Deformation scheme and preheat treatment of Al-4.1%Cu-1.4%Mg aluminum alloy are chosen, homogenizing annealing at 430°C for 1.5 h, cooling to 250°C in furnace at a cooling rate of less than 30°C/h and then cooling to room temperature to make Al-4.1%Cu-1.4%Mg aluminum alloy annealed fully. Heat treatment tests of Al-4.1%Cu-1.4%Mg aluminum alloy mainly consisting of rolling and aging were conducted, and the optimum peak of aging mechanism is 190°C/12 h. Through comparison of microstructure and mechanical properties with different deformation rates and aging mechanisms, effect of deformation rates and aging mechanism on properties of Al-4.1%Cu-1.4%Mg aluminum alloy was analyzed, and the optimum double peak of aging mechanism is 135°C/7 h + 185°C/14 h. Orthogonal experiments were carried out to analyze mechanical and electrical properties of tested materials before and after deformation, and the effect of aging mechanism on Al-4.1%Cu-1.4%Mg Al alloy was analyzed, and the optimum regression of aging mechanism is 190°C/12 h + 240°C/40 min + 190°C/12 h. Aging scheme is closely related to corrosion resistance of Al-4.1%Cu-1.4%Mg aluminum alloy, and three different aging schemes can improve the corrosion resistance. The exfoliation corrosion evaluation results show that the aging effect on exfoliation corrosion ability order is RRA > two-step aging > peak aging.

Higher strength and better corrosion resistance are necessary to enable the thickness reduction of the aluminum alloy brazing sheets. In this work, an age-hardenable Al-Mn-Cu-Mg-Si core alloy was developed by the addition of Mg, Si and Cu. The corrosion behavior of 4004/Al-Mn-Cu-Mg-Si/4004 aluminum alloy brazing sheet in sea water acidified accelerated test (SWAAT) was investigated and compared with the traditional 4004/3003/4004 aluminum alloy brazing sheet. The microstructure was characterized by optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electron probe microanalysis (EPMA). After brazing, it was found that the microstructures of two aluminum alloy brazing sheets from outer to the center were precipitate-free zone (PFZ), the band of dense precipitates (BDP) and core material, respectively. In particular, both Cu and Mg concentration gradients were formed in the BDP region of 4004/Al-Mn-Cu-Mg-Si/4004. Moreover, the SWAAT results showed exfoliation corrosion in 4004/Al-Mn-Cu-Mg-Si/4004, while in 4004/3003/4004, severe inter-granular corrosion in core material was observed after corrosion for 584 h. The theoretical electric potential distribution showed that the presence of Cu and Mg concentration gradient promoted the formation of the electric potential trough in the BDP region, which may be the reason for the occurrence of exfoliation corrosion in 4004/Al-Mn-Cu-Mg-Si/4004.

The exfoliation corrosion behavior of 2524 aluminum alloy was studied by Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM), hydrogen evolution and Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) . The results showed that 2524 aluminum alloy was very susceptible to exfoliation corrosion and the exfoliation corrosion appeared after 24 h. EIS could better explain the exfoliation corrosion than hydrogen evolution. Exfoliation corrosion kinetics included accelerated formation of pitting, quick development of pitting, retarded formation of exfoliation and steady development of exfoliation.
