Eco-Friendly Solutions for Enhancing the Durability of Metallic Structures
Material Selection: Using corrosion-resistant alloys or materials suitable for specific environments.
Protective Coatings: Application of paints, polymer coatings, or metallic coatings (e.g., zinc, nickel, or chrome plating).
Cathodic Protection: Electrochemical protection using sacrificial anodes or impressed current systems.
Anodic Protection: Applying an electrical potential to stabilize the metal surface in aggressive environments.
Corrosion Inhibitors: Addition and evaluation of green chemicals to slow down or prevent corrosion in aqueous environment.
Surface Treatments: Techniques such as passivation, nitriding, or phosphating to enhance corrosion resistance.
Environmental Control: Controlling temperature, pH, moisture, minimizing contamination level in the environment and limiting aeration to reduce corrosion risk.
Design Modifications: Engineering designs that minimize crevices, stagnant zones, and galvanic coupling.
Monitoring and Inspection: Regular corrosion monitoring using sensors, thickness measurements, and non-destructive testing (NDT) to detect early signs of degradation.
Laboratory Test Methods
| Electrochemical Test Method | Principle | Typical Application / Use |
|---|---|---|
| Potentiodynamic Polarization (Tafel) | Measures current response as potential is swept to determine corrosion kinetics | Determines corrosion rate and mechanism of metals in specific environments |
| Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) | Applies AC signal and measures impedance over frequency range | Evaluates corrosion resistance, coating performance, and electrochemical behavior |
| Open Circuit Potential (OCP) | Monitors the natural potential of a metal in a solution without applied current | Assesses the tendency of a metal to corrode in a given environment |
| Linear Polarization Resistance (LPR) | Measures current response to small potential perturbation | Provides rapid estimation of corrosion rates |
| Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) | Applies cyclic potential sweeps and measures current | Investigates redox behavior, electrochemical kinetics, and surface reactions |
| Zero Resistance Ammeter (ZRA) | Measures galvanic current between dissimilar metals | Assesses galvanic corrosion risk |
| Chronoamperometry / Chronopotentiometry | Applies constant potential or current and records current/potential over time | Studies electrodeposition, passivation, or dissolution kinetics |
| Galvanostatic / Potentiostatic Tests | Maintains constant current (galvanostatic) or potential (potentiostatic) | Evaluates material behavior under controlled conditions for corrosion, plating, or protection studies |
