6082 Al Alloy

In this work, the effect of pH (3, 7 and 10) on the stress corrosion cracking behavior of 6082 aluminum alloy, in a 0.3 M sodium chloride (NaCl) aqueous based solution was investigated. The stress corrosion cracking behavior was studied with slow strain rate testing, whereas failure analysis of the fractured surfaces was used to identify the dominant degradation mechanisms. The experimental results clearly indicated that stress corrosion cracking behavior of this aluminum alloy strongly depends on the pH of the solution. In particular, the highest drop in ultimate tensile strength and ductility was observed for the alkaline pH, followed by the acidic, whereas the lowest susceptibility was observed in the neutral pH environment. This observation is attributed to a change in the dominant stress corrosion cracking mechanisms.

6082 Aluminum Alloy

In this work, a two-stage methodology to design super-hydrophobic surfaces was proposed. The first step consists of creating a rough nano/micro-structure and the second step consists of reducing the surface energy using octadecyltrimethoxysilane. The surface roughening was realized by three different short-term pretreatments: (i) Boiling water, (ii) HNO3/HCl etching, or (iii) HF/HCl etching. Then, the surface energy was reduced by dip-coating in diluted solution of octadecyltrimethoxysilane to allow the formation of self-assembled silane monolayers on a 6082-T6 aluminum alloy surface. Super-hydrophobic aluminum surfaces were investigated by SEM-EDS, FTIR, profilometry, and contact and sliding angles measurements. The resulting surface morphologies by the three approaches were structured by a dual hierarchical nano/micro-roughness. The surface wettability varied with the applied roughening pretreatment. In particular, an extremely high water contact angle (around 180°) and low sliding angle (0°) were evidenced for the HF/HCl-etched silanized surface. The results of electrochemical tests demonstrate a remarkable enhancement of the aluminum alloy corrosion resistance through the proposed superhydrophobic surface modifications. Thus, the obtained results evidenced that the anti-wetting behavior of the aluminum surface can be optimized by coupling an appropriate roughening pretreatment with a self-assembled silane monolayer deposition (to reduce surface energy) for anticorrosion application.
