Flow-Induced Corrosion of Aluminum Alloy in Acidic Rain Environment

Abstract

Flow-induced corrosion test has been carried out on aluminum alloy 6063 in acidic rain environment using a designed test rig. The aluminum alloy was subjected to a simulated flow of acidic rain (pH 2.4) which is dissolution of NO2 and SO2 in atmospheric water.  Results obtained revealed that the weight loss increased with increasing testing time at a fixed flow rate in both H2SO4 and HNO3 environments. Corrosion rate determined by gravimetric method decreased with increasing testing time.
