The main focus of this work is to study and evaluate the corrosion behavior of aluminium alloy 7075 under slightly varying temperature conditions. The corrosion behavior was found out using the Salt Mist test. Aluminium alloy 7075 possesses better corrosion resistance, so it is important to foresee the corrosion behavior of this alloy for varied applications. The Corrosion Penetration Rate was evaluated for the small temperature changes and the results show that the penetration rate increases as temperature increases gradually along with the time for which the specimens are tested. The final result is that aluminium alloy 7075 follows logarithmic law of corrosion at low temperatures.

In this work, the corrosion behavior and surface reactivity of as-cast and heat-treated nickel aluminum bronze casting alloy (UNS C95800) in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution is investigated under stagnant and flow conditions. Increasing flow rate conditions are simulated using a rotating disk electrode from 0 to 9000 revolutions per minute (rpm). Optical micrographs confirm the decrease in the phase fraction of corrosion-sensitive β phase in the microstructure of C95800 after annealing, which, in turn, enhances the corrosion resistance of the alloy. Electrochemical studies including open circuit potentiometry, potentiodynamic polarization, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy are performed to assess the effect of flow rate and heat treatment on the corrosion of samples at 25 and 40 °C in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution. For both as-cast and heat-treated samples, increasing the flow rate (i.e., electrode rotating rate) linearly reduces the corrosion resistance, indicating that the metal dissolution rate is significantly affected by hydrodynamic flow. Increasing the solution temperature negatively impacts the corrosion behavior of the as-cast and heat-treated samples at all flow conditions.

ABSTRACT Objective: To assess the influence of fluoride concentration on the corrosion behavior of nickel titanium (NiTi) superelastic wire and to compare the corrosion resistance of NiTi with that of beta titanium alloy in physiological solution with and without addition of fluoride. Materials and Methods: NiTi corrosion resistance was investigated through electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and anodic polarization in sodium chloride (NaCl 0.15 M) with and without addition of 0.02 M sodium fluoride (NaF), and the results were compared with those associated with beta titanium. The influence of fluoride concentration on NiTi corrosion behavior was assessed in NaCl (0.15 M) with and without 0.02, 0.04, 0.05, 0.07, and 0.12 M NaF solution. Galvanic corrosion between NiTi and beta titanium were investigated. All samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy. Results: Polarization resistance decreased when NaF concentration was increased, and, depending on NaF concentration, NiTi can suffer localized or generalized corrosion. In NaCl solution with 0.02 M NaF, NiTi suffer localized corrosion, while beta titanium alloys remained passive. Current values near zero were observed by galvanic coupling of NiTi and beta titanium. Conclusions: There is a decrease in NiTi corrosion resistance in the presence of fluoride. The corrosion behavior of NiTi alloy depends on fluoride concentration. When 0.02 and 0.04 M of NaF were added to the NaCl solution, NiTi presented localized corrosion. When NaF concentration increased to 0.05, 0.07, and 0.12 M, the alloy presented general corrosion. NiTi corrosion resistance behavior is lower than that of beta titanium. Galvanic coupling of these alloys does not increase corrosion rates.

The corrosion behavior of CuCr, CuZr and CuCrZr alloys in NaCl solution is reported in this paper. The corrosion performance has been evaluated in NaCl solution atmosphere. The results show the corrosion resistance of pure copper decrease with the addition of the alloying elements initially. However, in the later exposure stages, the corrosion resistance of CuZr and CuCrZr alloy deteriorates significantly while the corrosion resistance of CuCr alloy is slightly better than that of pure copper. In addition, the results of the electrochemical experiments indicate that the different behavior for the element Cr and Zr in the base material and corrosion scales lead to the change of the corrosion resistance.

The corrosion behavior of the sputter-deposited nanocrystalline W-Cr alloys wasstudied in 0.5 M NaCl and alkaline 1 M NaOH solutions at 25°C, open to air usingimmersion tests and electrochemical measurements. Chromium metal acts synergisticallywith tungsten in enhancing the corrosion resistance of the sputter-deposited W-Cr alloys soas to show higher corrosion resistance than those of alloy-constituting elements in both 0.5M NaCl and 1 M NaOH solutions. In particular, the nanocrystalline W-Cr alloys containing25-91 at% chromium showed about one order of magnitude lower corrosion rates (that is,about 1-2 × 10-3 mm.y-1) than those of tungsten and chromium metals even for prolongedimmersion in 0.5 M NaCl solution at 25°C. On the other hand, the corrosion rate of thesputter-deposited W-Cr alloys containing 25-75 at % chromium was decreased significantlywith increasing chromium content and showed lowest corrosion rates (that is, 1.5-2.0 × 10-3 mm.y-1) after immersed for prolonged immersion in 1 M NaOH solution. The corrosion ratesof these nanocrystalline W-(25-75)Cr alloys are nearly two orders of magnitude lower thanthat of tungsten and more than one order of magnitude lower corrosion rate than that ofsputter-deposited chromium metal in 1 M NaOH solution. The corrosion-resistant of all theexamined sputter-deposited W-Cr alloys in 0.5 M NaCl solution is higher than in alkaline 1M NaOH solution at 25°C. Open circuit potentials of all the examined W-Cr alloys areshifted to more noble direction with increasing the chromium content in the alloys afterimmersion for 72 h in both 0.5 M NaCl and 1 M NaOH solutions at 25°C, open to air.Keywords: Sputter deposition, nanocrystalline W-Cr alloys, corrosion test, electrochemicalmeasurement, NaCl and NaOH solutions.DOI:  10.3126/jncs.v25i0.3300Journal of Nepal Chemical Society Volume 25, 2010 pp 53-61

In the present work, the effect of Sn addition on the corrosion behavior of Mg–5Al–1Zn alloys was investigated. Microstructure, potentiodynamic polarization and immersion tests were carried out in 3.5% NaCl solution of pH 7.2 to estimate the corrosion behavior of AZ51 alloys with and without Sn addition. Mg17Al12 and Mg2Sn phases were mainly precipitated in inter-dendrite structures. With increasing the Sn content, the volume fraction of the Mg2Sn phase was increased and coarsening tendency was observed. The corrosion resistance was increased by Sn addition. Especially, the AZ51-5wt.%Sn alloy characterized the superior corrosion resistance among the four alloys. The Sn is known for a high hydrogen overvoltage and the secondary phases effectively formed the network structure, resulting in a drastically decreasing corrosion rate of AZ51 alloy.

Main Factor

The strength of Mg–Li alloy is greatly improved by the composite strengthening of intermetallic compound YAl2 particles, but the low corrosion resistance of Mg–Li alloy is still the main factor that restricts the application of the alloy and its composites. In this paper, the effect of YAl2 particles on the corrosion behavior of Mg–Li alloy was systematically investigated. The results showed that the corrosion resistance of YAl2p/LA143 composite could be significantly improved, accounting for the formation of a transitional interface layer by adding YAl2 particles. The diffusion of yttrium and aluminum atoms from YAl2 particulates improved the stability of the surface film and enhanced the adhesion between the corrosion products and the substrate, which hindered further expansion of pitting.

Stress Corrosion Resistance

Effect of heat treatments on the stress corrosion behavior of 7050 Al alloys in 3.5% NaCl solution has been investigated using slow strain rate tensile (SSRT) test. During the slow strain rate tensile process, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in real time was carried out to characterize the electrochemical behavior for different tempers 7050 Al alloys. The investigation shows that both the stress corrosion resistance of 7050 Al alloys is controlled by heat treatments due to the different precipitates state. The improvement of stress corrosion resistance is contributed to the tiny precipitates in matrix which are beneficial to corrosion potential and maintain passivation, and precipitates discontinuous distribution at grain boundary which obstruct intergranular crack connection. Moreover, base on the results, we find out retrogression and re-aging (RRA, i.e., T6 + 200 °C/ retrogression + water quench + T6) increases both tensile strength and stress corrosion resistance. The optimized of retrogression time is 30 minutes.

Purpose: The present study compares the corrosion behaviour of overaged AA 7075 before and after equal channel angular pressing ECAP in two media, containing chlorides, in order to answer the question how grain refinement of aluminium alloys influences their corrosion properties.Design/methodology/approach: The effect of equal channel angular pressing ECAP on corrosion behaviour of aluminium alloy AA 7075 was studied in two water solutions, containing chloride ions: 1) 0.01 M Na2SO4 with addition of 0.01%Cl-, and 2) 3g/l H2O2 and 57g/l NaCl. The changes in electrochemical characteristics, provoked by grain size refinement after equal channel angular pressing ECAP, were found using potentiodynamic polarisation. Steady state potential, corrosion potential, corrosion current density; breakdown (pitting) potential of overaged and deformed by equal channel angular pressing ECAP aluminium alloy AA 7075 were measured.Findings: In the environment with lower chloride concentration equal channel angular pressing ECAP process led to increase in pitting corrosion resistance and in the medium with higher chloride concentration - to decrease in pitting corrosion resistance. That way grain refinement does not demonstrate a uni-directional influence on corrosion resistance of AA 70775.Research limitations/implications: The results suggest the possibility for development of materials having the same chemical composition but with different corrosion resistance to different environments.Originality/value: The paper presents the corrosion behaviour of ultrafine-grained aluminium alloy AA 7075 and the influence of the chloride ions concentration in the corrosion medium on this behaviour.
