2021 - MACHADO, CARULINE de S.C.; SILVA, REJANE M.P. da; ARAUJO, JOAO V. de S.; MILAGRE, MARIANA X.; DONATUS, UYIME; VIVEIROS, BARBARA V.G. de; KLUMPP, RAFAEL E.; COSTA, ISOLDA
The development of severe localised corrosion (SLC) on the 2198-T8 alloy was investigated in solutions of various NaCl concentrations (0.001, 0.005 and 0.01 mol L−1). Immersion tests, optical profilometry, conventional and local electrochemical analyses were performed to evaluate the corrosion behaviour of the alloy. Immersion tests showed that the alloy is susceptible to SLC in all conditions, although the pits sizes were dependent on the solution concentration. The largest anodic areas, corresponding to SLC sites, were observed for the sample immersed in 0.001 mol L−1 NaCl, whereas pits with similar sizes were observed for the samples immersed in solutions with 0.005 and 0.01 mol L−1 of NaCl. Moreover, the maximum depth of attack was observed for the sample immersed in 0.001 mol L−1 NaCl. These results were in agreement with the scanning ionselective electrode technique (SIET) maps which showed stronger acidification on the sample exposed to 0.001 mol L−1 NaCl solution.

2021 - MACHADO, CARULINE de S.C.; DONATUS, UYIME; MILAGRE, MARIANA X.; ARAUJO, JOAO V. de S.; VIVEIROS, BARBARA V.G. de; KLUMPP, RAFAEL E.; PEREIRA, VICTOR F.; COSTA, ISOLDA
In this study, the microstructure and corrosion resistance of the stir zone (SZ) of the AA2198-T8 Al-Cu-Li alloy welded by friction stir welding (FSW) were investigated by microscopy, immersion tests and electrochemical techniques such as measurements of open circuit potential variation with time, and scanning vibrating electrode technique (SVET) measurements. A low chloride-containing solution (0.005 mol L−1 NaCl) was employed in the corrosion studies and severe localized corrosion (SLC) was observed in the SZ related to intergranular attack. The results were compared to those of the non-affected areas by FSW, also known as base metal (BM). In the BM, SLC was found and the type of attack related to it was intragranular. In both zones, BM and SZ, SLC was due to precipitates of high electrochemical activity, specifically T1 (Al2CuLi) phase in the BM, whereas TB (Al7Cu4Li) / T2 (Al6CuLi3) in the SZ. Scanning vibrating electrode technique (SVET) analysis was very useful in the study of SLC in the AA2198-T8 alloy showing the development of high anodic current densities at the mouth of the SLC sites.

2020 - ARAUJO, JOAO V. de S.; MILAGRE, MARIANA X.; FERREIRA, RAPHAEL O.; MACHADO, CARULINE de S.C.; BUGARIN, ALINE de F.S.; MACHADO, IZABEL F.; COSTA, ISOLDA
In this study, the resistance to exfoliation and intergranular corrosion (IGC) of the 2198 Al–Cu–Li alloy submitted to different thermomechanical treatments (T3, T8, and T851) was investigated. The tests were carried out following the standard practices, ASTM G34‐18 and ASTM G110‐15, respectively. All the tested alloys showed susceptibility to exfoliation and some alloys showed susceptibility to IGC, but the artificially aged alloys presented a higher tendency to exfoliation. The extensive hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) was observed on the surfaces of artificially aged alloys when immersed in the EXCO solution. The HER resulted in an increase in solution pH with the time of immersion. Also, the weight losses related to the artificially aged alloys were higher than that of the naturally aged ones. The T8 treatment was the only condition that resulted in susceptibility to both, intergranular and transgranular corrosion, whereas the T851 treatment did not show IGC susceptibility, only transgranular corrosion. Finally, the 2198‐T3 condition showed the highest corrosion resistance among the thermomechanical treatments tested. The results of the 2198 alloy subjected to various treatments were compared with that of the 2024‐T3 alloy. This last alloy showed higher resistance to exfoliation and IGC as compared with the 2198 alloy.
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.
Galvanic and asymmetry effects on the local electrochemical behavior of the 2098-T351 alloy welded by friction stir welding
2020 - MILAGRE, MARIANA X.; DONATUS, UYIME; MOGILI, NAGA V.; SILVA, REJANE M.P.; VIVEIROS, BARBARA V.G. de; PEREIRA, VICTOR F.; ANTUNES, RENATO A.; MACHADO, CARULINE S.C.; ARAUJO, JOAO V.S.; COSTA, ISOLDA
Scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) and scanning vibrating electrode technique (SVET) were used to investigate the electrochemical behaviour of the top surface of the 2098-T351 alloy welded by friction stir welding (FSW). The SVET technique was efficient in identifying the cathodic and anodic weld regions. The welding joint (WJ), which comprises the thermomechanically affected zone (TMAZ) and the stir zone (SZ), was cathodic relative to the heated affected zone (HAZ) and the base metal (BM). The reactivities of the welding joint at the advancing side (AS) and the retreating side (RS) were analyzed and compared using SECM technique in the competition mode by monitoring the dissolved oxygen as a redox mediator in 0.005 mol L−1 NaCl solution. The RS was more electrochemically active than the AS, and these results were correlated with the microstructural features of the welded alloy.

2017 - MILAGRE, MARIANA X.; MACHADO, CARULINE S.C.; ARAUJO, JOAO V.; ASTARITA, ANTONELLO; PEBERE, NADINE; VIVIER, VINCENT; COSTA, ISOLDA
In the present study, the intergranular corrosion (IGC) susceptibility of commercial Al-Cu-Li alloys of the third generation (AA2098-T351, AA2198-T3 and AA2198-T851) was compared with that of the AA2024-T3 alloy according to ASTM G110 test. In addition, anodic and cathodic polarization curves were carried out in the ASTM G110 test solution at room temperature. The cross-section of the samples after the ASTM G110 test was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to evaluate the extension of the corrosion attack. The susceptibility to intergranular attack of the tested alloys was ranked according to the attack by IGC and from the anodic and cathodic polarization curves. The results showed that the AA2024-T3 and the AA2198-T3 alloys presented higher susceptibility to intergranular corrosion comparatively to the other alloys tested (AA2098-T351 and AA2198-T851). The AA2098-T351 alloy was associated to the highest resistance to intergranular attack among the alloys evaluated. A correlation was seemingly established between the stress relief treatment of the alloy and its corresponding susceptibility to intergranular or intragranular corrosion.

2020 - KLUMPP, RAFAEL E.; DONATUS, UYIME; ARAUJO, JOAO V.S.; REDÍGOLO, MARCELO M.; MACHADO, CARULINE de S.C.; COSTA, ISOLDA
The effect of acid pickling pretreatments prior to cerium conversion coating process on the corrosion behavior of AA2198-T851 alloy substrates was investigated. Three acid pretreatments were employed: nitric acid (HNO3), phosphoric acid (H3PO4) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4). The cerium conversion coating process was performed using a batch solution composed of cerium nitrate and hydrogen peroxide. Microscopic techniques, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, polarization resistance and open-circuit potential measurements were employed to investigate the effect of each acid pretreatment. The untreated and nitric acid pretreated substrates presented more defective cerium conversion layers than the substrates treated with phosphoric and sulfuric acids. Accordingly, the corrosion resistance of the untreated and nitric acid-treated substrates was very low, while that of the substrates treated with phosphoric acid and sulfuric acids were greatly improved. The sulfuric acid pickling treatment was the best pretreatment before cerium conversion coating among the investigated pretreatments on the AA2198-T851 Al-Cu-Li alloy.

2019 - MACHADO, CARULINE de S.C.; SILVA, REJANE M. da; ARAUJO, JOAO V. de S.; DONATUS, UYIME; MILAGRE, MARIANA X.; KLUMPP, RAFAEL E.; ROSSI, JESUALDO L.; COSTA, ISOLDA
In this work, the influence of chloride ions concentration on the corrosion behavior of the AA2198-T8 alloy was evaluated. Immersion test and electrochemical analyses were performed in sodium chloride solutions of three concentrations, 0.001 mol L-1, 0.005 mol L-1 and 0.01 mol L-1. The results showed that the AA2198-T8 alloy was susceptible to localized corrosion (LC) and to severe localized corrosion (SLC) in all conditions investigated. The electrochemical results obtained by open circuit potential measurements, cyclic voltammetry and potentiodynamic polarization curves were associated with the corroded microstructure of the alloy. Although electrochemical techniques allowed differentiating the corrosion resistance as a function of chloride concentration, the result was strongly influenced by the corroded/uncorroded area ratio related to the SLC.
Correlating the modes of corrosion with microstructure in the friction stir welded AA2198-T8 alloy in aqueous hydrogen peroxide-chloride medium
2019 - MACHADO, CARULINE de S.C.; DONATUS, UYIME; MILAGRE, MARIANA X.; MOGILI, NAGA V.V.; GIORJÃO, RAFAEL A.R.; KLUMPP, RAFAEL E.; ARAUJO, JOAO V. de S.; FERREIRA, RAPHAEL O.; COSTA, ISOLDA
In this study, different types of localized corrosion in the friction stir welding (FSW) zones of an AA2198-T8 when the alloy is subjected to a corrosion test in a hydrogen peroxide–chloride solution (according to ASTM G110 standard) has been investigated. The corrosion modes were correlated with microstructure, especially with respect to the T1 phase and coarse Al-Cu-Fe phase distribution across the weldment. Simulated thermal profile and microhardness measurements were used to establish the variations in T1 phase distribution. Two types of corrosion were observed in the FSW zones: intense pitting and intergranular corrosion—type I; and the formation of cavities and trenches—type II. Type I is associated with the T1 phase while type II is associated with Al-Cu-Fe coarse intermetallics. Both types were found on the base metal (BM) and heat affected zone, but the type I reduced in the latter toward the stir zone (SZ). The SZ/thermomechanically affected zone (TMAZ) exhibited only type II. Also, Cu enrichment was observed around the type II sites in the SZ/TMAZ. Furthermore, an inverse correlation between microhardness and corrosion resistance which was related to T1 phase concentration in the different zones was also observed. Moreover, the SZ and BM were isolated and evaluated by an immersion test and electrochemical analysis using the ASTM G110 test solution. The results indicated galvanic coupling effects, as the SZ was strongly attacked when exposed separately compared to when it was coupled with the other zones.
Exfoliation corrosion susceptibility in the zones of friction stir welded AA2098-T351
2019 - MILAGRE, MARIANA X.; DONATUS, UYIME; MACHADO, CARULINE S.C.; ARAUJO, JOAO V.S.; FERREIRA, RAPHAEL O.; SILVA, REJANE M.P.; ANTUNES, RENATO A.; COSTA, ISOLDA
In the present study, the exfoliation susceptibility of the weld zones in friction stir weldedAA2098-T351 was compared with that of the base metal (BM) according to ASTM G34 stan-dard practice. Friction stir welding (FSW) had a significant effect on the microstructure of theAl alloy tested and the susceptibility to exfoliation was strongly affected by the microstruc-ture. Different features of corrosion attack and exfoliation susceptibility were observed whenthe zones affected by FSW were tested isolated or coupled. Also, the near-surface deformedlayer had an important effect on the Al alloy susceptibility to exfoliation. These are themain findings of this work. The corrosion features were correlated with the microstructuralmodifications related to the welding process and with the electrochemical response. TheT1 phase morphology, distribution and size were critical for exfoliation susceptibility. Thestir zone (SZ) was the zone most resistant to exfoliation. However, resistance to exfoliationvaried with the temperatures reached in the heat affected zones (HAZs). The HAZ exposedto the lowest temperatures during welding, HAZ (LT), was the most susceptible to exfoli-ation, whereas the HAZ exposed to the highest temperatures, HAZ (HT), presented highresistance to exfoliation, similarly to the SZ. The ASTM-G34 practice was an effective anduseful method in identifying the different exfoliation resistances of the BM and the vari-ous zones affected by FSW. The results of this practice were supported by electrochemicalimpedance spectroscopy (EIS) tests.
