The corrosion behavior of pure aluminum (Al) in 20 v/v% ethanol–gasoline blends has been studied using electrochemical techniques. Ethanol was obtained from different fruits including sugar cane, oranges, apples, or mangos, whereas other techniques included lineal polarization resistance, electrochemical noise, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy for 90 days. Results have shown that corrosion rates for Al in all the blends were higher than that obtained in gasoline. In addition, the highest corrosion rate was obtained in the blend containing ethanol obtained from sugar cane. The corrosion process was under charge transfer control in all blends; however, for some exposure times, it was under the adsorption/desorption control of an intermediate compound. Al was susceptible to a localized, plotting type of corrosion in all blends, but they were bigger in size and in number in the blend containing ethanol obtained from sugar cane.

The presence of Fe and harmful effects on mechanical properties of pure aluminum and aluminum alloys are introduced. Several purification methods are reviewed, but all of them are of definite limitations. It is effective that precipitation method, filtration method and centrifugal division method are integrated.

The crevice corrosion behaviors of X52 carbon steel in two typical Cl--containing solutions were investigated by electrochemical noise and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Results show that oxygen concentration difference leads to the coupled current in NaCl + NaHCO3 solution while HAc concentration difference causes the coupled current in NaCl solution saturated with CO2 in the presence of HAc. There exists an apparent incubation stage during the crevice corrosion process of X52 carbon steel in the former. However, no obvious incubation period of crevice corrosion can be observed in the latter. Micrography shows that the crevice corrosion occurs indeed and the corrosion inside the crevice is not uniform.

Recently, demand of aluminum alloys for manufacturing in components with high thermal conductivity application increases. However, the most aluminum die casting alloys exhibit very lower thermal properties, about only a half of pure aluminum. In die casting alloys, alloying elements are essential to obtain sufficient fluidity and mechanical strength, therefore, in this study, the effect of alloying elements, Si, Cu, Mg, Fe and Mn, on thermal conductivity, die casting characteristics and mechanical properties were analyzed and the appropriate amount of each alloying element were investigated. The results showed that Mn had the most deleterious effect in thermal conductivity and Si and Fe contents were important to improve fluidity and strength. The alloy with 1.5~2.0wt.%Si and 0.6wt.%Fe showed very good combination of high thermal conductivity and sufficient casting characteristics.

The characteristic parameters of electrochemical noise (EN) spectra were used to study the corrosion process of aluminum alloy in distilled water with or without chlorate (Cl-).The experimental results showed that the parameters obtained from the time-domain spectra analysis were not consistent with the parameters obtained from the frequency-domain analysis. This paper attempted to explain the phenomenon by the time-domain noise spectra, the corrosion characteristic of aluminum alloy, the source of noise transient, and the types of the pitting corrosion of aluminum alloy.

Abstract Porosity is one of the major defects in aluminum castings, which results is a decrease of a mechanical properties. Porosity in aluminum alloys is caused by solidification shrinkage and gas segregation. The final amount of porosity in aluminium castings is mostly influenced by several factors, as amount of hydrogen in molten aluminium alloy, cooling rate, melt temperature, mold material, or solidification interval. This article deals with effect of chemical composition on porosity in Al-Si aluminum alloys. For experiment was used Pure aluminum and four alloys: AlSi6Cu4, AlSi7Mg0, 3, AlSi9Cu1, AlSi10MgCu1.
