Effect of Pulse Current Micro Plasma Arc Welding Parameters on Pitting Corrosion Rate of AISI 316Ti Sheets in 3.5 N NaCl Medium
Abstract: Austenitic stainless steel sheets are used for fabrication of components, which require high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance such as metal bellows used in expansion joints in aircraft, aerospace and petroleum industries. When they are exposed to seawater after welding they are subjected to corrosion as there are changes in properties of the base metal after welding. The corrosion rate depends on the chemical composition of the base metal and …

Investigation on pitting corrosion rate of Micro Plasma Arc Welded Titanium (Ti-6Al-4V) alloy sheets in KBr solution using TOPSIS
Abstract: Titanium is having good anti-corrosion properties in both basic and acidic medium. However, when it is subjected to severer heating processing like welding, there is a possibility of corrosion formation at the weld joint. In the present work Pulsed current MPAW is used for joining 0.5 mm thick Titanium (Ti-6Al-4V) alloy sheets. Peak Current, Base Current, Pulse Rate and Pulse Width are considered as input parameters and fusion zone corrosion …

Optimizating Pitting Corrosion in 3.5 N NaCl Medium of Pulsed Current Micro Plasma Arc Welded AISI 304L Sheets Using Genetic Algorithm
Abstract: Austenitic stainless steel sheets have gathered wide acceptance in the fabrication of components, which require high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance, such as metal bellows used in expansion joints in aircraft, aerospace and petroleum industry. In case of single pass welding of thinner sections of this alloy, pulsed current micro plasma arc welding (PCMPAW) was found beneficial due to its advantages over the conventional continuous current process. This paper highlights …

Monitoring the Effectiveness of Water-Based Plants for the Inhibition of Metal
Abstract: The temperature performance profile of the plant extracts shows that inhibition efficiency increased with increasing temperature of the system until at about 323K at 9.00hrs immersion time where a decline in inhibition efficiency occurred implying the opposite at higher temperatures and longer immersion time. Corrosion rate parameters changed with rise in temperature and exposure – immersion time. Plots of rates of corrosion against the volume(s) of the test inhibitor(s) in …

Corrosion and Corrosion Protection of Unio in Carbonic Acid Medium
Abstract: Unio is a calciferous animal, and its outer surface is made of calcium carbonate. It usually happens in sources of sweet water. They create carbonic acid by absorbing carbon dioxide. It changes the pH of sweet water sources thus water becomes acidic. It develops corrosive environment for Unio. Carbonic acid interacts with Unio to form corrosion cells on the interface of Unio. This acid oxidizes calcium carbonate into calcium ions …

Influence of Mechanical Parameters on Corrosion Behavior of Metal Coupons in Simulated Environmental Conditions
Abstract: This study investigates the influence of mechanical parameters—namely applied stress, surface roughness, and deformation history—on the corrosion behavior of metal coupons exposed to corrosive environments. Mild steel and aluminum alloy specimens were prepared with controlled variations in tensile stress, polishing grades, and cold-working levels to simulate real-world mechanical influences. These coupons were immersed in a 3.5% NaCl solution under ambient conditions, and their corrosion rates were monitored over a 30-day …

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 …

Polymeric Coating Applied for Corrosion Protection of Mild Steel in Corrosive Medium
Abstract: Mild steel is coated with a polymer layer of polybutadiene for protection. However, this coating does not effectively safeguard the metal in environments containing moisture, sulphur dioxide, or chloride. These pollutants interact with the polybutadiene-coated surface, creating a highly corrosive atmosphere. Moisture condenses on the coated metal surface and absorbs sulphur dioxide, forming sulphuric acid. This acid initiates both chemical and electrochemical reactions with the polymer-coated metal, accelerating the corrosion …
