Effect of microstructural defects on passive layer properties of interstitial free (IF) ferritic steels in alkaline environment

The role of microstructural defects (dislocation density and grain boundary areas) on the passive film properties formed on cold- and hot-rolled interstitial free (IF) steels is investigated in 0.1 M NaOH solution. Electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) shows higher microstructural defect density on cold-rolled samples. Potentiodynamic...

The Integration of EIS parameters and bulk matrix characterization in studying reinforced cement-based materials

Corrosion in reinforced concrete is a major and costly concern, arising from the higher complexity of involved phenomena on different levels of material science (e.g. electrochemistry, concrete material science) and material properties (macro/micro/ nano). Reinforced cement-based systems (e.g. reinforced mortar and concrete) are multi-phase...
