Effect of Grain Size on the Behavior of Exfoliation Corrosion in Cold-Rolled Mg-14Mass%Li-3Mass%Al Alloy
Abstract:
The effect of grain size on the initiation behavior of exfoliation corrosion in cold-rolled Mg-14mass%Li-3mass%Al alloy was examined. Exfoliation corrosion initiated after 30 minutes in the coarse-grained structure (279μm), whereas it was delayed to 60 minutes in the fine-grained structure (75μm) and further to 75 minutes in the ultrafine-grained structure (39μm). This delay is attributed to the suppression of shear band formation and localization during cold rolling with decreasing grain size, which enhances the uniformity of surface reactions in the corrosive environment and promotes faster and denser formation of the protective film at the early stage. Accordingly, the improved condition of the initial corrosion film is considered the primary factor responsible for the delayed onset of exfoliation corrosion.
