Abstract
The structure and composition of the surface oxide film on the 5083 aluminium alloy at a brazing temperature of 500°C were investigated by transmission electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The results showed that the original γ-Al2O3 film on the surface of the cold rolled 5083 aluminium alloy was transformed into a complex oxide film consisting of MgO, MgAl2O4, and free Al atoms after heating. The thickness of this oxide film, which could be divided into two distinct layers, was approximately 130 nm. The outer layer was mainly composed of an amorphous MgO phase, while the inner layer was MgO based, with a few free Al atoms and a small number of nanocrystalline MgAl2O4 particles distributed in it.
