Abstract

With the goal of preventing concrete deterioration by means of destructive corrosion processes, the use of single organic compounds or mixtures as organic corrosion inhibitors (OCIs) instead of inorganic chemicals is becoming a very attractive practice. As OCIs are more ecologically friendly in their production and environmental fate, they have several advantages over well-known inorganic additives such as metallic nitrites, chromates, or arsenates. In this article, the application of different single organic compounds (of either natural or synthetic origin) as well as mixtures that have been used to lengthen the lifespan of concrete structures is reviewed. After a small exemplification of the use of single organic compounds bearing amino, hydroxy, formyl, or carboxylic functionalities, the more often used OCIs are reviewed according to their principal functional group. Afterward, the application of compound mixtures of either synthetic or natural origin, the use of natural extracts, and biomass are surveyed. Finally, the effects of functional groups within the top 10 inhibitor molecules, the toxicity of OCIs, their effects on the physical-mechanical properties of concrete, and their long-term performance are discussed.

The role of microbes in the inhibition of the atmospheric corrosion of steel caused by air pollutants

Temitope Alaba Oshin, Bamidele Sunday Fakinle, Olamide Oyewole

Page range: 635-647

Abstract

Due to the presence of corrosive contaminants in the air, metals naturally corrode when exposed to the environment. Air pollution, in conjunction with climate conditions, may significantly deteriorate outdoor materials, especially metals and hence, the need for corrosion control. Using inhibitors is a powerful strategy that is frequently employed for corrosion prevention and control. Chemical inhibitors are often used. However, due to their low effectiveness and stringent environmental regulations, the majority of chemical corrosion inhibition techniques are becoming less desirable. For this reason, there is an increasing interest in and focus on biological inhibition approaches, which most recently have included the use of microbes. Microbiologically-influenced corrosion inhibition (MICI) is apparently far more complex than traditional corrosion inhibition procedures. A current overview of the mechanisms that have been used or may be efficient for MICI technologies is important in order to facilitate the advancement of MICI and its practical industrial applications, especially for atmospheric corrosion caused by air pollutants, for which there is little information in the reviewed literature. Therefore, this review addresses the role of microbes, like Pseudomonas putida , in the inhibition of atmospheric corrosion of metals and brings the reader up-to-date on the few literatures existing on the subject. The review describes and characterizes MICI for atmospheric corrosion as a developing field still in need of enthusiastic researchers to further investigate the area in order to establish useful methodologies, procedures, and technologies for later adoption in industrial terrains and applications.

A review on corrosion and corrosion inhibition behaviors of magnesium alloy in ethylene glycol aqueous solution

Sisi Liu, Yicun Wang, Hualiang Huang, Gangliang Huang

Page range: 649-658

Abstract

Magnesium alloy is one of the most promising automotive lightweight materials, but its poor corrosion resistance seriously hinders its practical application in automotive engines. Corrosion inhibitor technology has the characteristics of small dosage, simple operation, low cost, and does not affect the heat dissipation of metals. Therefore, adding high-efficiency long-term corrosion inhibitors to automotive engine coolants is the simplest, most practical and effective way to realize the application of magnesium alloy in automotive engines. This paper reviewed the corrosion and corrosion inhibition behaviors of magnesium alloy in ethylene glycol aqueous solution. The effects of temperature, galvanic effect, water content, and anionic and acidic oxides on the corrosion of magnesium alloy in automotive coolant were summarized. The research, advantages and disadvantages of inorganic, organics small-molecule, polymer, and composite corrosion inhibitors for inhibiting the corrosion of magnesium alloy in ethylene glycol aqueous solution were also summarized. The construction of inorganic-polymer corrosion inhibitor composite films was proposed to realize the application of magnesium alloy in engine, which further enriched the corrosion theories and anti-corrosion technologies of magnesium alloy.

Study of the corrosion mechanism of Mg–Gd based soluble magnesium alloys with different initial texture states

Yanchun Zhu, Niulin Wang, Zhibing Chu, Yong Niu, Liang Ma, Ling Qin

Page range: 659-672

Abstract

In order to clarify the influence of different initial texture states on the corrosion mechanism of soluble Mg alloy materials, the as cast and after extruded + perforated (EP) deformed Mg–Gd based soluble magnesium alloys are investigated by the microstructure, surface morphology, surface volta potential, immersion test and electrochemical measurement separately. The results indicate that: the rate of corrosion of the as cast Mg–Gd based soluble magnesium alloy can reach 43.85 mg/cm 2 /h at 93 °C in a 3 wt% KCl solution, while after EP deformation the rate of corrosion is greatly reduced to only 8.37 mg/cm 2 /h. Combined with the microstructure analysis, it is concluded that the EP deformed destroyed the coarse reticulated second phase in the as cast structure, which reduced the micro-electrocouple corrosion effect of the second phase. Finally, the corrosion mechanism models for different initial texture states are established through the analysis of microstructure and corrosion morphology, respectively. It is found that the microscopic corrosion mechanism of the as cast Mg–Gd based soluble magnesium alloy is mainly intercrystalline corrosion, which is a superposition of micro-electrocouple corrosion and Mg matrix dissolution. While the microscopic corrosion mechanism of the EP deformed is mainly intracrystalline corrosion, which is manifested as pitting corrosion.

Determination of corrosion product film on pure Mg in Cl⁻ environment using XPS etching

Lingxiong Sun, Deqing Ma, Ye Liu, Qingwei Qin, Liang Liang, Hongbin Ma, Fuan Wei, Chao Zhang

Page range: 673-678

Abstract

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) combined with Ar ion etching was used to analyse the surface film of pure Mg at different depth after immersion in 3.5 % NaCl solution for 10 min. The XPS spectra of specimen surface showed that the corrosion products are mainly made up of Mg(OH) 2 and Mg 2 Cl(OH) 3 · x H 2 O. The formation process of Mg 2 Cl(OH) 3 is the reaction of Mg(OH) 2 and Cl − and H + in weak acidic solutions. The XPS results indicated that the intensities of Mg 2 Cl(OH) 3 · x H 2 O decreased with the increase of etching time from 0 s to 4680 s. It is confirmed that the edge of Mg(OH) 2 protrudes outward and then splits into Mg 2 Cl(OH) 3 when Cl − attacks the Mg(OH) 2 films, so the Mg 2 Cl(OH) 3 attached to Mg(OH) 2 . Meanwhile, coupling the scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) with the XPS to analyze the corrosion mechanism. Furthermore, the results displayed that the XPS combined with Ar ion etching is a good characterization method to understand the reaction of corrosion products.

High-temperature corrosion behavior of S30432 in high-efficiency ultra-supercritical boiler burning low-alkali and high-sulfur coal

Yugang Liu, Yinhe Liu, Chunhong Mo, Shenming Ran, Chaoqiang Yin

Page range: 679-688

Abstract

In this study, the resistance of S30432 to low-alkali coal ash corrosion in a high-efficiency USC boiler was investigated. Currently, S30432 is widely used in the high-temperature superheater and reheater of boilers burning low-alkali and high-sulfur coal. During the experiment, S30432 coated with low-alkali coal ash were fixed in a high-temperature tubular reactor, and hot gas at 650 °C and 700 °C containing SO 2 passed over the specimens for 2000 h. Then the specimens were tested by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive spectroscopy. It was found that S30432 specimens mainly underwent high-temperature oxidation. For the gas temperature of 700 °C and SO 2 volume concentration of 0.35 %, the sulfidation reaction occurred and the weight change was only 1.08 mg cm −2 . The results show that there is no obvious high-temperature corrosion after three years of operation of a 700 MW 620 °C boiler. The results are in contrast with the high-alkali coal ash corrosion resistance of S30432. It is concluded that S30432 can meet the requirements of a high-efficiency USC boiler burning low-alkali and high-sulfur coal.

Image recognition model of pipeline magnetic flux leakage detection based on deep learning

Zhenchang Xu, Kuirong Liu, Bill Gu, Luchun Yan, Xiaolu Pang, Kewei Gao

Page range: 689-701

Abstract

Deep learning algorithm has a wide range of applications and excellent performance in the field of engineering image recognition. At present, the detection and recognition of buried metal pipeline defects still mainly rely on manual work, which is inefficient. In order to realize the intelligent and efficient recognition of pipeline magnetic flux leakage (MFL) inspection images, based on the actual demand of MFL inspection, this paper proposes a new object detection framework based on YOLOv5 and CNN models in deep learning. The framework first uses object detection to classify the targets in MFL images and then inputs the features containing defects into a regression model based on CNN according to the classification results. The framework integrates object detection and image regression model to realize the target classification of MFL pseudo color map and the synchronous recognition of metal loss depth. The results show that the target recognition ability of the model is good, its precision reaches 0.96, and the mean absolute error of the metal loss depth recognition result is 1.14. The framework has more efficient identification ability and adaptability and makes up for the quantification of damage depth, which can be used for further monitoring and maintenance strategies.

Quantum chemical analysis of amino acids as anti-corrosion agents

Dyari Mustafa Mamad, Rebaz Anwar Omer, Khdir Ahmed Othman

Page range: 703-717

Abstract

Anti-corrosion properties of L-lysine (Lys), S-methyl (S-Met), L-cysteine (Cys), L-glycine (Gly), valinin (Val), and L-glutamine (Glu), all of which are amino acids, were evaluated on the surfaces of iron, copper, and aluminum in both the protonated and non-protonated states in both the gas and aqueous phases at their optimal symmetry. Analysis was performed based on density functional theory (DFT) calculation at 6-311++G(d,p) and B3LYP level. Monte Carlo simulation generated top and side views of the most energetically stable configuration for the adsorption of all selected amino acids on Al (110), Fe (110), and Cu (110). This suggests that the Monte Carlo simulation was able to accurately predict the adsorption properties of the amino acids on the selected metal surfaces. Glu was found to be the strongest inhibitor amongst the six molecules tested, as it had the lowest energy difference and the highest reactivity, according to the decreasing sequence of ∆E values. Electronegativity difference of the compounds investigated from highest to lowest is Lys, S-Met, Cyst, Gly, Val, and Glu. This order is also reflected in the polarizability of the compounds, with Lys having the highest polarizability and Glu having the lowest, suggesting that Glu may have the highest inhibitory efficacy.
