Abstract The influence of metal inert-gas arc welding (MIG) on the corrosion behavior of 6061-T6 aluminum alloy in a simulated tropical marine atmospheric environment (related to high temperature, high humidity and high salt spray) were examined by dry-wet alternate immersion corrosion tests. The equivalent conversion was used to design the accelerated test time. The results show that in the initial stage, the intermetallic compound, rich in Fe, Si and Cu, had little influence on corrosion resistance in the heat-affected zone. For a corrosion time of 3 days in a tropical marine atmospheric environment, the corrosion rate of the welded joint increased rapidly, even reaching 3.5 times that of the base metal. Though the corrosion products had significant impact on slowing down the corrosion rate, as with the base metal, the corrosion rate of the welded joint was nearly double that of the base metal during the longest cycle period involving alternate immersion corrosion tests for 20 days.

The influence of ultraviolet rays on the corrosion behavior of 7075 aluminum alloy in the marine atmosphere was studied by salt spray corrosion test. Electrochemical methods and surface analysis techniques were used to analyze and compare the corrosion laws of 7075 aluminum alloy in the marine atmosphere under ultraviolet radiation with wavelengths of 0 nm, 185 nm, 254 nm, and 365 nm. The results showed that ultraviolet light irradiation could promote the corrosion of 7075 aluminum alloy. Oxygen was prone to chemical reactions to form oxygen atoms after being irradiated by ultraviolet rays, and oxygen atoms recombined with oxygen to form ozone in the marine atmosphere. The 7075 aluminum alloy in the marine atmosphere accelerated corrosion due to the increasing ozone content. Although there were passivation films with different degrees of protection on the surface of aluminum alloy under ultraviolet irradiation, the surface of 7075 aluminum alloy in the marine atmosphere failed to form a stable passivation film after pitting, and the corrosion rate was the fastest when the ultraviolet wavelength was 185 nm.

Corrosion behavior and mechanism of 6082-T6 Al-alloy twin wire MIG welded joint under salt spray corrosion in 5 wt.% NaCl solution were investigated via laser scan confocal microscope, scanning electron microscope spectrometer and infrared spectroscope. Pitting was seen on both weld seam and the base metal resulted from Cl-. Uniform corrosion was also seen on the weld seam, grain boundaries had been corroded and approximate circular corrosion channels were observed, while evident pitting corrosion was seen in the base metal. Corrosion resistance of the base metal was better than that of the weld seam. The main corrosion products were composed of Al2O3, Al(OH)3and AlCl3•6H2O. Corrosion had a slight effect on the test sample's tensile strength, and serious results on the plasticity of the joints. In addition, transition from prior corrosion ductile to after corrosion hybrid brittle and ductile morphology was also found on the fracture surface.

The high-temperature corrosion behavior of Ni3Al+2.9 wt% Cr alloy was studied in SO2-containing environment. Corrosion tests were carried out at 900, 1000, and 1100 °C for 100 h in atmospheric Ar-0.2% SO2 gas. The alloy corroded relatively slowly due mainly to formation of Al2O3 in the scale. Its corrosion kinetics deviated from the parabolic corrosion rate law to a certain extent owing to ensuing scale spallation. This was attributed to (1) stress generated during scaling and the subsequent cooling period, (2) voids that formed due to the Kirkendall effect, and (3) incorporation of sulfur in the scale. The scale that formed after corrosion at 900 °C consisted of the outer NiO scale, middle NiAl2O4 scale, and inner Al2O3 scale. The increased corrosion rate at 1000 and 1100 °C led to formation of the outer NiO scale, and inner Al2O3 scale.

ABSTRACTCorrosion behavior is a key issue in the assessment of disposal performance for activated waste such as spent fuel assemblies (i.e., hulls and end-pieces) because corrosion is expected to initiate radionuclide (e.g., C-14) leaching from such waste. Because the anticipated corrosion rate is extremely low, understanding and modeling Zircaloy (Zry) corrosion behavior under geological disposal conditions is important in predicting very long-term corrosion. Corrosion models applicable in the higher temperature ranges of nuclear reactors have been proposed based on considerable testing in the 523−633 K temperature range.In this study, corrosion tests were carried out to confirm the applicability of such existing models to the low temperature range of geological disposal, and to examine the influence of material, environmental, and other factors on corrosion rates under geological disposal conditions. A characterization analysis of the generated oxide film was also performed.To confirm applicability, the corrosion rate of Zry-4 in pure water with a temperature change from 303 K to 433 K was obtained using a hydrogen measuring technique, giving a corrosion rate for 180 days of 8 × 10-3 μm/y at 303 K.To investigate the influence of various factors, corrosion tests were carried out. The corrosion rates for Zry-2 and Zry-4 were almost same, and increased with a temperature increase from 303 K to 353 K. The influence of pH (12.5) compared with pure water was about 1.4 at 180 days at 303 K.

Based on the real annual average value of atmospheric environmental data in the Wanning area of Hainan Province in China by selecting 7075 ultra-high-strength aluminum alloy specimens for aviation, a new corrosion solution was designed and the traditional alternate immersion corrosion method of using the alternate immersion corrosion test box was improved to simulate the environment of the internal structure of the aircraft. On this basis, two kinds of corrosion damage parameters, the depth of corrosion pits and corrosion rate, were quickly and accurately obtained by the three-dimensional profile of the specimen and binarization images’ method. The optimal linear regression equation combination of pitting depth and corrosion rate was established, and the dynamic evolution equation of the depth of corrosion pits and corrosion rate was obtained. The results showed that: The depth of corrosion pits in the early stage of corrosion (8 h and 24 h) obeyed the Gumbel distribution and Weibull distribution, respectively, and the later stage (48 h, 72 h, 96 h, and 120 h) conformed to the normal distribution; the depth of corrosion pits’ evolution law was in the form of double straight lines and the corrosion rate evolution law was in the power function form (y = a × xb); and the depth of corrosion pits changed rapidly in the early stage and gradually slowed down in the later stage, while the corrosion rate was just the opposite.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of welding procedure on the corrosion behaviors of weathering steel 09CuPCrNi in marine atmospheric environment. The corrosion processes of weathering steel 09CuPCrNi and its welded joints in marine atmospheric environment were simulated by a salt spray dry-wet test. Design/methodology/approach The corrosion behaviors of the base metal and the welded joints at corrosion times of 2, 4, 8, 12, 24 weeks were investigated by weight loss test, electrochemical techniques, scanning electron microscope (SEM) and electron probe micro-analyzer (EPMA). The corrosion rates, as well as the morphologies and electrochemical characteristics of corrosion products, the distribution of major alloying elements in rust layer were obtained. The influence of welding on the atmospheric corrosion of 09CuPCrNi was studied. Findings The results indicate that the corrosion rate of the 09CuPCrNi welded joints decreases gradually with the corrosion time, and the major alloying elements are enriched in the inner rust layer, which are similar to that of the base metal. In the early stage during the corrosion process, the welded joints with inhomogeneous structure show the poorer corrosion resistance than that of the base metal. However, it looks the opposite way around in the late corrosion stage, when the uniform corrosion products with even thickness of the base metal tend to detach from the substrate easier and earlier and resulting in cracks, which increase the corrosion rate comparatively with that of the welded joints. Originality/value 09CuPCrNi low alloy steel is a kind of typical weathering steel developed in China which is similar to Corten A developed by USA. Nowadays, 09CuPCrNi low alloy steel is widely adopted in many fields which require welding processes. In the past years, the research of weathering steel welded joints was mainly concentrated on the strength, toughness and weldability. Less work has been done to investigate the difference of corrosion evolution and characteristics between the base metal and its welded joints. Thus, the main objective of the present work was to analyze the influence of welding on the atmospheric corrosion.

The effect of Sn addition on corrosion behavior of Mg-6Al-1.2Y-0.9Nd alloy in 3.5wt.% NaCl solution has been researched by static corrosion tests, corrosion morphologies observation, microstructure and corrosion scale analysis. The result shows that, with the content of Sn increasing, the corrosion rate decreases at first and then increases. When the addition of Sn is 1wt.%, the corrosion rate is the lowest and the corrosion resistance is improved obviously.
