CeLa enhanced corrosion resistance of Al-Cu-Mn-Mg-Fe alloy for lithium battery shell
2017
Abstract Effects of CeLa addition on the localized corrosion and electrochemical corrosion behavior of Al-Cu-Mn-Mg-Fe lithium battery shell alloy were investigated by immersion testing and electrochemical testing in 0.6 M NaCl solution at different temperatures. Experimental results indicated that CeLa addition resulted in the formation of AlCuCe/La (Al 8 Cu 4 Ce and Al 6 Cu 6 La) local cathodes and corrosion activity of the main intermetallic particles decreased in the order of Al 2 CuMg, AlCuCe/La, Al 6 (Mn, Fe). Corrosion potential shifted positively due to CeLa alloying. Corrosion current density of the CeLa-containing alloy was lower than that of the CeLa-free alloy at room temperature. At room temperature, there was no obvious surface passivation for both alloys. At 80 °C CeLa addition resulted in a wide passive region at the anode polarization region. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) analysis also indicated that corrosion resistance of the CeLa-containing alloy was much higher than that of the CeLa-free alloy.
