Impedance spectra were obtained during 240 h of exposure of the sample to the test solution. The surface and cross-section of the samples were studied by scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and EDAX （energy dispersive analysis of X-ray） analysis. The results indicated that as the resistance of the passive layer on intermetallic particles is very small, this parameter on the sample surface layers is controlled by that of pure passive layer. However, the capacitors in the proposed equivalent circuit are replaced with the constant phase elements （CPE）, due to non-uniformity and occurrence of pitting corrosion on the surface. The outward diffusion of Al^＋3 ions through the passive layer and the thickening of this layer cause the impedance decrease in the first 24 h and increase afterwards. The detachment of intermetallic particles from some of pits and the accumulation of the corrosion products inside some others are factors that prevents the continuation of cathodic reactions on the top of the intermetallic particles.展开更多

The present paper has to assessed the role of chloride ion and dissolved oxygen in the electrochemical component of flow induced corrosion for AA5083-H321 aluminum-magnesium alloy which is extensively used in the construction of high-speed boats, submarines, hovercrafts, and desalination systems, in NaCI solutions. Electrochemical tests were carried out at flow velocities of 0, ：2, 5, 7 and 10 m/s, in aerated and deaerated NaCI solutions with different sodium chloride concentrations. The results showed that the high rate of oxygen reduction under hydrodynamic conditions causes an increase in the density of pits on the surface. The increase of chloride ions concentration under flow conditions accelerates the rate of anodic reactions, but have no influence on the cathodic reactions. Thus, in the current work, it was found that under flow conditions, due to the elimination of corrosion products inside the pits, corrosion resistance of the alloy is increased.展开更多

The hybrid nanocomposite coatings have been synthesized from tetraethyIorthosilicate （TEOS） and 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane （GPTMS） precursors. The multilayer coatings were prepared by dip-coating technique. Attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared （ATR-FTIR） spectroscopy was carried out to show the formation of the Si-O-Si structural backbone of the hybrid coatings. Structure and surface morphology of the coatings were studied by optical microscopy （OM）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and atomic force microscopy （AFM）. Characterization of the coatings with respect to pencil scratch hardness, adhesive and abrasion resistance was performed. The corrosion protection performance of these coatings was examined by using cyclic potentiodynamic polarization technique in Persian Gulf water. The results revealed that crack-free films with smooth surface were obtained. With increasing the number of sol-gel coated layers, corrosion resistance increased from 81 to 419 kQ cm2, while the abrasion wear resistance did not change significantly. However, the triple sol-gel coated layer offered excellent protection against corrosion.展开更多

Several experiments were conducted to study the influences of theroute type, namely A and B, and pass number on mechanical properties of the material. The process was conducted up to 6 passeswith decreasing process temperature, specifically from 573 to 473 K. Supplementary experiments involving metallography, hardnessand tensile tests were carried out in order to evaluate the effects of the process variables. The hardness measurements exhibitedreasonably uniform distributions within the product with a maximum increase of 64% via a 6-pass operation. The yield and ultimatestrengths also amended 107% and 46%, respectively. These significant improvements were attributed to the severe shear deformationof grains and decreasing pass temperature, which intensified the grain refinement. TEM images showed an average grain sizereduction from 100 μm for the annealed billet to 200 nm after 6 passes of DECLE. Finally, the experimental findings for routes A andB were compared and discussed and some important conclusions were drawn.展开更多

To reach this goal, first, a sound surface slab of 8.90 mm thick and 1260 mm wide was cast by a 15°; tilt back twin roll caster at a casting speed of 490 mm/min. After homogenization at 520 ℃, the product was cold rolled to two thicknesses of 6.30 mm and 3.85 mm with an intermediate annealing at 370 ℃ and final stabilization at 180 ℃. Opticalmicroscopyand scanning electron microscopy （SEM） investigations of the as-cast state depicted the segregation of intermetallic particles mainly in grain boundaries which wasthe cause of grain removal observed in the fracture surface of tensile test samples. In addition, mechanical properties indicated an increase in total elongation after homogenization heat treatment dueto the elimination of the grain boundary segregations. Finally, it was observed that the properties of the 3.85 mmthick sheet were consistent with the H321 temper requirements according to ASTM B 290M standard due to applying sufficient cold reduction during cold rolling stage.展开更多
