    Corrosion behavior of the 6061 Al–Mg–Si alloy in different soils extracts
    2022 - MILAGRE, MARIANA X.; ARAUJO, JOAO V. de S.; MACHADO, CARULINE de S.C.; PEREIRA, MARCO S.; ANTUNES, RENATO A.; GENEZINI, FREDERICO; COSTA, ISOLDA
    In this work, the corrosion behavior of the 6061 Al-alloy in different temper conditions was studied in different soil extracts using electrochemical and surface monitoring techniques. The results showed that the corrosion behavior of the 6061 alloy depends on the soil extract composition, with the highest electrochemical activities related to the soil extracts with the lowest nitrate and sulfate concentrations. The 6061-T6 condition was more susceptible to corrosion than the 6061-HCR one. The results were related to the higher amounts of MgSi particles in the 6061-T6 alloy compared to the 6061-HCR. Sulfate and nitrate ions acted as corrosion inhibitor reducing the corrosion kinetics of the 6061 alloy in solutions with high concentration of chloride ions.

    Galvanic coupling effects on the corrosion behavior of the 6061 aluminum alloy used in research nuclear reactors
    2020 - MILAGRE, MARIANA X.; DONATUS, UYIME; SILVA, REJANE M.P.; BETANCOR-ABREU, ABENCHARA M.; RAMIREZ, OSCAR M.P.; MACHADO, CARULINE S.C.; ARAUJO, JOAO V.S.; SOUTO, RICARDO M.; COSTA, ISOLDA
    The 6061 alloy is used in different thermomechanical conditions in research nuclear reactors. Nuclear fuel plates are manufactured by the picture frame technique (PFT) and the 6061 alloy is used as cladding for the nuclear fuel “sandwiches”. After the PFT process, these nuclear plates are placed in a case made of 6061-T6 alloy. In this work, the galvanic effects of coupling the 6061 alloy in the T6 and PFT temper conditions were investigated in different chloride-containing solutions. The results showed that galvanic coupling was favored between the PFT and 6061-T6 alloy. A potential difference of about 50 mV was observed between the temper conditions. This was attributed to differences in β’’ phase density between the two conditions (T6 and PFT) which was indicated by microhardness results. The 6061 alloy in the PFT condition was cathodic in relation to the T6 one. Results from conventional electrochemical techniques were in agreement with the local measurements. Local electrochemical techniques such as the SVET, SECM and LEIS were useful in characterizing the electrochemical behavior of the galvanically coupled alloys.

    Effects of Picture Frame Technique (PFT) on the corrosion behavior of 6061 aluminum alloy
    2020 - MILAGRE, MARIANA X.; DONATUS, UYIME; MOGILI, NAGA V.; MACHADO, CARULINE S.C.; ARAUJO, JOAO V.S.; KLUMPP, RAFAEL E.; FERNANDES, STELA M.C.; SOUZA, JOSE A.B. de; COSTA, ISOLDA
    The 6061 Al–Mg–Si alloy is used in nuclear fuel plates of nuclear research reactors which are fed with fuel in plate shapes. The production of these plates is based on the picture frame technique (PFT). The picture frame technique (PFT) is a manufacturing process for the fabrication of nuclear fuel plates where the nuclear fuel is encapsulated by Al alloy plates and thermomechanically processed to generate a set with reduced thickness. The effects of PFT on the corrosion resistance of the 6061 aluminum alloy were evaluated in this study by immersion and electrochemical tests in 0.005 mol L−1 NaCl solution. The results showed that the PFT fabrication process increases the corrosion resistance of the 6061 alloy in relation to the conventional 6061-T6, due phase dissolution and lower content of β’’ phase. Also, corrosion propagation gradually changes, with an increasing number of processing steps, from intergranular to intragranular corrosion attack.
