6、minology and Acronyms Relating to Corrosion3. Significance and Use3.1 The corrosion potential of an aluminum alloy dependsupon the amounts of certain alloying elements that the alloycontains in solid solution. Copper and zinc, which are two ofthe major alloying elements for aluminum, have the greate

7、steffect with copper shifting the potential in the noble or positivedirection, and zinc in the active or negative direction. Forexample, commercially unalloyed aluminum (1100 alloy) has apotential of 750 mV when measured in accordance with thismethod, 2024T3 alloy with nearly all of its nominal 4.3

8、%copper in solid solution, a potential of 600 to 620 mV,depending upon the rate of quenching and 7072 alloy withnearly all of its nominal 1.0 % zinc in solid solution, a potentialof 885 mV (SCE) (1-3).33.2 Because it reflects the amount of certain alloying ele-ments in solid solution, the corrosion

9、potential is a useful toolfor characterizing the metallurgical condition of aluminumalloys, especially those of the 2XXX and 7XXX types, whichcontain copper and zinc as major alloying elements. Its usesinclude the determination of the effectiveness of solution heattreatment and annealing (1), of the

10、 extent of precipitationduring artificial aging (4) and welding (5), and of the extent ofdiffusion of alloying elements from the core into the claddingof Alclad products (2).4. Apparatus4.1 The apparatus consists of an inert container for the testsolution, a mechanical support for the test specimens

See Note 2.NOTE 2Saturated calomel electrodes are available from severalmanufacturers. It is a g

12、ood practice to ensure the proper functioning of thereference electrode by measuring its potential against one or morereference electrodes.The potential difference should not exceed 2 or 3 mV.4.2 High-impedance (1012) voltmeter is suitable for mea-surement of the potential.

Specimen Preparation8.1 Any convenient means, such as sawing or stamping,may be used to prepare a specimen to size provided that it doesnot heat the specimen enough to change its metallurgicalstructure.8.2 Irregular-shaped specimens shall be machined or pre-pared with a coarse

24、 file to provide a reasonably flat surface andto remove nonrepresentative metal (for example, affected bysawing or stamping, or in case of clad product where core is tobe measured). Further preparation consists of filing with a longlathe file. Original flat surface specimens are also filed withlong

25、lathe file to remove the original mill scale oxide layer.8.3 No filing or machining is needed to prepare specimensthat have original flat surface, representative of its metallurgi-cal structure, or to prepare specimens that are too thin to permitmore than minimal removal of metal; these include clad

26、products with thin claddings which are to be measured.8.4 Mechanical PreparationThe surfaces of all productsselected for measurement, including those with no previouspreparation, are abraded dry with No. 320 grade aluminumoxide or silicon carbide cloth and then with No. 00 steel wool.NOTE 3Caution:

27、Clad products with thin claddings should only beabraded lightly except to remove the cladding for measurement of thecore.8.4.1 Following mechanical preparation, the specimen iscleaned or degreased in an inert solvent (for example, acetone,MEK, EtOH).8.5 Chemical PreparationAnyone of the following fi

This can be accomplished byeither mechanical or chemical means. It is important that theentire cladding alloy be re

Thethickness of the Alclad samples should be reduced to at least1.5 times of the total thickness of the clad layer(s) on one orboth sides of the Alclad product.

Precision and Bias512.1 PrecisionThe precision of this test method wasdetermined by analysis of the results of an interlaboratory testprogram with eigh

44、t laboratories participation. PracticeE691was used in the analysis of the data.12.1.1 RepeatabilityThe repeatability, r, (within labora-tory variation) and the repeatability standard deviation (Srweredetermined as in Table 1.12.1.2 ReproducibilityThe reproducibility, R, (betweenlaboratory variation)

45、 and the reproducibility standard deviation(SR) were determined as in Table 2. It should be noted that theapparent cause of the interlaboratory variation was variation ofthe reference electrodes used. The chemical etch treatments of5000 series alloys apparently causes an unstable surface forthis met

46、hod and that is responsible for the larger variation inresults both in repeatability and reproducibility.12.2 BiasThis test method has no bias because thiscorrosion potential is defined only in terms of this test method.13.
