Influence of solutionizing parameters on the structure and corrosion resistance of the ZnAl40Cu3 alloy

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

The purpose of carried out examination was to determine the effect of solution heat treatment on the structure and corrosion resistance of the ZnAl40Cu3 alloy in the "acid rain" environment. The scope of the test included Brinell hardness tests, structural tests and galvanostatic and potentiodynamic tests. The examination showed that the maximum hardness of the sample after solution heat treatment obtain after 10 h of solutionizing. It has been shown that the solutionizing increases the corrosion resistance. The corrosion resistance was greater, when the longer was the time of solutionizing.
