Effects of Trace Cl-, Cu2+ and Fe3+ Ions on the Corrosion Behaviour of AA6063 in Ethylene Glycol and Water Solutions

doi:10.1007/s40195-021-01237-x

Abstract

Abstract:

The effects of Cl^-, Cu²⁺ and Fe³⁺ ions and their combinations on the corrosion behaviour of aluminium alloy 6063 (AA6063) in ethylene glycol and water solutions at 50 °C were investigated by electrochemical and immersion methods. Cl ^- resulted in pitting corrosion of the alloy. In the Cl^--free solutions, Fe³⁺ was prone to accelerate uniform corrosion, while Cu²⁺ tended to accelerate pitting corrosion. Severe pitting corrosion of AA6063 was observed in the cases of Cl^- combined with Cu²⁺ or Fe³⁺, especially in the case of Cl^- combined with Cu²⁺ and Fe³⁺ ions.

Key words: Aluminium, Polarization, Weight loss, Pitting corrosion
