The corrosion properties of the passive layers formed on iron-nickel-chromium electrodeposits of Fe29Ni51Cr20 were investigated in 0.3 M borate solution at a‘ pH of 8.4. On the basis of measurements by cyclic voltammetry, chronopotentiometry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, a low passive dissolution/corrosion rate was identified for the electrodeposited Fe-Ni-Cr alloys due to the nature of the established corrosion layer. The stability of this passive layer was further enhanced after corrosion under oxidizing conditions. Mössbauer spectroscopic measurements confirmed the existence of a thin passive layer on the amorphous electrodeposits. [...]
The corrosion inhibition behaviour of 1-Ethyl-3-methylimidazolium-methanesulphonate (EMIM[MS]) and 1-Ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate (EMIM[Ac]) on API 5LX-52 carbon steel in 2 M HCl was investigated using weight loss, potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance methods. The corrosion rates of carbon steel decreased in the presence of these ionic liquids. The inhibition efficiencies of the compounds increased with concentration and showed a marginal decrease with a 10°C increase in temperature. Polarization studies showed the compounds to be mixed type inhibitors with stronger anodic character. The adsorption mechanism of both compounds on the metal surface was via physical adsorption and the process obeyed the El-Awardy kinetic-thermodynamic model. The associated activation energy of corrosion and other thermodynamic parameters were calculated to elaborate on the thermodynamics and mechanism of the corrosion inhibition process. EMIM[MS] was found to inhibit the corrosion of carbon steel better than EMIM[Ac] and is attributed to the presence of the highly electronegative sulphur atom in its structure and its larger molecular size.

A strange effect was observed while using the method of quasi-simultaneous determination of electrochemical voltage noise and impedance to obtain information on the kinetics of the hydrogen evolution reaction on Ag and Cu microelectrodes. Beyond a certain polarizing current density we found microvolt-amplitude potential oscillations on both electrodes with a frequency in the 5 Hz–5 kHz range. The oscillations were observed in every single experiment with Ag and Cu, while no oscillatory behavior was observed during the control experiments with the Pt microelectrode. The presence of the oscillations indicates that the mechanism of hydrogen evolution is more complex compared to the original assumption. [...]
Nifedipine, a pyridine derivative was investigated as corrosion inhibitor for API 5L X-52 steel in 2 M HCl solution by potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculations. Statistical tools were used to compare results of the experimental methods. The results showed that nifedipine is capable of inhibiting the corrosion of API 5L X-52 steel in 2 M HCl solution. Potentiodynamic polarization results reveal that nifedipine functions as a mixed-type inhibitor and presents an inhibition efficiency of about 78% at 500 ppm. Impedance data reveal an increasing charge transfer resistance with increasing inhibitor concentration and also shows comparable inhibition efficiency of about 89-94% at 500 ppm. Thermodynamic parameters imply that nifedipine is adsorbed on the steel surface by a physiochemical process and obeys Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The calculated molecular properties namely the highest occupied molecular orbital energy, lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy, chemical hardness, energy gap, dipole moment, electronegativity and global nucleophilicity index all show a positive relationship to the observed corrosion inhibition efficiency.
This paper presents problems associated with corrosion of steel stacks and changes in philosophy of corrosion protection when implemented into flue gas desulphurization systems. In-situ tests were taken by means of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy at a stack which discharges flue gas before wet lime/limestone desulphurization. A very rapid soaking of spherical infill vinylester coating with electrolyte has been observed. Based on the Brasher - Kingsbury equation and data obtained from impedance spectra water content in the tested coating has been calculated.

Przedstawiono podstawowe problemy związane z korozją kominów stalowych oraz zmiany w filozofii zabezpieczenia ich przed korozją, gdy system zawiera instalację odsiarczania spalin. Wykonano badania terenowe metodą elektrochemicznej spektroskopii impedancyjnej w kominie odprowadzającym gazy po odsiarczaniu metodą mokrą wapniakowo-wapienną. Stwierdzono bardzo szybkie nasiąkanie elektrolitem powłoki winyloestrowej z wypełnieniem o kształcie kulistym. Na podstawie równania Brashera-Kingsbury i wyznaczonych na podstawie uzyskanych widm impedancyjnych obliczono zawartość wody w badanej powłoce.
Analysis of voltammograms, chronoamperograms and electrochemical impedance spectra (0.05÷4000 Hz) indicate a slow stage of chemisorption of sulfite ions that reduces an active surface of gold electrode, and significantly influences a parallel stage of charge transfer of gold(I)-sulfite complexes. The proposed equivalent circuit representing electrochemical process well fits to experimental dependencies of real and imaginary parts of impedance on frequency. Values of elements of equivalent circuit at different potentials of gold electrode (0.1÷-0.5 V) were calculated. Cathodic voltammogram simulated by using the dependencies of elements of equivalent circuit on electrode potential rather well represents experimentally obtained voltammograms.
