摘要

Corrosion behavior of warm-rolled and stress relief annealed Al–Mg–Mn alloy in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution was investigated using potentiodynamic polarization techniques, electron probe microanalysis (EPMA), electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), and scanning Kelvin probe force microscopy (SKPFM). For the warm-rolled and stress relief annealed Al–Mg–Mn alloy, the texture can be expressed as {110} <112 > . EBSD analysis demonstrates that pitting sites are unrelated to the texture formed in the alloy. Pitting is resulted from the preferential galvanic dissolution of α-Al matrix around the Al6(Fe, Mn) particles (1– 30 μm) at or near the grain boundaries (GBs). In contrast, the finer Mg2Si particles (< 6 μm) do not act as pitting initiators. SKPFM measurements indicate the Al6(Fe, Mn) phase exhibits a higher work function than the α-Al matrix, which drives galvanic corrosion in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution. Thus, during galvanic corrosion, Al6(Fe, Mn) phase acts as cathode to accelerate the dissolution of the α-Al matrix to initiate pitting as a result.
