The kinetics of the anodic dissolution of brass (CuZn42 and CuZn21Si3P) in synthetic tap water were investigated by atomic emission spectroelectrochemistry. Elemental Cu and Zn dissolution rates were measured in situ and in real time during galvanostatic dissolution. A complete mass/charge balance for the system yielded, as a function of applied current and a function of time, the quantity of Cu in the dezincification layer and the quantity of Cu and Zn in the oxide layer. In this way, a complete kinetic characterization of the fundamental chemical processes occurring during dezincification was realized for the first time. The oxide layer was composed primarily of Cu2O as indicated by grazing incidence XRD and Raman analysis. The soluble Cu oxidation product was determined to be Cu(II) by a mass/charge balance. Zn was oxidized to soluble Zn(II) leaving behind a trivial amount of solid Zn corrosion product on the surface. The kinetic analysis depicts a two-stage dissolution process of dezincification: a first stage of a rapid growth of the dezincified layer and a second stage where the growth of dezincified layer was much slower. The Cu2O layer grows continually during the exposure.
The elemental dissolution of Cu-Zn alloys was investigated as a function of Zn content ranging from 0 to 45 wt%. Atomic emission spectroelectrochemistry (AESEC) was utilized to directly monitor Cu2+ and Zn2+ release and oxide growth as function of time during potentiodynamic experiments. It was determined that Cu dissolution undergoes a simultaneous mechanism of Cu2O formation and Cu2+ release. The addition of Zn in Cu-Zn alloy does not measurably change the dissolution mechanism of Cu2+ and the rate of aqueous Cu2+ was only dependent on the potential. Zn dissolution was however blocked by the formation of a Cu(0) film which shifted the Zn dissolution in the anodic direction.
Five stainless steel alloys were tested and compared to find a test method for the qualification of stainless steel used in drinking water systems. Determination of the pitting/critical potentials from the conventional cyclic polarization results was shown to be difficult when stainless steels have high Mo and Cr content. The electrochemical impedance data indicated that results received with the conventional methods do not necessarily reflect the steady state. The low frequency time constant determined from the impedance measurements showed that the anodic polarization should be conducted with very slow scan rate to get information about the mechanism. The steady state investigations were compared with the conventional electrochemical results to propose an electrochemical-based route as a standard qualification method. The qualification method was tested to be valid by a European round-robin-test.
Susceptibility of 304 stainless steel to crevice corrosion in electrochemically active fluids
(2019)
The susceptibility of AISI 304 stainless steel to crevice corrosion on the effect of contact with electrochemically active fluids was investigated using exposure and stepwise potentiostatic polarisation. Crevice materials made up of 304 SS and Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) forming two kinds of crevices including 304 SS-to-PEEK and 304 SS-to-304 SS were tested.

Susceptibility of 304 Stainless Steel to Crevice Corrosion in Electrochemically Active Fluids
(2020)
The susceptibility of Type 304 stainless steel (SS) to crevice corrosion upon contacting with electrochemically active fluids was investigated using exposure tests and stepwise potentiostatic polarization. Crevice materials made of 304 SS and polyether ether ketone (PEEK) were focused on in this study. The combined influence of oxidant and chloride concentration on crevice corrosion was examined in detail in the two types of crevice combinations (304 SS-to-PEEK and 304 SS-to-304 SS). The 304 SS specimens were strongly susceptible to crevice corrosion when coupled with 304 SS. Even at a low concentration of 5 mg/L free chlorine and 150 mg/L chloride, which is below nominal dilutions in beverage industries, the examined specimens underwent crevice corrosion in both crevices. The effect of water composition on crevice corrosion was also studied, indicating high susceptibility of 304 SS to crevice corrosion in low pH (pH ≤ 5) solutions. The corroded surface morphology was analyzed using scanning electron microscope, energy dispersive x-ray, and confocal.
