AA5456-H116 undergoes accelerated localized corrosion when in a galvanic couple with cupronickel alloy C70600 during ASTM G85 Appendix 2 Wet Bottom (G85 WB) testing. Surface and subsurface damage of AA5456-H116 was investigated and quantified. These results were compared to Finite Element Modeling results investigating relative humidity (RH) and water layer (WL) thickness. The best fit between experimental results and the modeling results was found when modeling assumed that a 3,000 µm water layer was formed during the spray portion of the G85 cycle with thinner water layers present during the decreasing RH portion of the cycle, which led IGC attack that was focused in the proximity of the CDA/AA5456-H116 interface. The high-water layer thickness is likely the result of the corrosion product formation that traps additional electrolyte than would be present on a clean surface.

A possibility to increase both stiffness and strength of aluminium-based structures for the application in lightweight profiles for vehicle space frames is the use of composite extrusions in which high-strength metallic reinforcements are incorporated. Within the scope of the present investigations, composite-extruded profiles with wire-reinforcements made of austenitic spring steel 1.4310 (X10CrNi18-8), in an aluminium matrix AA6060 (AlMgSi0.5), which were exposed to different corrosive media for different times, were characterised in terms of the debonding shear strength using the push-out-technique. The formation of a galvanic couple could be conceived mathematically in regard of terms describing the formation of a shear-impeding layer and the corrosive attack. Thereby the parameters for the different media could be determined.

The degradation in ambient atmosphere of Al/SiCp composites prepared by the reactive infiltration of SiCp preforms containing fly ash has been investigated. SiCp/fly-ash preforms in the form of plates (3 cm x 4 cm x 0.5 cm) with 50 % porosity are infiltrated by an Al- 8 Si-15 Mg (wt. %) alloy under argon atmosphere at 1050, 1100 and 1150 °C, for 50, 60 and 70 min. Characterization by XRD, SEM and EDX of composite specimens shortly after processing do not reveal the presence of the unwanted Al4C3 phase. However, in addition to Al, Si and SiC, MgAl2O4 and Mg2Si phases are detected. One month after the infiltration trials, white and gray powders are present on the composite specimens, accompanied by pitting corrosion and cracks which propagate with time. Although analysis by XRD of the degradation products reveals only Al4C3 in addition to the above mentioned phases, results from SEM, IR absorption and ICP also suggest the presence of Al(OH)3 and Mg(OH)2, probably from the interaction of Al4C3 and Mg2Si with water. It is considered that Mg2Si in the powders acts as an anode in a galvanic couple with atmospheric moisture as the electrolyte. The crack pathway through SiC, intermetallic AlFeMnSi and Si rich zones implies that one or more of these phases worked as the cathode. In summary, degradation of the composites is explained by the combined effect of galvanic corrosion caused by second phases and the interaction of Al4C3 with atmospheric moisture.
