Abstract
The mechanisms of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (2-MBT) adsorption and corrosion inhibition on the aerospace AA2024 T3 aluminium alloy have been investigated using electrochemistry and advanced surface analyses. Electrochemical methods were used to measure the degree of corrosion protection in neutral chloride media, while advanced surface analysis techniques were employed to determine the interfacial interaction and inhibitor action mechanisms. It is shown that 2-MBT effectively inhibits corrosion of the alloy, reducing its susceptibility to corrosion attack and its corrosion rate. Surface analysis, including the use of ToF-SIMS 3-D chemical mapping, confirms 2-MBT adsorption on partially dealloyed intermetallic particles (IMPs) along with the presence of a thin 2-MBT layer on the top-most alloy surface. Chloride ions breakdown the native oxide film, allowing 2-MBT to adsorb on IMPs, thereby inhibiting further localized corrosion on these particles, while the 2-MBT layer on the surface protects the alloy matrix from surface oxidation.
期刊介绍:
npj Materials Degradation considers basic and applied research that explores all aspects of the degradation of metallic and non-metallic materials. The journal broadly defines ‘materials degradation’ as a reduction in the ability of a material to perform its task in-service as a result of environmental exposure.
The journal covers a broad range of topics including but not limited to:
-Degradation of metals, glasses, minerals, polymers, ceramics, cements and composites in natural and engineered environments, as a result of various stimuli
-Computational and experimental studies of degradation mechanisms and kinetics
-Characterization of degradation by traditional and emerging techniques
-New approaches and technologies for enhancing resistance to degradation
-Inspection and monitoring techniques for materials in-service, such as sensing technologies
