Abstract
ABSTRACT The electrodeposited antimony-copper coatings demonstrate a varying degree of chemical and structural heterogeneity that determines their corrosion behaviour in 0.5M sodium chloride. The electrochemical and corrosion properties of layers at open circuit potential were investigated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and optical surface observation. Corrosion polarisation tests revealed that anodic behaviour of Sb–Cu alloys is similar for the all tested samples and depends on the antimony chemical resistance. Under anodic polarisation up to about −0.03 VAg/AgCl a multistep process of anodic oxide film transformation was registered. The observations by SEM revealed that at a higher anodic polarisation many submicron-sized pits are formed. The formation of microgalvanic corrosion cells results in preferential dissolution of the antimony phase at both OCP and anodic polarisation.
期刊介绍:
Corrosion Engineering, Science and Technology provides broad international coverage of research and practice in corrosion processes and corrosion control. Peer-reviewed contributions address all aspects of corrosion engineering and corrosion science; there is strong emphasis on effective design and materials selection to combat corrosion and the journal carries failure case studies to further knowledge in these areas.
