Abstract
The effect of Li content (0.5 wt%, 1.0 wt%, 1.5 wt% and 2.0 wt%) on corrosion resistance of Al-Li alloy was studied in 3.5 wt% NaCl. The corrosion resistance is affected by changes in the characteristics of the corrosion product layer caused by variations in Li content. The alloy with 1.5 wt% Li exhibited the best corrosion resistance, which is attributed to Li2CO3 generated on its surface. Li2CO3 layer acted as a barrier to corrosive Cl- and O2. The wide bandgap of Li2CO3 hindered the transfer of electrons, increasing the resistance of cathodic reaction and retarding further corrosion.
期刊介绍:
