Abstract: | Polarization measurements on short-circuit couples and weldments of aluminium alloys In order to study the corrosion behaviour of welded AlZnMg alloys potential/path profiles were registered under anodic polarization in sodium chloride solutions. Using theoretical considerations it is shown that this method is particularly suitable for aluminium alloys because current break-through occurs in such solutions. The performance of the method was checked with the aid of model couples of two alloys having different break-through potentials. |
