Abstract

This review emphasizes on the effects of microstructure and alloying components on the electrochemical behavior of Al-Mg-Si alloys used as sacrificial anodes. The presence of alloying elements hinders surface film formation on aluminum, while microstructural factors such as grain size distribution and precipitate volume fraction influence alloy properties. The Al-Mg-Si phase diagram and the presence of the Mg2Si phase are also discussed, highlighting the effects of Mg and Si solubility. Additionally, the addition of Mg and Si shifts anodic polarization curves and affects Mg2Si morphology, impacting the alloys’ electrochemical behavior. The paper also delves into the effects of heat treatment on precipitation sequence, aging time, cooling rate, and their role in intergranular corrosion susceptibility.
