Effect of nitrate on exfoliation corrosion of 2A12-T4 aluminum alloy under full-immersion corrosion condition
-
摘要:
针对沿海暴露20年的2A12-T4铝合金试验件,采用球差校正透射电镜,在剥蚀区域纵截面腐蚀最深处的腐蚀产物中,首次测到了N元素的存在,说明铝合金沿海大气剥蚀过程中存在${\text{NO}}_x^{{ - }}$。开展2A12-T4铝合金在4种不同${\text{NO}}_3^{{ - }}$浓度腐蚀溶液中的全浸腐蚀试验,发现随着溶液中${\text{NO}}_3^{{ - }}$浓度降低,试验件的剥蚀严重程度明显减弱,且在含有${\text{Cl}}_{}^{{ - }}$和${\text{SO}}_4^{{{2 - }}}$,而不含${\text{NO}}_3^{{ - }}$的溶液中,试验件未能发生剥蚀。结合对产生气体的测试和离子色谱仪分析,表面和截面腐蚀行为扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、能谱仪(EDS)分析等,讨论${\text{NO}}_3^{{ - }}$对铝合金剥蚀的影响机理。建议在开展飞机铝合金结构沿海大气剥蚀模拟试验时,不能忽视腐蚀环境中${\text{NO}}_3^{{ - }}$的作用。
Abstract:The 2A12-T4 aluminum alloy specimen exposed to the coastal atmosphere for 20 years was analyzed with spherical aberration corrected transmission electron microscope. The presence of nitrogen was first determined in the corrosion products at the deepest corrosion part of the longitudinal section of the exfoliation corrosion area. This indicated the presence of ${\text{NO}}_x^{{ - }}$ in the coastal atmospheric exfoliation corrosion process of aluminum alloy. Then the full immersion corrosion tests of 2A12-T4 aluminum alloy in four different nitrate concentration corrosion solutions were carried out. It was found that the exfoliation corrosion severity of the specimens decreased significantly with the decrease of nitrate concentration in the solution; while in the solution containing ${\text{Cl}}_{}^{{ - }}$ and ${\text{SO}}_4^{{{2 - }}}$ rather than ${\text{NO}}_3^{{ - }}$, the exfoliation corrosion of the specimens did not occur. At the same time, combined with the test of the generated gas, ion chromatograph analysis, surface and sectional corrosion behavior SEM and EDS analysis, etc., the influence mechanism of nitrate on the exfoliation corrosion of aluminum alloy was analyzed and discussed. It is suggested that the role of nitrate in the corrosive environment cannot be ignored when carrying out the coastal atmospheric exfoliation corrosion simulation tests of aircraft aluminum alloy structures.
