Methods of Accelerated Tests of Advanced Multilayer Metallic Materials with Internal Protector

Abstract

The paper estimates corrosion resistance of new multilayer metal materials with internal protector, in which the principle of tread pitting-protection is implemented. Experimentally, using the electron-microscopic method, the mechanism of corrosion destruction of layers is substantiated. The electrochemical and chemical methods of accelerated tests are proposed, which make it possible to determine the rate of corrosion destruction. The electrochemical method allows revealing the limiting stage of the process, calculating the mass index of corrosion and justifying the choice of the tread for this corrosive environment. The chemical test method makes it possible to quantify the effectiveness of the action of the inner tread and determine the relative index of corrosion resistance of the multilayer material compared with the monometallic material.

Assessment of a Heterogeneous Environment

“…There are known processes associated with the joining of metal surfaces by explosion welding [20]. In this case, the disappearance of two metal-gas-metal boundaries and the formation of a metal-metal boundary.…”
