Study on Corrosion Process of Al-Mg Coatings Based on Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy

Article Preview

Abstract:

Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is a technology of nondestructive electrochemical testing. In this paper, EIS is applied to study the corrosion processes of Al-Mg coatings. In the initial 24 h of immersion in 3.5% NaCl solution, passive films of Al-Mg coatings dissolve quickly. As time passed, corrosion products increase on surface gradually, which can inhibit corrosion. After 480h of immersion, corrosion products fully cover on Al-Mg coatings’ surface. The EIS of different corrosion processes are fitted by three equivalent circuits corresponding to the three corrosion processes. In the test of open circuit potentials (OCP), OCP is instable in the initial 24 h of immersion. As immersion time goes by, OCP tends to stabilization at about -0.90 V. Measurements of scanning electron microscope (SEM) confirm the conclusions of electrochemical measurements.
