In the present study, the effect of explosive welding stand-off distance on the structure and corrosion behavior of aluminum alloy 5083-copper joint is studied. The microstructure was examined by optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy and corrosion behavior with poteniodynamic polarization tests and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy in a salt environment. Microscopic results s...

Nowadays, aluminum and its alloys have extensive applications in marine and aerospace industrious owing to their excellent properties. Among these alloys, 5xxx series of aluminum alloys have also excellent corrosion resistance, high toughness and strength and also good weldability. Decrease in yield strength and also tensile strength due to the grain growth in the heat affected zone is of the m...

one of the most commonly used techniques to reduce the corrosion rate of rebar in concrete is addition substances named corrosion inhibitors into the concrete. corrosion inhibitor is chemical compounds that were added to concrete to prevent corrosion of steel in concrete. sodium nitrate is a type of anodic inhibitors that this study investigatesthe effect of this inhibitor on the properties of ...
