Corrosion performance of powder‐coated aluminum profiles with increased trace element content

Abstract: In this study, the corrosion susceptibility of powder‐coated Al6060 alloys with increasing Cu and Zn content is evaluated in a benchmark test. Although higher Cu and Zn limits would enable the industry to increase the use of end‐of‐life scrap and thus produce eco‐friendlier aluminum profiles, such alloys are often disregarded due to concerns of corrosion, especially filiform corrosion. Our results suggest that this concern is ungrounded as long as typical quality specifications for the pretreatment and coating… Show more

“…In addition, comparative studies between different surface treatment processes are rarely seen. In this work, the corrosion resistance of powder coatings and anodized films on the surfaces of aluminum alloy building profiles was studied [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28]. Through the coupling analysis of microscopic observation and electrochemical fitting, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electrochemical analysis were used to investigate the corrosion behavior and corrosion resistance of the sand texture film layer, the flat powder film layer, the hard anodized, and the ordinary anodized heat-sealed hole aluminum alloy profiles in weakly corrosive electrolytes.…”

“…In other words, eco-friendly powder coatings do not need a solvent to make a homogeneous mixture as a binder and an additive, which reduces fire risk during storage and handling. These coatings have gained a stable place in the coating industry due to their superior properties over conventional liquid coatings like energy saving, cost-effectiveness, elimination of hazardous waste, fast curing, and eco-friendly process. However, some micropores are formed during the reaction of crosslinkers, and the curing process may lead to physical defects on the surface of the coating. Generally, the propagation of cracks and fractures in the coating facilitates diffusion pathways into the metal substrate for water, ion, and oxygen, resulting in localized corrosion and a reduction in the service life of the coating. Therefore, improving the longevity and anti-corrosion performance of powder coatings is a persuasive issue. …”

“…7 Certain recycling friendly alloys can be manufactured without property loss compared to primary based alloys by adjusted composition windows. [8][9][10][11][12] The role of impurity elements in the adjusted composition windows of the recycling friendly alloys is far from clear. Thus, for alloys based on PCS, concerns about corrosion exist.…”
