Journal of Electrochemistry

The interaction effects of typical anions, namely, Cl^-, HCO₃^- and SO₄^2-, presented in seawater environments on corrosion resistance behaviors of AA5083 aluminum alloy have been studied. The corrosion resistances of the 5083 aluminum alloy in different simulated seawater environments were tested by factorial analysis method. The polarization curves, the corrosion potentials, corrosion current densities and the breakdown potentials were examined in different concentrations of Cl^-, HCO₃^- and SO₄^2-.The corrosion behavior was analyzed by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results showed that both Cl^-, and …
