Abstract

Alumina coating was formed on AA7075 aluminum alloy by micro arc oxidation (MAO) method and its corrosion and stress corrosion cracking (SCC) behaviors were examined in 3.5% (mass fraction) NaCl solution. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was used to evaluate the degradation of the coating as a function of immersion time and was modeled with appropriate equivalent circuits. Constant load stress corrosion cracking (SCC) results followed by post-test metallographic observations demonstrated the usefulness of MAO coating to avoid the premature failure of the alloy due to severe localized corrosion initiated by Cu- and Fe-rich intermetallic phases.
