Equimolar reactions of Zn2+ and Cd2+acetates with the carbothiohydrazide, [2‐HO‐C6H4‐C(H) = N‐N(H)‐C(=S)‐N(C2H4)2O] chelating agent (H2L) have produced the binuclear [M(L)]2 metal chelates. The isolated compounds have been evaluated by elemental analyses, XRD, molar conductivities, 1H and 13C‐NMR, FTIR, FAB‐MS, UV–Vis, and thermal analyses. The crystal structure of the chelating agent has been resolved and indicates the presence of the chelating agent exclusively in its E conformer regarding the C(H) = N bond. Elemental analyses and molar conductance data indicated that the investigated metal chelates are nonelectrolytes and were formed with 2 M:2 L stoichiometry. FT‐IR along 1H‐NMR spectral data gave evidence for a di‐anionic chelating agent that bonded with central metal ions via azomethine N, deprotonated phenolic O, and thiolate S atoms. The anti‐corrosion performance of the chelating agent and its metal chelates have been evaluated for protecting carbon steel (CS) in 15% HCl aqueous solution using electrochemical examination (EIS and PDP), surface examination (SEM and XPS) and theoretical approach (DFT calculations and MC simulation). The results revealed that [Zn(L)]2 complexes remarkably performed with an inhibition efficiency of about 94.7%, which was better than those for [Cd(L)]2 complex (93.0%) and H2L (88.2%), respectively. The EIS results revealed the gradual rise of charge transfer resistance (Rct) with concentration, while the PDP proved the mixed‐type inhibition performance with cathodic advantage consistent with the Langmuir adsorption model. It was verified that the Zn (II) complex could adsorb on the metallic surface, forming a protective layer responsible for mitigating the corrosion reaction and ions diffusion. This study provided novel inhibitors with structures designed and developed for inhibiting the corrosion process with marked performance. The results derived from various methodologies contribute to a substantiated interpretation of the mechanism of inhibition. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Two synthesized carboxamide derivatives were investigated in 1M HCl as corrosion inhibitors for carbon steel (CS): 1-benzyl-5-methyl-N-(o-tolyl)-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxamide (BPCP) and 1-benzyl-N-cyclohexyl-5-methyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxamide (BPCC). For a concentration of 300 ppm at room temperature 298K, the best inhibition efficiencies of BPCP and BPCC were found to be 88.2% and 84.5%, respectively. The EIS results correlated positively with parameters calculated by density functional theory, using different basis functions: Gaussian functions in Gaussian 09 software and numerical functions in Dmol3 software. In addition, calculations of the adsorption energy of each inhibitor on the CS surface, found by Monte Carlo method, confirm this correlation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The effect of crevice size on the crevice corrosion of N80 carbon steel was investigated by electrochemical measurements and surface analysis in a CO2-saturated NaCl-HAc solution. The N80 carbon steel exhibits a high susceptibility to crevice corrosion in this environment, which can be initiated immediately without an induction period for specimens with crevice sizes of 100 μm, 300 μm, and 500 μm. Typically, crevice solutions become more acidic during crevice corrosion; however, in this study, the crevice solution became alkaline, resulting in galvanic corrosion between the inner and outer steel surfaces and leading to severe crevice corrosion. The pH levels of the crevice solution for specimens with 100 μm and 300 μm crevice sizes are similar, but both are notably higher than that of the specimen with a 500 μm crevice size. As a result, there is no significant difference in the crevice corrosion phenomenon between specimens with 100 μm and 300 μm crevice sizes, but it is more severe than in the specimen with a 500 μm crevice size.

In this paper, a new pyrazole derivative, namely, (2-(((3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)methyl)amino)-5-nitrophenyl)(phenyl) methanone (2-DPM) was uniquely used as an inhibitor of corrosion for carbon steel (C-S) in acidic solution (1 M HCl). Numerous techniques include electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), potentiodynamic polarization (PDP), surface morphology analysis (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDX), atom force microscopy (AFM), angle of contact, X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and UV-visible analysis. Molecular dynamic simulations (MDs) and quantum chemical computations (DFT) were utilized to assess the 2-DPM ability. The results show that the inhibitor, acting in a mixed inhibitory mode, considerably reduces the incidence of C-S corrosion by protecting the metal surface with an effective protective layer. The chemically adsorbed novel pyrazole (2-DPM) molecule has an improved corrosion performance of nearly 96% at 303 K, which is supported by EIS and theoretical analyses. The Langmuir isotherm model was shown to regulate the adsorption of 2-DPM on the surface of C-S. Finally, there is a strong correlation between theoretical research and experimental findings.

In this study, CrNi alloyed coating was deposited on Q235 low carbon steel by arc-added glow plasma depositing technique in order to increase the corrosion resistance property. It was found that the CrNi alloyed coating was composed of face-centered cubic Cr0.7Ni2.9Fe0.36 phase. The EDS results indicated that 7.3 μ m coatings were prepared which was bonded metallurgically with the substrate. The salt spray corrosion test result showed that the corrosion product film of coating was dense while the corrosion film of carbon steel was multilayered in morphology. The corrosion product film of CrNi coating reduced the corrosion rate. However, the corrosion product of Q235 with loose multi-layer structure increased corrosion process. The erosion corrosion properties of carbon steel and coating were tested in NaCl solution with different flowing speed through electrochemical test methods. The erosion corrosion results showed that the corrosion rate of carbon steel was increased in flowing NaCl solution. The corrosion product of CrNi coating could protect inner material in NaCl solution at flowing speed of 2 m·s − 1 to 6 m·s − 1 . [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The use of simulated solutions is a common practice in corrosion studies to assess easily and quickly the corrosion behaviour of materials in real situations. In this context, it is frequent to substitute tests performed in concrete or mortar with tests performed in porous‐like solutions. Particularly, to simulate carbonated concrete, different carbonated porous‐like solutions (CPS) are found in the literature. However, it is not known whether the use of these solutions accurately predicts the behaviour of steel bars embedded in carbonated concrete. In the present work, a comparison between the corrosion behaviour of carbon steel in carbonated mortar and in different CPS was performed. It was found that none of the CPS studied in the present work adequately simulate the corrosion behaviour of the steel in carbonated mortar, but the CPS containing high concentrations of carbonates/bicarbonates is the only one that provides corrosion rates close to those obtained in carbonated concrete.

Carbon steel is an essential material for constructing pipelines in different industries, but serious casualties and significant economic loss could occur due to the corrosion of the pipeline steel. The artificial intelligence–based method has been shown successful in evaluating the corrosion problem in pipelines. The accuracy of the corrosion data used in the artificial intelligence–based method is crucial. The data can be collected from field tests and laboratory experiments. Compared with field tests, the corrosion data obtained through laboratory experiments, such as electrochemical measurements, are more comprehensive, but the results are often inaccurate due to the nonuniform surface state. This study aims to propose a method to improve the accuracy of electrochemical experiment data by modified the surface morphology. To achieve the objective, a technique was designed to prepare the uniform morphology. Moreover, different electrochemical measurements, texture analysis, micromorphological characteristics, and chemical composition analysis were performed under the nonuniform and uniform surface conditions in this work. It was found that the addition of 0.5×10−3 M Fe2+ was effective in preparing a homogenous electrode surface while almost having no additional impact on the corrosion process. The results proved that the surface morphology of the carbon steel electrode significantly influenced the results of the open circuit potential and potentiodynamic polarization. A uniform surface could improve the accuracy of electrochemical measurements. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

"The article investigates the macro-cell corrosion behavior and corrosion resistance when the alloyed steel and the carbon steel are used together because the traditional carbon steel is difficult to meet the corrosion resistance and durability of the steel structure of the transmission line in the marine environment." In this paper, a new type of Cr-alloyed corrosion-resistant steel (00Cr10MoV) is used to partially replace carbon structural steel in order to meet the actual needs of corrosion resistance and service life improvement of steel structures for offshore transmission lines. It is important to systematically study the macro-cell corrosion behavior of combinations of the same type of steel and dissimilar steel, induced by the chloride concentration difference in simulated concrete solutions, and employ electrochemical testing methods to scientifically evaluate the corrosion resistance of steel after macro-cell corrosion. The aim is to study and evaluate the macro-cell corrosion behavior of alloyed corrosion-resistant steel and to lay a foundation for its combined use with carbon steel in a chloride corrosion environment to improve the overall corrosion resistance and service life. Under the same concentration difference, the macro-cell corrosion of the alloyed steel combination is milder compared with the carbon steel combination. The corrosion current of the alloyed steel combination at 29 times the concentration difference is only 1/10 of the carbon steel combination. Moreover, at 29 times the concentration difference, the macro-cell corrosion potential of dissimilar steel is only 1/6 of the combined potential of carbon steel combination under the same concentration difference, and the corrosion current is only 1/10 of that of the carbon steel combination.

In this work, a series of durability requirements are proposed for the construction of long-service-life reinforced concrete (RC) structures in a coastal environment with extreme atmospheric corrosivity. RC specimens were exposed in a coastal outdoor site in Cuba for three years. Carbon steel corrosion evaluation revealed an annual average atmospheric corrosion rate over the maximum limit established (ISO 9223:2012) for extreme (CX) atmospheric corrosivity. The service life of the RC structures, considered as the sum of the time-to-corrosion-initiation and time-to-corrosion-induced concrete cracking, was determined as a function of durability requirements. The most important durability requirements to achieve a long service life (>70 years) in RC structures subjected to a CX corrosivity category were defined as follows: water/cement ratio, compressive strength, percentage of effective capillary porosity, and concrete cover thickness. Under these hostile environments, the expansion of the corrosion products formed on the reinforcement steel and the induced cracking of the concrete could be attributed partially to the formation of the akaganeite phase in reinforcement steel, which revealed a different morphology compared to the akaganeite typically formed in bare carbon steels.

A series of morpholine salt volatile corrosion inhibitors (VCIs) were synthesized via solid-phase chemical reactions. The corrosion inhibition performance was assessed using evaporation weight loss, VCI capability, and corrosion weight loss tests. The corrosion inhibition mechanisms of the morpholine salt VCIs for carbon steel in atmospheric conditions were explored through electrochemical testing under thin film electrolytes, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and computational simulations. Morpholine carbonate exhibited higher volatility. Corrosion weight loss tests showed an >85% reduction for steel treated with morpholine benzoate or morpholine carbonate. The inhibitors' inhibition mechanism, elucidated through X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and computational simulations, revealed that morpholine carbonate and benzoate form protective layers via physical and chemical adsorption on the steel surface, coordinating with iron atoms through nitrogen and oxygen atoms. Quantum chemical calculations demonstrated that morpholine carbonate had stronger adsorption energy and electron transfer capabilities, indicating superior corrosion inhibition performance over morpholine benzoate.

Aged oil pipeline production systems, historically designed without corrosion protection due to predominantly oil-wetted conditions, now face significant changes as increased water content in produced oil arises from field maturation. This work investigates the corrosion inhibition properties of sweet crude oil on carbon steel 1018 in a CO2-saturated NaCl solution using electrochemical testing (open circuit potential, polarization resistance, electrochemical impedance, potentiodynamic polarization) and surface characterization (SEM, EDS) techniques at 50 °C and pH 6. Carbon steel specimens were immersed in crude oil for durations ranging from 0 to 144 h before undergoing corrosion testing. Results showed that a 144-h immersion in crude oil led to an 88 % reduction in corrosion rate, comparable to the efficiency of standard quaternary ammonium-based inhibitors. Furthermore, a semi-empirical model predicting uniform CO2 corrosion rates for varying oil immersion durations is proposed and validated by comparing its predictions with experimental data from the electrochemical tests.

In this study, Co–W and Co–W/Si 3 N 4 coatings were electrodeposited at different temperatures and Si 3 N 4 concentrations, respectively, to investigate the effects of these parameters on the chemical composition, thickness, morphology, structure, and corrosion behavior of the resulting coatings. Increasing the bath temperature from 25 to 65 °C resulted in less defective Co–W coatings with fine nodular morphologies, higher tungsten content (43.1 wt% at 65 °C), and smaller corrosion current density (2 vs. 7.8 μA cm−2). With the addition of 2–25 g L−1 Si 3 N 4 particles to the electrodeposition bath and the co-deposition of up to 8.1 wt% of these particles within the Co–W matrix, the nodular morphology gradually changed to cauliflower and then powdery form, and the tungsten content of the coatings decreased. The decrease in tungsten content resulted in structural changes from amorphous to nanocrystalline. According to the potentiodynamic polarization and EIS results, the Co–W/Si 3 N 4 coatings deposited from baths containing 5 and 10 g L−1 of Si 3 N 4 particles had the best corrosion resistance among the samples. The corrosion current density of Co–W/10 g L−1 Si 3 N 4 coating was 0.7 μA cm−2, which is significantly smaller than that of bare steel substrate (27 μA cm−2). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the present study, the chemical composition, mineralogy, and mechanisms of alteration of a cementitious grout based on a CEM III/C with addition of smectite, hydrotalcite, and silica fume, are studied using a combination of chemical and physical methods. This material was designed in the context of geological repository of radioactive wastes, with a twofold aim: first, to fill the technical voids left by drilling operations at the interface between the geological formation and the disposal galleries. Second, to neutralize a potential acidic transient due to pyrite oxidation, and to create an environment that favors low corrosion rates of carbon steels. The grout is mainly composed of calcium silicate hydrates having a Ca/Si ratio of ~0.8, incorporating Al in the bridging site of the Si chains (C-A-S-H), and accounting for 29–36 wt.% of the sample. It also contains silica fume (38–48 wt.%), smectite with interlayer Na (11–17 wt.%), hydrotalcite with interlayer CO32− (3–4 wt.%), and lower amounts of portlandite, calcite, and possibly gibbsite and gypsum. Upon alteration by water in a flow-through reactor, the main modifications affecting the sample are calcite and gypsum dissolution, hence releasing aqueous Ca2+ that is adsorbed in smectite interlayer by replacing Na+, and stoichiometric C-A-S-H dissolution. The evolution of solution chemistry and of the solid phase composition are reproduced successfully using a thermokinetic model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The application of organic coatings is the most cost-effective and common method for metallic equipment toward corrosion, whose anti-corrosion property needs to be improved and evaluated in a short time. To rapidly and rationally assess the anti-corrosion property of organic coatings in the ocean splash zone, a new accelerated test was proposed. In the study, the corrosion protection property of the coating samples was measured by an improved AC-DC-AC test in a simulated seawater of 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution, a simulated ocean splash zone test and a new accelerated test combining the above two tests. The results showed that the corrosion rate of the coating samples was high in the improved AC-DC-AC test, which lost its anti-corrosion property after 24 cycles equal to 96 h. The main rapid failure reason was that the time of the water and corrosive media arriving at the carbon steel substrate under the alternating cathodic and anodic polarization with symmetrical positive and negative electric charges was shortened. The entire impedance of the coating samples was improved by about 1.6 times more than that in the initial early time in the simulated ocean splash zone test, which was caused by the damage effect from the salt spraying, drying, humidifying, salt immersion, high temperature and UVA irradiation being weaker than the enhancement effect from the post-curing process by the UVA irradiation. In the new accelerated test, the samples lost their corrosion resistance after 12 cycles equal to 288 h with the fastest failure rate. On account of the coupling process of the salt spraying, drying, humidifying, salt immersion, high temperature combined with the cathodic and anodic polarization and the UVA irradiation, the penetration and transmission rate of water and corrosive media in the coating were further accelerated, the corrosion rate on the carbon steel substrate was reinforced even larger and the destruction of the top polymer molecules was more serious. The new accelerated test showed the strongest damage-acceleration effect than that in the other two tests. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Chitosan was used as the raw material. A quaternization reaction was carried out between 2,3-epoxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride and water-soluble chitosan to prepare quaternary ammonium salt water-soluble chitosan (QWSC), and its corrosion inhibition performance against the corrosion of carbon steel in stone processing wastewater was evaluated. The corrosion inhibition efficiencies of QWSC on carbon steel in stone processing wastewater were investigated through weight loss, as well as electrochemical and surface morphology characterization techniques. The results show that QWSC has superior corrosion inhibition performance for A3 carbon steel. When an amount of 60 mL·L−1 is added, the corrosion inhibition efficiency can reach 59.51%. Electrochemical research has shown that a QWSC inhibitor is a mixed-type corrosion inhibitor. The inhibition mechanisms of the QWSC inhibitor revealed that the positive charge on the surface of carbon steel in stone wastewater was conducive to the adsorption of Cl− in the medium, which produced an excessive negative charge on the metal's surface. At the same time, the quaternary ammonium cation and amino cation formed in QWSC in stone processing wastewater can be physically absorbed on the surface of A3 carbon steel, forming a thin-film inhibitor to prevent metal corrosion.

The corrosion behavior of carbon steel under the coexistence of carbon dioxide and SRB was studied by means of corrosion weight loss, SEM, EDS, in situ pH test, and other methods. The results showed that Chloride ions, temperature, pH, and oxygen coexist with iron bacteria will affect the corrosion under the coexistence of CO2 and SRB, and SRB tends to grow in a favorable environment for itself, and the corrosion rate of X52N at 42 days is slightly higher than that at 21 days. However, the pitting depth increased sharply from 21.20 µm in 21 days to 39.79 µm in 42 days. So that the corrosion can be divided into two stages. First, SRB catalyze the dissolution of FeCO3, leading to local uniform corrosion. Second, SRB directly obtain electrons from the metal surface, resulting in local pitting. In addition, the environment under the stable mineralized biofilm was found to be slightly alkaline. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, nickel chloride was selected as metal ions and 2,2′-bipyridine (bipy) and benzoic acid (ba) as ligands to synthesize Ni-bipy-ba ternary complex. Its corrosion inhibition effects on the corrosion of P110 carbon steel in 0.5 M HCl were evaluated by weight loss test, electrochemical measurements, surface analyses, and theoretical calculations. The results show that the Ni-bipy-ba ternary complex exhibits excellent corrosion inhibition properties compared with the two ligands, especially at high temperatures, which is supported by the calculation of thermodynamic parameters. Surface analyses indicate that Ni-bipy-ba ternary complex can inhibit corrosion by forming adsorption film on the metal surface. Theoretical calculations show a good correlation with the experimental results. The best corrosion inhibition efficiency of Ni-bipy-ba ternary complex could be ascribed to the synergistic effect of metal ligands and the complex structure with larger dimension and molecular mass.

Phytochemical-rich natural extracts have recently attracted intense attention as green corrosion inhibitors and costly benign coating components for the protection of metallic structures of immense commercial importance. Herein, various methods were applied to assess the corrosion protection efficiency of a methanolic extract of parsley (Petroselinum crispum) (PCE) on carbon steel C37 in 1 M HCl. Initially, the chemical profile of PCE was analyzed using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS), and myristicin and apiol were identified as the main components. The results from the weight loss, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and potentiodynamic polarization (PDP) techniques revealed a substantial reduction in the corrosion rate upon the use of PCE, with a maximum inhibition efficiency of 92% at 1 g L−1 PCE. To optimize the performance, the corrosion behavior was investigated over a temperature range of 303–333 K and for concentrations of 0.1–1 g L−1. The inhibition effectiveness increased at higher concentrations of PCE, whilst it decreased when the temperature was elevated. The query suggests that the adsorption process involves both physical and chemical mechanisms. The adsorption of PCE onto C37 was well described by the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The data were used to determine the activation energy and thermodynamic parameters. The PCE coating acted as a mixed-type inhibitor, hampering both cathodic and anodic corrosion reactions. SEM further confirmed the formation of a protective coating film on the steel surface when exposed to PCE. UV-Vis and XRD were implemented to understand the inhibition mechanism and formed products at the microscopic and spectroscopic levels. Hence, the green PCE inhibitor may potentially be applied in corrosion mitigation due to its high corrosion protection efficacy and its environmentally benign nature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study evaluated the self‐healing characteristics of superabsorbent polymers (SAP) in epoxy polyamide paint systems applied using brush application. The SAP underwent preliminary characterization to determine its primary properties and was then incorporated into the epoxy primer at different percentages. The epoxy‐SAP coating systems then underwent various tests to evaluate their self‐healing capability. Excellent adhesion is obtained with the coating system composed of initial epoxy primer, epoxy‐SAP layer, final epoxy primer, and an epoxy enamel topcoat. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) reveals that the addition of SAP increased the charge transfer resistance and pore resistance and decreased the double layer capacitance of the coating system in a span of 5 h, confirming the self‐healing of the coating. Maximum corrosion protection for 5 h is obtained between 15 to 20 wt% SAP. Lastly, it is determined through long‐term immersion tests that the addition of SAP in the coating significantly decreases the rust formation; however, the coating starts to peel off due to the swelling of SAP after 2–3 days.

To combat abiotic CO2 corrosion of pipelines, chromium steels (CrSs) are used to replace carbon steels, but CrSs can suffer very severe pitting corrosion caused by microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) because their passive films are not as good as those on high-grade stainless steels, and their MIC often involves (semi-)conductive corrosion product films. In this study, severe pitting corrosion (2.0 cm/a pitting corrosion rate) with a 7-day weight loss of 3.8 ± 0.5 mg/cm2 (0.26 mm/a uniform corrosion rate) was observed on 13Cr coupons incubated anaerobically with a highly corrosive pure-strain sulfate reducing bacterium (SRB) Desulfovibrio ferrophilus IS5 in 125 mL anaerobic vials filled with 50 mL enriched artificial seawater at 28°C. A popular green biocide, namely tetrakis hydroxymethyl phosphonium sulfate (THPS), was enhanced by biofilm dispersing Peptide A (a 14-mer) to mitigate SRB MIC against 13Cr. The 7-day weight losses for coupons with 50 ppm (w/w) THPS, 50 ppm THPS + 100 nM (180 ppb) Peptide A and 100 ppm THPS were reduced to 2.2 ± 0.2 mg/cm2, 1.5 ± 0.5 mg/cm2, and 0.3 ± 0.2 mg/cm2, respectively. The pitting rates also decreased from 20 mm/a to 12 mm/a, 8.6 mm/a, and 1.5 mm/a, respectively based on the maximum pit depth data for the 7-day incubation. Electrochemical tests using a miniature electrochemical glass cell design supported the weight loss trend with additional transient corrosion rate information. THPS was found to be effective in mitigating severe pitting corrosion on 13Cr, and the enhancement effect of Peptide A for THPS was manifested. This work has significant implications in field applications when CrSs are considered as metal choices to replace carbon steels to combat abiotic CO2 corrosion in pipelines. When SRB MIC is a possible threat, a mitigation plan needs to be implemented to prevent potentially very severe pitting that can lead to pinhole leaks. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA) cement was used as an internal admixture to replace some of the magnesium oxide (MgO) in magnesium ammonium phosphate cement (MAPC) coatings. This experiment resulted in improved corrosion resistance and production cost savings for MAPC coatings on carbon steel surfaces. The corrosion resistance of coated carbon steel with different CSA doping concentrations was evaluated by electrochemical methods including Tafel polarization curves and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). At the same time, 7-day flexural and compressive tests, Low-field nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) test, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and thermogravimetric and differential thermogravimetric techniques (TG-DTG) were performed on the modified coatings. Neutral salt spray tests confirmed the improved corrosion resistance of the coated carbon steel. Based on the results of the study, the best ratio of CSA-modified MAPC coatings was finalized. The addition of CSA improved the flexural and compressive strength of MAPC. At later stages of immersion, there was an increase in the polarization resistance value, and a significant increase in the anodic slope of the polarization curve. Furthermore, the overall low-frequency impedance value, coatings resistance, and charge transfer resistance all experienced a substantial increase. The microstructural study revealed that Ca4Al6O12(SO4) gradually hydrated during immersion to produce amorphous hydrated calcium sulfoaluminate gel, significantly improving the anticorrosion performance of the coated carbon steel. After the coated carbon steel were exposed to a neutral salt spray environment for 1,440 h, there was no bulging or flaking of the coatings surface, and no rusting of the carbon steel surface. The modified coatings effectively served as a protective layer. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The present study aimed to delve into the root cause failure analysis of a carbon steel member (Grade Q235C) within a high-voltage transmission tower which was subject to self-weight (approximately 43 kg) and wind load only (calculated at 2787.35 Pa). Examination of the fracture surface revealed the presence of beach marks and ratchet marks which indicates that the carbon steel member (a square hollow section equipped with two bolted supporting plates positioned 1.7 meters away from the failed welded plate) experienced failure attributed to wind-induced fatigue along the weld joint. No abnormalities were observed in the microstructure and the weld zone predominantly featured a ferrite phase and grain boundary pearlite. However, the finite element analysis conducted using Abaqus software demonstrated that the steel member at the weld joint should not have failed under normal circumstances. The critical finding was that the failure occurred due to the loosening of bolted supporting plates located within a distance of 1.7 meters from the welded joint. As a consequence of the supporting bolted joint becoming loosened, a Von Mises stress of approximately 400 MPa manifested at the welded joint, resulting in an abrupt failure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Corrosion protection of carbon steel in 1% NaCl salt solution saturated with carbon dioxide was studied by potentiodynamic polarization method in the presence of three newly synthesized dissymmetric cocogem surfactants—N,N′-bis(2-hydroxypropyl) hexamethylenediammonium octanoate stearate (NNBOS), N,N′-bis(2-hydroxypropyl) hexamethylenediammonium octanoate oleate (NNBOO) and N,N′-bis(2-hydroxypropyl) hexamethylenediammonium octanoate linolenate (NNBOL). Experimental results revealed that all three compounds—NNBOS, NNBOO and NNBOL—possess high inhibitor efficiency on the protection of carbon steel in 1% NaCl solution saturated with carbon dioxide. Increase in concentrations of NNBOS, NNBOO and NNBOL inhibitors up to 100 ppm in the medium causes increase in their protective effects up to 99.4%. The study of polarization curves confirmed belonging of all three inhibitors to mixed-type inhibitors. Adsorption of inhibitor on the surface of C1018 carbon mild steel corresponds to negative value of Langmuir isotherm model Δ G ads 0 . Thermodynamic data for adsorption process were calculated and discussed. Effect of molecular structure on the inhibitor protective effectiveness was studied. Experiments revealed that adsorption energy of NNBOL inhibitor at a concentration of 100 ppm is higher than adsorption energy of NNBOS and NNBOO inhibitors. It occurs due to the presence of three unsaturated double bonds in linolenic acid residue in NNBOL compound corresponding to experimentally determine high inhibitor efficiency.

The production of materials from mineral resources is a significant contributor to anthropogenic CO2 emissions. This contribution is driven primarily by chemical CO2 emissions from the conversion of mineral resources and emissions tied to energy demands for material processing. In this work, we synthesize the thermodynamically required enthalpy and chemically derived emissions of mineral processing and consumption in the United States. We quantify mass, enthalpy, and emissions flows for minerals described by the US Geological Survey, with 882 mass flows and 155 chemical reactions analyzed. In total, 503 PJ of enthalpy is thermodynamically required for 398 Mt of chemically converted material consumption in the United States, resulting in 129 Mt of chemically derived CO2 emissions. Additionally, 249 PJ of fuel resources such as coke are stoichiometrically required for the chemical conversion of minerals. These enthalpy requirements and CO2 emissions are primarily from high‐mass consumption materials such as cement, carbon steel, fertilizer, and aluminum. Cumulatively, the dataset synthesized in this work provides a complete view of the chemical requirements of mineral processing and can aid in guiding decarbonization or sustainable growth in critical minerals sectors, including construction materials and materials for energy storage or generation.

This article aims to investigate the atmospheric corrosion of carbon steel in a marine environment abundant in hydrogen sulfide (H2S) resulting from the decomposition of Sargassum seaweed. To accomplish this, four sites with varying degrees of impact were chosen along the coast of Martinique. The corrosion rates of steel were evaluated through mass loss measurements. After one year of exposure, the corrosion rates were notably high, particularly in atmospheres rich in Cl− ions and H2S, ranging from 107 µm to 983 µm. Complementing these findings, surface and product morphologies were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) coupled with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). These analyses revealed a significant degradation of the corrosion surface in the most affected atmospheres compared to those unaffected by Sargassum seaweed strandings. Lepidocrocite (γFeOOH) was identified as the predominant product regardless of the exposure atmosphere. However, goethite (αFeOOH) was found to be present in atmospheres most impacted by H2S.

Urgent action is required to mitigate the severe corrosion of carbon steel in low-latitude regions. The combination of high humidity, temperature, and salinity in these areas significantly accelerates steel corrosion, posing a substantial threat to the service safety of offshore engineering equipment. This study aims to elucidate the atmospheric corrosion mechanisms of 45# steel in low-latitude coastal areas. Samples of 45# steel were exposed to atmospheric conditions over various durations in the following three geographically distinct regions: Guangzhou, Wanning, and the South China Sea. The corrosion rates were calculated using weight loss tracking and potentiodynamic polarization measurements, while surface corrosion products were examined using X-ray diffraction (XRD) tests. The findings indicate a clear correlation between the corrosion rate of 45# steel and the latitude and specific location of the test area, with the highest to lowest rates observed in the South China Sea, Wanning, and Guangzhou, respectively. Similarly, the extent of corrosion rust penetration in defective coatings followed the same order. Moreover, the protection ability index (PAI) calculations revealed that none of the tested samples formed a protective corrosion film. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Due to issues with the corrosion problem in the petroleum industry and the use of less ecologically acceptable corrosion inhibitors, great emphasis, within research on corrosion inhibitors, is now being put on green corrosion inhibitors (GCIs). In this study, Lady's mantle flower extract (LMFE) has been observed as a plant-based GCI for carbon steel in a simulated CO2-saturated brine solution. The effectiveness of the inhibitor in static and flow conditions has been determined using potentiodynamic polarization with Tafel extrapolation and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). In static conditions, the inhibitor has been tested at concentrations from 1 g/L to 5 g/L with an increment of 1 g/L per measurement, while, in dynamic (flow) conditions, the inhibitor has been tested at concentrations from 3 g/L to 6 g/L with an increment of 1 g/L per measurement. All measurements were performed at room temperature. EIS and potentiodynamic polarization methods showed that LMFE achieves maximum effectiveness in protecting carbon steel from corrosion when added at a concentration of 4 g/L in static conditions and at a concentration of 5 g/L in flow conditions. The test methods proved that the inhibitory effectiveness of LMFE is greater than 90% in both test conditions (static and flow). The inhibitor efficiency was attributed to the adsorption of LMFE on the carbon steel surface, which was demonstrated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). A biodegradability of 0.96 and a toxicity of 19.34% for LMFE were determined.

This study explores Daucus crinitus extracts (DCE) and zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) synthesized using the extracts as corrosion inhibitors for carbon steel (CS) in HCl medium. The synthesized ZnO-NPs were characterized via UV-vis spectroscopy, exhibiting a peak at approximately 375 nm. The study employed weight loss (WL) and electrochemical measurements, alongside spectrophotometric evaluation of corrosion products. Surface morphology was assessed via scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS). Thermodynamic analysis revealed the physical adsorption of DCE on CS according to the Freundlich adsorption isotherm. Potentiodynamic polarization (PP) measurements indicated DCE as a mixed-type corrosion inhibitor. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) exhibited increased charge transfer resistance and reduced double-layer capacitance with inhibitory addition. The most effective inhibition was observed with butanol extract (BE) and improved more with its corresponding nanoparticles (BENPs), exhibiting inhibitory efficiencies of 80.20% and 91.20%, respectively, at 298 K with a concentration of 800 ppm. The evaluation of corrosion products using colorimetry revealed that the concentration of polyphenols decreased after the inhibitory process. Furthermore, the intensity of ferrous ions (Fe2+) decreased as the inhibitory concentration increased. In addition, SEM-EDS analysis confirmed the presence of ZnO-NPs, which enhanced the surface morphology and established a protective layer formed by the adsorbed inhibitors. The SEM-EDS analysis confirmed the presence of ZnO-NPs, the enhancement of surface morphology, and the establishment of a protective layer formed by the adsorbed inhibitors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Each year, the rising demand for palm oil generates large amounts of palm kernel shell waste. Discarded palm kernel shells can produce activated carbon, crushed shells, liquified fumes, and other derivatives; however, their indiscriminate disposal persists, raising issues related to the environment and economy. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the use of palm kernel shell as a corrosion inhibitor for thermo-mechanically treated steel in a seawater environment using gravimetric and electrochemical techniques, as well as surface tests at varying concentrations. The findings demonstrated that the palm kernel shell inhibited the cathodic and anodic processes by adsorption on the steel surface, which followed the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The inhibitor exhibited a 98% inhibitory efficiency at 500 ppm concentration. Scanning electron microscopy analysis verified the thin films of the inhibitor on steel surface in seawater solution. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy results show that the extract's components prevent the steel corrosion through an adsorptive mechanism. According to the inhibitor economic evaluation, employing the palm kernel shell extract is less expensive than utilizing conventional inhibitors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Corrosion under insulation (CUI) is a form of corrosion typically occurring on steel pipes and vessels covered with thermal insulation. CUI is a critical issue in petrochemical and refining industry leading to significant financial losses and severe environmental hazards. State‐of‐the art CUI monitoring system consisting of wireless loggers with flexible resistometric sensors is used to assess the effect of insulation material, position, and presence of a defect on the actual corrosivity toward carbon steel under alternating condensation conditions. All three considered factors together with the climatic parameters and presence of corrosion products are important for the CUI process. Most complex is the role of the insulation material as the properties inhibiting corrosion under intact insulation may be linked to a worse insulating ability. Because of the high sensitivity and immediate response of the sensors, the technique can be applied for timely CUI detection of insulated pipelines in both industrial facilities and laboratory studies.

Microbially influenced corrosion (MIC) is a potentially critical degradation mechanism for a wide range of materials exposed to environments that contain relevant microorganisms. The likelihood and rate of MIC are affected by microbiological, chemical, and metallurgical factors; hence, the understanding of the mechanisms involved, verification of the presence of MIC, and the development of mitigation methods require a multidisciplinary approach. Much of the recent focus in MIC research has been on the microbiological and chemical aspects, with less attention given to metallurgical attributes. Here, we address this knowledge gap by providing a critical synthesis of the literature on the metallurgical aspects of MIC of carbon steel, a material frequently associated with MIC failures and widely used in construction and infrastructure globally. The article begins by introducing the process of MIC, then progresses to explore the complexities of various metallurgical factors relevant to MIC in carbon steel. These factors include chemical composition, grain size, grain boundaries, microstructural phases, inclusions, and welds, highlighting their potential influence on MIC processes. This review systematically presents key discoveries, trends, and the limitations of prior research, offering some novel insights into the impact of metallurgical factors on MIC, particularly for the benefit of those already familiar with other aspects of MIC. The article concludes with recommendations for documenting metallurgical data in MIC research. An appreciation of relevant metallurgical attributes is essential for a critical assessment of a material's vulnerability to MIC to advance research practices and to broaden the collective knowledge in this rapidly evolving area of study.

The purpose of this research is to investigate the influence of SO42− in aerobic/anaerobic environment and its interaction with HCO3− on the corrosion behavior of Q345 carbon steel using potentiodynamic polarization, X-ray diffraction, white-light interferometer, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy methods. It was found that the corrosion rates of Q345 carbon steel are faster in aerobic environment under the synergistic effects of SO42− and dissolved oxygen compared to that in the absence of oxygen. In solutions containing SO42− and HCO3− in anaerobic environment, a high proportion of HCO3−/SO42− leads to the passivation of Q345 carbon steel sample as a result of the competitive adsorption of HCO3− on substrate surface with smaller radius. As the ratio of HCO3−/SO42− decreases, the presence of SO42− can enhance the dissolution of Fe matrix, thereby resulting in the corrosion of specimens. High concentration of HCO3− also exhibits the suppression on corrosion because of the formation of dense corrosion products. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Developing environmentally friendly and biodegradable corrosion inhibitors is an important research direction due to the toxicity and non-degradability of conventional carbon steel corrosion inhibitors added to circulating cooling water environments. Polysaccharides in EPSs (Exopolysaccharides) can be used as green corrosion inhibitors, but a low inhibition rate limits their practical application. Chemical modification is widely used to modify the functionality of polysaccharides by altering their physicochemical properties and structures, thereby enhancing or supplementing their functional characteristics. In this study, we employed chloroacetic acid as an esterifying agent to chemically modify Dextran and successfully synthesized a modified polysaccharide derivative with a substitution degree of 0.326. This derivative efficiently inhibited the corrosion of carbon steel in circulating cooling water environments. The carboxymethylated dextran (CM-Dextran) formed after synthesis could adsorb onto metal surfaces to form a protective film, thereby inhibiting metal surface dissolution reactions and exhibiting anodic corrosion inhibition properties. The experimental results showed that the corrosion inhibition efficiency of CM-Dextran after modification increased by up to 57.4%, with a maximum inhibition efficiency of 82.52% at a concentration of 4 mg/mL. This study provides new insights and opportunities for the development of environmentally friendly corrosion inhibitors derived from polysaccharides. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The inhibition power of two Schiff bases on carbon steel corrosion in 1 M HCl and 0.5 M H2SO4 solutions has been investigated using weight loss, Tafel polarization, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy techniques. The results revealed that increasing the concentration of inhibitors in acidic solutions led to a higher inhibition efficiency. The polarization curves indicated that the Schiff bases acted as mixed inhibitors, affecting both the cathodic and anodic reactions. The adsorption of the inhibitors on the carbon steel surface followed the Langmuir adsorption isotherm, and various adsorption isotherm parameters such as Kads, ΔGads, ΔHads, and ΔSads were determined at room temperature. Furthermore, the effect of temperature on the inhibitors′ performance was examined within the range of 25–45 °C. The corrosion‐related activation energy, pre‐exponential factor (k), activation enthalpy, and entropy were calculated to assess the inhibitors′ behavior. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was employed to examine some carbon steel samples, revealing differences in inhibition efficiency attributed to the inhibitors′ chemical structure. The results highlighted the highest inhibition efficiency in H2SO4 medium at 93.4 %, with a corresponding free energy of 39.51 KJ/mol indicating physical‐chemical adsorption of inhibitor molecules. Furthermore, an enthalpy value of −40.6 KJ/mol suggested an exothermic inhibitor absorption process. The findings are presented and discussed in detail. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A mechanical device inspired by the pistol shrimp snapper claw was developed. This technology features a claw characterized by a periodic opening/closing motion, at a controlled frequency, capable of producing oscillating flows at transitional Reynolds numbers. An innovative method was also proposed for determining the corrosion rate of carbon steel samples under oscillating acidic streams (aqueous solution of HCl). By employing very-thin carbon steel specimens (25 μm thickness), with one side coated with Zn and not exposed to the stream, it became possible to electrochemically sense the Zn surface once the steel sample was perforated, thus providing the average dissolution rate into the most relevant pit on the steel surface. Furthermore, a laser light positioned beneath the metallic sample, along with a camera programmed to periodically capture images of the steel surface, facilitated the accurate counting of the number of newly formed pits. The system consisting of the thin steel sample and the Zn coating can be seen as a type of corrosion sensor. Furthermore, the proposed laser illumination method allows corroborating the electrochemical detection of pits and also establishing their location. The techniques crafted in this study pave the way for developing alternative corrosion sensors that boast appealing attributes: affordability, compactness, and acceptable accuracy to detect in time and space localized damage.

To develop an environmentally acceptable corrosion inhibitor Rosa damascene extract (RD) served as the main ingredient in H2SO4 pickling processes. X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier‐transform infrared spectroscopy (FT‐IR), technique of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), polarization (PP) curves, and tests of weight loss (WL) have all been utilized to examine the inhibitory behavior of Rosa damascene on C‐steel corrosion in 1 M H2SO4 environment. The results show that the extract effectively inhibited the Zn′ corrosion in 1 M H2SO4. The inhibition was more effective at higher concentrations and temperatures. The inhibitory efficiency increased to 93.5% at a higher applied temperature (45°C) and higher Rosa damascene concentration (300 ppm). However, utilizing the weight loss method at potassium iodide addition, the inhibitory effectiveness of 300 ppm of Rosa damascene was synergistically increased from 75.0% to 96.1% at 25°C. Temkin isotherm was congruent with the adsorption process that produced the inhibitory impact on the C‐steel. The chemical adhesion of the Rosa damascene extract to the surface of the C‐steel was determined by the free energy of adsorption (ΔGoads = 40.5 kJ/mol.). In H2SO4 solution, corrosion of C‐steel may be prevented by the powerful inhibitor Rosa damascene extract. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The stem extract of Solanum Lycopersicum prepared using the methanol extraction method has been investigated as an environment-friendly inhibitor for low-carbon steel in monoprotic(1N HCl) and diprotic(1N H2SO4) solvents and characterized with FT-IR. A maximal inhibition efficiency of 81.8% in 1 N Hydrochloric acid and 92.92% in 1 N Sulfuric acid is assessed under a certain set of conditions of inhibitor concentration and temperature using weight loss, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and potentiodynamic polarization. The results present Solanum Lycopersicum extract as a mixed-type inhibitor that predominantly influences the cathodic reaction and followed the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Reduction in the value of average roughness (Ra)of the surface from 217 nm to 55 nm (in 1 N HCl) and 139.6 nm to 28 nm (in 1 N H2SO4) was observed with AFM after the application of the inhibitor which confirms the formation of a protective membrane and provides green inhibition on the low-carbon steel/solution interface.

[Display omitted] • Combined inhibitors of OP-10P and DD with the inhibition efficiency of 99.9% for zinc in alkaline electrolyte; • The unity of stable discharge performance and efficient inhibition performance has been achieved owing to the special design of inhibitor film; • Protective layer can not only inhibit the corrosion of zinc, but also retain the transmission channel of ion discharge; The self-discharge by corrosion of zinc-air batteries (ZABs) will result in the reduced coulombic efficiency and lower energy efficiency. The additives in electrolyte should not only inhibit the occurrence of self-corrosion during battery dormancy, but also achieve a stable cycle of adsorption–desorption during battery operation, improving the durability of discharge cycles. But the former requires strong binding between additives and zinc to form a dense protective film, while the latter requires easy desorption of additives and zinc without affecting discharge power, which is contradictory to balance. In this study, a dynamic combination of additives and zinc, as well as a design of multi-channel strategy for the corresponding protective layer, have been proposed to solve the issues of self-corrosion and discharge cycle stability. Specifically, the surfactant (octylphenol polyoxyethylene ether phosphate (OP-10P)) and 1,10-decanedithiol (DD) have been selected as the combined anti-corrosion additives in ZABs with concentrated alkaline solution. The synergistic inhibition mechanism and the stabilization mechanism in zinc-air full cells have been studied systematically. The results indicated that the combined inhibitors inhibited the self-corrosion of Zn efficiently in the dormancy, and the inhibition efficiency reached 99.9 % at the optimized proportion. OP-10P achieve the preferential adsorption on the zinc surface, and then the chelates of DD with Zn2+ deposit on the outer layer to form the protective film with fine hydrophobic performance. The stability of ZABs in discharge and charging cycles has been improved owing to the multilayer adsorption film on zinc surface, which retains ion transport channels with the homogeneously pores to weaken the dendrites and side reactions during galvanostatic cycles. A probable model on zinc surface was established to discuss the actual working mechanism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The role of flow velocity on the formation and dissolution of oxides on SA106Gr.B carbon steel was investigated at both microscopic and atomic scales. In static water, a compact oxide layer with highly faceted magnetite particles was formed. Atomic-scale transmission electron microscopy images of such a layer revealed highly ordered and parallel lattice fringes, indicating that the oxide had very high crystallinity and minimal lattice defects. In contrast, turbulent water prompted the creation of a porous oxide layer consisting of amorphous magnetite particles. Here, numerous mismatched lattice fringes were observed, indicating a prevalence of point defects within the oxide structure. These differences in oxide properties are attributed to hydrodynamic shear stress induced by turbulent flow. These findings provide atomic-level insights into how carbon steel corrosion accelerates in fast-flowing water. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The corrosion behavior of 1018 carbon steel in LiCl/H2O mixtures has been evaluated by using potentiodynamic polarization curves, electrochemical noise and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy techniques. Two different concentrations of LiCl were employed, namely 35 and 40 wt. %, and the testing temperatures included 25, 35 and 70 °C. It was found that the steel showed a passive zone; the corrosion current density value increased with an increase in the solution temperature and concentration. The pitting potential value decreased with an increase in the testing temperature and the solution concentration. The corrosion process was under charge transfer control. This mechanism was unaltered either by the solution temperature or concentration. The charge transfer resistance value decreased with an increase in both the solution temperature and concentration. A localized, pitting type of corrosion dominated the corrosion morphology at 25 and 35 °C, whereas at 70 °C, the main type of attack was a mixed type of corrosion. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

: In this research, it has been utilized the powder metallurgy (PM) method and statistical analysis (SA) to examine the use of iron-based components in factories that produce concentrated sulfuric acid. The elements used in the study include elements (Ni, Cr, Mo, Cu, Si, Ti, Mn, and W). To test the samples, it has been conducted immersion corrosion, Tafel corrosion, erosion-corrosion wear and hardness tests after six hours of elemental mixing, 750 MPa of cold pressing, 1200 C° of sintering, and 250 C° of tampering. These tests were conducted to assess the quality and effectiveness of the iron-based components in producing concentrated sulfuric acid. After completing a comprehensive analysis, it was concluded that Alloy A9 was the optimal selection. This decision was based on a statistical application of minitab software and a regression analysis of the partial least squares (PLS) method. Using the response optimizer, sample A9 was tested with the same mixing ratio and yielded results. The alloy's performance under corrosion and mechanical stress was analyzed, with various tests resulting in P values smaller than 0.05 for 0.14 erosion, 0.14 immersion, 0.01 corrosion (Tafel),0.011 wear, and 0.01 hardness. The F-ratio values indicate the extent of variation in the impact of various factors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
