Abstract:The aircraft industry has been searching for new materials to be used in their aircrafts, which provide good mechanical and corrosive properties. The 7xxx series aluminium alloys are widely used in structural components. However, these alloys are susceptible to localised corrosion processes when exposed to an aggressive environment, which affect their lifetime and performance. Surface treatment appears as a powerful tool to improve the corrosion resistance of these alloys, since the coating may act as a protec… Show more
