Abstract
We report a corrosion study on Al 7075—T651 surface. The purpose of the study is to use Graphene oxide—Polymethyl methacrylate (GO—PMMA) coating as corrosion resistant layer on Al 7075—T651, an alloy of aluminium mainly used in aerospace industries. The study is done with and without GO—PMMA coating on Al 7075—T651 respectively, by varying the exposure time of material (24, 48 and 72 h) with HCl in atmospheric condition. The formation of corrosion is resisted by the GO—PMMA coated samples. The effect is studied by material characterization and non-destructive evaluation (NDE) techniques. The formation of aluminium hydroxide in uncoated samples is confirmed by Raman spectroscopy and x-ray diffraction (XRD). Corrosion formation, GO—PMMA coating on plain and coated samples are clearly visible in Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) study. Shift in current is observed in I–V Characteristics study, due to pitting in plain samples. Material loss is observed, to be low in GO—PMMA coated samples, using pulsed thermography. The work proves that the GO—PMMA coating is very effective in corrosion resistance.
