Definitions
- TITLE Process for evaluating the corrosion resistance of a surface
- the present invention generally relates to the corrosion resistance of a surface.
- the invention relates to a method for evaluating the corrosion resistance of a surface, such as the surface of an aircraft part.
- An existing solution consists in applying a coating to the surface of the part made of a material having corrosion resistance properties greater than the properties of the part receiving the coating. According to one example, it is possible to deposit a layer of paint.
- salt spray tests are carried out in order to discriminate between different means of protection according to their ability to resist corrosion and to detect the best candidate according to the role and location of the part in the aircraft.
- a salt solution is sprayed on the surface of each of the materials to be evaluated under certain predefined conditions of pressure, pH and temperature.
- the object of the invention is therefore to remedy these drawbacks and to propose a method which is simple to implement and which makes it possible to rapidly assess the corrosion resistance of a surface.
- a method for evaluating the resistance to corrosion of at least one surface comprising: a) carrying out one or more sequences of n cyclic electrochemical test cycles on the surface, where n is a whole number greater than or equal to 1, each cycle comprising the following three successive steps: a first step of measurement by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy of one or more electrochemical quantities reflecting the corrosion resistance of the surface; a second cathodic polarization step; and a third step of potential relaxation; b) carrying out a visual inspection at the end of each cyclic electrochemical test sequence for the detection of surface degradation and, upon detection by visual inspection of the appearance of surface degradation during of a sequence, the cyclic electrochemical test cycles being stopped at the end of said sequence; and c) evaluation of the corrosion resistance of the surface from the study of the electrochemical quantities measured.
- FIG 1 is a photograph of a metal sample coated with a layer of non-chromated solvent-based paint A obtained at the end of a corrosion resistance evaluation process according to the invention.
- FIG 2 is a photograph of a metal sample coated with a layer of chromated paint B obtained at the end of a method for evaluating the resistance to corrosion according to the invention.
- FIG 3 is a photograph of a metal sample coated with a layer of non-chromated water-dilutable paint C obtained at the end of a process for evaluating the resistance to corrosion according to the invention.
- the limits of a domain of values are included in this domain, in particular in the expression “included between”.
- the surface whose corrosion resistance is evaluated can be, for example, the surface of an aircraft part.
- the method relates to the evaluation of the corrosion resistance of a surface of a part of a different sector.
- the surface studied can be the surface of a part that has undergone a surface treatment.
- the surface studied is the surface of a coating applied to the part, such as a paint.
- one or more sequences of n cyclic electrochemical test cycles are carried out on the surface.
- the Cyclic Electrochemical Test is an Accelerated Cyclic Electrochemical Test or "ACET", short for Accelerated Cyclic Electrochemical Test, otherwise known as the AC-DC-AC test method, is conventionally used to theoretically characterize the properties of resistance to coating corrosion.
- Each cycle comprises three successive stages.
- the first step is a step of measurement by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy making it possible to characterize the surface by obtaining one or more electrochemical quantities from which it is possible to determine the corrosion resistance of the surface.
- Measurements can be conducted using a potentiostat with an electrochemical impedance spectroscopy component.
- the first step of measurement by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy comprises the establishment of one or more graphical representations from among: a phase diagram, an impedance modulus diagram and a Nyquist diagram.
- the second step is a cathodic polarization step, making it possible to cathodically stress the surface in order to degrade it.
- the cathodic polarization step includes monitoring the evolution of the intensity as a function of time by establishing a graphical representation.
- the third stage of potential relaxation is a stage of rest which allows the surface to regain its balance after solicitation.
- the potential relaxation step comprises monitoring the evolution of the abandonment potential, also called open circuit potential (OCP) as a function of time by establishing a graphical representation.
- OCP open circuit potential
- the Accelerated Cyclic Electrochemical Test (ACET) sequences and in particular the interpretation of the data from the first stage, are correlated with a visual inspection of the surface.
- the accelerated cyclic electrochemical test cycles are stopped at the end of the sequence during which the appearance of surface degradation has been detected by visual inspection.
- the corrosion resistance of the surface is thus determined from the study of the results obtained during the first accelerated cyclic electrochemical test step, that is to say from the measured electrochemical quantities.
- a fourth step similar to the first step for the measurement by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy of a or several electrochemical quantities reflecting the corrosion resistance of the surface.
- the method for evaluating the corrosion resistance of the surface comprises determining the cycle during which the degradation, observed by visual inspection, appeared. This determination is made by studying the electrochemical quantities measured during the last sequence that was carried out, i.e. before stopping the accelerated cyclic electrochemical test cycles.
- the determination of the cycle during which the degradation appeared includes the study of the established graphical representations, such as a phase diagram, an impedance modulus diagram and a Nyquist diagram.
- the second cathodic bias step is carried out at a voltage lower than -5V in order to create defects on the surface, preferably between -5V and -10V, more preferably between -7V and -9V.
- the number n of cycles of an accelerated cyclic electrochemical test sequence can be between 2 and 10, preferably between 4 and 8, more preferably equal to 6.
- the number n of cycles of a sequence can be adjusted according to the nature of the surface, for example the surface of a coating, studied.
- the second cathodic polarization step can be carried out, preferably, for a time comprised between 10 min and 60 min, preferably comprised between 15 min and 25 min.
- a duration of between 15 and 25 min is particularly advantageous for obtaining visible degradation without being too severe.
- a step to verify the absence of surface defects can be carried out in order to ensure that no defect is likely to distort the results. assessment results the corrosion resistance of the surface, in particular by the formation of preferential corrosion at the level of this potential defect.
- the corrosion resistance evaluation method may then include a step of comparing the corrosion resistance of a plurality of surfaces.
- the evaluation of the resistance to corrosion of a plurality of surfaces can, for example, make it possible to discriminate between different coatings according to their capacity to resist corrosion and to detect the best candidate according to the role and the location of the coated part.
- the different surfaces can be classified by considering the number of sequences of n cycles that each of these surfaces resists.
- the accelerated cyclic electrochemical test cycles of the plurality of surfaces are stopped at the end of this sequence.
- the various coatings are of the same thickness.
- the method for evaluating the resistance to corrosion may comprise a step for verifying the equality of the thicknesses of the various coatings.
- the equality of the thicknesses of the various coatings can be carried out by a method based on the principle of eddy currents.
- Three samples of aircraft parts were prepared from coated 7050 aluminum alloy metal substrates, respectively, a layer of non-chromated solvent-based paint A, a layer of chromated paint B and a layer of non-chromated water-based paint C and the corrosion resistance of the three samples is studied using a method for evaluating the resistance to corrosion according to an embodiment of the invention.
- the corrosion resistance of these three coatings is evaluated using a three-electrode system comprising an Ag/AgCl reference electrode, a graphite counter electrode, and an electrolyte NaCl solution with a mass concentration of between 20 and 40g.
- a three-electrode system comprising an Ag/AgCl reference electrode, a graphite counter electrode, and an electrolyte NaCl solution with a mass concentration of between 20 and 40g.
- the studied surface of the coatings of the three samples, exposed to the NaCl solution, is 7.07 cm 2 .
- a sequence of six successive Accelerated Cyclic Electrochemical Test (ACET) cycles is performed on the surface of the three samples.
- Each cycle comprises successive first, second and third stages.
- a first step for measuring electrochemical quantities comprising the establishment, by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, of Bode diagrams, in particular phase diagram and impedance modulus diagram, and of a Nyquist diagram.
- Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy is performed for a time t equal to 7min and at a voltage equal to ⁇ 10mV vs OCP, where OCP is the open circuit potential or dropout potential.
- a second cathodic polarization step is carried out for a time between 15 and 25min and at a voltage between -7 and -9V vs OCP, making it possible to cathodically stress the surface in order to degrade it.
- a graphical representation of the intensity as a function of time is produced.
- a third step of potential relaxation is performed. This resting stage allows the surface to return to its equilibrium after having been heavily stressed.
- the number n of cycles per sequence is chosen equal to 6. At the end of each sequence of 6 cycles, a visual inspection of the surface is carried out in order to detect the appearance of a degradation on the three coatings.
- the accelerated cyclic electrochemical test (ACET) cycles are then stopped at the end of this first sequence of 6 cycles.
- the phase diagram shows the presence of a capacitive behavior during the 6 cycles and the absence of degradation.
- the impedance modulus diagram shows a high overall resistance to corrosion 1 O 10 Q .cm 2 . This reflects good corrosion resistance according to the graph.
- the Nyquist diagram shows a negligible reduction in the arcs of circles and an absence of degradation.
- non-chromated solvent-based paint 1 is an effective protective coating against corrosion, not undergoing any degradation after a sequence of 6 ACET cycles.
- the phase diagram shows the transition from a capacitive character to a resistive character during the 6 ACET test cycles, reflecting a degradation.
- the impedance modulus diagram makes it possible to observe a high overall corrosion resistance but which decreases during the 6 ACET test cycles, with a change from 10 10 Q.cm 2 to 10 8 Q.cm 2 . This reflects good corrosion resistance and low or occasional degradation.
- the Nyquist diagram makes it possible to observe a negligible reduction in the arcs of circles reflecting little or no degradation.
- phase diagram shows the transition from a capacitive character to a resistive character during the 6 cycles, and this in two stages. This reflects the appearance of a degradation.
- the impedance modulus diagram shows a high overall resistance to corrosion initially, but which decreases during the 6 cycles, with a change from 10 9 Q.cm 2 to 10 5 Q.cm 2 . This reflects significant degradation of the system, 10 5 Q .cm 2 being a low value for a paint.
- the Nyquist diagram makes it possible to observe a significant reduction in the arcs of circles reflecting a degradation.
- the graphical representation of the intensity as a function of time obtained during the cathodic polarization reflects a transfer of charges which increases during the 6 cycles of ACET test up to 40mA. This high current indicates the appearance of corrosion phenomena.
- the graphical representation of the abandonment potential as a function of time obtained during the relaxation of potential makes it possible to note the obtaining of potentials equal to the corrosion potential of the aluminum alloy 7050. This reflects a risk of infiltration of the electrolyte to the metal substrate which could lead to degradation of the coating.
