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.
Rôle des espèces sulfures dans la corrosion des aciers non alliés : hétérogénéités de la couche de produits de corrosion et couplages galvaniques
2014
The present study relates to the problem of the long-term interim storage of nuclear wastes. In France, it is envisaged that high-level radioactive wastes will be confined in a glass matrix, stored in a stainless steel canister, itself placed in a carbon steel overpack. The wastes will then be stored at a depth of ~450 m in a deep geological disposal, drilled in a very stiff (indurated) clay (argillite) formation. A temperature as high as 90°C is expected at the steel surface because of the intense radioactivity. Anodic polarization at applied current density was used to synthetize corrosion product layers likely to be formed in storage conditions. The S235 steel electrodes were covered by …
3 Probing and Modelling of Galvanic Coupling Phenomena in Localized Corrosion
2011
The basic driving force of localized corrosion or corrosion protection in numerous cases is the galvanic coupling of which the dimensional aspect is fixed by a combination of scales regarding interfacial processes or properties. At the electrolyte–metal interface, it is necessary to consider the microstructure (including all real-time modification induced for example by applied stresses), the possible chemical changes at the surface of the material, and the electrolyte conductivity contribution, among others factors.
