Abstract
Al-Cu alloy has been widely applied to automobile products due to its light weight and high strength, but pitting corrosion easily occurs due to intermetallic compounds (IMCs) in Al-Cu alloy. Anodizing process has been conventionally performed to improve the corrosion resistance of Al-Cu alloy surface. However, IMCs in Al-Cu alloy lead to defects in anodic oxide film. In this study, refinement of IMCs in Al-Cu alloy surface by large-area EB irradiation was proposed. Experimental results show that reflectance and corrosion resistance of anodic oxide film formed on Al-Cu alloy surface are improved by refinement of IMCs with the EB irradiation.
