Artigo IPEN-doc 22349 Corrosion behavior of hydrotalcite coated AA 6061 alloy2014 - FERNANDES, STELA M.; CORREA, OLANDIR V.; SOUZA, JOSE A.; RAMANATHAN, LALGUDI V.; ANTUNES, RENATO A.; OLIVEIRA, MARA C. dePitting corrosion of the aluminium cladding of spent research reactor (RR) fuel during wet storage is the main form of degradation and this could eventually lead to release of fissile material and contamination of storage facilities. Hence, the use of conversion coatings to protect spent Al-clad RR fuel during long term storage was proposed. Preliminary laboratory and field investigations carried out at IPEN in São Paulo, Brazil, revealed that cerium hydroxide coatings increased the corrosion resistance of Al alloys. These investigations were extended to include boehmite, hydrotalcite (HTC), cerium modified boehmite and cerium modified HTC coatings on Al alloy surfaces. This paper presents: (a) the preparation of hydrotalcite coatings from different baths followed by post-coating treatments; (b) the results of x-ray diffraction analysis and scanning electron microscopic studies of the HTC coatings; (c) the effect of HTC coating process variables such as temperature, duration of treatment and the duration of cerium modification on HTC morphology and electrochemical polarization behavior of HTC coated AA 6061 alloy in NaCl; (d) results of field tests in which uncoated and HTC coated AA 6061 coupons were exposed to the IEA-R1 reactor spent fuel basin for up to 5 months. The laboratory test specimens as well as the field test coupons coated with HTC from a high temperature bath followed by cerium modification were the most resistant to pitting.Artigo IPEN-doc 22346 Influence of aging time on the corrosion behavior of 6061 Al alloy in alkaline solution2014 - CORREA, OLANDIR V.; SOUZA, JOSE A.B. de; OLIVEIRA, MARA C.L. de; ANTUNES, RENATO A.Al alloys of the 6XXX series (Al-Mg-Si) are employed as structural materials in a variety of industrial applications due to a combination of high mechanical strength and good corrosion resistance. The final mechanical properties are achieved after specific precipitation hardening heat treatments. The aging time during precipitation hardening is known to affect these properties and can also influence the corrosion resistance of the alloy. The susceptibility of Al alloys to corrosion in alkaline media is well-known. In this work the effect of aging time on the corrosion behavior of 6061 Al alloy was evaluated in NaOH and NaCl solutions. The material was aged at 200 ºC for times ranging from 1 to 36 h. The corrosion behavior of the aged alloy was studied using potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The results showed that the corrosion resistance was progressively lower for increasing aging times up to 8 h in NaCl and up to 24 h in NaOH. Longer aging times led to a decrease of the corrosion current density.Artigo IPEN-doc 21711 Effect of processing on microstructure and corrosion mitigating properties of hydrotalcite coatings on AA 6061 alloy2015 - FERNANDES, STELA M. de C.; CORREA, OLANDIR V.; SOUZA, JOSE A.B. de; ANTUNES, RENATO A.; LIMA, NELSON B. de; RAMANATHAN, LALGUDI V.
