Abstract
This study aimed to enhance the corrosion resistance of an Al–Mn–Zr alloy containing Fe impurities by employing heat treatment processes. Three processes were implemented to distribute intermetallic particles uniformly, promote Al6(Mn, Fe) and Al3Zr particle formation, and eliminate Fe and Zr segregation. Increasing the amount of Al6(Mn, Fe) reduced the galvanic effect between Al matrix and Al3Fe particles, leading to improved localized corrosion resistance. Al3Zr promoted smaller grain size by preventing recrystallization. Microstructure analysis confirmed the inhibitory effect on grain growth and the promotion of Al6(Mn, Fe) and Al3Zr particle formation. The effect of grain size on galvanic corrosion was evaluated through corrosion simulation. Furthermore, the improved localized corrosion resistance was evaluated through electrochemical and immersion tests. Consequently, the designed heat treatment process significantly improved the localized corrosion resistance of the Al–Mn–Zr alloy with Fe impurities. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of the employed heat treatment processes in improving the corrosion resistance of the alloy.
期刊介绍:
CORROSION is the premier research journal featuring peer-reviewed technical articles from the world’s top researchers and provides a permanent record of progress in the science and technology of corrosion prevention and control. The scope of the journal includes the latest developments in areas of corrosion metallurgy, mechanisms, predictors, cracking (sulfide stress, stress corrosion, hydrogen-induced), passivation, and CO2 corrosion.
70+ years and over 7,100 peer-reviewed articles with advances in corrosion science and engineering have been published in CORROSION. The journal publishes seven article types – original articles, invited critical reviews, technical notes, corrosion communications fast-tracked for rapid publication, special research topic issues, research letters of yearly annual conference student poster sessions, and scientific investigations of field corrosion processes. CORROSION, the Journal of Science and Engineering, serves as an important communication platform for academics, researchers, technical libraries, and universities.
Articles considered for CORROSION should have significant permanent value and should accomplish at least one of the following objectives:
• Contribute awareness of corrosion phenomena,
• Advance understanding of fundamental process, and/or
• Further the knowledge of techniques and practices used to reduce corrosion.
