ABSTRACT In 2006, the European Union RoHS legislation prohibited the use of lead in many electronic systems. This has resulted in increased use of pure tin finishes and tin rich lead-free alloys in aerospace and defense electronic systems. While aerospace and defense are currently exempt from the RoHS legislation, the…

Amine by itself is alkaline and generally not corrosive; however, in the presence of sour gases such as hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and carbon dioxide (CO2), which can be stripped out of feed gas, off-gas, and olefinic and saturated liquefied petroleum gas, the solution becomes extremely corrosive. The corrosiveness is def…

A criterion for evaluating the efficiency of corrosion inhibitors for metallic samples in aqueous solutions is proposed for the first time. The derivation of this criterion was based on calculating the limit of the ratio of the resistivity of a carbon steel (CS) sample in inhibited seawater (ρins) to the resistivity o…

In addition to high hardness, Ni-P coatings obtained by the electroless method are widely used due to their high corrosion resistance. The corrosion resistance depends on the content of phosphorus in the coating. Various phosphorus contents result from changes in pH in the process of obtaining layers. The layers obtai…
