Методы защиты от коррозии

Сравнение цинкования, масляного покрытия и протекторной защиты

Electrochemistry Beginner (Middle School) 30 мин ~$8,00

Цель

Сравнить различные методы защиты от коррозии и понять принцип работы гальванической защиты (протекторных анодов).

Предпосылки

Iron rusts when it is oxidized by oxygen in the presence of water. Various methods can prevent this: physical barriers (oil, paint), galvanizing (zinc coating), and sacrificial anodes (zinc blocks). The galvanic methods work because zinc is more reactive than iron and corrodes preferentially.

Предупреждения по безопасности

  • Handle nails carefully to avoid cuts
  • Nail polish should be used in ventilated area

Требуемые СИЗ

goggles

Материалы

  • Iron nails (6) (6)
    Identical, clean
  • Zinc strip (1 piece)
    Wrap around one nail
  • Copper wire (30 cm)
    Wrap around one nail
  • Petroleum jelly (small amount)
    For coating
  • Clear nail polish (1 bottle)
    For coating
  • Sodium chloride (NaCl) (30 g)
    Salt water accelerates rusting
  • Distilled water (300 mL)

Оборудование

6 test tubes and rack Marker for labeling Timer

Процедура

1

Label six test tubes: Control, Oil, Nail Polish, Zinc, Copper, Dry.

2 мин
2

Prepare nails: coat one with petroleum jelly, one with nail polish, wrap one with zinc strip, wrap one with copper wire, leave two uncoated.

8 мин Use nail polish in ventilated area
3

Prepare salt water: dissolve 10 g NaCl in 100 mL water.

2 мин
4

Place one prepared nail in each test tube. Add salt water to all except the Dry tube. The Dry tube gets a dry nail as additional control.

3 мин
5

Observe all tubes immediately and record initial appearance.

2 мин
6

Check all tubes after 24 hours, 48 hours, and 1 week. Record the extent of rust formation in each.

10 мин
7

Compare results. Rank methods by effectiveness and explain the electrochemical principles.

Ожидаемые результаты

After 1 week: Control (heavy rust), Oil (minimal rust), Nail Polish (minimal rust), Zinc-wrapped (no rust on iron, zinc corrodes instead), Copper-wrapped (accelerated rusting near copper due to galvanic corrosion), Dry (no rust). Zinc provides galvanic protection; copper accelerates corrosion.

Уборка

Dispose of salt water down the drain. Discard rusty nails. Clean test tubes.
