High Strength Aluminum Alloys

In the present investigation, the plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) process was employed to form aluminum oxide coating layers to enhance corrosion resistance properties of high-strength aluminum alloys. The formed protective coating layers were examined by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and characterized by several electrochemical techniques, including open circuit potential (OCP), linear potentiodynamic polarization (LP) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results were reported in comparison with the bare 6061-O aluminum alloy to determine the corrosion performance of the coated 6061-O alloy. The PEO-treated aluminum alloy showed substantially higher corrosion resistance in comparison with the untreated substrate material. A relationship was found between the coating formation stage, process parameters and the thickness of the oxide-formed layers, which has a measurable influence on enhancing corrosion resistance properties. This study demonstrates promising results of utilizing PEO process to enhance corrosion resistance properties of high-strength aluminum alloys and could be recommended as a method used in industrial applications.

Features of the anode electrolytic plasma processing of commercial pure titanium and its alloys in aqueous solutions of ammonium chloride and ammonia additives are studied. It is identified that structure of modified layer contains an external TiO2 or TiO layer with micropores of up to 100 nm and a diffusion sub-layer after nitriding in the solution with the ammonia addition. Some increase in the surface microhardness is found. The plasma electrolytic treatment of titanium makes it possible to enhance its corrosion resistance by short-term (5 min) saturation with nitrogen at 750 °C in an electrolyte containing 5% ammonia and 10% ammonium chloride. The oxide coating formed during the anodic treatment has a positive effect on the corrosion resistance of titanium and results in reduce of the corrosion rate by two orders under continuous tests. Saturation of titanium samples with nitrogen leads to an increase in their strength properties after corrosion tests with a slight decrease in ductility. An additional advantage of this coating is to reduce of leaching of alloying elements from samples in corrosive environments.

Aa6063 Aluminum Alloy

Intermetallic compound Al3Ti-based IMC coatings were formed on AA6063 aluminum alloy by laser cladding. The microstructure and corrosion characteristics in 3.5% NaCl solution were investigated. The results show that, the laser cladding coating is made up of Al3Ti dendrites, interdendritic α-Al and uniform distribution of TiC which hardly melted during laser irradiation, and shows good bonding to the substrate. The cross distribution of Al3Ti and α-Al helps to avoid the generation of cracks in the coating. The corrosion resistance of the laser cladding coatings is greatly increased as compared with the substrate, which owes mainly to the existence of hard Al3Ti and TiC. And with the increasing of TiC content in the coating, the corrosion resistance is improved simultaneously.

There are many methods for incorporating organic corrosion inhibitors to oxide coatings formed on aluminum alloys. However, typically they require relatively concentrated solutions of inhibitors, possibly generating a problematic waste and/or are time-/energy-consuming (elevated temperature is usually needed). The authors propose a three-step method of oxide layer formation on 6061-T651 aluminum alloy (AAs) via alternating current (AC) plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO), impregnation with an 8-hydroxyquinoline (8-HQ) solution, and final sealing by an additional direct current (DC) polarization in the original PEO electrolyte. The obtained coatings were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, roughness tests, contact angle measurements, X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Additionally, corrosion resistance was assessed by potentiodynamic polarization in a NaCl solution. Two types of the coating were formed (A—thicker, more porous at 440 mA cm−2; B—thinner, more compact at 220 mA cm−2) on the AA substrate. The 8-HQ impregnation was successful as evidenced by XPS. It increased the contact angle only for the B coatings and improved the corrosion resistance of both coating systems. Additional DC treatment destroyed superficially adsorbed 8-HQ. However, it served to block the coating pores (contact angle ≈ 80°) which improved the corrosion resistance of the coating systems. DC sealing alone did not bring about the same anti-corrosion properties as the combined 8-HQ impregnation and DC treatment which dispels the notion that the provision of the inhibitor was a needless step in the procedure. The proposed method of AA surface treatment suffered from unsatisfactory uniformity of the sealing for the thicker coatings, which needs to be amended in future efforts for optimization of the procedure.
