Popis: | The paper focuses on the corrosion behavior of aluminum joints made by friction stir welding as a function of loading conditions. A four-points bend-beam test, constant loading test, and slow strain-rate test were carried out on AA 7075-T6 alloy in aerated NaCl 35g/L solution at room temperature monitoring the free corrosion potential. The penetration depth of the intergranular attack was deeper after the four-point bent-beam tests compared to all the other testing techniques. Preferential dissolution along the grain boundaries was found in the heat-affected zone and the attack follows the elongated grains structure along the rolling direction. However, no stress-corrosion cracking phenomena were detected. No relevant stress corrosion cracking (SCC) crack embryos propagation was noticed under uniaxial tensile tests—both constant loading and slow strain-rate tests—manly due to the high dissolution rate occurring at the crack tip which promoted premature shear ruptures. |
