Corrosion Protection Mechanisms Of Trivalent Chromium Based Passivations On Γ-Znni Coated Al6061-T6 Alloy, Kevin Foster Jan 2022

Corrosion Protection Mechanisms Of Trivalent Chromium Based Passivations On Γ-Znni Coated Al6061-T6 Alloy, Kevin Foster

Doctoral Dissertations

“The role of cobalt in trivalent chromium passivations (TCPs) to improve corrosion resistance of γ-ZnNi coated steel and aluminum is based on its effect on hexavalent chromium content in the passive layer. Investigations of both a cobalt-containing and cobalt-free TCP on SAE 1008 steel indicated that both passivations protect well for up to 1000 hours in neutral salt spray exposure (SSE). A repetition on Al 6061-T6 alloy indicated that TCP performed much better than cobalt-free TCP implicating the underlying substrate. Optical and electron micrographs indicated physical changes such as crack thickness, crack density, passivation porosity, and passivation thickness existed between …


The Effect Of Antimony And Cobalt On The Current Efficiency And The Grain Orientation Of Deposits During The Electrolysis Of A Zinc Sulfate Solution, Samuel A. Worcester May 1957

The Effect Of Antimony And Cobalt On The Current Efficiency And The Grain Orientation Of Deposits During The Electrolysis Of A Zinc Sulfate Solution, Samuel A. Worcester

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

Preparation of solutions and apparatus and experimental procedure was described. The effect of antimony and cobalt in a zinc sulfate electrolyte upon current efficiency with increasing time was determined by the hydrogen evolution method. The degree of preferred orientation of grains in the electrodeposits was determined by the reflection method of X-ray diffraction.


The Electrolytic Purification Of An Impure Cadmium Sulfate Solution With A Cell Utilizing A Mercury Cathode And A Lead Anode, W. D. Mcmaster May 1951

The Electrolytic Purification Of An Impure Cadmium Sulfate Solution With A Cell Utilizing A Mercury Cathode And A Lead Anode, W. D. Mcmaster

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

Cadmium is produced solely as a by-product and all cadmium of commerce is obtained from zinc ores. It is a rare occurrence when zinc deposits are found which do not contain some cadmium.


An Investigation Of The Precipitation Of Cobalt With Zinc Dust, Lyle Hallberg May 1949

An Investigation Of The Precipitation Of Cobalt With Zinc Dust, Lyle Hallberg

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

Cobalt, as well as copper, cadmium, and other impurities, is removed by selective precipitation with zinc during the zinc electrolyte purification cycle, and the purification residue may be treated by a Cadmium Plant for the recovery of cadmium.


The Electrodeposition Of Copper-Cobalt Alloys, Richard L. Dunn Oct 1944

The Electrodeposition Of Copper-Cobalt Alloys, Richard L. Dunn

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

An attempt was made to deposit a 50:50 copper-cobalt alloy from various sulfate electrolytes. No true 50:50 alloy was obtained but various mixtures of cobalt and copper rich crystals were deposited.


Some Preliminary Investiagtions Of The Magnetic Permeabilities Of Alloys Of The Ferromagnetic Metals, John H. Gambill Jr. May 1941

Some Preliminary Investiagtions Of The Magnetic Permeabilities Of Alloys Of The Ferromagnetic Metals, John H. Gambill Jr.

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

The problem presented for this thesis was an investigation of the magnetic properties of the alloys produced by the methods of powder metallurgy. The question behind this was the correlation of the magnetic properties with the bonding properties and with the diffusion of the constituents.


The Measurement Of Current Efficiency In Zinc Sulphate Electrolytes Containing Antimony And Cobalt By Hydrogen Evolution, Arthur R. Hard May 1940

The Measurement Of Current Efficiency In Zinc Sulphate Electrolytes Containing Antimony And Cobalt By Hydrogen Evolution, Arthur R. Hard

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

The measurement of current efficiency by hydrogen evolution is based on the assumption that the portion of the current which deposits no zinc will release hydrogen. This assumption is correct for solutions containing no impurities electropositive to zinc.
