ATR-FTIR in Kretschmann configuration integrated with electrochemical cell as in situ interfacial sensitive tool to study corrosion inhibitors for magnesium substrates

Integrated attenuated total reflection – Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) – Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements were used to simultaneously follow chemisorption mechanisms of organic inhibitors as well as their corrosion inhibition efficiency towards magnesium based substrates. Four carboxylic compounds...

The effect of time evolution and timing of the electrochemical data recording of corrosion inhibitor protection of hot-dip galvanized steel

In previous work, the importance of taking the time-domain into account when studying corrosion inhibitor-containing electrochemical systems was highlighted. In this work, odd random phase electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (ORP-EIS) is applied as the electrochemical tool to study the time-effect by the evaluation of the non...

The influence of deformation on the product performance of pre-coated packaging steels

Recent developments in various countries have led to the development of new types of polymer coated packaging steel. These materials behave differently in production and end use and are therefore subject of extensive studies. The aim of this research is to understand the influence of deformation of pre-coated packaging steel sheet on real can...
