Copyright 2014 by author and Scientific Research Publishing Inc. The following mechanisms can be proposed for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) on electrodes in acidic media [21] : The cathodic reaction may have three different steps but the mechanisms do not occur as a single step but a combination of another; i.e. Table 1 . By considering the environment in which your stainless steel is usedand matching the grade to your intended applicationyou can optimize corrosion resistance and ensure long-lasting results for your investment. As supplied, this material provides high tensile strength and hardness compared to 718 in the annealed condition. However, the overall corrosion resistance performance of this alloy in the test environments can be rated as fair to good. Figure 6. Gasparac, R. and Martin, C.

Stabilized to prevent intergranular corrosion as welded. The corrosion of stainless steel (Fe6956) in acidic solution has been studied using weigh loss, thermometric and electrochemical polarization methods. Pitting is simply a breakdown of the passive layer followed by localized corrosion that produces pits, which causes perforation of steel vessels or pipes. 188 - Cobalt base with high strength and oxidation resistance to 2000F, used for gas turbine combustor cans. Carbon steel can be used up to temperatures around 480F. In most cases, this will involve rolling through multiple mills over time to achieve the desired thickness.

Hydrochloric acid is an exception to the general acid resistance of stainless steel and should be avoided. Muller, B. <>/Border[0 0 0]/P 5 0 R>> Also known as intergranular corrosion, this corrosion results from heating stainless steel to a specific temperature rangeoften between 550C and 850C. Nickel molybdenum alloys, such as B-2 and B-3 have good resistance at all concentration and temperatures. Figure 4. endobj HCl is monoprotic, which means it has a high level of dissociation in water, this creates an overabundance of H+ ions in solution. Considering the transition state of the rate determining step, the obtained negative values of S* implies a high orderly arrangement of the activated complex relative to the initial state. Hydrogen molecule evolution has received great attention from corrosion engineers and scientists because the amounts of hydrogen evolved by the cathodic reaction are proportional to the corroded amounts of iron. Activation parameters for most systems can be estimated either from Arrhenius equation (Equation (3)) or transition state theory (Equation (4)). This causes chromium to precipitate from the stainless steel and reduces the ability for the passivation layer to regenerate. This is characteristic of spontaneous attack of the chloride ions on the protective passive films associated with the steel and a reduction in its protective properties. endobj Values of kinetics parameters of rate reaction models as a function of different temperatures and polarization parameters at different concentrations of HCl solution. Commonly seen with nuts, bolts, and other fasteners, corrosion isnt visible until the parts are separated or disassembled.

The negative values of enthalpy of activation reflect the exothermic nature of stainless steel dissolution process. Fortunately, there are ways to address most forms or avoid them entirely. As shown in Figure 1, increase in temperature caused an increase in corrosion rate, also rise in acid concentration resulted in a significant increase in corrosion rate. 317L/317 Stainless Steel - An austenitic stainless steel with increased molybdenum content for improved pitting resistance. The reaction vessel consist of 50 ml of the acid put into the flask embedded in aluminum foil, corked with a Checktemp 1 digital thermometer in place. Table 4. Higher grades of stainless steel can have limited resistance, up to around 3% maximum at ambient temperatures, but may suffer local attack, mainly as crevice and pitting corrosion, even at such low concentrations. The critical current density was observed to have low value at 0.5 M HCl (77.14 mAcm2), which also increased with increasing acid concentration. <>/Border[0 0 0]/P 5 0 R>> Stainless steel is generally resistant to acidic corrosion.

Prior to the potential scan the electrode was left under open-circuit condition in the respective acid solution for 30 minutes until a steady free corrosion potential was attained. Reactive metals offer the best resistance to HCl. (2004) Citric Acid as Corrosion Inhibitor for Aluminium Pigment. However, oxidizing If Volmer reaction is fast, Tafel and/or Heyrowsky reaction must be slow [22] . Adequate oxygen availability can help to reduce the rate of pitting corrosion or halt it entirely depending on the cause. Figure 3.

This present study employs corrosion measurement techniques such as weight loss, thermometric and potentiodynamic polarization to monitor the effect of acid concentration on Fe6956 corrosion in hydrochloric acid solution in order to determine its viability in process industries. (2004) Corrosion Behavior of Stainless Steel in Seawater before and after Welding. Other considerations include pH, chloride concentration and temperature of the environment in which the steel is used. This passivation behaviour is attributed to the formation of passive oxide film on the metal surface which is corrosion resistant. The layer is too thin to observe directly and under most circumstances remains clear. behavior, however, shifts in polarization behaviour into active corrosion regions were seen with increase in acid concentration. Provided visible pits have not been formed it may be possible to renovate the surface by routine cleaning methods. Equation (4) can also be rearranged in form of straight line (Equation (6)) in order to obtain the values of enthalpy and entropy of activations.
