Abstract  

The corrosion behavior of Cu-Al laminated boards was investigated by means of indoor neutral salt spray test, aiming to simulate the atmospheric environment induced corrosion, and electrochemical workstation, as well as scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy spectrometer (EDS), and X-ray diffractometer (XRD). The results show that Cu- and Al-laminates act as corrosion galvanic couple in salt spray environment, where the Cu plays as cathode, while Al as anode. The greater the area ratio of cathode to anode, the greater the corrosion rate. As the corrosion continued, the corrosion mainly occurred on the Al plate , and the corrosion was the most serious near the interface of the Cu-Al plates, serious denudation corrosion may appear on the Al-plate for long-term corrosion, while the Cu plate has almost no change. The corrosion products composed mainly of Al2O3, Al(OH)3 and AlO(OH). The electrochemical results show that during the corrosion process, the corrosion rate of Cu-Al composite laminated board increased firstly, then decreased and finally increased again.
