The Effect of Cerium and Twins Fraction on Corrosion Resistance of AZ31-1Ca Sheet Alloys

Öz

In this study, in the range of 0.2% to 1.0% Ce elements were added to AZ31-1Ca alloys produced by low pressure die casting method. Hot rolling process was applied to these produced alloys at 400 °C with 1,5 m/min rolling speed at 15% deformation rate per pass. The corrosion resistance of samples extracted from sheets that have included different twins fraction after various Ce adding were investigated at 3.5% NaCl solution for 72 hours according to ASTM G31 of Standard Practice for Laboratory Immersion Corrosion Testing of Metals. The effect of secondary phases, grain size and twins on immersion corrosion resistance of investigated alloys was studied systemically on the base of microstructure analysis.

AZ31-1Ca Saç Alaşımların Korozyon Direncine Seryum ve İkizlenme Fraksiyonun Etkisi

Öz

Bu çalışmada, %0,2 ile %1 arasında Ce elementi AZ31-1Ca alaşımına ilave edilmiş ve alçak basınçlı kokil kalıba döküm yöntemiyle alaşımlar üretilmiştir. Üretilen alaşımlara 400 °C’de ve 1,5 m/min hadde hızında %15 olacak şekilde paso başına kesit daralması yapılarak sıcak haddeleme uygulanmıştır. ASTM G31 standardına göre saç malzemelerden çıkartılan malzemeler üzerinde 72 saat boyunca daldırma korozyon testi yapılmıştır. Ce ilaveli alaşımların korozyon direncine ikincil fazların, ortalama tane boyutunun ve ikizlenme fraksiyonun etkisi mikroyapısal karakterizasyon bulgularıyla desteklenerek incelenmiştir.
