Abstract

The present study aimed to investigate the corrosion resistance of Al-Zn-Mg alloy under different times of heat straightening, utilizing the intergranular corrosion (IGC) and electrochemical testing. The results indicated a decrease in the IGC resistance of the Al-Zn-Mg alloy as a result of heat straightening. The maximum intergranular corrosion depth of 105 μm was obtained after one time of heat straightening. The discussion on the IGC behavior was centered on changes in precipitation at the grain boundaries and within the matrix. As the heat straightening times increased, the precipitate-free zone (PFZ) disappeared, and the precipitate phases underwent dissolution and re-precipitation. Notably, the sample after one time of heat straightening exhibited the most severe corrosion among the specimens, which was attributed to the higher precipitation coverage rate at the grain boundaries.
