Abstract:
This study deals with the microstructure of rolled Al5083-H111 materials, their hardness, corrosion in different solutions, and rotary bending fatigue properties of non-corroded and corroded samples in different solutions. This study is the first to report the fatigue behavior of corroded samples in different aggressive corrosion environments of Al5083. The microstructure of the Al5083-H111 material is in the form of grains oriented towards the rolling direction and it consists of binary Al-Mg, Al-Mn, and Mg-Si; ternary Al-Mg-Si; and quaternary Al-Mn-Fe-Si and Al-Cr-Mn precipitated randomly at the grain boundary. The Brinell hardness of the Al5083-H111 material is 68.67 HB. According to the results of the immersion corrosion, while the sample was more resistant to corrosion in a 3.5% NaCl environment, it showed a less resistant behavior in a 3.5% NaCl + 10% HCl environment. As a result of the fatigue test, it was observed that the sample that did not undergo corrosion showed a higher fatigue life than the samples that were exposed to corrosion. The fatigue rate of the 3.5% NaCl corrosion sample was 3.5 times lower than the fatigue rate of the 3.5% NaCl + 10% HCl corrosion sample.
