The results from both the OCP and EIS tests show that surface activation was observed in the Al-Zn alloy with the addition of 1.34 wt.% Sn which can be manifested by the shift of OCP values towards more electronegative direction. The EIS spectra of Al-Zn alloy exhibits a semicircle loop, while the EIS spectra for the Al-Zn-Sn alloy exhibits a semicircle with a semicircle inductive loop. The change in EIS spectra for Al-Zn-Sn alloy is correlated to the increase of surface activation resulting in a less stable passive layer. Equivalent circuits models were proposed to fit the impedance spectra and the corresponding electrical parameters with optimum values were deduced. The modulus impedance in the low frequency region or polarization resistance, Rpol obtained for the Al-Zn-Sn alloy, Rpol = 2.76 kΩ cm2) is slightly decreased compared to the corresponding value of the Al-Zn alloy, Rpol = 3.97 kΩ cm2), indicating a considerable reduction in the protective capability of the oxide layer on the Al- Zn-Sn alloy. It appears that the heterogeneous oxide film and pores formed on the Al-Zn-Sn alloy play a key role in reducing total resistance to the flow of electron at the alloy-electrolyte interface. 2012-05-31T07:04:02Z 2012-05-31T07:04:02Z 2012 Article Key Engineering Materials, vols. 510-511, 2012, pages 284-292 1013-9826 http://www.scientific.net/KEM.510-511.284 http://hdl.handle.net/123456789/19480 en Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland |
