Corrosion of aluminum-magnesium alloy from a drop of salt solution.

Experimental studies on the effect of aqueous salt solution on the corrosion of the aluminum alloy during droplet evaporation have been carried out. Corrosion on a smooth surface will increase the evaporation rate. The evaporation rate is constant on the textured wall after laser surface treatment. The minimum corrosive current corresponds to a hydrophobic textured surface. Laser texturing on the surface of the aluminum alloy helps resist corrosion. This textured alloy can be effectively used in the power industry when exposed to high-temperature corrosive environments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
