Popis: The pitting corrosion of an aluminum alloy AA1050 after being processed by continuous closed die forging (CCDF) was evaluated by cyclic potentiodynamic polarization (CPP). Microstructure evolution, mechanical and corrosion behaviors were studied as a function of the total strain imposed. The CCDF process was carried out at 0, 16 and 24 passes with loading times of 10 and 15¿s. The electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) analysis revealed a grain refinement of 0.78¿µm after 24 passes, which promoted an increment in the yield strength (YS), ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and vickers hardness (HV) by a factor of 9, 3 and 2 respectively; but the uniform strain and strain to rupture decreased by 93% and 72% respectively. Resistance to corrosion after 16 and 24 passes was compared with the reference material (0 passes), using CPP in a Na2S04 0.1¿mol/l +100¿mg/l of NaCl electrolyte. Results showed that the specimens with 24 passes decreased its corrosion rate one order of magnitude. In addition, specimens with very fine grain sizes have shown nobler pitting potential and lower pitting volume fraction than coarse grain specimens.
