Abstract
Abstract This paper presents a research on the corrosion behavior of Ti-15-3 alloy overlapped with aluminized PVC film in salt spray. It was found that severe corrosion occurred on aluminized PVC film in the coupled regions because of crevice corrosion and/or galvanic corrosion whereas Ti-15-3 alloy in the coupled regions experienced minor corrosion. Scanning electron microscope and Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analyses demonstrated the corrosion products adhered to the surface of Ti-15-3 alloy within the crevice. To evaluate the effect of aluminized PVC film on the crevice corrosion of Ti-15-3 alloy in salt spray condition, it is necessary to compare with the corrosion resistance of Ti-15-3 overlapped with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) in different neutral salt spray. Further, the tests were performed by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and potentiodynamic polarization. Combining the graphical model, an in-depth understanding of the crevice and galvanic corrosion mechanism of Ti-15-3 alloy overlapped with aluminized PVC film has been revealed.
