Abstract

The purpose of the examination was to determine the corrosion resistance of ZnAl40Cu(1-2)Ti(1-2) alloys in an "acid rain". Subject of test were ZnAl40Cu2Ti, ZnAl40Ti2Cu1.5Ti1.5 and ZnAl40Ti2Cu alloys. The scope of the test included galvanostatic, potentiodynamic tests and examination of the surface of the samples after corrosion. It was found, that the ZnAl40Cu2Ti alloy is characterized by the highest corrosion resistance among the tested alloys. Tests have shown that with a decrease in copper content in the tested alloys decreases corrosion resistance. It was also found that the corrosion of alloys tested in an "acid rain" is local.
