Descripción
Sumario:[EN] Anti-corrosion susceptibility is one of the top criteria for selecting metallic materials for several industrial applications. This work studies the corrosion performance of an Al-7075 alloy obtained by repetitive corrugation and straightening (RCS). This processing method generated a microstructure formed by randomly distributed micro-, submicro-, and nano- metric grain sizes. The samples exhibited a drop in corrosion resistance for a longer duration in the electrolyte and higher deformation. However, the samples processed by RCS showed better electrochemical stability than the non-deformed condition. The improved electrochemical stability could be associated with the particular microstructure generated during the RCS process.
