摘要：高强铝合金在航空航天、汽车、船舶等领域具有广泛的应用前景，但其焊接接头腐蚀问题一直是制约其应用的重要因素。本文通过对高强铝合金搅拌摩擦焊接头的电化学腐蚀行为研究，探究其腐蚀机理，并利用寿命预测模型进行寿命的预测。

本文首先介绍了高强铝合金的特点及搅拌摩擦焊的原理和工艺参数。采用自制搅拌摩擦焊装置制备高强铝合金接头，通过电化学阻抗谱、极化曲线等方法研究了焊接接头在不同腐蚀介质（3.5%NaCl溶液、0.1mol/LHCl溶液、0.1mol/LNaOH溶液）中的腐蚀行为。结合SEM、EDS、XRD等手段，分析了焊接接头的微观结构和腐蚀产物。

高强铝合金在航空航天、汽车、船舶等领域广泛应用，但其焊接接头腐蚀问题一直是限制其应用的重要因素。搅拌摩擦焊是高强铝合金焊接的一种有效方法，其实现焊接的过程是通过机械旋转和下压力，使工件的表面材料在高温状态下发生塑性变形和混合，从而实现焊接。由于该焊接方式的特殊性质，其焊接接头的电化学腐蚀行为尚未得到充分的研究。本文通过对高强铝合金搅拌摩擦焊接头的电化学腐蚀行为研究，探究其腐蚀机理，并利用寿命预测模型进行寿命的预测。

ExperimentalMethods

采用自制搅拌摩擦焊装置制备高强铝合金接头，分别进行3.5%NaCl溶液、0.1mol/LHCl溶液、0.1mol/LNaOH溶液的电化学测试。利用电化学阻抗谱和极化曲线测试样品的电化学腐蚀性能。用SEM、EDS、XRD等手段分析和比较不同腐蚀条件下焊接接头的微观结构和腐蚀产物。应用寿命预测模型对焊接接头的寿命进行预测。

ResultsandDiscussion

焊接接头在3.5%NaCl溶液中表现出最强的腐蚀性，0.1mol/LNaOH溶液次之，而在0.1mol/LHCl溶液中表现出最弱的腐蚀性。这表明，NaCl溶液中水分解产生的氧化性物质很容易进入焊接接头的微观组织并引起氧化还原反应，加剧了腐蚀作用。0.1mol/LNaOH溶液中存在的氢氧根离子则导致焊接接头发生脱钠现象，也会引起侵蚀作用。0.1mol/LHCl溶液的腐蚀性最弱，可能是由于HCl的强酸性导致了附着在焊接接头表面的腐蚀产物形成了一层保护膜，从而延缓了腐蚀作用的发生。

焊接接头的腐蚀机理主要为局部腐蚀和晶间腐蚀。SEM和EDS结果表明，焊接接头在3.5%NaCl溶液中出现了较为严重的局部腐蚀，其内部发生了铜-硅团簇聚集，而在0.1mol/LHCl溶液中则未发现明显的腐蚀痕迹。XRD分析表明，焊接接头在3.5%NaCl溶液中产生了较多的Al2O3、Al(OH)3等物质，并可能由于铜-硅团簇在电解质中的离子迁移作用而引起了析铜现象。

建立的高强铝合金搅拌摩擦焊接头的寿命预测模型表明，焊接接头在3.5%NaCl溶液中的腐蚀寿命最短，远远低于0.1mol/LNaOH溶液和0.1mol/LHCl溶液的腐蚀寿命。该模型预测结果符合实际腐蚀寿命。其结果表明，高强铝合金焊接接头的腐蚀寿命与腐蚀介质的性质有关，并可通过寿命预测模型预测焊接接头的实际使用寿命。

Conclusions

高强铝合金搅拌摩擦焊接头的电化学腐蚀行为主要表现为局部腐蚀和晶间腐蚀。3.5%NaCl溶液对焊接接头具有最强的腐蚀性，0.1mol/LHCl溶液次之，而0.1mol/LNaOH溶液的腐蚀性最弱。建立的寿命预测模型可以预测焊接接头在不同腐蚀介质下的寿命，可提供参考和指导焊接接头的设计和使用。Futureresearchshouldaimtoexploretheeffectsofdifferentweldingparametersonthecorrosionbehaviorofthehigh-strengthaluminumalloyfriction-stirweldedjoint.Theweldingspeed,rotationalspeed,anddownforcecanallinfluencethemicrostructureandcorrosionbehaviorofthejoint.Therefore,furtherinvestigationsintotheseparameterscanhelpoptimizetheweldingconditionstoreducethesusceptibilityoftheweldedjointtocorrosion.
