Study Of Localized Corrosion Of Metals By Using The Electrochemical Techniques With Spatial Resolution, Chang-Jian Lin, Xiang-Dong Zhuo, Zu-De Feng, Rong-Gui Du, Zhao-Wu Tian

Journal of Electrochemistry

The electrochemical inhomogeneities at interface of metal/solution play an important and often controlling role in localized corrosion of metals. The traditional electrochemical techniques involving potential, current density or ac impedance measurements over bulk specimens can only provide average and general information of the interface. Thus, the development of in situ imaging techniques is essential for further characterizing electrochemical inhomogeneities at the metal/solution interface of localized corrosion system. The electrochemical techniques with spatial resolution,including scanning single micro electrode, scanning double micro electrodse and scanning micro chemical probes are reviewed. The effects of electrochemical inhomogeneities on the corrosion behavior, and the mechanism …

Study On The Mechanism Of Ni/Zro2 Composite Electrodeposition, Qun-Jia Peng, Dao-Bin Mu, Ju-Sheng Ma, Xiang-Yun Tang

Journal of Electrochemistry

The effects of cathodic current density and amount of particle dispersion in solution on the codeposition of Ni/ZrO2 composite in Watts bath were studied, and the machanism of the composite electrodeposition was investigated. The study shows that the composite electrodeposition is controlled by the transfer of particles to the cathode when the dispersion amount is small, causing the decrease of the codeposition with the increase of current density. With large amount dispersion, the composite electrodeposition is first controlled by the strong adsorption of particles on the cathode at low current density, resulting in the increase of the codeposition with …

Journal of Electrochemistry

The micro galvanic corrosion of 1Cr18 alloy and its effects on the triboelectrochemical behavior were investigated and analyzed in this article. It is shown that the micro galvanic corroson is due to the electrochemical inhomogenity on the surface of the alloy during the friction process. Like galvanic corrosion,the micro galvanic corrosion behaviors are greatly affected by the area ratio of unrubbed to rubbed surface.The load effects on electrochemical behavior of 1Cr18 alloy are also attributed to existence of electrochemical inhomogenity on the surface of materal.
