In recent year’s aluminum and aluminum alloys are widely used in automotive industries. These are light weight (density of about 2.7g/cc),having good malleability and formability, high corrosion resistance and high electrical and thermal conductivity. High machinability and workability of aluminum alloys are prone to porosity due to gases dissolved during melting processes. However, in the engi...

An aluminum metal, both native and with a very thin oxide film, was investigated as an anode for aluminum-ion batteries. Investigations were carried out in an acidic ionic liquid electrolyte, composed of AlCl3 in 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([EMIm]Cl), with β-MnO2/C as a cathode. The battery based on Al metal with a very thin oxide film showed high capacity and stable surface corrosion.

The local electrochemical properties of galvanic corrosion for three coupled metals in a desalination plant were investigated with three wire-beam electrodes as wire sensors: aluminum brass (HAl77-2), titanium (TA2), and 316L stainless steel (316L SS). These electrodes were used with artificial seawater at different temperatures. The potential and current-density distributions of the three-meta...

as an alternative to chromate conversion coatings, rare-earth coatings especially cerium, because of the low toxicity, have attracted considerable attention. using dip immersion method, cerium-based conversion coating was deposited on aluminum 2024. corrosion resistance was studied in 3.5 wt.% nacl solution using potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and surface ...

entropy as a measure of uncertainty was used to represent the results of the wavelet technique in electrochemical noise analysis. the experimental signals were obtained by recording the electrochemical potential and current noise of 7075 aluminum alloy in 3.5% nacl solution. the electrochemical potential and current noise were decomposed into 16 levels using daubechies wavelets. wavelet output ...

This short review describes various types of anti-corrosion additives of water-soluble metal working fluids for aluminum alloy materials. It is concerned with synthetic additives classified according to their functional groups; silicone compounds, carboxylic acids and dibasic acids, esters, Diels-Alder adducts, various polymers, nitrogen compounds, phosphoric esters, phosphonic acids, and other...

Al–TiC nanocomposite materials have been prepared by a new in situ synthesizing technique. A mixture of aluminum, titanium, and graphite has been prepared using ball milling technique and then melted in a high frequency induction heat furnace (HFIHF) at different sintering temperatures, namely 900, 1100, and 1300 °C. The effect of sintering temperature on the corrosion of the Al–TiC composite i...

In the paper, genetic algorithm is introduced in the study of network authority values of BP neural network, and a GA-NN algorithm is established. Based on this genetic algorithm-neural network method, a predictive model for fatigue performances of the pre-corroded aluminum alloys under a varied corrosion environmental spectrum was developed by means of training from the testing dada, and the f...

in this study, mixed metal oxides al2o3/mgo/tio2 coatings with al/mg/ti ratio of 5:1:3 and 2.5:3:4 were coated on aluminum by sol-gel method. the surface morphology, phase analysis, thermal behavior and the corrosion behavior of the al2o3/mgo/tio2 coatings were characterized by (sem), (xrd), (tg-dta) and potentiodynamic polarization test in 3.5 wt.% nacl solution. the results demonstrated that ...
