Abstract

3XXX series Al alloys belong to the high-corrosion-resistant Al alloys. One of their main applications is in heat exchange systems. However, under a harsh tropical marine environment, the serving lifetime of a 3003 Al alloy-based heat exchange system will be shortened by corrosion. Therefore, the corrosion protection of 3XXX series Al alloys needs to be paid much attention. To address this issue, an investigation was undertaken to study NaVO3 as a possible corrosion inhibitor for the 3003 Al alloy. The cathodic and anodic polarization tests were employed to study the inhibition mechanism of NaVO3. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) tests were carried out to monitor the long-term inhibition performance of NaVO3. After applying 10 mM NaVO3 into 3.5 wt.% NaCl, the corrosion current density was reduced from 1.179 μA/cm2 to 148.3 nA/cm2. Additionally, the impedance increased with the immersion time. Followed by the characterization by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), the protection mechanism of NaVO3 was ascribed to the hydrolysis and adsorbed reduction of pentavalent vanadium.
