The sacrificial and barrier mechanisms of protection afforded to the aluminum alloy (AA)2024-T351 (UNS A92024) substrate by a Mg-rich primer (MgRP) were investigated. Test methods were developed to estimate the total residual stored Mg anode capacity and electrically “well-connected” Mg in the pri ... [Corrosion 67, 055004 (2011)] published Sun May 01, 2011.

Corrosion severity prediction is very useful information for maintenance planning. Acoustic emission (AE), a non-destructive testing method, can be applied to monitor corrosion severity. To improve its prediction reliability, a novel technique of applying acoustic source recognition is presented. ... [Corrosion 67, 056001 (2011)] published Sun May 01, 2011.

Corrosion behavior and the hygroscopic properties of solid ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) salt were investigated. This study was conducted to determine the root cause of significant corrosion caused by NH4Cl salt deposition in reactor-effluent streams in hydroprocessing units. Corrosion and water absor ...

The electrochemical corrosion behavior of Mg1.5Ga, Mg3Ga, and Mg1.5Hg1.5Ga (at%) alloys with an α-Mg single phase were investigated by potentiodynamic and galvanostatic testing. The corroded surface morphologies of Mg alloys were observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and its corrosion ... [Corrosion 67, 055003 (2011)] published Sun May 01, 2011.

To achieve a deeper understanding of the mechanism of protection of aluminum alloys by magnesium-rich primer (MgRP), the behavior of MgRP on aluminum alloy (AA)2024-T3 (UNS A92024) was investigated using a Kelvin probe and electrochemical methods. Different magnesium-rich coating systems were comp ... [Corrosion 67, 055001 (2011)] published Sun May 01, 2011.
