An Investigation Of Inhibition Mechanism Of Cerium For Aluminum Alloy 2024-T3, Min Hua Shao, Yan Fu, Rong Gang Hu, Chang-Jian Lin
Journal of Electrochemistry
Cerium compounds are promising inhibitors for aluminum alloy. However, the inhibition mechanism is not very clear. Scanning microreference electrode(SMRE)technique was used to probe the potential imaging of Al 2024 T3 in NaCl and CeCl 3 solution. The results of SMRE showed that in NaCl solution a severe localized corrosion occurred on the surface of Al 2024 specimen at once and maintained for a long time. The corrosion activity of Al alloy in CeCl 3 decreased with immersion time and disappeared finally. Additionally, the competition of inhibition and aggression between Ce 3+ and Cl - on Al alloy was in situ …
