Influence of decarburization on the local corrosion behavior of the SAE 9254 spring steel
2019 - SANTANA, JESSICA C.C. de C.; SILVA, REJANE M.P. da; ANTUNES, R.A.; SANTOS, SYDNEY F.
Decarburization is an unwanted metallurgical phenomenon comprising the loss of carbon from the steel through outward diffusion and oxidation on the surface at high temperatures. As this phenomenon leads to phase transformations in a small region close to the surface, it is likely expecting some effects on the local chemical reactivity of the steel. This, in turn, would account for the appearance of preferential anodic sites that can act as localized corrosion spots. Macroscopic corrosion symptoms, observed by conventional corrosion techniques, express only the final step of a complex and dynamic sequence that begins at the microscopic level. Several localized electrochemical techniques can be used to characterize local corrosion processes. One of them is the scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM). The aim of the present work was to study the surface chemistry, microstructure and local corrosion processes at the decarburized layer of the SAE 9254 automotive spring steel. The samples were austenitized at 800, 850, 900 and 950 °C followed by oil quenching. The microstructure was investigated using confocal laser scanning microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The surface chemistry was analyzed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The local electrochemical activity was probed by SECM. Microstructural characterization and XPS analysis indicate a dependence of the local electrochemical processes with the steel microconstituents and also Si and Cr oxides formed during heat treatments. The presence of the ferritic layer enhanced the multiphase character of the steel microstructure in the region of partial decarburization of sample A900, increasing iron oxidation and, therefore, the local electrochemical activity for this condition.

2019 - SILVA, REJANE; MILAGRE, MARIANA; OLIVEIRA, LEANDRO; ANTUNES, RENATO; DONATUS, UYIME; COSTA, ISOLDA
In this work, scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) measurements were employed to characterize the electrochemical activities of polished and as-received surfaces of the 2098-T351 aluminum alloy (AA2098-T351). The effects of the near surface deformed layer (NSDL) and its removal by polishing on the electrochemical activities of the alloy surface were evaluated and compared by the use of different modes of SECM. Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy (CLSM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) were also employed to characterize the morphology of the surfaces. The surface chemistry was analyzed by X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). The generation/tip collection (SG/TC) and competition modes of the SECM were used to study hydrogen gas (H2) evolution and oxygen reduction reactions, respectively. H2 evolution and oxygen reduction were more pronounced on the polished surface compared to the asreceived surface that revealed lower electrochemical activities showing that either the NSDL largely decreased the local electrochemical activities at the AA2098-T351 surface.

2019 - MACHADO, CARULINE de S.C.; SILVA, REJANE M. da; ARAUJO, JOAO V. de S.; DONATUS, UYIME; MILAGRE, MARIANA X.; KLUMPP, RAFAEL E.; ROSSI, JESUALDO L.; COSTA, ISOLDA
In this work, the influence of chloride ions concentration on the corrosion behavior of the AA2198-T8 alloy was evaluated. Immersion test and electrochemical analyses were performed in sodium chloride solutions of three concentrations, 0.001 mol L-1, 0.005 mol L-1 and 0.01 mol L-1. The results showed that the AA2198-T8 alloy was susceptible to localized corrosion (LC) and to severe localized corrosion (SLC) in all conditions investigated. The electrochemical results obtained by open circuit potential measurements, cyclic voltammetry and potentiodynamic polarization curves were associated with the corroded microstructure of the alloy. Although electrochemical techniques allowed differentiating the corrosion resistance as a function of chloride concentration, the result was strongly influenced by the corroded/uncorroded area ratio related to the SLC.

Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy (SECM) study of the electrochemical behavior of anodized AZ31B magnesium alloy in simulated body fluid
2019 - OLIVEIRA, LEANDRO A. de; SILVA, REJANE M.P. da; ANTUNES, RENATO A.
In this work, scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) was employed to study the corrosion behavior of anodized AZ31B magnesium alloy exposed to simulated body fluid. SECM measurements were carried out in surface generation/tip collection mode. The hydrogen evolution flux caused during corrosion of the magnesium alloy was oxidized at the ultra-microelectrode (UME). Thus, this experimental procedure allowed evaluating the effect of the anodic protection in this alloy from the SECM analysis of Z- approximation curves, cyclic voltammograms and topographic maps. The results evidence differences in the local electrochemical response of magnesium alloy in the anodized and pristine conditions. The main sites of H2 evolution were verified in the magnesium alloy without anodizing at short exposure times.
Macro and microgalvanic interactions in friction stir weldment of AA2198-T851 alloy
2019 - DONATUS, UYIME; SILVA, REJANE M.P. da; ARAUJO, JOAO V. de S.; MILAGRE, MARIANA X.; ABREU, CAIO P. de; MACHADO, CARULINE de S.C.; COSTA, ISOLDA
The galvanic interactions within and between the friction stir weld zones of the AA2198-T851alloy have been investigated using electrochemical and microscopy techniques. The parentmaterial (PM) was the most anodic region and exhibited pronounced severe localized corro-sion (SLC) both when coupled and isolated. The stir zone was the most resistant to corrosionand exhibited no SLC when coupled, but exhibited SLC when isolated. Profiles associatedwith dissolved oxygen consumption and hydrogen generation currents across the weldmentwere inversely related because the anodic (PM) region produced higher hydrogen bubblesand, interestingly, consumed more dissolved oxygen compared with the other regions.
Exfoliation corrosion susceptibility in the zones of friction stir welded AA2098-T351
2019 - MILAGRE, MARIANA X.; DONATUS, UYIME; MACHADO, CARULINE S.C.; ARAUJO, JOAO V.S.; FERREIRA, RAPHAEL O.; SILVA, REJANE M.P.; ANTUNES, RENATO A.; COSTA, ISOLDA
In the present study, the exfoliation susceptibility of the weld zones in friction stir weldedAA2098-T351 was compared with that of the base metal (BM) according to ASTM G34 stan-dard practice. Friction stir welding (FSW) had a significant effect on the microstructure of theAl alloy tested and the susceptibility to exfoliation was strongly affected by the microstruc-ture. Different features of corrosion attack and exfoliation susceptibility were observed whenthe zones affected by FSW were tested isolated or coupled. Also, the near-surface deformedlayer had an important effect on the Al alloy susceptibility to exfoliation. These are themain findings of this work. The corrosion features were correlated with the microstructuralmodifications related to the welding process and with the electrochemical response. TheT1 phase morphology, distribution and size were critical for exfoliation susceptibility. Thestir zone (SZ) was the zone most resistant to exfoliation. However, resistance to exfoliationvaried with the temperatures reached in the heat affected zones (HAZs). The HAZ exposedto the lowest temperatures during welding, HAZ (LT), was the most susceptible to exfoli-ation, whereas the HAZ exposed to the highest temperatures, HAZ (HT), presented highresistance to exfoliation, similarly to the SZ. The ASTM-G34 practice was an effective anduseful method in identifying the different exfoliation resistances of the BM and the vari-ous zones affected by FSW. The results of this practice were supported by electrochemicalimpedance spectroscopy (EIS) tests.
The local electrochemical behavior of the AA2098‐T351 and surface preparation effects investigated by scanning electrochemical microscopy
2019 - SILVA, REJANE M.P. da; MILAGRE, MARIANA X.; OLIVEIRA, LEANDRO A. de; DONATUS, UYIME; ANTUNES, RENATO A.; COSTA, ISOLDA
In this work, scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) measurements were employed to characterize the electrochemical activities on polished and as‐received surfaces of the 2098‐T351 aluminum alloy (AA2098‐T351). The effects of the near surface deformed layer (NSDL) and its removal by polishing on the electrochemical activities of the alloy surface were evaluated and compared by the use of different modes of SECM. Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were also employed to characterize the morphology of the surfaces. The surface chemistry was analyzed by X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The surface generation/tip collection (SG/TC) and competition modes of the SECM were used to study hydrogen gas (H2) evolution and oxygen reduction reactions, respectively. H2 evolution and oxygen reduction were more pronounced on the polished surfaces. The feedback mode of SECM was adopted to characterize the electrochemical activity of the polished surface that was previously corroded by immersion in a chloride‐containing solution, in order to investigate the influence of the products formed on the active/passive domains. The precorroded surface and as‐received surfaces revealed lower electrochemical activities compared with the polished surface showing that either the NSDL or corrosion products largely decreased the local electrochemical activities at the AA2098‐T351 surfaces.
Structural, adhesion and electrochemical characterization of electroless plated Ni-P-carbon black composite films on API 5L X80 steel
2019 - OLIVEIRA, MARA C.L. de; CORREA, OLANDIR V.; SILVA, REJANE M.P. da; LIMA, NELSON B. de; OLIVEIRA, JEFFERSON T.D. de; OLIVEIRA, LEANDRO A. de; ANTUNES, RENATO A.
In this work, composite Ni-P-carbon black coatings were obtained by electroless deposition on API 5L X80 substrates. The effect of carbon black on structural, adhesion and electrochemical properties of the plated samples was evaluated. Scanning electron microscopy analyses were carried out to examine the top surface and cross section of the films. Scratch tests were employed to evaluate coating adhesion properties. Potentiodynamic polarization tests were carried out to investigate the global electrochemical behavior of the deposited layers. Scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) was employed to measure local electrochemical activity over the coated surfaces. The carbon black concentration markedly affects the morphology, adhesion and electrochemical properties of the Ni-P-carbon black layers. The results point to an optimum carbon black content to achieve the best performance against corrosion. The coatings obtained at a carbon black concentration of 0.25 g L21 provided the best protection ability. The results are discussed with respect to coating morphology, adhesion and electrochemical activity.
Comparison of the corrosion resistance of an Al–Cu alloy and an Al–Cu–Li alloy
2019 - MILAGRE, MARIANA X.; DONATUS, UYIME; MACHADO, CARULINE S.C.; ARAUJO, JOAO V.S.; SILVA, REJANE M.P. da; VIVEIROS, BARBARA V.G. de; ASTARITA, ANTONELLO; COSTA, ISOLDA
In this study, the corrosion mechanisms of the AA2024-T3 and the AA2098-T351 were investigated and compared using various electrochemical techniques in 0.005 mol L−1 NaCl solution. The severe type of corrosion in the AA2098-T351 was intragranular attack (IGA) although trenching and pitting related to the constituent particles were seen. On the other hand, the AA2024-T3 exhibited severe localised corrosion associated with micrometric constituent particles, and its propagation was via grain boundaries leading to intergranular corrosion (IGC). Electrochemical techniques showed that the corrosion reaction in both alloys was controlled by diffusion. The non-uniform current distribution in both alloys showed that EIS was not a proper technique for comparing the corrosion resistance of the alloys. However, local electrochemical techniques were useful for the evaluation of the corrosion resistance of the alloys.
