Review of Nitrite Inhibitor for Protection of Rebar Corrosion
Abstract: Load bearing concrete structures need steel reinforcement (rebar) strips or rods, which are prone to attack by the corrosive environment inside the concrete due to constant ingress of moisture, pollutant gases and anions (mainly Cl-, SO4- -). One of the means of reducing such type of corrosion is the use of inhibitors. Inhibitors are water soluble but film forming on metals by their selective adsorption on the metal surface. These …

Corrosion Testing and Evaluation of Inhibitors Performance
Abstract: Choosing test methods that will analyze specific needs, like film barrier strength that real field settings is essential for the proper evaluation and development of inhibitors. The flowing loop and the bubble test are two examples of the first and second, respectively. Corrosion is measured by gravimetric, electrical noise, alternating-current impedance, potentiodynamic measurement, linear polarization and gravimetric. The inhibitors action can be analyzed in different corrosive environments. Their performance is …

Comprehensive Strategies for Enhancing Corrosion Protection of Concrete Structures
Abstract: The global issue of reinforcing steel corrosion in concrete structures presents a significant challenge, resulting in surface cracking, discoloration, spalling, and ultimately compromising structural integrity. The considerable expenses associated with addressing extensively deteriorated sections, coupled with the uncertainty of completely resolving the underlying corrosion issue due to potential intrinsic structural vulnerabilities, presents further multifarious problem. This article offers a comprehensive and systematic exploration of the corrosion triggers in concrete structures. …

Effect of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) in Somatosensory Evoked Potential (SSEP) in Normal Adolescents
Abstract: tDCS is a noninvasive brain stimulation technique in which a mild electrical direct current is applied through the scalp to send electrical impulses to the brain to increase or decrease the excitability in the neurons. Weak transcranial direct current stimulation can induce long lasting changes in cortical excitability. The electrodiagnostic approaches like Motor Evoked Potentials (MEP), Somato Sensory Evoked Potential (SSEP) and electromyography are used to measure the effect of …

Electrochemical Evaluation of Corrosion Behavior in Industrial Alloys Under Acidic and Marine Conditions
Abstract: Corrosion represents a spontaneous physicochemical transformation in which metals revert to their more stable thermodynamic state, typically oxides, hydroxides, or sulfides, as a result of interaction with environmental elements. Rather than being a simple surface reaction, corrosion is a complex electrochemical phenomenon that significantly influences the durability, reliability, and performance of metallic structures across industrial, marine, and domestic sectors. The consequences extend beyond material degradation, contributing to substantial economic losses, …

Evaluating Novel Inhibitor Pigment Blends using Electrochemical Scanning Techniques (EIS, SVET and SKP)
Abstract: AbstractOne of the main applications coming to the fore for scanning vibrating electrode technique (SVET) and scanning Kelvin probe (SKP) systems is ability to look at inhibitor combinations, which could be used to replace chromates in coil-coated galvanized steels. The results are very promising using the SVET system and results with the SKP system also show results to be comparable with the SVET system. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is also …

Aluminum and its Alloys to Recover from Corrosive Weather
Abstract: Corrosion is defined as deterioration of material, usually metal, because of reaction with its environment and which requires presence of an anode, a cathode, an electrolyte and an electrical circuit. Aluminum and its alloys are reactive to weather of exposure, e.g. ambient, acid and alkalis. Solid to pigments are prevented from corrosion by using inhibitors. Organic inhibitors are ever praised due to non-toxic performances. Basic processes are surface adsorption to …
