“…Assessments of inhibition performance throughout a range of immersion times, up to 144 hr, revealed a steady rise in efficiency up to 96 hr, followed by a minor decline while maintaining efficiencies above 85 %. The pronounced increases in polarization resistance (Rp) and reductions in corrosion current density (Icorr) indicated the strong adsorption of inhibitor molecules onto metal surface. …”

The comparative study of the corrosion stability of Zn-Ni-Co alloy coatings deposited from chloride and sulphate baths by Marija G. Riđošić, Jelena B. Bajat

“…On the other hand, [Co2+]/Ni2+] ion ratio showed a significant influence on corrosion behaviour of ternary alloy coatings, and this influence was more pronounced with alloys deposited from chloride baths. It was shown that increased corrosion protection of steel can be achieved by electrochemical deposition of ternary alloys that contained lower amount off the alloying elements, while the composition of the ternary alloy can be optimized by proper choice of the type and composition of the deposition bath.…”

Use of filtration and electricity analogy in simulation of underflooding protection in urban construction by V. I. Sologaev

“…The methodology for complex calculation and modelling of the joint processes of water filtration in soils, the flow of electric current and electroosmotic filtration can find useful application in the development of effective protection against underflooding in urban construction. a sequence of algorithmic modelling steps is recommended. initially, it is recommended to run rough spreadsheet simulations on personal computers and mobile phones. next, a different modelling approach should be applied. based on the initial rough models of the previous step, it is necessary to write the algorithms in the programming language. the compiled model of the investigated filtration and electroosmosis processes will significantly increase the reliability of the design of protection against underflooding.conclusion. a comparison is made of the joint use of construction dewatering means of different physical essence, with simultaneous processes of gravitational filtration of underground water and passing a direct electric current through the drained soil, which causes an additional effect of electroosmosis. it is proposed to apply in a new way the analogy of water filtration and electric current in order to achieve more effective results of engineering activities by modeling protection against underflooding of building areas, ensuring the safety of urban construction when the level of groundwater rises.…”
