"Room temperature ionic liquids (RTIL) were found to be a kind of versatile lubricant with excellent friction-reduction, anti-wear performance. However, our knowledge is insufficient for understanding their corrosive properties," scientists in Lanzhou, People's Republic of China report.
"In the present work, the effects of the alkylimidazolium tetrafluoroborates and hexafluorophosphates on the corrosion properties of AISI 52100 (UNS G52986) carbon. steels were studied using potentiodynamic scanning, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and electrochemical noise (EN). The results show that the carbon steel had a lower corrosion rate in ...
