    Studies on corrosion of Mg-Al-Zn alloy in 30% aqueous ethylene glycol
    (Trans Tech Publications Ltd ttp@transtec.ch, 2015) Medhashree, H.; Nityananda Shetty, A.
    The Mg-Al-Zn alloy is used in the coolant systems of automobile engines. Corrosion of Mg-Al-Zn engine components by coolants, which consist of 30% aqueous ethylene glycol as a coolant composition, is an important issue in automobile industries. With this preview, in the present study it is intended to study the effect of environmental contaminant sulphate ions on the corrosion behavior of Mg-Al-Zn alloy in 30% (v/v) aqueous ethylene glycol solution. Electrochemical investigations were carried out by potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy techniques. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersion X-ray analysis (EDX) were used to study the surface morphology and composition of the alloy. Activation parameters for the corrosion process were calculated by conducting the corrosion studies at different temperatures. It was observed that corrosion rate of the alloy in 30% (v/v) aqueous ethylene glycol increases with the increase in the concentration of sulphate ions and also with the increase in temperature. © (2015) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.

    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.

    Electrochemical investigation on the effects of sulfate ion concentration, temperature and medium pH on the corrosion behavior of Mg–Al–Zn–Mn alloy in aqueous ethylene glycol
    (National Engg. Reaserch Center for Magnesium Alloys zhangdingfei@cqu.edu.cn, 2017) Medhashree, H.; Nityananda Shetty, A.N.
    The effects of sulfate ion concentration, temperature and medium pH on the corrosion of Mg–Al–Zn–Mn alloy in 30% aqueous ethylene glycol solution have been investigated by electrochemical techniques such as potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy methods. Surface morphology of the alloy was examined before and after immersing in the corrosive media by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersion X-ray (EDX) analysis. Activation energy, enthalpy of activation and entropy of activation were calculated from Arrhenius equation and transition state theory equation. The obtained results indicate that, the rate of corrosion increases with the increase in sulfate ion concentration and temperature of the medium and decreases with the increase in the pH of the medium. © 2017

    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.
