The inhibition mechanism of sodium oleate (C17H33COONa) for pitting corrosion of aluminum alloy (AA) 2024 in 0.1 mol L NaCl solution was investigated using potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectrometer (SEM-EDS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). C17H33COONa showed good inhibition effect on u...

Water-soluble metal working fluids are used for processing of aluminum alloy materials. This short paper describes properties of new additives for water-soluble cutting fluids for aluminum alloy materials. Some alkyldiphosphonic acids were prepared with known method. Amine salts of these phosphonic acids showed anti-corrosion property for aluminum alloy materials. However, they have no hard wat...

in this article, failure and fracture mechanisms in an aluminum alloy (which has been used in diesel internal combustion engines), with and without ceramic thermal barrier coatings, have been investigated under isothermal and non-isothermal fatigue loadings. in this research, the base material is an aluminum-silicon-magnesium alloy and the thermal barrier coating includes a metallic bond coat l...

Water-soluble metal working fluids are used for processing of aluminum alloy materials. This short article describes properties of new additives in water-soluble metal working fluids for aluminum alloy materials. Many half esters or diesters were prepared from the reactions of higher alcohols with acid anhydrides. Interestingly, diesters of PTMG (tetrahydrofuran oligomer, MW = 650 and 1000) and...

To realize the high-efficiency and high-performance manufacture of complex high-web panels, this paper introduced electric pulse current (EPC) into the stress relaxation aging forming process of 2219 aluminum alloy and systematically studied the effects of EPC, stress, and aging time upon the microstructure and properties of 2219 aluminum alloy. It is discovered that: (a) EPC greatly enhanced t...

The formation of low surface energy hybrid organic-inorganic micro-nanostructured zinc stearate electrodeposit transformed the anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) surface to superhydrophobic, having a water contact angle of 160 ̋. The corrosion current densities of the anodized and aluminum alloy surfaces are found to be 200 and 400 nA/cm2, respectively. In comparison, superhydrophobic anodic aluminum o...

Over the years, aluminum content in a vehicle part is increasing due to the needs to reduce weight as well as increase fuel efficiency. Most of the cast product in a vehicle part is mostly cast from A356 alloy. It is used because A356 alloy posses’excellent characteristics over other type of alloy such as cast ability, high weight-to-strength ratio, good corrosion resistance and good weld-abili...

the synthesis of polyaniline- fe2o3 nanocomposite coating on aluminum alloy 5052 (aa5052) surface has been investigated by using the galvanostatic method. the anticorrosion performance of polyaniline-fe2o3 coating was investigated in 3.5% nacl solution by the open- circuit potential (ocp), tafel polarization technique and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (eis). the corrosion rate of polya...

the direct synthesis of polyaniline-tio2 nanocomposite coatings on aluminum alloy 3004 (aa3004) surface has been investigated by using the galvanostatic method. the synthesized coatings were characterized by ft-ir, sem-edx, sem and afm. optical absorption spectroscopy reveals the formation of the emeraldine oxidation state form of polyaniline-tio2 nanocomposite. the corrosion performances of po...

The specification of an aluminum alloy for a cast component is based upon the mechanical properties it can achieve. For the designer and purchaser, it is vital to understand that the properties obtained from one particular combination of casting alloy, foundry practice and thermal treatment may not be identical to those achieved with the same alloy in a different foundry or with a different the...
