Copper redeposition and surface enrichment during the dissolution of Al‐Cu alloys in different concentrations of NaCl solution. Part 1 – electrochemical measurements

Abstract: Purpose -The paper aims to study the dissolution of Al, Al-3.84%Cu, Al-5.22%Cu and Al-11%Cu alloys in different concentrations of NaCl (10-5-10-1 M). Design/methodology/approach -The approach is to use open circuit potential (OCP) and potentiostatic polarization measurements. Findings -Results obtained showed that, as the Cu content was increased in the Al-Cu alloys, a steady state potential was rapidly reached. Addition of different concentrations of CuCl 2 to 0.5 M NaCl demonstrated that by increasing the co… Show more

“…2(a) that: none of these curves exhibited any active-passive transition. This is in agreement with previously published data which represent that, Al can form a protective passive film in air before treatment (11,12) . E corr of the cold worked Al (zero) (Fig.…”

“…Another work by the present author reported previously (11,12) that the Cu cluster itself go to the solution as a result of the galvanic attack around the cluster itself. Accordingly it can be confidently mentioned therefore that the dissolution of the different phases recorded was due to the above of the four previous mentioned reasons as, the first one occurs by a simple dealloying of the intermetallic compound as in equation (1).…”

“…These effects are consistent with an initial redeposition of copper (a well known phenomenon in copper corrosion 13,28,29 ) resulting in stratification in the surface layer with copper being observed from the substrate surface, but also in regions up to 350 µm above this (rearranging equation (4) to find t). These layers then recorrode and disappear leaving the intensity of the surface peak weakened by absorption.…”

“…In the secondary-electron image mode, at an accelerated voltage of 30 keV, magnification 10X up to 400.000X and a resolution for W (3.5 nm) were used. Details of surface pre-treatment, solution preparation and other experimental methods were described in the Part I report (El Warraky et al, 2007). Figure 1 shows the variation in potential of both pure Al and Al-3.84%Cu alloy versus time under OCP which was mentioned previously in Part I (El Warraky et al, 2007).…”
