Erosion-corrosion behavior of AA5052 aluminum alloy was studied in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution containing silica sand as erodent particle. The tests were carried out according to ASTM G119-09 standard using a slurry jet apparatus at a jet velocity of 3 m/s, sand concentration of 90 g/l, and various impingement angles of 25°-90°. The pure erosion rates were also obtained using cathodic protection of the samples during erosion-corrosion tests. Results showed that maximum pure erosion and erosion-corrosion rates occurred at impingement angle of 30°. On the other hand, a negative synergism rate was obtained under all conditions tested. Energy dispersive spectrometry analysis suggested that the negative synergism could be attributed to the existence of a protective oxide layer formed on the eroded surface of the samples during erosion-corrosion tests. Results also showed that corrosion rates during flow corrosion (i.e., no sand) and erosion-corrosion were much higher than the pure corrosion rate in a stagnant condition. Furthermore, there almost was no change in the corrosion rates at various impingement angles of 25°-90°. Scanning electron micrographs showed erosion features like raised lips and wear tracks at the impingement angle of 30°, and plastic deformation due to particle impact at the impingement angle of 90°.
