Abstract

The structure and corrosion properties of as-cast quasicrystalline Al₇₂Fe₁₅Ni₁₃ and Al₇₂Co₁₈Ni₁₀ alloys in acidic media were studied in this work. The structure was investigated by the methods of quantitative metallography, X-ray analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry. Corrosion resistance was evaluated by gravimetric method in aqueous acidic solutions of HCl, H₂SO₄, HNO₃, and H₃PO₄ (рН=1.0). Both the investigated alloys were shown to form stable decagonal quasicrystalline D-phases. In the Al₇₂Co₁₈Ni₁₀ alloy, the D-phase is a primarily solidified phase but, in the Al₇₂Fe₁₅Ni₁₃ alloy, the D-phase is formed peritectically. Depending on the alloy composition, two types of decagonal quasicrystals were observed that belong in Al₇₂Fe₁₅Ni₁₃ and Al₇₂Co₁₈Ni₁₀ alloys, respectively, to Al₈₆Fe₁₄- and Al₇₃Co₂₇-based compounds alloyed with Ni. The Al₇₂Fe₁₅Ni₂₃ alloy exhibits the highest resistance to corrosion in the nitric acidic solution, but the Al₇₂Co₁₈Ni₁₀ alloy – in chloric, orthophosphoric, and sulphuric acidic solutions (in descending order). For both alloys, in the most solutions, relatively uniform dissolution of the alloys’ surface is observed except for the more defective areas that dissolve at a higher rate.
