CORROSION BEHAVIOUR OF A 2219 ALUMINIUM ALLOY TREATED WITH A CHROMATE CONVERSION COATING EXPOSED TO A 3.5 % NaCl SOLUTION
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study investigates the formation of a chromate conversion coating at Al-Cu-Fe-Mn intermetallic sites of an Al2219 alloy and the corrosion initiation at these sites in a 3.5 % NaCl solution, using SEM, AES and EDX. Changes in the surface chemistry were monitored after progressive exposures to the solution up to 42 hours. The coating was found to be thinner and more defective on the intermetallic. Initially, Al is dissolved and Al(OH)3 deposited on and around the intermetallic. After 42 hours of exposure, Al(OH)3, Fe and Mn oxides and small particles of elemental Cu are deposited as corrosion products.

Localized Corrosion on 2219 Aluminium Alloy Coated with a Titanium Based Conversion Coating
High strength aluminium alloys are widely employed in aerospace applications. However specific environmental conditions may trigger corrosion and therefore these alloys require additional protection. Most current conversion coatings used for this purpose are Cr(VI) based, and thus environmentally undesirable. A possible replacement is a Ti based coating, Nabutan STI/310. The aim of this work is...
متن کاملLOCALIZED CORROSION OF A 2219 ALUMINIUM ALLOY EXPOSED TO A 3.5% NaCl SOLUTION
This work is focused on the role of intermetallics in pitting corrosion of Al2219 alloy. Second phase particles were characterized by AES, SAM and EDX. Their behaviour in a solution of NaCl was investigated as a function of exposure time. The results confirmed the cathodic nature of the intermetallics with respect to the aluminium matrix. Corrosion products rich in aluminium and oxygen were fou...

A thermodynamic study of the adsorption of an epoxy acrylate resin used for UV-cured coatings on two different anti corrosion pretreatments on aluminium alloys relevant to aerospace industry has been undertaken. Aluminium alloy Al2219 specimens, treated with an inorganic chromate based conversion coating (Alodine 1200S) and an organic titanium based conversion coating (Nabutan STI/310), were im...
متن کاملInhibition effect of cerium in hybrid sol–gel films on aluminium alloy AA2024†
Aluminium alloys such as AA2024 are susceptible to severe corrosion attack in aggressive solutions (e.g. chlorides). Conversion coatings, like chromate, or rare earth conversion coatings are usually applied in order to improve corrosion behaviour of aluminium alloys. Methacrylate-based hybrid films deposited with sol–gel technique might be an alternative to conversion coatings. Barrier properti...
