The effect of aging on the resistance to pitting corrosion of ultrafine-grained 7475 aluminium (Al) alloy processed by hydrostatic extrusion (HE) is studied. Differences in the microstructure were investigated using secondary electron (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Corrosion tests were performed in 0.1 M NaCl, and characterization of corroded surface was performed. The results of this work show that the pitting susceptibility of ultra-fine grained 7475Al is related to the distribution of MgZn2 precipitates. After HE, the formation of An ultrafine-grained microstructure at the grain boundaries of ultrafine grains is observed, while subsequent aging results in the formation of MgZn2 precipitates in the grain interior. Grain refinement increases susceptibility to localized attack, while the subsequent aging improves the overall corrosion resistance and limits the propagation of corrosion attack.

AbstractThe aim of the present study was to determine the evolution of resistance to pitting corrosion and changes in the mechanical properties of ultrafine-grained aluminium during annealing. In contrast to the numerous papers devoted to the topic of the corrosion resistance of severely deformed aluminium alloys, a unique approach has been taken in this study. The size and distribution of the primary intermetallic particles, which are crucial in terms of corrosion resistance, remain constant during annealing. Therefore, the influence of other microstructural features could be investigated and compare with the results of mechanical properties. It was shown that the ultrafine-grained structure of commercially pure aluminium was stable up to 200 °C. Higher annealing temperatures caused significant grain growth and a reduction in dislocation density, which resulted in a drop in mechanical strength. Also, the corrosion resistance slightly decreased, since with an increase in annealing temperature a decrease in the corrosion potential, pit size, and the area damaged by corrosion attack were noted. The best combination of mechanical strength and resistance to pitting corrosion has been achieved for as-deformed state.

The effect of equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) on the pitting corrosion resistance of Al and Al-Mg alloy was investigated by means of polarization curves in solutions containing 300 ppm of Cl- and by surface analysis. The potentials for pitting corrosion of Al and Al-Mg alloy were evidently shifted to the noble direction by using the ECAP process, indicating that this process improves resistance to pitting corrosion. This increase in resistance seems to be attributable to the increase in formation rate of Al oxide films due to the increase in grain boundary with ECAP. The pitting corrosion resistance of Al and Al-Mg alloy anodized galvanostatically in H2SO4 solution after ECAP was also investigated using electrochemical techniques. The pitting corrosion resistance of Al and Al-Mg alloy was remarkably improved by anodizing. However, the pitting corrosion resistance of anodized Al-Mg alloy was better without ECAP than with ECAP.

In the present study, nanocrystalline aluminum alloy (Al3003-H14) particulate produced by modulation-assisted machining (MAM) is consolidated by indirect extrusion. The extrusion die was simultaneously heated below the critical time-temperature conditions for recrystallization. Experimental consolidation of platelet shaped particles showed a distinct elongation of grain size in the primary extrusion direction. Metallographic and transmission electron microscopy observations revealed ultrafine grained microstructure with grains having similar orientations across grain boundaries. The shear from indirect extrusion combined with the uniform distribution of alloy particulates by MAM provides a potential route for bulk consolidation of metals and alloys with ultra-fine grained microstructure.

Abstract Nirosta 4429 is a low-carbon, high-nitrogen version of type 316 stainless steel. The low carbon imparts intergranular corrosion resistance while the nitrogen imparts both higher strength and some increased pitting corrosion resistance. It is recommended for use as welded parts that need not or cannot be annealed after welding. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, elasticity, and tensile properties. It also includes information on high temperature performance and corrosion resistance as well as forming, heat treating, and joining. Filing Code: SS-787. Producer or source: ThyssenKrupp Nirosta.
