By the method of polarization measurements there have been investigated the corrosionelectrochemical properties of steel 09G2S which was obtained by means of the powder metallurgy. Similar measurements were carried out for compact steel in order to compare the obtained data. Anodic and cathodic curves taken in the sea water showed that corrosion-electrochemical properties of both steels were identical, i.e. both cathodic and anodic processes on these steel samples proceed according to the same mechanism with the only difference that currents observed on the powder electrode are almost 2.5 times up from those on the compact electrode. It revealed that the corrosion rate of powder steel is also up 2.5 times from that on the compact steel. Corrosion-electrochemical studies into sulfate solutions with different pH values showed that as pH increases, the stationary potentials of steels shifts to the negative side while rates of cathodic and anodic processes decrease. To our thinking, the transition regions on anodic curves result from the competing adsorption between OHand ions. The higher dissolution rates of the powder electrode in the investigated solutions are, on the one hand, due to high true surface of the powder steel and to non-equipotentiality of surface specified steel, on the other hand.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
