The Corrosion Characteristics of AlSi1MgMn

Article Preview

Abstract:

The paper presents the evaluation of corrosion resistance of aluminium alloy AlSi1MgMn. This alloy is used above all in any atmospheric conditions. The corrosion resistance of the alloy was evaluated by determining the open circuit potential (OCP) in solution SARS (this solution simulates the industrial atmosphere) after the 10 months of exposure time. The surface of aluminum alloys were analyzed by using energy dispersive X-ray analysis after the exposure time. The basic of corrosion characteristics (corrosion potential Ecorr, corrosion rate icorr and polarization resistance Rp) were determined by potenciodynamic measurements according to Tafel’s and Stern’s methods.
