Abstract  

The corrosion behavior of welded partitions of 3003 Al-alloy, used for radiators of high-speed train, in artificial solution of settling dust, which aims to simulate the synergistic ation of the settling dusts and rains on the partitions in the real service, was studied by means of immersion test, polarization curve measurement, X-ray fluorescence (XRF), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Meanwhile, the relevant prediction model for the corrosion depth of welded partitions was established. The results show that, the pitting corrosion is dominant at the initial stage of corrosion, and then gradually evolves into intergranular corrosion. The main corrosion products of welded partitions are Al(OH)3 and AlCl3. In comparison with those of the as received ones, the corrosion potential of welded partitions after immersion for 180 d decreases by 24.5% and the corrosion current density increases by 156.7%. A prediction model for the maximum corrosion depth of welded partitions was established based on data of the immersion test results and the measured corrosion depth of the very welded partitions after 8 a of live vehicle service.
