    In order to generate a nanoporous oxide film, stainless steel 304L is anodized using an alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) source in an ethylene glycol solution containing ammonium fluoride, NH4F, and water, H2O. This study focuses on the differences between AC and DC anodizing in terms of current density versus time response, thickness, and depth of the oxide film formed on the anodized specimens, surface roughness, and element composition of the specimens because there is limited study on AC anodizing of stainless steel. In 0.5% of 0.3M NH4F and 3% H2O in ethylene glycol solution, the AC and DC anodizing are conducted for 30 minutes at voltages ranging from 30V to 50V and 21.2 V to 35.4 V, respectively. The current density versus time response revealed that AC anodizing produced more current density than DC anodizing. As for the thickness and depth of the generated oxide films, only the specimens that have been anodized in AC indicated an increase in these films, whereas specimens that have been anodized in DC showed the metal dissolving as the specimens degraded. The surface roughness of AC anodized specimens reduced with increasing anodizing voltage, whereas DC anodized specimens increased with increasing anodizing voltage. The element composition of the anodized specimens revealed that the mass percentage of oxygen, O element is higher for AC anodized specimens compared to DC specimens. This suggests that AC anodizing on stainless steel might offer important advantages and should be further researched.

    The effect of AC anodizing on the formation of oxide film on stainless steel 304L (SS304L) surfaces and its influence on the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) were studied in this study. The SS304L specimens were prepared before being anodized for 30 minutes at various voltages (range from 10 V to 50 V) using an AC power supply at room temperature. The surface morphology is studied using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and 3D profilometer. A potentiostat is used to run linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) and Tafel analysis for the HER characterization. The result recorded the highest thickness of 9273.45 nm at 40 V anodizing voltage and the lowest surface roughness of 837.16 nm recorded at 50 V. The linear sweep polarization test solution exhibited the lowest overpotential at 50 V, 398.3 mV and a Tafel slope of 196 mVdec-1. These findings provide insight on the possibility of AC anodizing for improving the surface characteristics of SS304L for use in energy conversion applications.

    The behaviour of 800H nickel (Ni)-based alloy under isothermal oxidation condition was study in this paper. The isothermal oxidation behaviour was examined in terms of fine grained and coarse grained 800H Ni-based alloy obtained from heat treatment operation at 1000 °C and 1150 °C, respectively. The heat-treated samples were undergo an isothermal oxidation attempt at 500 °C in laboratory air for 500 hours exposure duration. The effects on the oxidation kinetics was examined in terms of weight change measurement. In addition, the effects on the oxide scale growth was observed in terms of phase analysis using XRD technique and surface morphology analysis using FESEM outfitted with EDX spectrometer. As a results, both fine grained and coarse grained 800H Ni-based alloy were obey a parabolic rate law showing that the oxide growth rate was followed a diffusion-controlled mechanism. Additionally, fine grained 800H Ni-based alloy sample exhibited a inferior oxidation rate compared to coarse grained sample. The XRD analysis exhibited that the oxides scale composed of Cr2O3, TiO2 and MnCr2O4. The observation on the oxide scale morphology indicate that uniform oxide scales were formed on the alloy surface of both samples. However, coarse grained 800H Ni-based alloy recorded an oxide exfoliation which indicate poor oxidation protection.

    A novel method of anodizing stainless steel (SS) 304L with alternating current (AC) as the power source is presented in order to generate a porous oxide layer. This study aims to investigate the influence of AC anodizing of SS304L on hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity and characterize the morphology of oxide film formed. The AC anodization method was carried out using an AC power source in a solution of ammonium fluoride, NH4F, water, H2O and ethylene glycol at room temperature, with anodizing time ranging from 10 to 50 minutes. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and a 3D profiler were used to characterize the surface morphology, and a potentiostat is used to study the behaviour of the HER. The results show that the oxide film gradually covered the SS304L surface and fully covered at 30 minutes anodizing time, then begin to crack at 40 and 50 minutes. The thickness of the layer reached its maximum at 5248.67 nm with pore size of 380.13 nm after 30 minutes and then gradually began to decrease. Notably, the lowest HER activity, measuring -426.58 mV, was detected after 30 minutes. These findings clarified the relationship between the AC anodizing time, oxide film morphology, and HER activity, making it easier to optimize stainless steel 304L for enhanced hydrogen evolution applications.

    A two-step anodization process has been widely used to grow a perfectly arranged Anodic Aluminum Oxide (AAO) nanoporous with high regularity and circularity. However, this method requires more time and electricity cost since the second step anodization will be conducted more than a couple of hours up to 24 h to obtain a perfect hexagonally arranged AAO. Besides, the usage of toxic chromic acid to remove the rough surface after the first anodization is not recommended. To solve this issue, a single-step of anodization method to grow AAO at 15 °C in 0.3 M of oxalic acid at 40 V for 1 h has been proposed. In this study, the growth AAO thin film will be tested as a DNA biosensor electrode. Prior to that, instead of using toxic chemicals, couple of drops of phosphoric acid solutions were used to treat the rough, uneven surfaces by promoting hydroxyl groups while at the same time widening and revealed the underneath pores. The AAO thin film is ready for the next step of surface modification without a second anodization step. Surface chemical functionalization using 3-aminopropyl-triethoxysilane (APTES) and glutaraldehyde is performed to immobilize the aminated-ssDNA probe on the surface. The electrochemical impedance technique is employed to monitor the changes in each layer of surface modifications. The charged transfer resistance (Rct) values are linearly increased with each new additional layer on the AAO surfaces during each step of surface modification and with the increase in ssDNA complementary target concentrations (10 fM-10 μM). From the performance test, the single-step AAO thin film electrode has shown great results in functioning as a DNA biosensor through a selectivity test. It has the capability to differentiate the complementary sequences from the single mismatched target with 3-fold.

    Zero charge corrosion protection, ZCCP, is a new invention in the field of corrosion protection. It applies alternating current, AC, mode while the protective potential to ensure that the metal exposed in the corrosive environment still does not exist in any of the previous works of literature. The study was conducted by the voltage scanning within corrosion potential, Ecorr, and polarized potential, Eimpressed, using potentiostat. It was carried out by examining the behavior of the current flow in the circuit. The experimental results found that the protective potential for maximum protection in the ZCCP system is 0 mV. By keeping the AC metal potential at 0 mV, the surface will not acquire any charges, hence the corrosion reaction will be inhibited.

    The concept of zero charge potential (Epzc) is manipulated to eliminates the effect of the electric double layer in order to mitigate the corrosion reactions through the zero-charge corrosion protection (ZCCP) method. The efficiency of the ZCCP method was examined by planned intervals test on pure Mg metal in 3.5% NaCl solution. The test results showed that the tendency of both liquid corrosiveness and metal corrodibility are decreased from -1562.7mm/yr (Eocp) to -98.2mm/yr (Epzc). ZCCP technique was succeeded by corrosion protection efficiency of pure Mg which was recorded between 93 to 96% in 3.5%) NaCl solution.

    A novel method of anodizing stainless steel (SS) 304L with alternating current (AC) as the power source is presented in the interest of producing a porous oxide film. Since there is a scarcity of research on AC anodizing, this research work is focused on the electrochemistry and morphology of the oxide film generated on the SS304L. The anodizing is done in an ethylene glycol solution containing different concentrations of ammonium fluoride, NH4F, varying from 0.5 wt.% to 7 wt.%. The anodizing voltage is fixed to 40 V and the process is carried out at 25oC for 30 minutes. The electrochemical studies using the Tafel polarization method in terms of corrosion rate showed decreased values from 0.2842 mm/year to 0.1026 mm/year of the as-received, and anodized 3.0 wt.% specimens, respectively. For morphological studies, the oxide film formed on the anodized SS304L is characterized using a scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and the thickness of the oxide film formed is recorded using 3D profilometer. The morphology demonstrated the formation of the porous arrangement with localized parts of the surface oxide layer and the thickness of the oxide film rises at 2.65 µm and 4.29 µm, respectively, when the NH4F concentration increases from 0.5 wt.% to 1.0 wt.%. This indicates that there are significant advantages of using AC anodizing on stainless steel.

    This study investigates the application of alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) anodization techniques on stainless steel 304L (SS304L) in an ethylene glycol and ammonium fluoride (NH4F) electrolyte solution to produce a nano-porous oxide layer. With limited research on AC anodizing of stainless steel, this study focuses on comparing AC and DC anodization in terms of current density versus time response, phase analysis using X-ray diffraction (XRD), and corrosion rate determined by linear polarization. Both AC and DC anodization were performed for 60 minutes at 50 V in an electrolyte solution containing 0.5% NH4F and 3% H2O in ethylene glycol. The results show that AC anodization exhibited higher current density compared to DC anodization. XRD analysis revealed the presence of ferrite (α-Fe) and austenite (γ-Fe) phases in the as-received specimen, while both AC and DC anodized specimens exhibited only the γ-Fe phase. The corrosion rate of the AC-anodized specimen was measured at 0.00083 mm/year, lower than the corrosion rate of the DC-anodized specimen at 0.00197 mm/year. These findings indicate that AC anodization on stainless steel offers advantages in terms of higher current density, phase transformation, and lower corrosion rate compared to DC anodization. These results highlight the need for further investigation and exploration of AC anodization as a promising technique for enhancing the electrochemical properties of stainless steel.
