Electrochemical and Salt Spray Corrosion Behavior of Copper Alloy Contact Wires in Chloride Solution

Article Preview

Abstract:

The effect of different alloying elements on corrosion behavior of copper alloys was investigated using electrochemical corrosion and salt spray corrosion test in NaCl solution. Cu-Ag has the most stable corrosion current in the potentiostatic scanning test, exhibiting a better corrosion resistant performance. It can be analyzed from corrosion surface morphologies that Cu-Ag presents exfoliation corrosion mechanism while Cu-Sn shows crevice corrosion mechanism. Cu-Mg has a complex corrosion process caused by multiple corrosion mechanism. In the salt spray corrosion test, the corrosion degree of Cu-Ag is lighter than those of Cu-Sn and Cu-Mg after 24h test. Therefore, the Cu-Ag alloy exhibits the best corrosion resistance in chloride solution.
