A study of the film formation kinetics on zinc in different acidic corrosion inhibitor solutions by quartz crystal microbalance

Corrosion of AISI 4130 Steel Alloy under Hydrodynamic Condition in Ethylene Glycol + Water + NO2− Solution

“…Nitrates NO 3 À and nitrites NO 2 À are inorganic, passivating inhibitors which have been used satisfactorily in many corrosive environments. For instance, nitrites have been used to prevent mild steel [16] and reinforcing steel [17] from corrosion in simulated cooling water, in the zinc corrosion inhibition in acidic solutions [18] . On the other hand, nitrates have been used on the corrosion inhibition of galvanized steel and aluminum [13] and zinc [19] or even used in solegel coatings for mild steel [20] .…”

Electrochemical Noise Analysis of Type 316L Stainless Steel in a LiBr + Ethylene Glycol + H2O Solution

“…10 A "fractal" is an object with complex structure, revealing new details at increasing degrees of magnification. [11][12] For metals, a fracture or surface irregularity could be quantitatively described through fractal geometry, by means of the fractal dimension.…”

Effect of silicate anion distribution in sodium silicate solution on silicate conversion coatings of hot-dip galvanized steels

“…In recent years, extensive efforts have been devoted to the development of chromate-free passivation [3,4]. Sodium silicate has been used as an inhibitor and passivator to improve corrosion resistance of metals for many years due to its effective inhibitory properties and low cost [5][6][7][8][9]. Sodium silicate (Na 2 O•nSiO 2 ) solution, which is composed of different proportions of sodium oxide and silica, is a water-soluble silicate that is non-toxic and low priced.…”
