Aluminum alloy components of high-speed trains have a great risk of being corroded by various corrosive medium due to extremely complex atmospheric environments. This will bring out huge losses and reduce the safety and stability of trains. In order to solve the problem, cold spray process was used for repairing the damage of the aluminum alloy components with Al-based powders. Microstructure, mechanical properties and corrosion behavior were studied. The results indicated that there were very few pores and cracks in the repaired areas after repairing. The average microhardness of the repaired areas was 54.5 HV ± 3.4 HV, and the tensile strength of the repaired samples was 160.4 MPa. After neutral salt spray tests for 1000 h, the rate of mass loss of the samples repaired by cold spray was lower than that of 6A01 aluminum alloy. The electrochemical test results showed that the repaired areas had a higher open circuit potential than 6A01 aluminum alloy. As a result, the repaired areas such as the anode protected its nearby substrate. The samples repaired by cold spray exhibited better corrosion than 6A01 aluminum alloy. Cold spray process and Al-based powders are applicable for repairing the aluminum alloy components of high-speed trains.

The corrosion behavior of duplex Ni-P coatings deposited on AZ91 magnesium alloy was studied. The electroless deposition process of duplex Ni-P coating consisted in the preparation of low-phosphorus Ni-P coating (5.7 wt.% of P), which served as a bond coating and high-phosphorus Ni-P coating (11.5 wt.% of P) deposited on it. The duplex Ni-P coatings with the thickness of 25, 50, 75 and 100 µm were deposited on AZ91 magnesium alloy. The electrochemical corrosion behavior of coated AZ91 magnesium alloy was investigated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and potentiodynamic polarization method in 0.1 M NaCl. Obtained results showed a significant improvement in the corrosion resistance of coated specimens when compared to uncoated AZ91 magnesium alloy. From the results of the immersion tests in 3.5 wt.% NaCl, 10% solution of HCl and NaOH and 5% neutral salt spray, a noticeable increase in the corrosion resistance with the increasing thickness of the Ni-P coating was observed.

In this paper, an organic/inorganic molybdenum series Cr-free coating was formed on galvanized steel by simple immersion and its corrosion behavior was compared to that of a typical chromate coating. Molybdate and 1-Hydroxy-ethylidene-1, 1-diphosphonic acid (HEDP) were used as corrosion inhibitor, as well as acrylic resin and silane were used as film-former and coupling agents, respectively. The corrosion behavior of the coatings was evaluated by Neutral salt spray (NSS), Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and Tafel polarization. The surface topography of the samples was observed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The results indicated that the corroded area of the Mo-HEDP treatment was only corroded 2% after 72 h spraying, while the corrosion behaviour of Mo-HEDP was closed to that of Cr pretreatment due to the synergistic reaction of molybdate and HEDP. Compared with the film of Cr treatment, Mo-HEDP passivating coating was more environmentally friendly.

The aim of the study was to assess the selected properties of a hybrid organic–inorganic silane sol–gel coating (HSG) used in hybrid fiber metal laminates (FML) in a corrosion environment. The HSG coating on the aluminum alloy was produced using 3M™ AC130-2 formulation consisting of 3-glycidoxypropyl-trimethoxysilane (GPTMS) and tetra-n-propoxyzirconium (zirconium(IV) propoxide) (TPOZ). Laminates consisted of aluminum alloy AA2024-T3 sheets, with carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRPs) and a glass fiber reinforced metal–composite structure (GFRP). Potentiodynamic and polarization curve and impedance (EIS) tests were carried out on HSG at ambient temperatures after 1 h and 150 h of soaking. Neutral 0.5 M NaCl and 0.8 M NaCl solutions were used for open circuit potential (OCP) and potentiodynamic tests, and 0.5 NaCl was used for the EIS test. A neutral salt spray (NSS) test was applied to laminates with a 12 week exposure period. The results obtained revealed that the HSG coating did not provide sufficient protection against corrosion of the aluminum alloy in direct contact with an aggressive environment but was effective as an interlayer. Local aluminum sheet perforation did not lead to delamination at the metal–composite interface regardless of the type or configuration of the composite. This confirms the durability of HSG used in FMLs.

The influence of ultraviolet rays on the corrosion behavior of 7075 aluminum alloy in the marine atmosphere was studied by salt spray corrosion test. Electrochemical methods and surface analysis techniques were used to analyze and compare the corrosion laws of 7075 aluminum alloy in the marine atmosphere under ultraviolet radiation with wavelengths of 0 nm, 185 nm, 254 nm, and 365 nm. The results showed that ultraviolet light irradiation could promote the corrosion of 7075 aluminum alloy. Oxygen was prone to chemical reactions to form oxygen atoms after being irradiated by ultraviolet rays, and oxygen atoms recombined with oxygen to form ozone in the marine atmosphere. The 7075 aluminum alloy in the marine atmosphere accelerated corrosion due to the increasing ozone content. Although there were passivation films with different degrees of protection on the surface of aluminum alloy under ultraviolet irradiation, the surface of 7075 aluminum alloy in the marine atmosphere failed to form a stable passivation film after pitting, and the corrosion rate was the fastest when the ultraviolet wavelength was 185 nm.

Abstract The influence of metal inert-gas arc welding (MIG) on the corrosion behavior of 6061-T6 aluminum alloy in a simulated tropical marine atmospheric environment (related to high temperature, high humidity and high salt spray) were examined by dry-wet alternate immersion corrosion tests. The equivalent conversion was used to design the accelerated test time. The results show that in the initial stage, the intermetallic compound, rich in Fe, Si and Cu, had little influence on corrosion resistance in the heat-affected zone. For a corrosion time of 3 days in a tropical marine atmospheric environment, the corrosion rate of the welded joint increased rapidly, even reaching 3.5 times that of the base metal. Though the corrosion products had significant impact on slowing down the corrosion rate, as with the base metal, the corrosion rate of the welded joint was nearly double that of the base metal during the longest cycle period involving alternate immersion corrosion tests for 20 days.

In this paper, W80CuNi0.3 alloy was prepared by cold isostatic pressing (CIP) and infiltration sintering, and its corrosion behavior was investigated by neutral salt spray accelerated test, immersion test and electrochemical measurement. It turned out that in the neutral salt spray and immersion test,the mass loss and corrosion rate of W80CuNi0.3 were far lower than those of 45 steel. The corrosion mainly occurs in the bonding phase of Cu, and the initial corrosion form of W80CuNi0.3 was pitting, the main reason of W80CuNi0.3 corrosion was Cl- erosion. The polarization curves analysis showed that compared with 45 steel, W80CuNi0.3 alloy had higher corrosion potential and lower corrosion current. Therefore, W80CuNi0.3 alloy are prone to stable passivation, so it has superior corrosion resistance.
