Abstract
Recycling Al alloys promotes greater sustainability, as the energy required to produce recycled alloys is only about 5 % of that needed to produce the same amount of primary alloys. However, the build-up of impurities, such as Zn, during the recycling process can negatively affect the corrosion resistance of recycled alloys. The results show that the susceptibility to intergranular corrosion increased with minor additions of zinc (≤ 0.06 wt%). Zn was found to segregate along the grain boundaries, and the STEM-EDS results indicate that the Zn incorporates into the structure of Mg-Si containing grain boundary precipitates.
期刊介绍:
Corrosion occurrence and its practical control encompass a vast array of scientific knowledge. Corrosion Science endeavors to serve as the conduit for the exchange of ideas, developments, and research across all facets of this field, encompassing both metallic and non-metallic corrosion. The scope of this international journal is broad and inclusive. Published papers span from highly theoretical inquiries to essentially practical applications, covering diverse areas such as high-temperature oxidation, passivity, anodic oxidation, biochemical corrosion, stress corrosion cracking, and corrosion control mechanisms and methodologies.
This journal publishes original papers and critical reviews across the spectrum of pure and applied corrosion, material degradation, and surface science and engineering. It serves as a crucial link connecting metallurgists, materials scientists, and researchers investigating corrosion and degradation phenomena. Join us in advancing knowledge and understanding in the vital field of corrosion science.
