Development of Pitting Corrosion Monitoring Device under Sodium Chloride Droplet by Means of Wet-Dry Cyclic Method

Abstract:

Pitting corrosion caused by wet-dry cycles under corrosive media droplet is one of the key concerns for passive film of metallic materials, particularly stainless steels and aluminum alloys, exposed to atmosphere during service. In this context, the formation of corrosion can lead to high investment cost dealing with corrosion mitigation strategy, e.g. materials selection, electrochemical corrosion control, etc. Based on materials selection perspectives, it is very necessary to have proper understanding of localized corrosion behaviors of metallic materials under solution droplet. Therefore, the present study aims to develop a methodology for pitting corrosion monitoring that can be suitably used for extending better understanding on corrosion phenomena occurring under wet-dry cycles of droplet. A special liquid handling apparatus controlled by Arduino software was constructed and used for generating NaCl solution droplet at given dimension on the surface of stainless steel specimens based on Pendant drop principle. This was recognized as wet cycle. During dry cycle, such NaCl solution droplet was naturally dried off in various conditions of relative humidity. Pitting initiation was observed through a high-resolution CCD camera. Droplet morphology and evaporation time were evaluated at the temperature of 27°C and relative humidity of 10% and 60%. The research results revealed that pitting corrosion started at 1^st cycle without rust formation. Afterwards, the rust formation was clearly noticed when testing cycles of 15 were exceeded.
