Effect of Ratio of Surface Area on the Corrosion Rate

Abstract

Aluminum and steel are used to be a construction for a building outdoor panel. Aluminum and steel are connected by bolt and nut. An atmosphere due to a corrosion of the aluminum. The corrosion possibly to cause the hole diameter of bolt and nut to become larger. Thus the bolt and nut can not enough strong to hold the panel. The panel may collapse. The aim of the research is first to answer a question where does the corrosion starts. The second is to know the effect of ratio surface area of steel with aluminum on the corrosion rate of aluminum. The research is started to cut a steel and aluminum flat into variation surface areas. Next, the steel and aluminum are bolted as samples for corrosion test. The samples are divided into two groups. The group A was immersed in NaCl (10%) and the groups B was immersed in HCl 10%. The corrosion rate is calculated with loss weight method. The conclusions are as follow. The corrosion does not start from the bolt hole but from the edge of aluminum. Increasing the ratio of surface area (steel/aluminum) increases the corrosion rate of aluminum.

Effect of forging load and heat treatment process on the corrosion behavior of A588-1%NI for weathering steel application in a marine environment

“…Plastic deformation generates residual stress when the load exceeds the elastic limit materials. An increase in the forging load resulted in large surface roughness, compressive residual stress, downward displacement, average height change and outer diameter change [26] [27].…”

A low cost electromagnetic sensor for detecting holes in metallic sheet

“…In this work, we use two different metal specimens; the aluminum sheet and iron sheet. Aluminum is a strong and light weight metal that can be found in everyday life such as food wrapping, furniture, panel [20] etc. More importantly, aluminum is used in most aircraft [21], use for shielding against lightning strike [22], also because its metal feature provides durability against weather (corrosion resistant) [23] and has good thermal conductivity [24].…”

Influencing the corrosion rates of titanium and titanium nitride surfaces by incorporation of iridium or ruthenium during femtosecond laser treatment

“…Increasing the active surface area and introducing crevices and pits by structuring is expected to increase the corrosion rate [10], reducing the longevity of the component. To not counteract the cell e ciency improvements by reducing the components lifetime, measures must be taken to reduce post-treatment corrosion rates.…”
