Indian Institute of Technology Bombay said on Wednesday that its researchers have found a new technology that can measure the rate of erosion of coatings on iron, which can be useful for the steel industry.
IIT Bombay said in a statement that by combining “hydrogen transit-based potentially (HPP) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy”, researchers said in a statement.
The Premier Institute stated that metals often have a layer of protective organic coating, such as paint on cars, but they scratch over time.
The efficiency of organic coatings deteriorates over time, eventually damaging the metal because they have holes and defects that allow water and oxygen to reach the underlying metal surface over time and dismiss it.
The statement stated that IIT Bombay researchers associated two electrochemical techniques, HPP with EIS, which allowed them to determine the rate of declining interface between organic coating and metal.
While HPP offers a direct remedy for hydrogen transit, EIS provides information about how hydrogen transit metal is corroed.
“HPP-EIS can be used to monitor how quickly the organic coating will give way to rust for iron, and that the method will not only be interested in the steel industry, but also in the field of fuel cells and sensors Will be useful “
The statement stated that HPP-EIS is cost-effective because it requires only two potentials, simple electronic devices that control and measure the voltage between the two electrodes.
“Hydrogenous combination is rapidly popular to reduce emissions from natural gas, no one can apply HPP-EIS technology to determine how quickly the paint coat on the natural gas pipeline, where hydrogen is To natural gas, mixed with decline, “Pro Dandapani added.
