利用SEM、EDAX、XRD等技术分析3种不同Al添加量的镁合金的显微组织和相结构,经实验室模拟金属大气腐蚀实验后观察其腐蚀形貌。结果表明,随着Al含量的增加,Mg-Al合金中β相(Mg17Al12)的数量明显增加;不存在β相的镁合金表面腐蚀产物较少,基体腐蚀较浅,存在β相的镁合金表面腐蚀产物较多,基体出现较深的腐蚀坑;β相的数量与分布的不同是镁合金腐蚀形貌存在差异的主要原因。
Microstructure and phase constituent of magnesium-aluminum alloys adding different aluminum content (3.4 mass%, 9.3 mass%, 20.7 mass%)were investigated utilizing the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) equipped with energy-dispersive analysis of X-ray(EDAX) and X-ray diffraction (XRD).The influence of microstructure on the corrosion morphologies was observed after corrosion tests in laboratory simulated atmosphere. The results indicated that magnesium-aluminum alloys with different aluminum content in the atmospheric environment had different corrosion behavior due to amount and distribution of the/3 phase (Mg17TAl12). Mg-3Al alloy was approximately single-phase alloy,while Mg-9A] alloy and Mg-21Al alloy were two-phase alloys.There were more β phase in Mg-21Al alloy than in Mg-9Al alloy because of its higher aluminum content.Mg-3Al alloy exhibited better atmospheric corrosion resistance than Mg-9Al alloy and Mg-21Al alloy. There were fewer corrosion products on the surfaces of Mg-3Al specimens, while severe corrosion was found to take place in both Mg-9Al alloy and Mg-21Al alloy due to the presence of the β phase in them. More specifically,it was discovered that due to the absence of the couple-actuation of β phase,the corrosion of single-phase alloy Mg-3Al may be attributed solely to the pitting caused by high concentration of Cl^- near the NaCl deposits. However, with Mg-9Al alloy and Mg-21Al alloy,a more important factor for corrosion is the presence of β phase. Under couple-actuation of the negative of β phase, a phase causes a corrosion along the depth extent.
