Galvanic corrosion behaviour of carbon fibre reinforced polymer/magnesium alloys coupling

The galvanic corrosion behaviour of carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP, T300/648) in contact with different magnesium alloys (AZ31, LZ91 and LZ141) in a sodium chloride solution and the influence of micro-arc oxidation (MAO) film on the corrosion behaviour of CFRP/magnesium alloys coupling were investigated using the electrochemical method. The results showed that the galvanic activity of CFRP/magnesium alloys coupling increased with the increase of lithium concentrations. The duration of the inhibitory effect of MAO film on the corrosion of CFRP/Mg-Li coupling is longer than that of CFRP/Mg-Al coupling due to its double-layer structure. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.
