Item Corrosion behaviour of 18%Ni M250 grade maraging steel under welded condition in hydrochloric acid medium(2013) Kumar, P.; Nityananda Shetty, A.N.The corrosion behaviour of welded maraging steel in hydrochloric acid solutions was studied over a range of acid concentration and solution temperature by electrochemical techniques like Tafel extrapolation method and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The corrosion rate of welded maraging steel increases with the increase in temperature and concentration of hydrochloric acid in the medium. The energies of activation, enthalpy of activation and entropy of activation for the corrosion process were calculated. The surface morphology of the corroded sample was evaluated by surface examination using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS).Item Electrochemical investigation on the corrosion of 18%Ni M250 grade maraging steel under welded condition in sulfuric acid medium(2013) Kumar, P.; Nityananda Shetty, A.N.The corrosion behavior of welded maraging steel in sulfuric acid solutions has been studied over a range of acid concentrations and solution temperatures by electrochemical techniques such as Tafel extrapolation and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The studies have revealed that the corrosion rate of welded maraging steel increases with the increase in temperature and increase in concentration of sulfuric acid in the medium. The thermodynamic parameters such as activation energy, enthalpy of activation and entropy of activation for the corrosion process are calculated. The results obtained through the two techniques are in good agreement. The surface morphology and surface composition of the corroded samples have been examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis, respectively. © 2013 Allerton Press, Inc.Item Corrosion inhibition effect of 2,5-bis (3,4,5-trimethoxy phenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (BTPO) on 18 Ni M250 grade welded maraging steel in 1.0 M sulphuric acid medium(Mohammed Premier University jmaterenvironsci@gmail.com, 2014) Kumar, P.; Nityananda Shetty, A.N.Corrosion inhibition of welded maraging steel in 1.0 M sulphuric acid was studied in the presence of different concentrations of 2,5-bis (3,4,5-trimethoxy phenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (BTPO) by electrochemical techniques. The results confided that BTPO was a good inhibitor, and the inhibition efficiencies obtained from potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance methods were in good agreement. The inhibitor, BTPO, acted essentially as a mixed-type inhibitor with its inhibition action through its surface adsorption. The inhibition effciency was found to increase with the increase in BTPO concentration but decreased with the increase in temperature. The activation parameters for the corrosion of the alloy and thermodynamic parameters for the adsorption of BTPO on the alloy surface were calculated and discussed. The adsorption of BTPO on welded maraging steel surface was predominantly through physisorption and obeyed the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) study confirmed the formation of an anticorrosion protective film of BTPO on the metal surface.Item Inhibition effect of adsorption layer of 1-phenyl-4-(4-nitrophenyl) thiosemicarbazide on the corrosion of 18 Ni 250-grade welded maraging steel in 1.0 M hydrochloric acid medium(Kluwer Academic Publishers, 2015) Kumar, P.; Nityananda Shetty, A.N.The thiosemicarbazide derivative, 1-phenyl-4-(4-nitrophenyl)thiosemicarbazide (PNPT), was synthesized and its inhibiting action on the corrosion of welded maraging steel in 1.0 M hydrochloric acid was investigated by electrochemical methods of potentiodynamic (Tafel) polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The inhibitor, PNPT, acted essentially as a mixed-type inhibitor with predominant cathodic action. The inhibition efficiency increased with the increase in inhibitor concentration. An inhibition efficiency of about 86 % was exhibited at 30 °C, which decreased with the increase in the temperature. The adsorption of the inhibitor layer formed was through predominant physical adsorption process. © 2014 Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht.
