This study examines the effect of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) on the transition from metastable to stable propagating pits using Type 316L (UNS S31603) steel in brines with Cl− concentrations of 10−3 M to 2×10−2 M at 75°C and 150°C. The potentiostatic tests were performed at discrete intervals of 50 mV ... [Corrosion 68, 035004 (2012)] published Thu Mar 01, 2012.

A high-density, low-porosity Al-Co-Ce metallic coating has been applied successfully to an aluminum alloy (AA)2024-T351 (UNS A92024) substrate using a pulsed thermal spray (PTS) process in thicknesses ranging from 100 µm to 500 µm. The three proposed modes of corrosion protection brought about by ... [Corrosion 68, 035006 (2012)] published Thu Mar 01, 2012.

Galvanized steel is one of the most common materials used in the construction industry for its relatively low cost paired with an acceptable corrosion resistance. Nevertheless, the early failure of a number of structures around the world that use galvanized steel as reinforcement has raised some c ... [Corrosion 68, 035005 (2012)] published Thu Mar 01, 2012.

A commercial Cu-38at%Zn foil was subjected to surface mechanical attrition treatment (SMAT) processing. The isothermal oxidation behavior of the SMAT Cu-38at%Zn over the temperature range of 773 ∼ 1,123 K was studied and compared with that of original Cu-38at%Zn. Characterization of the oxidized s ...

Laboratory salt spray testing has been used for many years to accelerate natural atmospheric exposures with limited success. The corrosion of silver represents a stark example of the failings of such testing. In virtually any field environment, silver corrodes measurably in a month, but after 4 mo ...

The pace of coatings development is limited by the time required to assess their corrosion protection properties. This study takes a step forward from past studies and correlates the corrosion performance of protective coatings assessed by a series of short-term electrochemical measurements with 1 ...
