The influence of chloride ion on the corrosion of metal under coating with scratch defects was researched by wire beam electrode (WBE) technology and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) technology. The results showed that the current of metal surface could be characterized by the WBE technology. In the case of scratches on the coating, the location of the damage always showed an anodic current, and the cathodic reaction took place adjacent to the damaged location. The cathode area surrounded the defect and migrated to the far end over time. With the increase of Cl- concentration, the corrosion reaction speeded up, the rate of cathode migration also increased, and the speed of coating stripping did as well. Combined with electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, uniform laws were obtained.

Three types of corrosion inhibitors consisting of sodium diphosphate (Na2H2P2O7), sodium benzoate (NaC7H5O2), and sodium tetraborate (Na2B4O7) were evaluated to analyze their effectiveness to inhibit the aluminum alloy 3303 (UNS A93303) against corrosion, in water-ethylene glycol (C2H6O2) mixture. Potentiodynamic polarization tests were carried out to study the effect of each chemical. The temperature of solutions was 88°C and the aluminum samples were coupled with five other metals consisting of mild steel, stainless steel, brass, copper, and solder to include the effect of galvanic corrosion. The results showed that sodium diphosphate can effectively protect the aluminum alloy 3303 in comparison with two other chemicals. The effect of thermal shocking on the corrosivity of water-ethylene glycol solution was also investigated. It was indicated that the corrosivity of water-ethylene glycol solution increases because of thermal shocking, which oxidizes the aqueous ethylene glycol. The corrosion rate of aluminum alloy 3303 coupled with the five metals in thermal shocked water-ethylene glycol solution is 142 mpy, while it is 94 mpy in fresh water-ethylene glycol solution.

ZK60 magnesium alloy sheets with 0.65 mm thickness were successfully fabricated by twin roll casting (TRC) and subsequent hot rolling process. Fine equiaxed grains were obtained after T6 treatment by the short-term TRC and hot rolling process, and the grain size for different reduction ratio per pass was similar. The studied sheets exhibited high strength and elongation, and the tensile strength, yield strengths, and elongation for the 10% and 30% reduction per pass were above 400 MPa, 300 MPa, and 17.0 %, respectively. The damping capacity values at low strain decreased with increasing the reduction ration per pass and the values at high strain were similar for the different reduction ration per pass. The lower reduction ratio per pass and the heat treatment between rolling passes can improve the mobility of dislocations, which indicated that this process was beneficial for improving damping capacity. Compared with higher reduction ratio per pass, the high tensile properties and damping capacity were obtained by 10% reduction per pass hot rolling process.

The microstructures evolution of precipitations for an ultra-low iron Alloy 625 subjected to long term aging treatment at 750°C was investigated using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The intergranular corrosion behaviors of Alloy 625 were evaluated by using ASTM G28A. The result shows that the precipitated phase γ′′-Ni3Nb was mainly precipitated at the grain boundaries and twin boundaries. The number and volume fraction of γ′′ increased with the prolonging of aging time. The transformation of γ′′ to δ-Ni3Nb occurred after aging periods of 200 h. The corrosion resistance of Alloy 625 was significantly reduced during aging treatment. The decrease in intergranular corrosion resistance of Alloy 625 was attributed to the dissolution of precipitated phase and chromium depleted zone. The mass loss rate of Alloy 625 after aging treatment is related to the volume of precipitated phase and can be simulated by Johnson-Mehl-Avrami equation.

The Grey system theory is a new mathematical method to predict data changes in the poor data integrity. As a branch of Grey system theory, the GM (1, 1) model is widely used because only small sample data and simple calculations are needed in prediction of engineering project. It is a critical problem to effectively predict the performance and corrosion of asphalt pavement of highway construction due to the inadequacy of highway performance monitoring data. The smoothness, rut, and pavement skid resistance are three important indexes to evaluate the performance and corrosion of asphalt pavement. This paper has established the prediction model and derived prediction equation of asphalt pavement performance according to the GM (1, 1) model method and then listed the calculation equation of residual and the gray absolute correlation degree. Based on the experience of constructed Dalian-Guangzhou expressway in China, the vectors “a” and “b” in the prediction equation of smoothness, rut, and pavement skid resistance have been calculated by using the original monitoring data. The field monitoring data are compared with the predictive data for residual and the gray absolute correlation. The results reveal that the predicted data of the smoothness, rut, and skid resistance are mostly consistent with the monitoring data, the biggest residual of the above three indexes is smaller than 8.09%, and the gray absolute correlation degrees all exceed 0.9, which means the accuracy of the predicted equation is excellent. The calculation method based on GM (1, 1) model can effectively predict the changing performance index of asphalt pavement.

Prolonged corrosion inhibition response of sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS) on steel reinforcement in contaminated concrete was investigated by gravimetric method and electrochemical techniques such as potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Using half cell potential measurements probability of steel reinforcement corrosion was monitored for a period of 480 days. FT-IR spectroscopic analysis of the corroded products deposited on the steel reinforcement revealed the mechanism of corrosion inhibition. Modification in the surface morphology of steel specimens in the concrete was examined by optical microscopy. During the period of investigation (480 days), SLS showed appreciable corrosion inhibition efficiency on the steel reinforcement in concrete.

Fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) rebars do not corrode like steel rebars when they are exposed to moisture such as water. Instead they have been shown to degrade when exposed to alkaline media and, in some cases, acids. It has especially demonstrated extensive deterioration when it has been simultaneously stressed and exposed to harsh environments. This combined effect has been termed as stress corrosion. The effect of stress corrosion on the stress relaxation of large sized prestressed basalt-glass fibre reinforced polymer (BGFRP) bars was analyzed by laboratory experiments. Two stressed bars were submerged in aqueous solutions of acid and alkaline in two separate plastic tanks under constant strain. Stress reduction values were observed over a period of about 7 months. Bars immersed in acid bath had an average stress relaxation of 9.2% and that in the alkali bath was observed to be about 13.4%. These results support earlier assertions that exposure of GFRP bars to alkali media is likely to be detrimental to the long-term durability of the reinforced structure.

The synergistic inhibition of mild steel corrosion in seawater and 0.1M sulphuric acid by the cathodic protection and Monodora myristica was carried out through the weight loss and the linear polarization resistance (LPR) measurement. The results showed that in seawater, the synergism was not too effective for the protection of steel, whereas in 0.1M sulphuric acid, there was a great synergism between cathodic protection and the oil extracts of Monodora myristica, having an efficiency (IE%) of 102.89% at 15 mL of the oil extracts. For the linear polarization resistance (LPR), in most of the cases, there was a slight shift of the corrosion potential (Ecorr) and the open circuit potential (OPC) toward the positive as the volume of the oil extracts increased, thereby causing a change in the cathodic and the anodic Tafel slopes, which showed that the inhibitor is a mixed- type inhibitor. The corrosion current density (icorr) decreases as the volumes of the oil extract increase. Langmuir adsorption isotherm fitted best with an R2 of 1 unit, indicating a good agreement with the experimental data and with Langmuir adsorption isotherm.

Corrosion of steel reinforcement is a major cause of structural damage that requires repair or replacement. Early detection of steel corrosion can limit the extent of necessary repairs or replacements and costs associated with the rehabilitation works. The ground penetrating radar (GPR) method has been found to be a useful method for evaluating reinforcement corrosion in existing concrete structures. In this paper, GPR was utilized to assess corrosion of steel reinforcement in a concrete slab. A technique for accelerating reinforcement bar corrosion using direct current (DC) power supply with 5% sodium chloride (NaCl) solution was used to induce corrosion to embedded reinforcement bars (rebars) in this concrete slab. A 2 GHz GPR was used to assess the corrosion of the rebars. The analysis of the results of the GPR data obtained shows that corrosion of the rebars could be effectively localized and assessed.

The effect of alternating current (AC) voltage of 0V, 1V, 3V, and 5V on magnesium alloy sacrificial anode electrochemical properties was studied by open circuit potential (OCP) analysis, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and polarization curve measurements. The results demonstrate that the AC voltage has a great effect on the magnesium alloy sacrificial anode. The corrosion control is anode control in the first two days with no AC interference. The stray current accelerates the transmission and diffusion of oxygen, so the corrosion rate under AC interference is higher than that with no AC interference. And the corrosion control becomes cathodic control under AC interference. The corrosion rate of the sacrificial anode is faster and faster as the AC interference voltage increases in the range of 0~5V, while the corrosion inclination is weakened.
