-induced inflammation

2007

Objectives: Blood flowing across the vascular endothelium creates wall shear stress, dependent on flow velocity and vessel geometry, that tends to disrupt lymphocyte-endothelial cell adhesion. To identify structural adaptations during acute colitis that may facilitate transmigration, we investigated the microcirculation in a murine model of acute colitis. Methods: In trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid (TNBS)- induced acute colitis, the infiltrating cells and colonic microcirculation was investigated by cellular topographic mapping as well as corrosion casting and 3- dimensional (3D) scanning electron microscopy. Colonic blood velocimetry was performed using intravital microscopy. Results: Clinica…
