description

The film covering formed on AA5083 aluminium-magnesium alloy by immersion treatments in solutions containing CeCl 3 has been characterized by means of electrochemical techniques. The measurement of linear polarization has enabled to establish that the treatments applied provide efficient protection against both uniform and pitting corrosion of alloy AA5083, used in shipbuilding, in solutions of NaCl. This study has been focused on the use of Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy as a characterization technique for these film coverings.
