Evaluating/estimating corrosion test specimen

There were several suggestions for solving the problem:

  • Finding the amount of corrosion by transmitting a light wave and checking the swallowed wavelengths, and comparing swallowed wavelengths before and after using the dust remover.

  • Do a polarization experiment(polarization curve corrosion), for the specimen before using the dust remover and after:

Polarization is the change of potential from a stabilized state, from the open-circuit electrode potential as the result of the passage of current. It also refers to the change in the potential of an electrode during electrolysis, such that the potential of an anode becomes more noble, and that of a cathode more active, than their respective reversible potentials. Often accomplished by the formation of a film on the electrode surface.


the Polarization Curve for the 1008 steel will be somewhere in the green circle; it will look like the Mg curve but with a higher potential at the passivation area. The resulting current is proportional to the amount of surface exposed to rust, i.e. "clean" surface, Then divide the primary Current by the second Current

  • Weight loss: to corrode the specimen, after corroding it weigh it(m0), use the rust remover, weigh the specimen again(m1), and then divide m1 by m0, thereby the percentage of the amount of corrosion removed will be obtained.
  • Galvanic electrochemical cell experiment: An electrochemical cell constructed of a Pb electrode (cathode) and an iron electrode (anode), Initially measure the initial current result and divide by after current (after using the rust remover), after that 100*(result) --> completion. the current can be fined by Faraday's law.

  • The first image shows the specimen before the corrosion test, which is the initial step in the project, and the second image after shows the model after doing the corroding experiment.

  • The first picture shows the specimen when it is inserted in a rust remover, and in the second picture the final result, after a quarter of an hour of the immersion the oxidized specimen in the rust remover. a great result.

This is a great project. You performed a good analysis and found a solution. Continue to use the platform and let me know if you need help.

I am a bit puzzled about how the SFM tool was used. I find it interesting and I wonder what was the target of that. https://hub.priz.guru/project/2344/tools?tp=1#tool-3536

In past decades, polymeric micropillar devices have gained a great deal of attention in micro and nano technology research as the result of their potential and practical usage in many applications. This project is going to deal with the process of how to fabricate the magnetic micropillars, from the beginning – the planning and design, improving the existing process, lithography to create the base silicon mold and then creating the PDMS pillars that contains nano magnetic particles of Fe_3 O_4, the process today is not efficient enough in terms of cost and time and we are wishing to improve it, in the end we will have a device with micro-pillars that can move correspondingly to external magnetic field which will help us to do many advanced experiments in the biology field like using the device for cell stimulation.

Chilled water is used for production equipment cooling. Suddenly pH of the water started to drop. The aim of the project is to analyze the issue, understand the root cause, and propose solutions to the problem.
