Abstract:
This study deals with the effect of heat treatment and thermo-mechanical
treatment on the corrosion behavior of (Al-2Cu-2Mg) alloy by using simple immersion
in salt solution ((3% NaCl) by weight) and acidic solution((3% HCl) by volume) at
room temperature. The weight change method and microscopic examination are used in
this study. Alloy without treatment, solution heat treated at (500 C), artificial aged at
(170 C) and thermo-mechanical treated (12%,24%) are used to complete this study.
The result of effects of heat treatment on the corrosion behavior of alloy in salt
solution showed different corrosion behavior for the same alloy under the same
conditions but at different heat treatments. Solution heat-treated alloy has the lowest
loss weight levels compared with the other states untreated and artificial aged alloys
which showed convergence in corrosion rate at the final stages of the test .In other
hand the results of effects of thermo-mechanical treatment on the corrosion behavior
in salt solution showed that the lower cold working percent cause vibration in corrosion
rate while high cold working percent cause in reducing weight and lower corrosion rate
.
The result of effects of heat treatment on the corrosion behavior of alloy in
acidic solution showed that the solution-treated alloy have the lowest weight losing
compared with the untreated and artificial aged alloys where the last one show a mid
state between the other states. In the other hand the results of effects of thermomechanical treatment on the corrosion behavior in acidic solution showed that the
corrosion has been dropped with increase the cold work ratio and the results showed
decreasing in weight loss with increasing the percent of cold working.
