Abstract
The different effects of TiB2 on intergranular corrosion (IGC) and exfoliation corrosion (EXCO) in TiB2/7075 composites were investigated. Lower particle content accelerated IGC due to the first dissolution of large TiB2/Al interface precipitates, causing TiB2 deposition in corrosion channels. Conversely, higher particle content reduced the maximum IGC depth to 47 % with dense corrosion products inhibiting penetration of corrosive solution. EXCO weight loss increased by 271 % and 388 % with 3.5 wt% and 7 wt% particles, respectively. Micro-galvanic corrosion and recrystallization caused by particles reduced EXCO resistance. The passive IGC environment and active EXCO environment lead to different corrosion resistances of composites.
