Corrosion Assessment Of Carbon Steel In Thailand By Atmospheric Corrosion Monitoring (Acm) Sensors, W Pongsaksawad, E Viyanit, S Sorachot, T Shinohara
Journal of Metals, Materials and Minerals
Atmospheric corrosion of metal depends on material compositions, weather condition (dry, dew, and rain period), temperature, relative humidity, and airborne sea salt of specific location. General testing procedure to obtain the corrosion rate is by actual exposure test of the specimen panels based on time interval plan. In Japan, atmospheric corrosion monitoring (ACM) sensor, made of an iron-silver galvanic couple, has been developed and used to sense the corrosivity in terms of galvanic current. Under some atmospheric conditions, these data can be converted to time of wetness and related to the corrosion rate of carbon steel. With ACM sensors, it …

Versatile Route For Preparation Of Polydiacetylene/Zno Nanocomposites And Their Colorimetric Response To Ph And Ethanol, N Rungruangviriya, N Traiphol
Journal of Metals, Materials and Minerals
This contribution presents a simple method to prepare polydiacetylene(PDA)/ZnO nanocomposites, which can be utilized as active materials in sensing technology. The ZnO nanoparticles, which constitute of Zn-OH2 + , Zn-OH and Zn-O- groups at their surfaces, function as nano-substrates for self-assembling of diacetylene monomers, 10,12-pentacosadiynoic acid (PCDA), in aqueous medium. Photopolymerization of the assemblies yields poly(PCDA)/ZnO nanocomposites with core-shell structure. Strong interactions between the active groups at ZnO surface and carboxylic head groups of poly(PCDA) promote chain ordering and reduce segmental dynamics of poly(PCDA) in the nanocomposites. The existence of strong interfacial interaction drastically affects the colorimetric response behavior of …

Journal of Metals, Materials and Minerals
In this research, the Zn-Fe coating having successive layers of alloys of two different compositions were developed alternatively on mild steel for better corrosion protection. The multilayer coatings, or alternatively, composition modulated alloy (CMA) coatings of different configurations have been developed, and their corrosion behaviors were evaluated by electrochemical DC and AC methods. The cyclic cathode current densities and numbers of layers have been optimised for peak corrosion stability of the coatings. Under optimal condition, the CMA coating having 300 layers, having about 67 nm average thickness was found to be approximately six times higher corrosion resistant than monolayer coating …

Oxidation Of Cyclohexane And Ethylbenzene By Hydrogen Peroxide Over Co-Substituted Heteropolytungstate Catalyst, W Kanjina, W Trakarnpruk
Journal of Metals, Materials and Minerals
The tetrabutylammonium salt of Co-substituted heteropolytungstate, [(n-C4H9)4N]4 HPW11Co(H2O)O39.3H2O was synthesized and characterized. It was shown to be an active catalyst for the oxidation of cyclohexane and ethylbenzene. The oxidation reactions were performed using green oxidant hydrogen peroxide and acetonitrile as solvent. The major products of the oxidation of cyclohexane were cyclohexanone (K) and cyclohexanol (A). High selectivity towards K-A oil was achieved. At longer time cyclohexanol was converted to cyclohexanone. Ethylbenzene was also selectively oxidized to acetophenone. These oxidation reactions appear to be radical processes since they were totally inhibited in the presence of radical scavenger.

Study On Flame Retardancy And Anti-Dripping Of Polyester Fabric Treated With Bentonite, Diammonium Hydrogen Phosphate And Aluminium Hydroxide, P Lerdkajornsuk, S Charuchinda
Journal of Metals, Materials and Minerals
The purpose of this research was to improve flame retardancy and anti-dripping of polyester fabric by using bentonite, 3% (w/w) diammonium hydrogen phosphate (DA) and 5, 10% (w/w) aluminium hydroxide (Al(OH)3) via pad-dry technique. The burning behavior of the treated polyester fabric was investigated according to ASTM D1230. The results showed that 10wt% of bentonite alone were capable of imparting anti-dripping. Nevertheless, the preparation of the slurry of bentonite (>10% (w/w)) caused high viscosity leading to difficulties for the preparation and finishing process. Thus, the addition of 4% (w/w) of sodium chloride (NaCl) to the suspension of bentonite (up …

In this study, superhydrophobic cotton fabric was prepared by coating maleic-anhydride grafted poly[styrene-b-(ethylene-co-butylene)-b-styrene] (SEBS-g-MA) triblock copolymer solutions containing calcium carbonate (CaCO3) particles. SEBS-g-MA solutions were prepared using single solvent (toluene and tetrahydrofuran (THF)) and mixed solvent (toluene: ethanol (EtOH) and THF: EtOH). Cotton fabrics were treated with the prepared solution using padding technique. All coated fabrics exhibited a water contact angle (WCA) of more than 100°. Optimum WCA values were observed when THF and 90:10 toluene: EtOH were employed. In case of CaCO3 particles addition, 6% W/V CaCO3 could impart the highest WCA value of 154°. However, the durability of …

Pickling Behavior Of Aisi 304 Stainless Steel In Sulfuric And Hydrochloric Acid Solutions, W Homjabok, S Permpoon, G Lothongkum
Journal of Metals, Materials and Minerals
Oxide scales as well as a Cr-depleted layer, which grows between the oxide scale and base metal, are formed on AISI 304 stainless steel surface during high temperature processing. Pickling is an important process which includes mechanical and chemical operations to remove oxide scales, Cr-depleted layers, and to recover the surface passivity. The multi-step pickling is commonly used because of its higher efficiency than a single step pickling. In this study, the multi-step pickling of AISI 304 stainless steel in HCl solution was investigated instead of H2SO4 solution for the first step of pickling. HF+HNO3 mixed acid is traditionally used …
