Excellent Corrosion Resistance

ABSTRACTNickel-based alloys with over 7 percent silicon have excellent corrosion resistance to sulfuric acid, oleum and sulfate-ion-containing environments. This alloy is characterized by the presence of intermetallic Ni3Si (beta) and Ni5Si2 (gamma) phases in Ni-Si solid solution (alpha) matrix. The corrosion resistance is provided by the coarse intermetallic phases. Size of intermetallic phases is dependent on the processing condition and the heat treatment. The corrosion resistance can be changed by heat treatment.Results of corrosion tests are explained in terms of microstructural features.

For this study, aimed at proposing a potential direction to prevent sulfuric acid dew point corrosion, a Ni–Cr–Mo alloy Hastelloy C22 coating was fabricated by coaxial laser cladding technology. The phase composition, microstructure, and corrosion behavior in a simulated sulfuric acid dew point corrosion environment were investigated and compared with a Hastelloy C22 alloy, a titanium alloy TC4, and 09CrCuSb steel (ND). The results showed that the phase composition of the C22 coating is essentially similar to that of the C22 alloy, consisting of a γ-Ni solid solution and Ni6Mo6C1.06. The finer microstructure of the C22 coating mainly contains eutectic and dentrite, presenting a typical solidification feature of laser cladding. The corrosion resistance of the C22 coating is very close to that of the C22 alloy, and outclasses that of TC4 and ND. The corrosion behavior of the C22 coating is intergranular corrosion resulting from the segregation of molybdenum, chromium containing corrosion products, and smaller anode micro-batteries.

Z11A3M, Z6A3M, Z1.6A1.6M, Z1A1M and Z1M coating samples were prepared in HDPS by traditional continuous hot dipping method. The microstructure, element distribution and phase was analyzed by SEM, EPMA and XRD. The corrosion resistance was checked in SST. The result was, MgZn2 and eutectic could be found in all ZAM coating. The ZAM coatings showed excellent corrosion resistance in SST than GI. The corrosion resistance was 4.1 to 11 times of GI. There was no strong relativity between alloy composition and corrosion resistance due to Mg enrichment on the surface of coating. Edge-unsealed ZAM samples showed good corrosion resistance than edge-sealed sample.

Structure Observation

In order to investigate systematically the effect of Bi addition on the corrosion resistance of zirconium alloys, different zirconium-based alloys, including Zr-4 (Zr-1.5Sn-0.2Fe-0.1Cr), S5 (Zr-0.8Sn-0.35Nb-0.4Fe-0.1Cr), T5 (Zr-0.7Sn-1.0Nb-0.3Fe-0.1Cr) and Zr-1Nb, were adopted to prepare the zirconium alloys containing Bi of 0∼0.5% in mass fraction. These alloys were denoted as Zr-4+xBi, S5+xBi, T5+xBi and Zr-1Nb+xBi, respectively. The corrosion behavior of these specimens was investigated by autoclave testing in lithiated water with 0.01 M LiOH or deionized water at 360°C/18.6 MPa and in superheated steam at 400 °C/10.3 MPa. The micro structure of the alloys was examined by TEM and the second phase particles (SPPs) were analyzed by EDS. Micro structure observation shows that the addition of Bi promotes the precipitation of Sn as second phase particles (SPPs) because Sn is in solid solution in α-Zr matrix in Zr-4, S5 and T5 alloys. The concentration of Bi dissolved in α-Zr matrix increase with the increase of Nb in the alloys, and the excess Bi precipitates as Bi-containing SPPs. The corrosion results show that the effect of Bi addition on the corrosion behavior of different zirconium-based alloys is very complicated, depending on their compositions and corrosion conditions. In the case of higher Bi concentration in α-Zr, the zirconium alloys exhibit better corrosion resistance. However, in the case of precipitation of Bi-containing SPPs, the corrosion resistance gets worse. This indicates that the solid solution of Bi in α-Zr matrix can improve the corrosion resistance, while the precipitation of the Bi-containing SPPs is harmful to the corrosion resistance.

This paper, studied the effect of heat treatment and anodization on corrosion resistance of aluminum alloy 7075 (AA7075), with a view to improving its corrosion resistance. Microstructure and micro hardness of the anodic film of the samples were studied with the aid of optical metallurgical microscope and automated micro hardness testing machine. Linear polarization methods were used to assess the corrosion behaviour of the alloy in 0.5M HCl. The microstructure of the annealed sample showed formation of dendrites while precipitation hardened samples in palm kernel oil and SAE 40 engine oil showed precipitates of MgZn2. The SEMS result showed pores and micro cracks on the surfaces of the anodized samples, with the as cast and anodized sample in sulfuric acid exhibiting most compact with few pores. The as cast and sulfuric acid anodized sample shows highest micro hardness value of 205.33 HV, while the least value of 150.67 HV was recorded in sample precipitation hardened in SAE 40 engine oil and anodized in sulfuric acid. Analysis of the potentiodynamic polarization data and curves showed a linear relationship (decrease in icorr, decreases the corrosion rate) between current density and the corrosion rate in all the samples. Higher polarization resistance of 15.093 Ω/cm2 was recorded by the as cast and Sulfuric acid (SA) anodized sample while the precipitation treated in SAE 40 engine oil plus SA anodized sample recorded lowest polarization resistance of 5.2311 Ω/cm2. Heat treatment alone improves corrosion resistance of AA 7075 in 0.5 M HCl solution but heat treatment plus SA anodization does not improve corrosion resistance in the same environment.

Az91c Magnesium Alloy

The corrosion behavior of as-cast AZ91C magnesium alloy was studied by performing friction stir processing (FSP) and FSP followed by solution annealing and then aging. Phase analysis, microstructural characterization, potentiodynamic polarization test and immersion tests were carried out to relate the corrosion behavior to the samples microstructure. The microstructural observations revealed the breakage and dissolution of coarse dendritic microstructure as well as the coarse secondary [Formula: see text]-Mg[Formula: see text]Al[Formula: see text] phase which resulted in a homogenized and fine grained microstructure (15[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m). T6 heat treatment resulted in an excessive growth and dispersion of the secondary phases in the microstructure of FSP zone. The potentiodynamic polarization and immersion tests proved a significant effect of both FSP and FSP followed by T6 on increasing the corrosion resistance of the cast AZ91C magnesium alloy. Improve in corrosion resistance after FSP was attributed to grain refinement and elimination of segregations and casting defects which makes more adhesive passive layer. Increase in volume fraction of precipitations after T6 heat treatment is determined to be the main factor which stabilizes the passive layer at different polarization values and is considered to be responsible for increasing the corrosion resistance.

The influences of Zn content and heat treatment on microstructure and corrosion behavior of Mg-xZn (x=1, 3, 5 and 7 wt.%) alloys were studied. (α-Mg + MgZn) eutectic cells and Zn-segregated regions were formed in the as-cast alloys. The Zn-rich phases acted as micro-cathodes in galvanic corrosion. Volume fraction of the Zn-rich phases increased with Zn content of the as-cast alloys, leading to a decrease in corrosion resistance. The corrosion rate of the as-cast alloys increased by 4 times with an increase of the volume fraction of eutectic cell from 0.07 vol.% of Mg-1Zn alloy to 2.18 vol.% of Mg-5Zn alloy. The corrosion rate of Mg-7Zn alloy with 2.87 vol% eutectic cells was 2 times higher than that of Mg-5Zn alloy. The Zn-rich phases dissolved by the T4 treatment and only the T4-treated Mg-7Zn alloy obviously showed eutectic cells of 1.73 vol.%. The polarization resistance (Rp) of the T4-treated Mg-1, 3 and 5Zn alloys was 2-10 times higher than that of the as-cast alloys. The T4-treated Mg-7Zn showed similar Rp to the as-cast Mg-5Zn alloy. Consequently, the volume fraction of Zn-rich phases dominated the corrosion resistance of Mg-xZn alloys.

In order to improve the bio-corrosion resistance of magnesium alloy Mg-8.0Al-1.0Zn-xGd in the simulated human fluid, different heat treatment procedures were studied. Results showed that annealing treatment lowered the alloy’s corrosion resistance and hardness, while T6 treatment (solid solution+ aging) improved the alloy’s corrosion resistance and hardness. Microstructure analysis showed that the β phase dissolved into α phase after the annealing treatment. Hence, annealing treatment decreased the alloy’s corrosion resistance. However, lots of β-phases were precipitated in the T6 heat treatment, and they impeded the corrosion extending.
