| dc.description.abstract | Scanning electrochemical microscopy is a method that incorporates an ultramicroelectrode capable of facilitating electrochemical reactions paired with an XYZ positioning system capable of micron-level movements. This study investigates the corrosion behavior of structural transition joint clad material that contains steel, pure aluminum, and an aluminum alloy blast welded into a single joint. This study will characterize the corrosion response of the structural transition joint and identify the galvanic activity measured between its layers.
High-temperature coatings in this study are designed to be used effectively up to 1400°F. In this study, we characterized several commercial high-temperature coatings exposed to different levels of heat. General trends of decreasing barrier performance were observed with the exception when these coatings are exposed to their rated temperature limit of 1400°F, at which the barrier increased slightly, indicated by their low-frequency impedance modulus. The cause is a combination of sintering and oxide formation. | en_US |
