Abstract
This paper investigated the microstructure, tensile properties, intergranular corrosion resistance and exfoliation corrosion resistance of Al-4.5Zn-1.5Mg (wt.%) alloy after undergoing different numbers of flame rectification at 350°C. The results showed that in the flame correction area, the mechanical properties of Al-4.5Zn-1.5Mg(wt.%) alloy with two times of flame correction is the best. The maximum tensile strength and elongation of Al-4.5Zn-1.5Mg(wt.%) alloy inside the region of flame correction are 387MPa and 26.37% respectively. The flame rectification accelerated the corrosion susceptibility of Al-4.5Zn-1.5Mg (wt.%) alloy. The maximum intergranular corrosion depth is detected with the value of 105μm after one time of FR. The corrosion property of Al-4.5Zn-1.5Mg(wt.%) alloy is mainly related to the formation of galvanic couple. The uneven distribution of the second phase particles of Al-4.5Zn-1.5Mg(wt.%) alloys results in different corrosion potentials at grain boundaries and within grains, leading to galvanic corrosion.
