Item Corrosion of ECAPed magnesium alloys and its background: A Review(Chulalognkorn University, 2019) Naik, G.M.; SannaYellappa, N.; Kumar, S.S.S.The aim of this review article is to provide a brief mechanistic overview of magnesium alloys, equal channel angular pressing and corrosion behavior of un-ECAPed and ECAPed Mg alloys. The considerate of the corrosion processes of ECAPed Mg alloys builds upon interpretation of the corrosion of fine-grain magnesium alloys. This provides an understanding of the effect of grain size on corrosion of Mg alloys. This deep understanding is essential as a foundation if we are to produce corrosion-resistant magnesium alloys. Considerable has previously been accomplished, but there is enormous scope for development. This present concise review can provide a foundation for further, much desirable research. © 2019 Chulalognkorn University.Item Recent progress in equal channel angular pressing of magnesium alloys starting from Segal's idea to advancements till date – A review(KeAi Publishing Communications Ltd., 2023) Sekar, S.; Naik, G.M.; Narendranath, S.; Desai, V.Lightweight materials with high strength and ductility have immense potential in revolutionizing the automobile, aerospace, bio-medical and defence sector. Magnesium and its alloys are the candidates that are best suited for application in above mentioned sectors. However, achieving combination of properties such as high strength, good ductility and relatively better corrosion resistance in Mg alloys is still challenging. Indeed, equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) is one of the promising techniques that simultaneously enhances the mechanical properties and corrosion behaviour. In this review, an effort has been made to address the influence of ECAP on microstructure, mechanical properties, corrosion and galvanic corrosion of magnesium and its alloys. The reason for deviation of Mg alloys from Hall Petch relation is clarified. The necessity of tailoring the microstructure of Mg alloys in order to achieve desired properties is elucidated. In addition, the recommendations and future directions derived from summary and outlook of review are critiqued. © 2022 The AuthorsItem The inhibiting effect of N-furfuryl-N?-phenyl thiourea (FPTU) on the corrosion of mild steel in aqueous solutions of 0.05 and 0.1MHCl, as well as 0.025 and 0.05 M H2SO4 has been demonstrated using the potentiodynamic polarization technique. The polarization data showed that FPTU acts as an efficient anodic inhibitor for mild steel in both acid solutions. Avery high inhibition efficiency was evidenced in both acid solutions and it was found to vary with the concentration of the inhibitor and temperature. The obtained kinetic parameters of adsorption revealed spontaneous adsorption and a strong interaction of FPTU with the mild steel surface.(Serbian Chemical Society, The inhibition action of N-furfuryl-N?-phenyl thiourea on the corrosion of mild steel in acid media) Shetty, S.D.; Shetty, P.; Nayak, H.V.S.2006Item Development of Zn-Co alloy coatings by pulsed current from chloride bath(2008) Thangaraj, V.; Udayashankar, N.K.; Hegde, A.Zinc-M (where M = Ni, Co and Fe) alloy is of great interest owing to their better mechanical and corrosion properties compared with pure zinc coatings. Corrosion resistance of Zn-Co alloy coatings can be improved considerably by pulse plating. The paper details the optimization of Zn-Co alloy bath using pulsed current and details the superiority of pulse plating over direct current plating. Electroplating of Zn-Co alloys over mild steel was carried out under different conditions of pulse parameters like duty cycle, frequency and peak current density. The production and properties of the deposits were found to be influenced by pulse parameters employed. Within the ranges studied, the bath follows anomalous codeposition with preferential deposition of less noble zinc. The influence of current density on %wt. of Co in the deposit and cathode current efficiencies was studied. It was observed that the deposit at average current density of 5.0 A.dm-2, 50% duty cycle and 100 Hz frequency showed excellent corrosion resistance with fine structure. The peak performance of pulse electrodeposit against corrosion was attributed to the change in the surface homogeneity as evidenced by scanning electron microscope (SEM) image. The drastic decrease of corrosion rate in pulse electrodeposit was attributed to the formation of semiconductor films on the surface as supported by impedance spectroscopy signals.Item Corrosion behavior of composition modulated multilayer Zn-Co electrodeposits produced using a single-bath technique(2009) Thangaraj, V.; Eliaz, N.; Hegde, A.Composition modulated alloy (CMA) electrodeposits of Zn-Co were produced from acid chloride baths by the single-bath technique. Their corrosion behavior was evaluated as a function of the switched cathode current densities and the number of layers. The process was optimized with respect to the highest corrosion resistance. Enhanced corrosion resistance was obtained when the outer layer was slightly richer with cobalt. At the optimum switched current densities 40/55 mA cm-2, a coating with 600 layers showed ~6 times higher corrosion resistance than monolithic Zn-Co electrodeposit having the same thickness. The CMA coating exhibited red rust only after 1,130 h in a salt-spray test. The increased corrosion resistance of the multilayer alloys was related to their inherent barrier properties, as revealed by Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy. The corrosion resistance was explained in terms of n-type semiconductor films at the interface as supported by Mott-Schottky plots. © 2008 Springer Science+Business Media B.V.Item Corrosion behaviour of 6061 Al - 15vol. Pct. SiC composite and its base alloy in a mixture of 1:1 Hydrochloric and sulphuric acid medium(2009) Geetha, G.M.; Nayak, J.; Nityananda Shetty, A.N.Silicon carbide particulate - reinforced aluminum (SiCp-Al) composites possess a unique combination of high specific strength, high elastic modulus, good wear resistance and good thermal stability than the corresponding non-reinforced matrix alloy systems. These composites are potential structural material for aerospace and automotive applications. The corrosion characteristics of 6061 Al/SiCp composite and the base alloy were experimentally assessed. The corrosion test was carried out at different temperatures in 1:1 mixture of hydrochloric acid and sulphuric acid at a concentration range of 0.01 to 1N for each of the acid, as corrosion media using Tafel extrapolation technique and Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results obtained from Tafel extrapolation technique and Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were in good agreement. The results showed an increase in the corrosion rate with increases in temperature as well as the increase in the concentration of the corrosion media. The thermodynamic parameters like energy of activation were calculated using Arrhenius theory equation and, enthalpy of activation and entropy of activation were calculated using transition state theory equation. © 2009 by ESG.Item The inhibition action of ethyl-2-phenyl hydrozono-3-oxobutyrate on the corrosion of 6061 Al alloy/SiCp composite in hydrochloric acid medium(Sociedad Chilena de Quimica, 2010) Kini U, U.A.; Shetty, P.; Shetty, S.D.; Isloor, A.M.; Herle, R.The inhibition behavior of ethyl-2-phenyl hydrozono-3-oxobutyrate on the corrosion of 6061 Al alloy/SiCp composite in 0.1, 0.5 and 1 N hydrochloric acid solution at four different temperatures (30-60 °C) has been investigated using potentiostatic polarization techniques and weight loss method. The results indicated that the corrosion inhibition efficiency and the extent of surface coverage were increased with the increase in inhibitor concentration up to a critical concentration. The adsorption of the inhibitor compound on the composite surface was found to obey Temkins' and Langmuir adsorption isotherms. The potentiostatic polarization results have revealed that oxobutyrate acts as an efficient cathodic inhibitor for the corrosion of 6061 Al alloy/SiCp composite in HCl medium. The thermodynamic parameters for the corrosion and adsorption processes were determined. © 2010.Item Performance evaluation of rebar in accelerated corrosion by gravimetric loss method(2012) Shetty, A.; Venkataramana, K.; Gogoi, I.Corrosion of concrete occurs due to chloride ingress into concrete and is a major cause of steel corrosion. Rebar corrosion in concrete is one of the major problems in the durability criteria. This paper explains, experimental investigations carried out on smaller specimens for evaluating the performance of two types of cement with three types of rebar by gravimetric method. From the results of gravimetric loss obtained by different types of steel with different types of concrete, it is concluded that blended cement, i.e. PPC performs better compared to OPC against accelerated rebar corrosion in concrete. Amongst steel types, CTD steel resulted in higher gravimetric loss compared to MS followed by TMT steel. © 2012 Cafet-Innova Technical Society.

Electrochemical measurements were carried out using the potentiodynamic polarization technique and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results showed an increase in the corrosion rate with the increases in temperature as well with increase in the concentration of the corrosion medium. The results obtained from the Tafel extrapolation technique and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were in good agreement. Activation parameters were evaluated using the Arrhenius equation and transition state equation. The surface morphology of the corroded specimen was compared with that of the un-corroded sample by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). © 2012 Copyright Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.Item A study on corrosion behavior of electrodeposited Zn-rutile TiO2 composite coatings(2012) Kumar, M.K.P.; Venkatesha, T.V.; Pavithra, M.K.; Shetty, A.The Zn and Zn-TiO2 composite coatings were fabricated by electrolyzing respective plating solutions of Zn and Zn-TiO2. The rutile TiO2 nanoparticles (size ?100nm) were used for the preparation of composite coatings. The corrosion behavior of the deposits was examined by electrochemical methods. The anticorrosive property of coatings was supported by measuring their corrosion potential, polarization resistance, charge transfer characteristic peak and break frequency. The surface morphology of deposits was studied by scanning electron microscopy, energydispersive X-ray diffraction spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction techniques. The change in morphology of Zn-TiO2 composite with respect to Zn is correlated with their corrosion behavior. Copyright © Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
