“…A schematic diagram of the abrasion corrosion tribometer is shown in Fig. 1 and detailed description of the experimental set-up and its capabilities can be found elsewhere [8,14]. Corrosion-only measurements were conducted using the same set-up, with the unloaded sample and without the slurry flow.…”

“…The passive layer forms due to a sufficient amount of chromium in solid solution within the iron-rich matrix [14,36]. However, since the microstructure of 30CrWCI contains a high volume fraction of carbides, about 46 vol%, and the distribution of Cr in the matrix is nonhomogeneous, the composition and structure of the passive films vary over the surface [37].…”

“…Thus, the application of the standard for multiphase alloys such as high-Cr WCIs must be approached with caution. The authors have shown that depending on the chemistry of aqueous environment, the dissolution rate of different phases can vary significantly [14,15]. Also, since it is often not clear which dissolution reactions dominate, conversion of current to mass loss using Faraday's law can be problematic.…”

“…In the past several years, the authors have studied corrosion and three-body abrasion corrosion behaviour of hypo-and hypereutectic high-Cr WCIs in neutral and alkaline aqueous solutions with aim to provide new insights into the topic [14,15,37]. Various electrochemical techniques such as polarization resistance, potentiostatic and potentiodynamic polarization and EN have been tried.…”

High-Cr white cast irons (WCIs) are multiphase alloys commonly used in aqueous industrial environments in applications that require both high abrasion and high corrosion resistance. Various electrochemical techniques can be useful in elucidating tribocorrosion characteristics of metallic materials undergoing wear in a corrosive environment. This study is focused on the interpretation of electrochemical measurements applied to three-body abrasion corrosion contacts of high-Cr WCIs. Particular attention has been paid to determine whether tribo-electrochemical data can pick up any effects that the multiphase microstructure of WCIs may have on the tribocorrosion characteristics, especially in environments containing chloride ions. Since both wear and corrosion of multiphase alloys are usually not uniform, their tribocorrosion behaviour is difficult to study and is still poorly understood. The experimental results are discussed in terms of benefits and limitations of tribo-electrochemical techniques such as polarization (potentiostatic, potentiodynamic) and electrochemical noise (galvanic coupling, potentiostatic) in studying abrasion corrosion behaviour of high-Cr WCIs. The application of high-resolution surface analysis techniques (microprobe, NanoSIMS, C-AFM and SKPFM), used in support of the electrochemical data interpretation, is also demonstrated.

Significance of Pourbaix Diagrams to Study the Corrosion Behaviour of Hardfacing Alloys Based on Chromium Carbides at 298 K (25 °C)

The Pourbaix diagrams also known as the E-pH diagrams were constructed for hardfacing alloys based on three chromium carbides: Cr 7 C 3 , Cr 23 C 6 and Cr 3 C 2 at 298 K (25°C). Using the thermodynamic data available for the main species at 298 K (25°C), Pourbaix diagrams for the chromium carbides are constructed at a concentration of 10-6 M of aqueous species. It was found that the diagrams are able to explain the results of experimental work performed on chromium carbides in NaOH. It was found that the stability of carbides is described only by the immune region of the Pourbaix diagram for carbides. Although passive region has been included in the study, it was unclear from the literature if there was a passive film or how protective it was.

Hardfacing alloys of high-chromium white irons (HCWI) deposited using welding are well known for their wear resistance. These materials are applied in conditions needing not only wear resistance but also corrosion. In this study, the HCWI alloys were exposed to alkaline solutions of pH 14. Anodic polarization technique was used to study the corrosion behaviour. The experimental results found that corrosion occurs on carbides in preference to the matrix. Pourbaix diagrams of carbides were found to be very useful in explaining the corrosion behaviour of the hardfacing alloys. The significance of carbide corrosion to the use of hardfacing alloys is discussed. Possible methods to mitigate corrosion are proposed.
