Abstract

Using weight-loss method combined with metallographic to analysis the effect of annealing temperature (600°C, 640°C, 680°C) on the corrosion resistance of cold rolled strip of complex brass HAl72-2.5Al-1.0Ni alloy. Corrosive solutions for testing the corrosion velocity were 3.5% of the neutral sodium chloride solution, artificial acid rain (3.5% NaCl+H2SO4 solution) and artificial sweat solution. The research results show that the corrosion of cold rolled strip occurs easily because grains stretched along the direction of deformation and the existence of residual stress. The maximum corrosion depth of cold-rolled strip is 94.8μm. Annealing treatment can effectively reduce the corrosion depth of alloy. Corrosion resistance of alloy rises with the increase of annealing temperature, because the recrystallization degree of alloy goes on more sufficient. The corrosion depth of samples annealed at 600°C and 680°C drops from 64.45μm to 56.32μm respectively. Aluminum content in the alloy also affects the corrosion resistance of the alloy, because oxygen oxidizes aluminum to density Al2O3 film which prevents the further corrosion of the alloy. The corrosion velocity of samples in the solution of artificial acid rain is fastest and lowest in artificial perspiration solution.
