Electrochemical Characteristics of TiAl Coating on Aluminum Alloy Surface by Supersonic Particles Deposition

Abstract:

In this study, Ti-45Al-7Nb-4V alloy protective coating which base on γ-TiAl phase was deposited on the surface of 5803 aluminum alloy by supersonic particles deposition technology. Researchers observed the micro-structure of the TiAl alloy casting and coating by SEM, and researched the electrochemical characteristics and the galvanic corrosion between TA2 titanium alloy and 5083 aluminum alloy or TiAl alloy casting and coating by electrochemical work station. The results show that,the galvanic corrosion current between 5083 aluminium alloy and TA2 titanium alloy declines from 16.2μA to 0.27μA after TiAl protecting coatings are prepared on the substrates, besides, the corrosion susceptibility drops from E degree to A degree. It also manifests that the 5083 aluminium alloy with Ti-45Al-7Nb-4V coatings can be contacted and utilized with TA2 titanium alloy directly, which tackles the issues of gavanic corrosion prevention between aluminium alloys and titanium alloys.
