The presence of sulfide increased the corrosion damage of both NAB and MAB by rendering the corrosion product film thicker, more porous and less protective. For MAB, the formation of Fe oxides/sulfides within the corrosion product film may reduce the film compactness and responsible for the lower corrosion resistance, compared with NAB. The presence of sulfide caused the occurrence of more severe corrosion on the surface and therefore further enhanced the cavitation erosion damage. Compared with the result in the clean solution, the cavitation-erosion mass loss rate was raised by a factor of about 11.88% for MAB, and 58.6% for NAB. For NAB, the mechanical erosion dominated the damage in the clean solution, while the cavitation erosion synergy made a significant contribution to the overall damage in the sulfide-polluted solution. For MAB, it was the mechanical damage that contributed mainly to the cavitation erosion damage in both solutions. The exfoliation of large-sized κ phase and the cleavage rupture of β phases resulted in lower cavitation erosion resistance of MAB, compared with NAB.展开更多

For the freshly polished samples used as contrast samples, the flow velocity mainly enhancedthe cathodic reaction at low flow velocities while both the anodic and the cathodic reactions were remarkably accelerated athigher flow velocities. The corrosion product films formed on the two commercial 90Cu-10Ni tubes after being immersedin seawater for up to 6 months are of a complex three-layer or multilayer structure. The structural evolution of the films isout of sync for the two tubes. A continuous residual substrate layer depleted of Ni was observed in the inner layer of thefilms on Tube B after 30, 90, and 180 days＇ immersion, while it was observed in the film on Tube A only after 180 days＇immersion. The nature of the inner layer plays a crucial role in the erosion-corrosion resistance of the 90Cu-10Ni tubes athigher flow velocity. The film with a compact and continuous inner layer of Cu20 doped with Ni2＋ and Ni3＋ which bondsfirmly with the substrate could survive and even get repaired with the increased flow velocity. The film on Tube Bpossessing a hollow and discontinuous inner layer composed of the residual substrate was degraded rapidly with increasingrotation speed in spite of its quite good resistance at the stagnant or lower speed conditions.展开更多

The effects of heat input and shielding gases on the corrosion behavior of the welded titanium were also studied. Grain coarsening and Widmanst^itten structure were found in both the fusion zone and the heat-affected zone. The welded titanium exhibited active-passive behavior in the simulated condensates. Both the polarization curves and EIS measurements confirmed that TIG welding process with different parameters had few effects on the corrosion behavior. It was proved that the microstructure changes were not the key material factors affecting the corrosion behavior of pure titanium under the test conditions, while the oxide film had remarkable effect on improving the corrosion resistance.展开更多

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses of fluoride ion-labelled samples show that PCPT cannot remove the surface film completely due to the low reaction rate. Potentiodynamic polarisation tests demonstrate that PCPT with proper operating parameters,-1.0 V SCE for 5 min with subsequent open circuit potential(OCP) stabilisation in this study, is necessary because it can improve the test reproducibility without affecting the corrosion parameters by unifying the initial surface state. However, PCPT with lower potentials, longer time or no OCP stabilisation has significant effects on the electrochemical corrosion parameters due to the hydrogen absorption under the conditions of this study.展开更多
