Abstract

This paper investigates the effect of adding 0.1 % Y and 0.1 % Zr microalloying on the microstructure and corrosion resistance behavior of Al-5.5Mg-0.3Mn alloys sensitization treatment. The results show that the composite addition of Y and Zr could refine the grain structure and reduce the segregation of the Mg elements during casting. Some micro-scale AlMgYZr phases could also be found in the interior region of grains. After sensitization treatment, nano-sized Al₃(Y_1-x, Zr_x) particles induce a high proportion of low-angle grain boundaries (LAGBs) in the alloy, and the AlMgYZr phase suppresses the precipitation and coarsening of β phase (Al_xMg_y) at the grain boundaries (GBs). The refinement of the β phase reduces the micro-coupling corrosion effect at GBs and improves the intergranular corrosion (IGC) resistance of the alloy. The electrochemical self-corrosion voltage of the alloy is increased, and the self-corrosion current is decreased.

期刊介绍： Micron is an interdisciplinary forum for all work that involves new applications of microscopy or where advanced microscopy plays a central role. The journal will publish on the design, methods, application, practice or theory of microscopy and microanalysis, including reports on optical, electron-beam, X-ray microtomography, and scanning-probe systems. It also aims at the regular publication of review papers, short communications, as well as thematic issues on contemporary developments in microscopy and microanalysis. The journal embraces original research in which microscopy has contributed significantly to knowledge in biology, life science, nanoscience and nanotechnology, materials science and engineering.
