Abstract
This study examined the corrosion resistance of the metallic paint-coated, uncoated, and damaged paint-coated form of the high-strength 6061 T6 Al alloy inside seawater. Solvent-based paint containing two different metallic pigments produced with an alkyd binder was produced and the coating of Al 6061 T6 alloy was made with this paint. To determine the course of corrosion electrochemical impedance spectroscopy method was used. Ecor and Rp values were calculated from potential and current change values. As a result, it was determined from the Ecor, Rp, SEM -EDX images, and Nyquist curves that the corrosion resistance of impact coatings was lower. The corrosion resistance of gold color paint substantially containing copper pigment was lower than that of silver color paint containing Al pigment was observed.
期刊介绍:
The scope of the “Gazi University Journal of Science” comprises such as original research on all aspects of basic science, engineering and technology. Original research results, scientific reviews and short communication notes in various fields of science and technology are considered for publication. The publication language of the journal is English. Manuscripts previously published in another journal are not accepted. Manuscripts with a suitable balance of practice and theory are preferred. A review article is expected to give in-depth information and satisfying evaluation of a specific scientific or technologic subject, supported with an extensive list of sources. Short communication notes prepared by researchers who would like to share the first outcomes of their on-going, original research work are welcome.
