Determining the Corrosion Speed of Welded AA 5005 Alloy with AA5356 Filler Metals According to Weld Rate Using the MIG Welding Technique

CorrosionCorrosion is one of the most damaging and costly naturally occurring events seen today. There are several methodsMethod for predicting the corrosion rateCorrosion rate. In the present study, AA 5005AA 5005 cold-rolled sheet was used for welding application with AA5356AA5356 as filler materials using the MIGMIG welding process. Two different welding rates were applied for the weld joint of the cold-rolled AA 5005AA 5005 sheet. The TafelTafel extrapolationExtrapolation methodMethod and Nitric Acid Mass Lost Test (NAMLT) were used for the investigations of the corrosion ratesCorrosion rate. Analyses are done in Echem Analyst, and corrosionCorrosion products have been investigated via scanning electron microscope (SEM). At a higher welding rate, the result shows that corrosionCorrosion resistance is better than at a slower welding rate.
