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.

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.

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.

Abstract

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.
