Abstract
This work aims at studying the corrosion behaviour of AA2024-T3 pre-treated with bis-[triethoxysilylpropyl]tetrasulphide. Simultaneously, the work investigates the influence of the Cu-rich intermetallic particles on the formation of the silane film. The analytical characterisation of the silane films was performed by Auger electron spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The corrosion performance of the pre-treated substrates was evaluated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Atomic force microscopy associated with Kelvin probe was also used to determine the influence of the silane film on the Volta potential distribution on the alloy surface. The results show that copper present in the intermetallics plays an important role on the film formation.
