Effects of Ultrasonic Surface Rolling on the Localized Corrosion Behavior of 7B50-T7751 Aluminum Alloy

Abstract

The effects of an ultrasonic surface rolling process (USRP) on the localized corrosion behavior of 7B50-T7751 aluminum alloy in a sodium chloride + hydrogen peroxide solution were investigated through microstructural observation, immersion testing, and electrochemical measurements. The results revealed that this alloy is prone to pitting. However, the localized corrosion resistance can be significantly improved via both one-pass USRP and 12-pass USRP treatment. Furthermore, in the test solution, the thickness and the acceptor density of the passivation film were affected by the USRP treatment. The improved corrosion resistance of one-pass USRP-treated samples resulted mainly from the introduced compressive residual stress. However, this stress played a secondary role in the considerable enhancement observed for the corrosion resistance of the 12-pass USRP-treated samples. This enhancement is attributed primarily to the nanocrystalline surface and homogeneous surface microstructure induced by the multiple-pass USRP treatment.

Preparation of corrosion-resistant hydrophobic composite films on magnesium alloy

“…This can also be seen from the Bode plots (Figure 8(b)). In Bode plots, the higher the value of |Z|, the better the corrosion resistance of the sample [28]. As shown in Figure 8(b), the |Z| value of M-Z/CH@SA sample is 3.5 orders of magnitude higher than that of bare magnesium alloy substrate, and about 1 order of magnitude higher than that of M-Z/CH sample.…”

Cerium dioxide modified with fumaric acid as corrosion inhibitor for epoxy coatings on Q235

“…After 120 days, the value of 5CeO 2 -f/EP reached a maximum of 3.82 Â 10 8 X cm 2 . The corrosion products accumulate at a faster rate than they dissolve, the inhibitive film was formed on the anodic and cathodic sites at the metal/coating interface and served as a barrier against the corroding agents (Figure S3), which caused the impedance to increase (Mohammadi et al, 2019;Xu et al, 2020aXu et al, , 2020b. Due to pitting corrosion and poor compatibility (Figure S4), 9CeO 2 -f/EP's capacitance loop's diameter decreased, which may be attributed to the passive film's weaker protective ability to protect the sample (Shi et al, 2011).…”

Evaluation of Surface Roughness of Aluminum Alloy in Burnishing Process Based on Chaos Theory

“…Most failures of aluminum alloys occur on the surface in service [3,4]. Enhancing the comprehensive protection ability of aluminum alloy surfaces through surface nanocrystallization can significantly improve the service performance and life of the material [5][6][7].…”
