What is Corrosion?
Metals made by smelting
(reduction of ore)
Metals in air want to return to
their oxidized state
Corrosion is a natural process!
What is Corrosion?

Examples of Corrosion
Rusting of steel
corrosion product (rust) is solid but not
protective
Reaction of aluminium with water
corrosion product is insoluble in water,
so may be protective

Figure : Three types of
oxides may form,
depending on the
volume ratio between
the metal and the
oxide:
(a) magnesium produces a
porous oxide film,
(b) aluminum forms a
protective, adherent,
nonporous oxide film,
and
(c) iron forms an oxide film
that spills off the
surface and provides
poor protection.

Figure The half-cell used
to measured the electrode
potential of copper under
standard conditions. The
electrode potential of
copper is the potential
difference between it and
the standard hydrogen
electrode in an open
circuit. Since E

is great
than zero, copper is
cathodic compared with
the hydrogen electrode.
Crystal Structure of Metals
Crystal Structure of Metals
Atoms arrange themselves into
various orderly configuration, called
crystals.
The arrangement of the atoms in
the crystal is called crystalline
structure.
The smallest group of atoms
showing the characteristic lattice
structure of a particular metal is
known as a unit cell.

Temperature remains
constant while grains
grow.
Some metals undergo
allotropic transformation
in solid state.
For example on cooling
bcc o-iron changes to
fcc -iron at 1400 C,
which again to bcc o-
iron at 906 C.
Crystal Nucleation and Growth
Nucleation and Grain Growth
Nucleation;
Homogeneous nucleation: very pure metal, substantial
undercooling (0.2Tm)
Heterogeneous nucleation: nucleation agents (5C
undercooling)
Grain growth
Planar: pure metal
Dendritic: solid solution
Grain size
depends on number of nuclei and cooling rate.

Active corrosion gives normal
activation polarization
Current falls as the passive
film starts to form - the
active-passive transition
When a stable passive film
has formed, the current has
a steady, low value - the
passive current density
The rate of corrosion will be
critically affected by the
cathodic curve
Rapid rate of cathodic
reaction leads to passivation,
and low rate of corrosion
Lower rate of cathodic
reaction leads to activity, and
high rate of corrosion
But it may also lead to low
rate of corrosion?
Very slow cathodic reaction
leads to low rate of corrosion

acid?
Fe

stable
Yes - there is a
reasonably wide
range of potentials
where hydrogen
can be evolved and
iron dissolved
Will iron
corrode in
neutral waters?
Yes - although iron can
form an oxide in neutral
solution, it tends not to
form directly on the
metal, as the potential
is too low, therefore it is
not protective.
Will iron corrode
in alkaline
solution?
No - iron forms a solid
oxide at all potentials,
and will passivate

The Effect of Stress and Strain
on Corrosion
Stress per se does not affect
corrosion processes much
Plastic strain can have a large effect:
increased dislocation density
rupture of passive films

combined effects of a static stress
and a specific chemical environment

Intergranular Corrosion
When grain boundary chromium
carbide precipitation has occurred,
the stainless steel is said to be
sensitised.
Sensitisation frequently occurs in the
heat-affected zone during welding,
and the resultant corrosion is called
weld decay.

Dealing with Corrosion
There are many ways to prevent or
minimize corrosion damage.
Alloying
Coating - metallic
Coating organic
Electrochemical
Inhibitors
Steel Alloying to Provide
Corrosion Resistance
Add >11% Cr (stainless steel)
Add >2% Mo to stainless (resist
pitting)
Add Si, P, Cu, Cr ( and others) to
obtain weathering steel
Metallic Coatings
Widely used to protect steel and
to make other metals more
attractive
Zn and Zn alloys on steel:
Galvanizing
Al on steel: Aluminizing
Ni + Cr on steel, brass or zinc to
give a bright finish
Cu + Ni + Cr also used for bright
finish
Organic Coatings - Paint
Barrier layer to keep water
away
Adhesion is key to success
Susceptible to thermal
damage
Susceptible to UV damage
Inhibitors - Additions to the electrolyte that
preferentially migrate to the anode or cathode,
cause polarization, and reduce the rate of
corrosion.
Sacrificial anode - Cathodic protection by which a
more anodic material is connected electrically to
the material to be protected. The anode corrodes
to protect the desired material.
Passivation - Producing strong anodic polarization
by causing a protective coating to form on the
anode surface and to thereby interrupt the electric
circuit.
