An integrated modeling approach for atmospheric corrosion in presence of a varying electrolyte film Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Study on the roles of bisulfite in the stress corrosion cracking of 7050-T7451 aluminum alloy in the thin electrolyte layer environment Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Effect of bisulfite (HSO3-) on the stress corrosion cracking (SCC) behavior of 7050-T7451 aluminum alloy in the thin electrolyte layer environment in the presence of Cl- is investigated. Addition of HSO3- inhibits the corrosion initiation but promotes the corrosion propagation and hydrogen uptake. With a quantitative calculation, the HSO3- is demonstrated to significantly facilitate the synergistic effect between stress, corrosion, and ...
Electrochemical and Raman analysis of the corrosion products formed over hot dip galvanised steel wires exposed in different environmental sites Vrije Universiteit Brussel
In this work, hot-dip galvanised steel wires were exposed in Belgium and Indonesia for 4.5 years and correlation of corrosion products formed on the exposed wires with their corrosion properties was studied. Corrosion products were identified with local Raman analysis and correlated with corrosion activity based on odd random phase electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and Tafel behaviour. Raman spectroscopy results confirmed that corrosion ...
