Degree of sensitization and pitting corrosion potential of a supermartensitic stainless steel weldment were measured and compared. An improvement in the degree of sensitization and in the pitting corrosion potential, from the base metal to the weld metal, was found in the electron beam weldment. Th ...

Coupled multielectrode array sensors (CMAS) have been used for real-time monitoring of corrosion, particularly localized corrosion. The internal anodic current on the most anodic electrode in a CMAS was evaluated for aluminum and carbon steel in simulated seawater and dilute hydrochloric acid (HCl) ...

Corrosion inhibition of the self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of 1,2,3-Benzotriazole (BTAH) on virgin and sulfide-covered (tarnished) copper surfaces was studied using impedance, scanning electron microscopy, and Raman spectroscopy. SAM on preexisting sulfide film develops a more improved protection t ... [Corrosion 66, 115002 (2010)] published Mon Nov 01, 2010.
