Abstract

The utilization of metal materials finds widespread applications in various industries, including the aircraft industry, where aluminum alloys are commonly employed. However, metal materials are prone to corrosion under specific conditions, necessitating the implementation of corrosion prevention methods to decelerate the material's corrosion rate. Corrosion is a process in which the quality of metal deteriorates due to environmental influences. An effective approach to inhibit corrosion is through anodizing, which involves applying a protective coating to the metal surface, preventing direct contact with the surrounding environment. In this research, the focus was on studying the corrosion rate of aluminum alloy 2024 using Boric Sulfate Acid Anodizing (BSAA) at 10 volts and immersion times of 10, 15, and 20 minutes, followed by sealing with acetic acid in a corrosive environment containing 3.5 % NaCl. The main goals were to evaluate the effectiveness of anodizing with and without sealing in lowering the rate of aluminum corrosion, to compare the effectiveness of anodizing with and without sealing, and to create adsorption models using Langmuir adsorption. Through the examination of the potentiodynamic approach, it was shown that anodizing had an inhibitory impact that was strengthened by sealing. The maximum efficiency of 76 % was attained after 20 minutes of anodizing and sealing at 10 volts. A correlation value of 0.7487 from the Langmuir adsorption modeling was also obtained, pointing to an advantageous adsorption behavior. This research demonstrates how effectively anodizing for aluminum alloy 2024 works with and without sealing, especially in a 3.5 % NaCl-corrosive environment
