Effects of Dissimilar Metal Coupling, Potential Distribution, and Temper Condition on Galvanic Corrosion of 5086 Aluminum Alloy in Synthetic Seawater
Abstract
The galvanic corrosion behavior of 5086 aluminum alloy in three tempers (H116, H117, H32) when coupled with more noble metals (1040 steel, naval brass, and Ti-150A titanium) and immersed in aerated synthetic seawater, was studied. Galvanic current density measurements, potentiodynamic polarization determinations, and optical and electron microscopic observations were made.
