    Corrosion inhibition of 6061 Al-15 vol. pct. SiC(p) composite and its base alloy in a mixture of sulphuric acid and hydrochloric acid by 4-(N,N-dimethyl amino) benzaldehyde thiosemicarbazone
    (2011) Geetha, G.M.; Nayak, J.; Nityananda Shetty, A.N.
    The corrosion inhibition characteristics of 4-(N,N-dimethylamino) benzaldehyde thiosemicarbazone (DMABT) on the corrosion behavior of 6061 Al-15 vol. pct. SiC(p) composite and its base alloy were studied at different temperatures in acid mixture medium containing varying concentrations of hydrochloric acid and sulphuric acid using Tafel extrapolation technique and ac impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The effect of inhibitor concentration, temperature and concentration of the acid mixture media on the inhibitor action was investigated. It was found that inhibition efficiencies increase with the increase in inhibitor concentration, but decrease with the increase in temperature and with the increase in concentration of the acid media. Thermodynamic parameters for dissolution process were determined. The adsorption of DMABT on both the composite and base alloy was found to be through physisorption obeying Freundlich adsorption isotherm. © 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    The corrosion inhibition of maraging steel under weld aged condition by 1(2E)-1-(4-Aminophenyl)-3-(2-Thienyl)prop-2-en-1-one in 1.5 M hydrochloric acid medium
    (Springer New York LLC barbara.b.bertram@gsk.com, 2012) Sanatkumar, B.S.; Nayak, J.; Nityananda Shetty, A.N.
    The influence of 1(2E)-1-(4-Aminophenyl)- 3-(2-Thienyl)prop-2-en-1-one (ATPI) on the corrosion behavior of weld aged maraging steel in 1.5 M hydrochloric acid was studied by potentiodynamic polarization method and AC impedance (EIS) technique at different temperatures. The results showed that the inhibition efficiency of ATPI increased with the increase in the concentration of inhibitor and decreased with the increase in temperature. ATPI acts as a mixed type inhibitor without affecting the mechanism of the hydrogen evolution reaction or iron dissolution. The adsorption of ATPI on a weld aged maraging steel surface obeys the Langmuir adsorption isotherm equation. Both activation and thermodynamic parameters were calculated and discussed. ATPI inhibits the corrosion through both physisorption and chemisorption on the alloy surface. The surface morphology of the weld aged maraging steel specimens in the presence and the absence of the inhibitors was studied by the respective SEM images. © ACA and OCCA 2011.

    CORROSION BEHAVIOR OF 18% Ni M250 GRADE MARAGING STEEL UNDER WELD-AGED CONDITION IN SULFURIC ACID MEDIUM
    (2012) Sanatkumar, B.S.; Nayak, J.; Nityananda Shetty, A.N.
    The corrosion behavior of 18% Ni M250 grade maraging steel under weld-aged condition was investigated in sulfuric acid medium of different concentrations (0.1-2 M) at different temperatures (30°-60°C). 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.

    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.
