To improve the corrosion resistance of Al alloy, triethylamine (TEN) was added into the sealing solutions. Tafel polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS) techniques were used to investigate the electrochemical behavior of sealing coatings formed in different concentrations of triethylamine(TEN). Compared with the coatings with D. I. water and the bare aluminum alloy, the polarization curves show that the sealing coatings formed in 5.0 – 7 .0 g.L-1 triethylamine (TEN) solutions have more positive corrosion potential (Ecorr) and pitting corrosion potential (Epit), and lower corrosion current density (icorr). Electrochemical parameters of EIS indicate that the sealing coatings have higher corrosion resistance. The electrochemical test results show the prepared sealing coatings have better corrosion resistance.

Monoethanolamine (MEA) was investigated as corrosion inhibitors of a 6063 aluminum alloy in 3.5 % solution using polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy techniques and weight loss. The polarization curves show that monoethanolamine (MEA) can increase corrosion potential (Ecorr) and pitting corrosion potential (Epit), and decrease corrosion current density (icorr) of the 6063 aluminum alloy. EIS results indicate that monoethanolamine (MEA) can increase impedance of the 6063 aluminum alloy. The results show that monoethanolamine exhibits better inhibitor properties for the 6063 aluminum alloy. Electrochemical test results show monoethanolamine (MEA) can improve corrosion resistance and the inhibition action depends on the concentration of the inhibitor. The weight-loss experiment also proves that monoethanolamine (MEA) can improve the corrosion resistance of the 6063 Al alloy.

To improve the corrosion resistance of Al alloy, diethylamine (DEA) was added into the sealing solutions. The electrochemical behavior of sealing coatings formed in different concentrations of diethylamine (DEA) was investigated by means of polarization curves and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Compared with the coatings with D. I. water and the bare aluminum alloy, the polarization curves show that the sealing coatings formed in 3.0 – 5.0 ml.L-1 diethylamine (DEA) solutions have more positive corrosion potential (Ecorr) and pitting corrosion potential (Epit), and lower corrosion current density (icorr). Electrochemical parameters of EIS indicate that the sealing coatings have higher corrosion resistance. The electrochemical tests present that the prepared sealing coatings have better corrosion resistance.

Phytic acid coatings were formed on 6063-Al alloy during immersion in phytic acid solution with various pH and phytic acid concentration for different time. The corrosion resistance of the coated samples was investigated using Tafel polarization technique. The results show that the effect of technological parameters on corrosion resistance of phytic acid coatings is great. With the increase of pH, the corrosion resistance of the coated sample is firstly increased and latterly decreased; it is optimum when pH was 3.0. The corrosion resistance of phytic acid coatings is increased largely with phytic acid concentration and immersion time. The anodic and cathodic corrosion processes of the coated 6063-Al alloy are inhibited markedly, and the corrosion current density is decreased for more than two orders of magnitude.

The microstructure and electrochemical properties of Ce-containing 7072 Al alloy were investigated through transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Tafel polarization analysis. It was found that Ce alloying could result in a formation of finer grains in the simulated brazing alloys. The 7072 Al alloy with 0.15% Ce had desirable distribution of precipitates. The electrochemical testing results indicated that Ce element had a great impact on the corrosion potential of the alloy tested in 0.5% NaCl solution. Alloying with 0.15% Ce element could make the corrosion potential shift to inert direction and reduce the corrosion current density. An excessive Ce addition could weaken its positive effect on the corrosion resistance of the Ce-containing alloy.

Zn-Al-Mg alloys with hypoeutectic microstructure were melted through a high frequency induction furnace. The content of aluminum and magnesium in the alloys were between 1% to 2%. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was utilized to analyze microstructure and phase, respectively. Effect of alloying element contents on corrosion resistance was studied. Results show that the Zn-Al-Mg alloys are almost covered by primarily solidified Zn rich block phase and fine lamellar binary and ternary eutectic microstructure exist between the Zn rich phase. The corrosion resistance was characterized through electrochemical test which indicates that increasing Al and Mg content in the Zn-Al-Mg alloys decline corrosion current density. For alloys with 1% Al, more magnesium means lower corrosion potential. For alloys with 2% Al, however, more magnesium suggests higher corrosion potential. In Nyquist curves of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) test, Warburg impedance portion could be found for all alloys. With increasing alloying elements content in the Zn-Al-Mg alloys, charge transfer resistance in higher frequency remarkably increase, which implies higher corrosion resistance.

To improve the anti-corrosion properties of the aluminum, the electroless plating Ni-W-P on the aluminum is necessary. Investigation was made on the influences of additives (stabilizers and surfactants) on the deposition rate, weight loss corrosion rate, porosity, corrosion current, corrosion potential, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and webster hardness of electroless plating Ni-W-P alloy coating by electrochemical methods, etc. The results show that the deposition rate and anti-corrosion properties of electroless plating Ni-W-P are obviously improved when the stabilizer KIO3 (1mg/L) is added into plating solution. In addition, the Ni-W-P coating become more dense, uniform and defect-free with the addition of stabilizer KIO3 by comparison with no stabilizer. When the surfactant SDBS (50mg/L) added into bath, the corrosion resistance properties of electroless plating Ni-W-P alloy coating are also obtained.

The corrosion behavior of ZnAl27 alloys in 35g/L NaCl solution has been studied by electrochemical and immersion corrosion tests. The effects of Cu and Sb on the Tafel curves, electrochemical parameters of free corrosion potential, linear polarisation resistance (LPR) and free corrosion current, of the ZnAl27 alloy have been investigated. The surface morphologies of the alloy after immersion corrosion tests have been observed through SEM. The results indicate that addition of proper Cu can improve its corrosion resistance of the alloy, or the free corrosion potential the corrosion current shift towards the positive and negative,respectively. However, excessive addition of Cu can deteriorate the corrosion resistance of the alloy. On the other hand, the corrosion resistance of the ZnAl27 alloy decreases with the increasing of Sb content.

AbstractThe electrochemical behavior of gold dissolution in the Cu2+–NH3–S2O32−–EDTA solution has been investigated in detail by deriving and analyzing the Tafel polarization curve, as this method is currently widely implemented for the electrode corrosion analysis. The dissolution rate of gold in Cu2+–NH3–S2O32−–EDTA solution was determined based on the Tafel polarization curves, and the effects of various compound compositions in a Cu2+–NH3–S2O32−–EDTA mixture on the corrosion potential and corrosion current density were analyzed. The results showed that the corrosion potential and polarization resistance decreased, whereas the corrosion current density increased for certain concentrations of S2O32−–NH3–Cu2+ and EDTA, indicating that the dissolution rate of gold had changed. The reason for promoting the dissolution of gold is also discussed.

Microstructural optimization of Al-Li alloys plays a key role in the adjustment of mechanical properties as well as corrosion behavior. In this work, Al-5Cu-1Li-0.6Mg-0.5Ag-0.5Mn alloy was homogenized at different temperatures and holding times, followed by aging treatment. The microstructure and composition of the homogenized alloys and aged alloys were investigated. There were Al7Cu4Li phase, Al3Li phase, and Al2CuLi phases in the homogenized alloys. The Al7Cu4Li phase was dissolved with an increase in homogenization temperature and holding time. Al2Cu phase and Al2CuLi phase coarsened during the homogenization process. The alloy homogenized at 515 °C for 20 h was subjected to a two-stage aging treatment. Peak-age alloy, which had gone through age treatment at 120 °C for 4 h and 180 °C for 6 h, was mainly composed of α-Al, Al20Cu2Mn3, Al2CuLi, Al2Cu, and Al3Li phases. Tafel polarization of the peak-age alloys revealed the corrosion potential and corrosion current density to be −779 mV and 2.979 μA/cm2, respectively. The over-age alloy had a more positive corrosion potential of −658 mV but presented a higher corrosion current of 6.929 μA/cm2.
