Abstract
Continuous retrogression and re-ageing (CRRA) treatment is designed to achieve an optimal balance between the strength and corrosion performance of an Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy. The findings suggest that intergranular corrosion predominantly affects the T6 sample, with extensive propagation into the bulk resulting in delamination and intergranular cracking. In contrast, crystallographic pitting dominates in the CRRA-treated sample, which effectively mitigates exfoliation corrosion and suppresses intergranular cracking. The different corrosion resistance between the T6 sample and the CRRA-treated sample is attributed to the disparate distribution of Cu in the alloy, which influences the corrosion rate, the types of corrosion and corrosion propagation path.
期刊介绍:
Corrosion occurrence and its practical control encompass a vast array of scientific knowledge. Corrosion Science endeavors to serve as the conduit for the exchange of ideas, developments, and research across all facets of this field, encompassing both metallic and non-metallic corrosion. The scope of this international journal is broad and inclusive. Published papers span from highly theoretical inquiries to essentially practical applications, covering diverse areas such as high-temperature oxidation, passivity, anodic oxidation, biochemical corrosion, stress corrosion cracking, and corrosion control mechanisms and methodologies.
This journal publishes original papers and critical reviews across the spectrum of pure and applied corrosion, material degradation, and surface science and engineering. It serves as a crucial link connecting metallurgists, materials scientists, and researchers investigating corrosion and degradation phenomena. Join us in advancing knowledge and understanding in the vital field of corrosion science.
