Development of Zn-SiC composite coatings: Electrochemical corrosion studies
The Zn-SiC composite coatings were fabricated by using sulphate plating bath dispersed with 1, 2 and 3 g L-1 of 64.28 nm SiC nanoparticles. Appreciable influence on morphology and microstructure was observed in scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction spectroscopy and texture co-efficient calculations for SiC incorporated zinc coatings. The electrochemical corrosion behavior of zinc and Zn-SiC composite coatings was studied by potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance analysis. Significant reduction in corrosion current and corrosion rate with increased charge transfer resistance was noticed for composite coatings. The SiC incorporated zinc coatings shown improved micro-hardness property to pure zinc coating. The properties of Zn-SiC composite coatings were compared with that of pure zinc coating
Substantial enhancement in the anticorrosivity of aluminium alloy 6061 by doxycycline hydrochloride drug
The significant anticorrosive property of the antibiotic drug doxycycline hydrochloride (DCH) was investigated by electrochemical techniques such as potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance and chronoamperometric techniques. DCH inhibited the pitting corrosion of aluminium alloy 6061 (AA6061) in 3.5% NaCl media with 90% efficiency. The adsorption of DCH on AA6061 conform Langmuir isotherm by means of physisorption. Quantum chemical calculations were evaluated to ascertain the active sites of DCH molecule responsible for adsorption and to support the experimental findings
Outstanding inhibitive effect of colchicine on aluminium alloy 6061 corrosion
The corrosion protection ability of colchicine (CC) on Aluminium alloy 6061 (AA6061) in 3.5% NaCl medium was examined by potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance, and chronoamperometric techniques. About 99 % of protection efficiency was achieved by 2 mM concentration of CC in 3.5% NaCl solution.The adsorption of CC on AA6061 surface obeys Langmuir isotherm by following both physisorption and chemisorption mechanism. Variation in the surface morphology of inhibited and uninhibited metal samples was examined by scanning electron microscopy
