Nanometer-thick passive films on metals usually impart remarkable resistance to general corrosion but are susceptible localized attack in certain aggressive media, leading material failure with pronounced adverse economic and safety consequences. Over the past decades, several classic theories have been proposed accepted, based hypotheses theoretical models, oftentimes, not sufficiently nor directly corroborated by experimental evidence. Here we show results structure of film formed a...

Nanometer-thick passive films, which impart superior corrosion resistance to metals, are degraded in long-term service; they also susceptible chloride-induced localized attack. Here we show, by engineering crystallographic configurations upon metal matrices adjacent their obtain great enhancement of FeCr15Ni15 single crystal sulphuric acid, with activation time up two orders magnitude longer than that the non-engineered counterparts. Meanwhile, crystallography decreases current density and...

The corrosion behavior of 2A02 Al alloy under 4 mg/cm² NaCl deposition at different temperatures (from 30 to 80 °C) has been studied. This was researched using mass-gain, scanning electron microscopy-SEM, laser confocal microscopy-LSCM, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy-XPS and other techniques. results showed revealed that the maximal 60 °C after 200 h exposure. increase temperature not only affected solubility oxygen gas in thin film, but also promoted transport ions (such as Cl-),...

The extract from the seeds of Aframomum Melegueta (AM) was investigated as corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in aerated 1 M HCl and 0.5 H2SO4 solutions using gravimetric electrochemical techniques. AM found to inhibit both cathodic anodic partial reactions process, via adsorption organic matter on metal/solution interface, described by Langmuir well Flory-Huggins isotherms. Corrosion rates all systems studied increased with rise temperature. Increasing temperature system enhanced inhibition...

Abstract Compression ignition engines/diesel engines release greenhouse gases like particulate matter (PM), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NO x ), and, unburnt hydrocarbons which pose environmental and human health risks. Water‐in‐diesel emulsion (WiDE) has emerged as a cost‐effective alternative fuel for reducing the emission of these in diesel engines. This paper reviews effectiveness using to reduce harmful emissions well challenges associated with WiDE, include stability...
