Protection Against Marine Corrosion of Aluminum Alloy A6061: EIS and SEM-EDS Approaches

This paper describes how the corrosion studies of the AA6061 aluminum alloy have been carried out at two different environments exposed to seawater. The results indicate that natural honey is an effective corrosion inhibitor for AA6061 aluminum in seawater. Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) measurements clarified that the corrosion process was mainly charge-transfer controlled and no change in the corrosion mechanism occurred because of the inhibitor addition in seawater. The morphology study presented in this paper showed that the development of thin film on the specimen immersed in seawater with presence of natural honey.
