    The Armfield Corrosion Studies Kit is designed to provide students with an introduction to corrosion and allow them to study how corrosion occurs under different conditions. The kit includes equipment to perform experiments investigating the effect of pH, oxygen concentration, galvanic corrosion, electrolytic corrosion, cathodic protection, and corrosion inhibition. Students can use the kit to set up eight corrosion cells simultaneously and measure corrosion rates visually and by weighing samples over time.

    CORROSION
    STUDIES KIT

    CEQ
    issue 10

    Corrosion represents a significant factor in determining durability and safety


    of industrial processes. Student engineers need to understand fully the effects of
    corrosion and how these can be anticipated and prevented. The Armfield Corrosion
    Studies Kit is designed to provide an introduction to this topic and allows students
    to recognise potentially corrosive situations and develop information to permit the
    selection of adequate materials.

    DESCRIPTION
    The Armfield corrosion studies kit uses a number
    of simple items of equipment in a series of tests,
    designed to demonstrate to the student how
    potentially corrosive situations may be
    recognised and avoided. Although the
    experiments refer principally to steel water
    systems, the apparatus may be used as a test
    bench for other chemical systems.
    The equipment allows for the simultaneous study
    of up to eight corrosion cells of whatever type is
    selected according to the teaching syllabus being
    followed. Each test cell allows for the immersion
    of three similar test specimens in the test liquid at
    any one time, to eliminate 'rogue' results from
    untypical metal samples. Each sample is
    mounted in a manner that minimises secondary
    effects and the metal surface of known area is
    exposed to the test liquid.

    Corrosion rates are measured by both visual


    observation and direct weighing after a known
    period of immersion. Stirring is by air or inert gas
    agitation.
    All connecting glass and plastic tubing is
    provided, as are the appropriate supports for the
    specimens and glass test cells. A digital pH
    meter and microsensor is supplied to ensure the
    correct strength of initial test solutions. For the
    study of electrochemical corrosion effects, a low
    voltage supply is included together with all
    necessary electrical connections. Initial buffer
    powders of pH 4, 7 and 9 are supplied.
    The apparatus requires approximately 2m2 of
    laboratory bench space for experimentation by
    two students. A full instruction manual is
    provided explaining how each corrosion cell
    situation is set up and the results assessed.

    TYPICAL EXPERIMENTS
    The influence of pH on corrosion
    Iron and steel corrode in acid environments but
    much less so in alkaline situations. Students
    carry out corrosion tests at values of pH 4, 7
    and 9. The results are explained with reference
    to the electrode potential series.
    Stress corrosion
    Metal samples are stressed in a variety of
    simple ways, including bending, scratching,
    filing or drilling. The alteration of the metal
    crystal structure may explain the observed
    results.
    Brine and oxygen environments
    Oxygen may be artificially removed from water
    by nitrogen purging. Comparison of corrosion
    rates of metal samples in oxygenated and deoxygenated water may be related to localised
    ionic corrosion cells. The effects of sodium
    chloride solutions on the cells may also be
    deduced.
    Galvanic action
    Dissimilar metal pairs of steel/copper, and
    steel/zinc, are connected to form an electric
    circuit. The subsequent corrosion may be
    explained by reference to the electrode
    potential series.
    Cathodic protection by impressed voltage
    If platinum and steel are electrically connected,
    steel becomes the anode and corrodes in
    water. An external voltage may be applied to
    reverse the effect, thus protecting the steel.

    Electrolytic corrosion
    This demonstration shows that stray voltages
    between connected, dissimilar metals can
    greatly affect the corrosion rates. The low
    voltage D.C. supply is connected to various
    combinations of steel samples with platinum,
    zinc or copper samples.
    Corrosion inhibition
    The passivating influence of certain
    phosphates and silicates in solution on
    corrosion rates of steel may be demonstrated.
    Water treatment projects
    The following demonstrations may be
    conducted with the apparatus:
    Calcium carbonate stabilisation
    Oxidation of iron and manganese in
    ground waters
    Disinfection of waste water with chlorine
    solutions
    Water softening by chemical precipitation.
