Abstract

The structure and corrosion properties of quasicrystalline Al65Co20Cu15 and Al72Co18Ni10 fillers and composites on their base were investigated in this work. Composites were fabricated by furnace infiltration without applying pressure. Copper-based alloys of Л62 and БрОЦ 10-2 grades or aluminum-based alloy of АМг30 grade were used as metal binders of composites. Structural and phase composition of the fillers and the composites was determined by methods of metallography, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry, and X-ray analysis. Corrosion properties were investigated by potentiodynamic and gravimetric methods in aqueous solution of NaCl (рН=7.0) at room temperature. In the structure of the studied fillers, the quasicrystalline decagonal D-phase was established to coexist with crystalline Al4(Co,Cu)3 and Al3(Cu,Co)2 phases of the Al65Co20Cu15 filler or Al9(Co,Ni)2 phase of the Al72Co18Ni10 filler. As results of corrosion tests evidence, Al72Co18Ni10 filler has higher resistance to corrosion in sodium chloride solution as compared with that of Al65Co20Cu15 filler. The highest corrosion rate shows the composite material with АМг30 binder and Al65Co20Cu15 filler, the lowest – material with БрОЦ 10-2 binder and Al72Co18Ni10 filler that may be recommended as protective coating in sea climate.
