A simulated occluded cell was utilized to study the localized corrosion in seawatcr and desalination treatment in alkaline solution of simulated cast iron artifacts. After the simulated occluded cell galvanostatic test, high acidity and enrichment in chloride ions in the occluded cell were demonstrated as a result of an autocatalytic process. In addition, scanning electron microscopy (SEM and energy dispersive !"ray analysis (E#! indicated the degree of the localized corrosion and the enrichment in chloride ions. An investigation was also made of the chemical changes within the occluded cell during the desalination treatment$ the results showed that the p% values and the amount of chloride ion removed from the occluded cell increased with the treatment time. &he decrease in chloride of the corroded surface of the specimen was confirmed 'y E#!. &he research appeared to prove that the simulated occluded cell is capa'le of providing useful information on the localized corrosion and desalination treatment of simulated cast iron artifacts. INTRODUCTION Nowadays the storage of cast iron artifacts recoered from marine sites has receied e!tensie attention" One of the most serious #ro$lems facing conserators and conseration scientists is how to sta$ilize iron artifacts against further corrosion under faoura$le enironmental conditions" The ingress of chloride ions is of #articular concern $ecause they are aggressie and can #romote corrosion %&' ()" Since they hae deleterious effects on corrosion #erformance' chloride ions must $e remoed %*+" Therefore' it is worthwhile inestigating the mechanism of localized corrosion and desalination treatment of cast iron artifacts" The localized corrosion of cast iron artifacts is a com#le! electrochemical #rocess' with the anodic and cath,odic reactions occurring at s#atially se#arate #oints %-+" During corrosion' the iron, containing #hases are corroded $ut the gra#hite remains as an interlin.ed three,dimensional networ. which retains the original sha#e of the artifact %&+" It has $een agreed that the solution within the gra#hitized region of corroded marine cast iron is essentially a ferrous chloride solution' with a concentration of & / or greater and #0 -"1 %2+" Local acidification and chloride ion enrichment could $e e!#lained $y the model deelo#ed $y Turgoose %3+" which was in some ways similar to creice or #itting corrosion on iron e!#osed to a solution containing chloride ions" Within these occluded caities' the #resence of chloride ions indeed contri$utes to a corrosion cycle 456" The autocatalytic #rocess is a feature common to the localized corrosion of cast iron artifacts in seawater" Detailed studies of the autocatalytic #rocess will certainly hel# in understanding the localized corrosion #rocess" To date' there hae $een no direct techni7ues to measure either the #0 alues or the chloride concentration in the #ore solution" On the other hand' the remoal of chloride ions is a$solutely essential for the conseration of iron artifacts" The #rinci#al aim of any treatment of archaeological iron of marine origin is to eliminate chloride from the corrosion #roducts" It this is done successfully' the deelo#ment of the corrosion #rocess due to chloride ceases and the rate of corrosion is reduced to a more managea$le leel' where conentional methods to counter corrosion can o#erate efficiently" When artifacts are soa.ed in a treatment solution' the hydro!ide ions diffuse into the corrosion #roduct reacting with chloride, containing com#ounds to #roduce free chlonde ions' and then chloride ions diffuse out from the #ores of high chloride ion concentration into the treatment solution %1)" The chloride ion diffusion tends to $e releant to the #rocesses occurring in solution,filled #ores" At #resent' there is no consensus as to the o#timum treatment and one reason for this a##ears to $e that there is no relia$le method of assessing the ongoing #rocess during treatment" Conse7uently' a thorough .nowledge of the chloride ion migration in occluded #ores during the treatment is essential if desalination methods are to $e carried out successfully" It would $e of great #ractical interest to hae a #hysical model which ena$led the study of the microsco#ic mechanism of the localized corrosion of cast iron artifacts and chlonde ion migration during corrosion and desalination" The method using a simulated occluded cell is a conenient way to reeal the chemical changes within an occluded cell' and has $een confirmed $y many researchers %8+' including /ars 9" :ontana and /arcel ;our$ai!" <!#erimental data' com$ined with the #hysical descri#tion of the localized corrosion #rocess' should #roe useful for deelo#ing more ersatile' #henomenological corrosion #rediction and conseration for cast iron artifacts" In this #a#er' it is intended to inestigate the changes of chemical states within the occluded cells of simulated cast iron artifacts in *"2 wt= NaCl solution and ("2 wt= NaO0 solution $y use of a simulated occluded cell" In addition' scanning electron microsco#y 4S</6 and energy dis#ersie X, ray analysis 4<DX6 were ado#ted to analyse corrosion mor#hology and com#onents" EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN The s#ecimens were made of grey cast iron to simulate cast iron artifacts" A simulated occluded cell a##aratus was used in the study of localized corrosion and desalination treatment" 4A full descri#tion of the simulated occluded cell is #roided in the A##endi!"6 A simulated occluded cell galanostatic test was carried out in *"2 wt= NaCl solution' which was the medium to simulate seawater corrosion" The glass container was filled with the solution and its #0 was ad>usted to 5' though seawater is normally in the range 1"(,5"1" At room tem#erature' the solution was in>ected into the occluded cell" An anodic current density of & mA,cm ( was a##lied to the occluded s#ecimen to simulate the cou#le current in and out of the occluded cell" The chloride ion concentration and #0 in the simulated occluded cell were monitored at arious time interals" During desalination treatment the simulated occluded cell' after -1 hours of galanostatic tests' was immersed in a glass container containing ("2 wt= sodium hydro!ide" The #0 alues and the chloride contents in the occluded cell at different time interals were monitored in order to determine the #rogress of chloride ion release" Details of the e!#erimental #rocedures are descri$ed in the A##endi!" S#ecimens after tests were #hotogra#hed $y S</ and analysed $y <DX" RESULTS AND DISCUSSION After the simulated occluded cell galanostatic tests' the #0 alues in the occluded solution oer time under & mA,cm ,( anodic current density are shown in :igure &" It can $e seen that the #0 dro##ed shar#ly within the first hour from 5 to 2"31' then tended to decrease gradually" After 5( hours of accelerated corrosion' the #0 alue dro##ed to *"13" The reason for this was that localized corrosion too. #lace inside the occluded cell" The localized corrosion inside the occluded cell resulted from the esta$lishment of differential o!ygen cells and was continued $y the stimulation of the autocatalytic #rocess which #romoted local acidification and chloride ion enrichment" Local acidification that occurred inside the occluded cell inoled dissolution of the anode and hydrolysis of the dissoled metal ions" Cations dissoled from the anode Figure 1 (all in p% in the occluded cell with time with a ) mA"cm "* current density passing through the specimen. found difficulty in diffusing outwards $ecause of the greater immo$ility of the solution in the occluded cell com#ared to the $ul. solution" In conse7uence' their concentrations increased" The accumulation and hydro,lysis of :e (? resulted in local acidification in the occluded cell" The hydrolysis reactions are gien $elow %3+@ The generation of free acid lowered the #0 alue and' inersely' the increase in acidity accelerated localized corrosion" The effect in the occluded cell of acidification causing accelerated localized corrosion actiity is called the Aautocatalytic effectA %&B+" As anodic current #asses through the occluded s#ecimens' the autocatalytic #rocess continues at a steady rate in the occluded cell' and the #0 alue gradually decreases" On the other hand' chloride ions migrated inward from the $ul. solution simultaneously with local acidification" :igure ( is re#resentatie of the 7uantity of chloride ion migration in the occluded cell at arious time interals under & mA,cm ,( anodic current density" It was found that the chloride ion migration increased in a linear relationshi# with the increase of time" As noted #reiously' dissolution of the anode resulted in an increase in :e (? ion concentration" In order to $alance the e!cess #ositie charge #roduced in the occluded cell' negatie chloride ions hae to migrate inwards from the $ul. solution to maintain electrical neutrality %5+' which causes chloride ion enrichment in the occluded cell" /oreoer' the autocatalytic #rocess .ee#s chloride ions migrating inwards' and therefore chloride ion concentration increases with time" As long as the cast iron s#ecimen is corroding and #roducing :e (? ions' chloride ions will diffuse in and concentrate in the occluded cell" As a result of the autocatalytic #rocess inside the occluded cell' the acidity, 4ia hydrolysis6 and chloride concentration 4ia migration6 increased with time" The relationshi# $etween #0 and chloride ion concentration m the occluded cell at & mA"cm ,( current density is #resented in :igure *" It is eident that the #0 alue in the occluded cell dro##ed ra#idly from 5 to $elow 2' and thereafter decreased linearly' indicating that the decrease in the #0 alue was accom#anied $y an increase in chloride ion concentration" Figure 3 +elationship 'etween p% value and the chloride ion concentration in the occluded cell.

In addition' micro,caities and crac.s could $e seen in :igure -d" The formation of these micro,caities and crac.s was ealuated in relation to the acid #roduced and the formation of the solid #roducts' which could gie rise to local stresses and cause dissolution of other corrosion #roducts' there$y chemically assisting the #ro#agation of crac.s and aiding the disintegration of the rust layers %&&+" The general conclusion was that the autocatalytic effect e!erts a greater influence on the sam#le after the -1,hour test than on the sam#le after the (-,hour test" In order to o$tain a $etter understanding ot outward diffusion of chloride ions' the simulated occluded cell is also used in the desalination treatment" /onitoring the #0 in the occluded cell oer time #roides more details during chloride remoal' which is shown in :igure 2" The #0 alue in the occluded cell rises gradually with the s7uare root of the treatment time" The reason tor the increase in the #0 alue is the increase m hydro!ide ion concentration in the occluded cell" The inward flow of the hydro!ide ions is due to the concentration gradient $etween inside and outside oF the occluded cell" In general' the high mo$ility of hydro!ide ions and their concentration in the treatment solution maintain the inward diffusion of hydro!ide ions' thus the #0 alue increases gradually oer time" As a result of the ingress of hydro!ide ions' chloride ions diffuse outwards from the occluded cell into the washing solution" After immersion' the amount of chloride ion remoed from the occluded cell increased with the s7uare root of time as shown in :igure 3" It can also $e seen that the results are diided into two stages" It is generally acce#ted that two ste#s might occur when a marine iron artifact is soa.ed in the treatment solution %1+" One is the reaction of dissolution of the A:eOClA to #roduce free chloride ionsG the other is the moement of the chloride ions from their #oint of #roduction inside the corrosion #roduct to the $ul. wash solution" After galanic testing for -1 hours at & mA"cm ,( anodic current density' the s#ecimen released :e (? ions into the occluded solution" It has $een re#orted that chloride ions #resent in the iron corrosion #roducts are tra##ed within the lattice structure of the arious iron o!yhydro!idesG among them' ferric o!ychloride 4:eOCl6 is the dominant chloride, containing corrosion #roduct on cast iron %&(H&-I" In the case of the galanic test' :eOCl' which is not sta$le m air' may $e #resent as an intermediate #hase during the corrosion #rocess due to lac. of o!ygen in the occluded cell and $e conerted to J,:eOO0 once e!#osed to air" North has #ro#osed Figure 5 +elationship 'etween p% in the occluded cell and the s0uare root of the treatment time. Figure 6 &he amount of chloride ion removed as a function of the s0uare roof of the treatment time. the mechanism $y which chlorides in the corrosion #roducts are conerted to free chloride ions during chloride remoal" The reaction is gien $y %&2+@ The hydro!ide ions diffuse into the occluded cell and react with chloride,containing com#ounds to #roduce free chloride ions" Then the chloride ions migrate outwards $ecause of the concentration gradients $etween inside and outside of the occluded cell' and the remoal of chloride should $e achieed" The data in :igure 3 indicate that there may $e two stages inoled in the washing" The initial stage is controlled $y the reaction ot dissolution of the :eOCl and in turn this is controlled $y the outward diffusion of chloride ions" In stage I" it is due to the ra#id ingress ot hydro!ide ions in the occluded cell' which allows the dissolution of the :eOCl' and the more chloride ions #resent in the occluded solution the more chloride ions can $e trans#orted" Thus' the amount of chloride ion remoed ra#idly increases" In stage II' the amount of chloride ions remoed increases gradually $ecause of the decrease in the concentration gradients ot hydro!ide ions $etween inside and outside of the occluded cell" The reaction of dissolution of the :eOCl may not $e a significant factor in determining chloride release rate" The outward diffusion of chloride ions may then #lay an im#ortant role in the washing" As the rate,controlling #rocess is generally outward diffusion ot chloride ions in the washing method' the rate of chloride ion release from the occluded cell into the wash solution follows the diffusion law %1+" According to this law' the diffusion e7uation #redicts that the amount of chloride ion remoed aries linearly with the s7uare root of the treatment time" Such a line is shown in :igure 3' and the agreement $etween theory and e!#eriment indicates that diffusion is the rate,controlling #rocess in stage II" The release rate of chloride ions can $e o$tained $y analysis of chloride ion remoal data measured in the occluded solution' which has seldom $een used in the literature" The chloride ion e!traction rate at a s#ecific time is defined $y the instantaneous slo#e at that time' which is the deriatie of the amount of chloride ions remoed from the occluded cell with res#ect to time %*+" :igure 5 is a #lot of the chloride ion e!traction rate as a function of treatment time" Figure 7 &he chloride ion e1traction rate from the occluded cell with treatment time. It was tound that the chloride ion e!traction rate decreased ra#idly at the $eginning and then $ecame almost sta$le' with a minor decrease with the increase of washing time" Cy monitoring the amount of chloride ion e!tracted and constructing a gra#h from this information' the chloride ion e!traction rate can $e used to ealuate the effectieness of different treatment solutions $y using the same occluded cell" /oreoer' the chloride ion e!traction rate as a guide to the #rogress of the treatment can #roide a signal to change the treatment solution when the cure leels out into a #lateau region" 0aing achieed an understanding of the #rocess of chloride remoal' it can $e a##lied to increase the desalination efficiency" X,ray energy dis#ersie s#ectrometry 4<DX6 of sam#les $efore and atter the 5(,hour desalination treatment is shown in :igure 1" :igure 1a shows the chemical com#osition of the s#ecimen after the -1,hour galanic test at & mA,cm ,( anodic current density and :igure 1$ is the <DX analysis of the corroded s#ecimen atter the 5(,hour desalination treatment which followed the a##lication of a & mA,cm ,( anodic current density for -1 hours" The #resence of :e" /n' Si' ;' S and Cl could $e o$sered" Com#aring these two #ictures" :igure 1a was rich in chloride and :igure 1$ was low in chloride" Figure 8 ,hemical composition of specimens 'efore and after the treatment analysed 'y E#!.

Adicioualmente, micrografPas o'tenidas por microscopPa electrMnica de 'arrido (SEM y energPa dispersiva de rayos ! (E#S mostraron el grado de corrosiMn localizada y el aumento de iones cloruro. Se realizM ademOs una investigaciMn so're los cam'ios 0uPmicos ocurridos en el interior de la c?lula cerrada durante el tratamiento de desalinizaciMn$ los resultados mostraron 0ue los valores del p% y la cantidad de iones cloruro eliminados aumenta'an cu el transcurso del tratamiento. Ea disminuciMn de los cloruros en la superficie corroPda de las muestras se confirmM mediante E#S. Ea investigaciMn parece pro'ar 0ue la c?lula cerrada simulada es capaz de suministrar informaciMn muy Ntil so're corrosiMn localizada y tratamientos de desalinizaciMn en o'5etos simulados de hierro fundido.
