Abstract:
State-of-the-art research progress on microstructure，corrosion resistance and anodizing behavior of the third generation aluminum-lithium alloys has been reviewed，with particular focus on the effect of microstructure on corrosion resistance of the new-type aluminum-lithium alloy AA2099-T8 before and after anodizing. It was found that two types of localized corrosion occurred in the alloy in 3.5% NaCl solution， namely metastable localized corrosion and severe localized corrosion. The metastable localized corrosion is ascribed to Al-Fe-Mn-Cu-(Li) constituent particles while the severe localized corrosion is associated with localized plastic deformation and heterogeneous precipitation of the T1(Al2CuLi) phase. During tartaric-sulphuric acid anodizing (TSA)，the Al-Fe-Mn-Cu-(Li) constituent particles behaved differently compared with the alloy matrix，leading to the formation of discontinuities in the anodic film，which deteriorates the corrosion resistance of the anodized alloy.
