Effect of Pass Deformation on the Microstructure and Properties of Aluminum Alloy Anodes for Fuel Cell Application

Article Preview

Abstract:

he effect of pass deformation on the microstructure of Al-Mg-Sn-Bi-Ga-In alloy anode was investigated by using SEM, TEM, and EBSD. The results show that when controlling the rolling deformation at 40%, the segregation phases on the Al alloy matrix was the best distributed for the reason of dynamic recrystallization procedure. The electrochemical and anti-corrosion results show that uniform distribution of segregation phase will improve the related properties of Al alloy anode. After optimizing the rolling procedure, the Al alloy anode has more negative electrode potential of about -1.585V(vs.Hg/HgO) and lower hydrogen evolution rate of 0.092mL/ (min·cm2)
