Anodic lining

In Ref. 2 an accurate calculation of the potential distribution is derived for rod anodes (line 3 in Table 24-1) in a uniform, circular arrangement with a radius, r. For rod anodes with grounding resistance, R, the total resistance is given by ... 

The details are then removed from the tool for anodizing and priming. They are first processed through a multi-tank anodize line that consists of a vapor degreaser... 

As discussed in detail in Chapter 2, the corrosion potential is determined by the intersection of the sum of the anodic Evans lines and the sum of the cathodic Evans lines. For active-passive materials, the only new wrinkle is the increased complexity of the anodic line. Since the anodic line is not single-valued with respect to current density, three distinct cases can be considered. In all cases, the condition E /a = X Ic determines the position of the corrosion potential, and the condition im = z a - ic determines the appearance of the polarization curve... 

Such cathodic loop behavior is often observed on the reverse scans of polarization curves in which pitting does not occur as shown in Fig. 10 (9). During the initial anodic scan, the oxide is thickening and the anodic line is moving to the left. Thus, upon the return scan, the unchanged cathodic line now intersects the anodic line at several places, leading to the appearance of cathodic loops. Cathodic loops do not pose fundamental problems they merely conceal the passive current density at potentials near the active-passive transition. 

In Fig. 11.19a, the most simple of ED-XRF instrumental configurations is shown. A low power X-ray tube (e. g., 50 W) and a Si(Li) detector are both placed at an angle of 45° with respect to the sample. Collimators are used to confine the excited and detected beam to a sample area between 0.5 and 2 cm. In such a direct-excitation configuration, the distance between the components can be fairly small (typically a few cm) and since both the tube anode lines and the bremsstrah-... 

The total oxidation and reduction current densities will be equal at the point at which the anodic line for the metal dissolution reaction intersects the cathodic line for hydrogen evolution. The potential at which these lines intersect is the corrosion potential. The rate of the anodic reaction at the corrosion potential is the corrosion rate (corrosion current density). The corrosion potential always takes a value between the reversible potentials for the two partial reactions.

In all cases of anode selection one must ensure that the coherently and incoherently scattered characteristic lines from the x-ray tube do not interfere with characteristic lines to be analyzed from the specimen. On the other hand, the characteristic anode lines may also be chosen to enhance the sensitivities for elements of slightly longer wavelengths. This technique can be applied for high-atomic-number elements as well as low-atomic-number elements.

The electrode is set into a bipolar element, which consists of a channel frame surrounding the anodes, lined with titanium for protection against corrosion in the anolyte environment. The elements, with the anode side of one facing the cathode side of another, thereby forming a cell, are clamped together with tie-rods. The resulting assemblage has the appearance of a plate and frame filter-press—a commonly used piece of equipment for filtration operations. Hence, the term bipolar filter-press cell. ... 

Since both coherent and incoherent scattering are involved, there is broadening of the characteristic lines, depending on the line energies and the spectrometer resolution. Frequently the X-ray tube spectrum contains imwanted characteristic lines from materials used in the anode and window construction. These lines become interfering peaks as they scatter from the specimen just like the major characteristic anode lines.

F(x a reversible electrode, Evans diagram allows the determination of the corrosion point where both the hydrogen cathodic and the metal anodic line intercept. On the other hand, the irreversible electrochemical behavior denoted by the cathodic and anodic Stem diagram is also used for determining the corrosion point by simply extrapolating the linear portions of both curves until the... 

Electrolytic Dissolution In this mechanism, the current leak results in electrochemical oxidation of the positive, anodic conductor. Eventually, the device can fail from an open circuit in the anodic line (Fig. 4b). Given the small dimensions and volume of the adsorbed electrolyte, severe concentration gradients exist and voluminous corrosion products can precipitate near the surface [e.g..
