Get started for freeBriefly describe the two techniques that are used for galvanic protection. Oxidation.
For each of the metals listed in the following table, compute the Pilling- Bedworth ratio. Also, on the basis of this value, specify whether you would expect the oxide scale that forms on the surface to be protective, and then justify your decision. Density data for both the metal and its oxide are also tabulated. \begin{tabular}{lccc} \hline & Metal Metal & Density \(\left(\mathrm{g} / \mathrm{cm}^{3}\right)\) & Metal Oxide & Oxide Density \(\left(\mathrm{g} / \mathrm{cm}^{\mathbf{7}}\right)\) \\ \hline \(\mathrm{Zr}\) & \(6.51\) & \(\mathrm{ZrO}_{2}\) & \(5.89\) \\ \(\mathrm{Sn}\) & \(7.30\) & \(\mathrm{SnO}_{2}\) & \(6.95\) \\ \(\mathrm{Bi}\) & \(9.80\) & \(\mathrm{Bi}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}\) & \(8.90\) \\ \hline \end{tabular}
An electrochemical cell is composed of pure copper and pure lead electrodes immersed in solutions of their respective divalent ions. For a \(0.6 M\) concentration of \(\mathrm{Cu}^{2+}\), the lead electrode is oxidized, yielding a cell potential of \(0.507 \mathrm{~V} .\) Calculate the concentration of \(\mathrm{Pb}^{2+}\) ions if the temperature is \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\).
(a) From the galvanic series (Table 17.2), cite three metals or alloys that may be used to galvanically protect 304 stainless steel in the active state. (b) As Concept Check 17.4(b) notes, galvanic corrosion is prevented by making an electrical contact between the two metals in the couple and a third metal that is anodic to the other two. Using the galvanic series, name one metal that could be used to protect a copper-aluminum galvanic couple.
(a) Cite the major differences between activation and concentration polarizations. (b) Under what conditions is activation polarization rate controlling? (c) Under what conditions is concentration polarization rate controlling?
