Atmospheric pollutants in the air form acid rain which interacts with bronze surfaces exposed urban outdoor environment. In this study, different types of patinas on were investigated during and after 9 years exposure to environment moderately polluted continental city. Natural patina artificial brown sulphide, green chloride, green-blue nitrate investigated. Visual assessment was carried out at defined periods. After exposure, an electrochemical study performed investigate activity rain....
In the present work, electrochemical noise (EN) was measured in three different types of experimental set-ups order to obtain and compare various corrosion. Simultaneously with EN measurements, a parallel technique used, regarding type set-up: computer visualization system combined optical microscopy, or measurements mechanical changes. distinguish between these corrosion assess rate, signals were analysed by two techniques: spectral statistical. On basis estimated significant parameters...
Abstract Electrochemical voltage and current noise (EN) were measured simultaneously with acoustic emission (AE) during intergranular stress‐corrosion cracking (IGSCC) on tensile specimens under a constant load. The elongation of the test was also continuously tests, as an additional measuring technique. made from sensitized stainless steel type 304, immersed in aqueous solution sodium thiosulphate. main aim our work to find out how successfully IGSCC processes could be detected by...
Abstract The high temperature corrosion at 650°C in the presence of NaCl atmospheric pressure AISI 304L, 309, 310S, 314 and 321 austenitic stainless steel was studied. specimens were cyclically heated furnace immersed a 3.5% aqueous solution after cooling for 15 min. After each cycle, change mass samples measured. corroded analysed by SEM /EDX, products XRD. chloride ions react with surface to form porous poorly adherent oxides metal chlorides. increase during first exposure cycles, spalling...
The characteristics of electrochemical noise generated by stress-corrosion cracking have been examined and compared to those during pitting uniform corrosion. Potential current were measured in a freely corroding system consisting three electrodes made from single specimen AISI 302 stainless steel, aqueous solutions with different concentrations chlorides an added acid, at raised temperature. A computer visualisation technique was also applied the tests, using optical microscope. In order...
Abstract Electrochemical voltage and current noise were measured during Slow-Rate-Load-Tensile (SRLT) tests on specimens made from two qualities of austenitic stainless steel type 304: non-sensitized sensitized. A highly aggressive medium (a diluted aqueous solution sodium thiocyanate), a non-aggressive (de-ionised water) used as electrolytes. During the experiments, characteristic simultaneous electrochemical mechanical transients observed after yield point had been reached. Two different...
