Abstract
Aluminium 6061 is a precipitation-hardened aluminium alloy, containing magnesium and silicon as its major alloying elements. T6 temper 6061 has an ultimate tensile strength of at least 290 MPa (42,000 psi) and yield strength of at least 240 MPa (35,000 psi). More typical values are 310 MPa (45 ksi) and 270 MPa (39 ksi), respectively. Corrosion acts on a continuous basis and it is a tedious issue to normalize it or to eradicate it. Hardened aluminium alloy containing Magnesium and Silicon as its major alloying elements. This research work deals with investigating the corrosion behaviour of this Aluminium 6061-T6 reaction in the acidic alkaline and in the salt medium. By analyzing the comparative results it will clarify that the Aluminium 6061 T6 alloy has higher corrosion rate in alkaline solution than in the acidic solution. The corrosion resistance of aluminium alloy is higher in solutions of acids and salts containing sulfate and nitrate ions than in chloride ions.
