Simultaneous effect of surface roughness and passivity on corrosion resistance of metals

Abstract: Unidirectional surface roughness of varying magnitudes were created on both nickel and mild steel by grinding on SiC papers with grit sizes from G60 (roughest) to G1200 (smoothest) and the corrosion resistance in 0.5M H 2 SO 4 solution was determined using a potentiodynamic polarization technique. A different trend of corrosion rate versus roughness was seen for the active-passive metal (nickel) and non-active-passive metal (mild steel). For nickel there was an increase in corrosion rate with increasing roughn… Show more

“…There is a relationship between high peaks and the two phenomena of friction and wear, according to studies [24,25]. Additionally, deeper grooves and valleys in the surface texture might cause crack propagation [26,27] and corrosion [28,29]. It can be seen from the table 1 and the Fig.…”

“…However, the lowest roughness values were obtained for the Ca 32 Mg 12 Zn 38 Yb 15 B 3 and Ca 32 Mg 12 Zn 38 Yb 18 alloys. These may suggest that these alloys were more corrosion resistant, because the lower the roughness values, the higher the corrosion resistance 29 , 30 . It should also be noted that corrosion resistance is dependent not only on the surface roughness but also on the ability of the alloy to form a protective passive film on its surface 30 .…”

“…It is probably caused by the differences in surface roughness between the two samples (attributed to a larger true surface area) as has been shown in previous studies. 30,31 This is shown in Fig. 2, where the QCM surface has a larger average surface roughness (R a ) than bulk titanium (R a ¼ 8.78 nm for titanium-coated QCM sensor versus R a ¼ 1.27 nm for bulk titanium).…”
