Naphthenic corrosion using electrochemical and analytical techniques
2022 - SIMOES, A.M.P.; SILVA, R.M.P.; SUFFREDINI, H.B.; SANTOS, L.F.; BASTOS, I.N.
Naphthenic acid corrosion of steel was studied in a stagnant, biphasic oil/aqueous phase system, by means of electrochemical measurements and surface analysis. Corrosion was restricted to the region of the aqueous phase, as crater-shaped pits that eventually coalesced, generating a nearly uniform attack in the vicinity of the oil phase. In-situ electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) reveals the processes occurring at the aqueous phase, which nevertheless increase with the fraction of oil phase and with degree of acidity of the oil.
Naphthenic acid corrosion of API 5L X70 steel in aqueous/oil environment using electrochemical surface-resolved and analytical techniques
2022 - SILVA, REJANE M.P.; SUFFREDINI, HUGO B.; BASTOS, IVAN N.; SANTOS, LUIS F.; SIMOES, ALDA M.P.
Naphthenic acid corrosion of steel is studied in crude oil/aqueous phase system at ambient temperature, using a biphasic stagnant liquid without emulsification, by means of electrochemical measurements and surface analysis. The in-situ electrochemical impedance is assigned to the processes occurring at the aqueous phase. Corrosion occurred only in the region of the aqueous phase, as crater-shaped pits that eventually coalesced, generating a nearly uniform attack in the vicinity of the oil phase. The impedance values, normalized to the aqueous region only, reveal corrosion rate increasing with the ratio of crude oil/water. Despite the localized character of the anodic oxidation, the iron naphthenate corrosion products became partitioned between the two phases. Surface-resolved electrochemical techniques in aqueous solution revealed enhanced activity of the regions pre-exposed to oil.
Influence of chloride ions concentration on the development of severe localised corrosion and its effects on the electrochemical response of the 2198-T8 alloy
2021 - MACHADO, CARULINE de S.C.; SILVA, REJANE M.P. da; ARAUJO, JOAO V. de S.; MILAGRE, MARIANA X.; DONATUS, UYIME; VIVEIROS, BARBARA V.G. de; KLUMPP, RAFAEL E.; COSTA, ISOLDA
The development of severe localised corrosion (SLC) on the 2198-T8 alloy was investigated in solutions of various NaCl concentrations (0.001, 0.005 and 0.01 mol L−1). Immersion tests, optical profilometry, conventional and local electrochemical analyses were performed to evaluate the corrosion behaviour of the alloy. Immersion tests showed that the alloy is susceptible to SLC in all conditions, although the pits sizes were dependent on the solution concentration. The largest anodic areas, corresponding to SLC sites, were observed for the sample immersed in 0.001 mol L−1 NaCl, whereas pits with similar sizes were observed for the samples immersed in solutions with 0.005 and 0.01 mol L−1 of NaCl. Moreover, the maximum depth of attack was observed for the sample immersed in 0.001 mol L−1 NaCl. These results were in agreement with the scanning ionselective electrode technique (SIET) maps which showed stronger acidification on the sample exposed to 0.001 mol L−1 NaCl solution.
Surface chemistry, film morphology, local electrochemical behavior and cytotoxic response of anodized AZ31B magnesium alloy
2020 - OLIVEIRA, LEANDRO A. de; SILVA, REJANE M.P. da; RODAS, ANDREA C.D.; SOUTO, RICARDO M.; ANTUNES, RENATO A.
This work investigates the effect of current density on the surface chemistry, film morphology, cytotoxic response, global and local electrochemical behaviors of AZ31B alloy anodized in 1.0 M NaOH + 0.5 M Na2SiO3 solution. Three different current densities, namely 5, 10 and 20 mA cm−2 were tested. The surface morphology and thickness of the anodized layers were examined by scanning electron microscopy. The surface chemical states were assessed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The corrosion resistance was evaluated in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) based on electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and potentiodynamic polarization measurements. The use of scanning probe techniques with physicochemical resolution, the scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) and the scanning Kelvin probe (SKP), allowed the best corrosion behavior to be assigned to the sample anodized using a current density of 20 mA cm−2. Altogether, these methods allowed to establish that the anodizing current density imposed to the magnesium alloy had a major effect on the morphology and composition of the surface layers, and produced changes in their electrochemical behavior. In vitro cytotoxicity tests using the MTS assay demonstrated that the good biocompatibility of the AZ31B magnesium alloy was not damaged by the surface layers formed during the anodization treatment.
Galvanic coupling effects on the corrosion behavior of the 6061 aluminum alloy used in research nuclear reactors
2020 - MILAGRE, MARIANA X.; DONATUS, UYIME; SILVA, REJANE M.P.; BETANCOR-ABREU, ABENCHARA M.; RAMIREZ, OSCAR M.P.; MACHADO, CARULINE S.C.; ARAUJO, JOAO V.S.; SOUTO, RICARDO M.; COSTA, ISOLDA
The 6061 alloy is used in different thermomechanical conditions in research nuclear reactors. Nuclear fuel plates are manufactured by the picture frame technique (PFT) and the 6061 alloy is used as cladding for the nuclear fuel “sandwiches”. After the PFT process, these nuclear plates are placed in a case made of 6061-T6 alloy. In this work, the galvanic effects of coupling the 6061 alloy in the T6 and PFT temper conditions were investigated in different chloride-containing solutions. The results showed that galvanic coupling was favored between the PFT and 6061-T6 alloy. A potential difference of about 50 mV was observed between the temper conditions. This was attributed to differences in β’’ phase density between the two conditions (T6 and PFT) which was indicated by microhardness results. The 6061 alloy in the PFT condition was cathodic in relation to the T6 one. Results from conventional electrochemical techniques were in agreement with the local measurements. Local electrochemical techniques such as the SVET, SECM and LEIS were useful in characterizing the electrochemical behavior of the galvanically coupled alloys.
Galvanic and asymmetry effects on the local electrochemical behavior of the 2098-T351 alloy welded by friction stir welding
2020 - MILAGRE, MARIANA X.; DONATUS, UYIME; MOGILI, NAGA V.; SILVA, REJANE M.P.; VIVEIROS, BARBARA V.G. de; PEREIRA, VICTOR F.; ANTUNES, RENATO A.; MACHADO, CARULINE S.C.; ARAUJO, JOAO V.S.; COSTA, ISOLDA
Scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) and scanning vibrating electrode technique (SVET) were used to investigate the electrochemical behaviour of the top surface of the 2098-T351 alloy welded by friction stir welding (FSW). The SVET technique was efficient in identifying the cathodic and anodic weld regions. The welding joint (WJ), which comprises the thermomechanically affected zone (TMAZ) and the stir zone (SZ), was cathodic relative to the heated affected zone (HAZ) and the base metal (BM). The reactivities of the welding joint at the advancing side (AS) and the retreating side (RS) were analyzed and compared using SECM technique in the competition mode by monitoring the dissolved oxygen as a redox mediator in 0.005 mol L−1 NaCl solution. The RS was more electrochemically active than the AS, and these results were correlated with the microstructural features of the welded alloy.
Effects of chloride ion concentration on the corrosion behavior of the AA2198-T8 alloy
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.
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.
