Investigation of Zirconium Effect on the Corrosion Resistance of Aluminum Alloy Using Electrochemical Methods and Numerical Simulation in an Acidified Synthetic Sea Salt Solution

Abstract: Corrosion resistance of Zr that has been added to an Al alloy (U1070) is higher than that of a commercial Al alloy (A1070). A decreasing number and size of Al3Fe intermetallic particles (IMPs) were observed by electron microprobe analysis and transmission electron microscopy. Based on the numerical corrosion simulation, it was confirmed that decreasing the number and size of IMPs was favorable for improving the corrosion resistance of the Al alloy due to the reduction of the galvanic effect. In addition, Al3Zr… Show more

“…The value of the diameter represents the corrosion resistance of the test specimen [31]. Samples ground using larger particle sizes have better corrosion performance [32]. It can be concluded that a smaller abrasive particle size is beneficial to the corrosion resistance of the specimen surface.…”

“…As it is seen from literature, due to aluminum addition, the formation of dense aluminium oxide layer at the corroding surface can effectively enhance the corrosion resistance of the alloy [41]. In addition, the corrosion resistance of Alloy 3 can be attributed to the microstructural variations caused by the presence of Zr in the alloy [42,43].…”

“…Low-density materials, such as aluminum and magnesium alloys, can be explosively welded to steels and applied in the ship building and automotive industries [4,5]. A copper layer [6,7] within a composite multilayer material provides excellent electrical conductivity, and so-called reactive materials such as titanium [8,9], zirconium, and niobium exhibit corrosive resistance in an aggressive environment. This, in turn, predisposes them to wide usage in design applications in process equipment in particular [10].…”
