Corrosion Behavior of 5052 এবং 6061 Aluminum Alloys in Deep Sea Environment

Aluminum alloy has low density, high fatigue resistance, high specific strength and specific stiffness. It is one of the non-ferrous metal structural materials widely used in industry. It has good corrosion resistance and is more and more used in marine engineering. Extensive. The accumulation of foreign aluminum alloy real sea exposure corrosion data began with the exposure experiments in the Panama Canal area in the 1940s.

Effect of Alloying Elements on Corrosion Resistance of Aluminum Alloy

Alloying elements in aluminum alloys mainly affect their candle resistance by forming different inclusions and alloys [M, 11, 14-22].

The main formation of 5052 অ্যালুমিনিয়াম খাদ is Al6 (ফে, Mn) intermetallic compound and P phase (Mg2Al3). The potential of Al6 (ফে, Mn) intermetallic compound is about -700mV (psSCE, the same below), which is slightly higher than that of the matrix The potential (-800mV) exists as the cathode phase; while the Lu phase (Mg2Al3) potential is about -920mV, which is slightly lower than the potential of the matrix, acting as the anode 116_181.

Corrosion rate of 5052 এবং 6061 aluminum alloys in deep sea

জন্য 6061 অ্যালুমিনিয়াম খাদ, the main formation is the impurity phase A1Fe-Si and Mg2Si phase. The potential of the A1Fe-Si phase is about -200mV, which is much higher than the potential of the matrix, and exists as a cathode phase; the potential of the Mg2Si phase is about -1200mV, far below the potential of the substrate, acts as the anode 119_221.

Both these second phases and the aluminum alloy matrix constitute a microcouple. দ্য 5052 এবং 6061 aluminum alloys have different microcouple effects due to their different microstructures. The low-potential Mg2Al3 phase in the 5052 aluminum alloy is preferentially corroded as the anode, and the A1- The Fe-Mn phase has a high potential relative to the substrate, which will promote the corrosion of the surrounding substrate. Since the second phase of Mg2Si, which has a low potential in 6061 অ্যালুমিনিয়াম খাদ, has a very low potential relative to the substrate, it acts as an anode and corrodes preferentially; the Al-Fe^Si phase Relative to the substrate potential is very high, as the cathode phase, it will promote the corrosion of the surrounding substrate, and accelerate the corrosion of 6061 অ্যালুমিনিয়াম খাদ.

সঙ্গে তুলনা 5052 এবং 6061 অ্যালুমিনিয়াম খাদ, the two phases in 6061 অ্যালুমিনিয়াম খাদ have a larger potential difference, and the effect of microcouples is greater, which is prone to pitting corrosion. After pitting corrosion occurs, it will grow rapidly and eventually cause corrosion perforation. .The potential difference between the two phases in the 5052 aluminum alloy is smaller than that of the 6061 অ্যালুমিনিয়াম খাদ, and the microcouple effect is small, and its pitting degree is slightly lower than that of the 6061 অ্যালুমিনিয়াম খাদ.

Influence of Deep Sea Environmental Factors on Corrosion of Aluminum Alloys

The ignition of aluminum alloys can be divided into two stages, এটাই, the pitting nucleation stage and the pitting growth stage. There are three main theories about the reasons for the rupture of the passivation film and the metastable pitting nucleation, namely, the ion penetration mechanism, Passivation film rupture mechanism and adsorption mechanism Among them, the chloride ion penetration mechanism is considered: when aggressive anions (such as C1″) are adsorbed on the passivation film, the chloride ion radius is small and easy to pass through the passivation film. Strong induction ions Conductive, so a high current density can be maintained at a certain point on the film, and the cations are promoted to move randomly. When the electric field at the interface of the film solution reaches a certain critical value, pitting corrosion occurs [241. The mechanism of passivation film rupture is Macxloiiald’s point defect model was developed: Aggressive anions (such as Cl_) are adsorbed on the oxide surface and react with cations at the ion/solution interface, resulting in the formation of cation vacancies in the passivation film. These cation vacancies move toward the metal/film interface Transport, when the cation vacancies reaching the metal/film interface cannot be consumed, the excess cation vacancies gather to form “vacancy clusters”, which effectively separate the passivation film from the metal substrate, forming pitting and the adsorption theory is called pitting corrosion. The occurrence is caused by the competitive adsorption of Cl_ and O126]. Once the corrosion pit is formed, the pitting corrosion develops rapidly. This is due to the acidification and autocatalysis process inside the pit: The state (potential is more negative) becomes the anode. The surface of the aluminum alloy outside the hole is still in a passivation state, and the potential is more positive to become the cathode; তাই, an activation-passivation micro-point couple corrosion cell is formed inside and outside the corrosion hole; the metal in the corrosion hole The anode reaction in the pores can be expressed as the accumulation of corrosion products (A1203, SiO2, and a small amount of Mg3(S04)2(0এইচ)2 and NaCl) at the mouth of the corrosion pit, gradually forming a blocked cell, which hinders the formation of the pores. The migration of internal and external ions and the diffusion of dissolved oxygen. An oxygen concentration battery is formed inside and outside the hole; the high acidity and high chloride ion concentration environment in the hole promotes the further corrosion of the metal in the hole, thus forming an autocatalytic process of the blocked battery.
