    Electrochemical corrosion study of Mg-Al-Zn-Mn alloy in aqueous ethylene glycol containing chloride ions
    (Elsevier Editora Ltda, 2017) Medhashree, H.; Nityananda Shetty, A.N.
    Nowadays most of the automobiles use magnesium alloys in the components of the engine coolant systems. These engine coolants used are mainly composed of aqueous ethylene glycol along with some inhibitors. Generally the engine coolants are contaminated by environmental anions like chlorides, which would enhance the rate of corrosion of the alloys used in the coolant system. In the present study, the corrosion behavior of Mg-Al-Zn-Mn alloy in 30% (v/v) aqueous ethylene glycol containing chloride anions at neutral pH was investigated. Electrochemical techniques, such as potentiodynamic polarization method, cyclic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were used to study the corrosion behavior of Mg-Al-Zn-Mn alloy. The surface morphology, microstructure and surface composition of the alloy were studied by using the scanning electron microscopy (SEM), optical microscopy and energy dispersion X-ray (EDX) analysis, respectively. Electrochemical investigations show that the rate of corrosion increases with the increase in chloride ion concentration and also with the increase in medium temperature. © 2016 Brazilian Metallurgical, Materials and Mining Association.

    Synergistic inhibition effect of trisodium phosphate and sodium benzoate with sodium dodecyl benzene sulphonate on the corrosion of Mg-Al-Zn-Mn alloy in 30% ethylene glycol containing chloride ions
    (Taylor and Francis Ltd. michael.wagreich@univie.ac.at, 2019) Medhashree, H.; Nityananda Shetty, A.N.
    The enhanced efficiency of the sodium dodecyl benzene sulphonate (SDBS) by the addition of trisodium phosphate and sodium benzoate on the corrosion inhibition of Mg-Al-Zn-Mn alloy in aqueous ethylene glycol solution (30%) containing chloride ions was studied by potentiodynamic polarization technique and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy method. The combination of SDBS with trisodium phosphate and sodium benzoate resulted in synergistic effects on the inhibition efficiency. The inhibition efficiencies decreased with the increase in the medium temperature. The mixture of inhibitors acted predominantly as anodic types and the adsorption of the inhibitors on the surface of the alloy obeyed Langmuir adsorption isotherm. © 2018, © 2018 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.
