LOCALIZED CORROSION OF A 2219 ALUMINIUM ALLOY EXPOSED TO A 3.5% NaCl SOLUTION
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 found to progressively accumulate around the particles and iron was dissolved from the intermetallic, followed by back-deposition. Copper and manganese did not show any major activity. After 32 hours of exposure the larger intermetallics were completely covered.

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...

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 intermet...
