Abstract

This study investigated electrochemical and cavitation-erosion characteristics of three types of cast aluminum alloys in natural seawater. Electrochemical properties were evaluated by calculating corrosion potential and corrosion current density through a potentiodynamic polarization experiment in a static marine environment. Cavitation-erosion characteristics were determined by measuring surface roughness, maximum damage depth, weight loss and surface damage shape with experiment time. Indentation experiments revealed that surface hardness values of domestic products were higher than those of foreign products due to high contents of zinc, magnesium and copper. This is because zinc, magnesium and copper dissolved in the aluminum crystal lattice could transform the lattice structure. Due to increased surface hardness, domestic products showed the best cavitation-erosion resistance. However, their corrosion resistance were found to be relatively poor. This is due to formation of galvanic couples within the alloy when zinc, magnesium and copper are present in relatively high concentrations, which can accelerate corrosion.
