    Study on Corrosion Resistance of Nano-TiC Particles Reinforced Aluminum-lithium Matrix Composite

    • 摘要: 采用中间合金法制备了不同含量纳米TiC颗粒增强铝锂基复合材料,通过光学显微镜(OM)、扫描电镜(SEM)、透射电镜(TEM)以及电化学腐蚀、晶间腐蚀等分析测试方法 ,对该复合材料进行了微观形貌和耐腐蚀性能研究。结果表明:纳米TiC颗粒添加能够促进晶粒再结晶,细化晶粒,并促进基体中θ'(Al2Cu)相和T1(Al2CuLi)相的析出。与铝锂基体合金相比,该复合材料的耐腐蚀性能得到了显著提高。随着纳米TiC颗粒含量的增加,该复合材料的自腐蚀电位逐渐升高,电荷转移电阻增大,自腐蚀电流密度减小,晶间腐蚀深度降低,耐腐蚀性能逐渐提高。当纳米TiC颗粒含量增加到1 wt%时,复合材料的耐腐蚀性能达到最佳。

       

      Abstract: The aluminum-lithium matrix composites reinforced with different contents of nano-TiC particles were prepared by using master alloy method. The microstructure and corrosion resistance of the composites were studied by using optical microscopy(OM), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), transmission electron microscopy(TEM), electrochemical corrosion and intergranular corrosion testing. The results show that the addition of nano-TiC particles can not only promote the recrystallization and refinement of grains, but also improve the precipitation of θ’(Al2Cu) phase and T1(Al2CuLi) phase of the composite. Compared with that of the aluminum-lithium matrix alloy, the corrosion resistance of the composite is significantly improved. With the increase of the nano-TiC particle content, the self-corrosion potential and the charge transfer resistance of the composite increase, the self-corrosion current density and the intergranular corrosion depth decrease. As a result, the corrosion resistance of the composite gradually improves with the increase of the nano-TiC particles. When the content of the nano-TiC particles increases to 1wt%, the composite has the best corrosion resistance.
