Abstract
Additive manufacturing (AM) has revolutionized metal manufacturing. Indeed, AM of lightweight, mechanically resistant aluminum alloys is becoming increasingly popular in manufacturing. However, corrosion is a threat to aluminum alloy parts. AM produces a different microstructure which could be correlated with its corrosion resistance. In this study, the global and localized corrosion behavior of additive-manufactured AlSi7Mg0.6 is investigated. The corrosion behavior was evaluated by immersion tests in sodium chloride solution (3.5 % NaCl) and monitored by global electrochemical techniques, such as electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), potentiodynamic anodic polarization, and local electrochemical techniques such as the scanning vibrating electrode technique (SVET). The microstructure was analyzed and characterized by Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). The results indicate that the additive manufactured AlSi7Mg0.6 alloy exhibits superior corrosion behavior compared to the as-cast AlSi7Mg0.7alloy, and this is attributed to the reinforcement of the passive alumina layer by a residual Mg/Si layer formed at the grain boundaries during corrosive environment exposition.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Alloys and Compounds is intended to serve as an international medium for the publication of work on solid materials comprising compounds as well as alloys. Its great strength lies in the diversity of discipline which it encompasses, drawing together results from materials science, solid-state chemistry and physics.
