Corrosion Behaviour of 6061 Al-SiC Composites in KOH MediumEditor IJCATR
The present research work deals with the corrosion behaviour of 6061 Al-15% (vol) SiC(P) composites. The addition of the
reinforcement like SiC to Aluminium has been reported to decrease the corrosion resistance of the matrix due to several reasons, one
of them being galvanic action between the reinforcement and the matrix. In the present work, the corrosion behaviour of 6061 Al-15%
(vol) SiC(P) composites in KOH at different concentration (0.5M, 1M, 1.5M) and different temperature (300C, 350C, 400C, 450C, 500C)
was determined by Tafel extrapolation technique. The inhibition action of 8-Hydroxyquinoline on corrosion behaviour of 6061 Al-
15% (vol) SiC(P) composites in KOH at different concentration of inhibitor (200ppm, 400ppm); different concentration of medium
(0.5M, 1M,1.5M) and different temperature (300C, 350C, 400C, 450C, 500C) was investigated. The results indicate that corrosion rate
of Al-SiC composite in KOH increases as the concentration of medium increases and also as temperature of medium increases. The
results indicate that the inhibitor is moderately effective in inhibiting the corrosion of 6061 Al-15% (vol) SiC(P) composites. As the
inhibitor concentration increases, the corrosion rate decreases. The surface morphology of the metal surface was investigated using
scanning electron microscope (SEM). Activation energy was evaluated using Arrhenius equation, and enthalpy of activation and
entropy of activation values were calculated using transition state equation
The aim of this project was to investigate and evaluate corrosion using computer modelling for investigating causes of failure on specimen which had similar behavior to nature of failures, used in petroleum industry.

The problem was also modeled to study the effect of the flow in causing the corrosion, in the nipple-connecter reducer assembly which concludes that the main cause of this attack is the flow turbulence, shear stress and pressure.
In this work, effect of welding electrode, welding current and corrosion media on
corrosion behaviour of three kinds of stainless steel (AISI 304, AISI 316 and AISI 410)
was investigated. Welding was performed by manual metal arc welding process using
three types of welding electrode (E308L, E316L and E310). Corrosion behaviour of
the welded joints was examined in two chloride mediums (3.5%NaCl and 3.5%KCl).
The results showed that welding electrodes E316L and E310, which contain Mo and
Ni respectively, increase corrosion resistance in of the weldment. The increment in
heat input by increasing welding current caused reduction in corrosion resistance by
facilitating carbon diffusion and formation of chromium carbides in the weld area. It
was also found that corrosion rate of 3.5% NaCl was more aggressive than 3.5% KCl.

The main objective of this project is to be produce copper reinforced metal matrix composite (MMC) layers using micron sized AlN particles via friction stir processing (FSP) in order to enhance surface mechanical properties. Micro structural evaluation using Optical Microscopy (OM) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) indicated that an increase in traverse speed and a decrease in rotational speed cause a reduction in the grain size of different groove width (0,0.4,0.8,1.2 mm) of stir zone (SZ) for the specimens friction stir processed (FSPed) without AlN particles. It was found that upon addition of AlN particles, wear properties were improved. This behavior was further supported by SEM images of wear surfaces. Results demonstrated that the micro composite produced by FSP exhibited enhanced wear resistance and higher average friction coefficient in comparison with pure copper. Tensile properties and fracture characteristics of the specimens FSPed with and without AlN particles and pure copper were also evaluated. According to the results, the MMC layer produced by FSP showed higher strength and lower elongation than pure copper while a remarkable elongation was observed for FSPed specimen without AlN particles and been greatly developed by the use of AlN.

This Paper is based on an experiment carried out on different roofing sheets namely aluminum, galvanized steel, plastic and asbestos of various grades. The aluminum samples were obtained from two different companies in Nigeria namely First Aluminum and Tower Aluminum; the Asbestos was obtained from Emenite while the Steel and Plastic samples were bought from the market. The samples were cut into a particular size (8cm by 5cm) and immersed in various media namely acidic (H2SO4), alkaline (NaOH), Sea water and Rain water in 2litres plastic beakers. The Rain water was used as the control medium for the experiment. The experiment was carried out for 70days and each grade was cut into 14 pieces of the same dimension. The samples were washed, weighed and tagged before immersion in the media. Each sample was removed every 5 days, washed thoroughly, dried and re-weighed. Some of the samples corroded while some resisted corrosion. The differences in the weights of the samples, and hence their respective rates of corrosion were obtained depending on the reacting media. The values that were obtained, the weight loss and weight gain were used to determine the corrosion rates per unit area per unit time. Graphs of specific weight loss/gain against time were plotted for each medium and each sample. Based on our graphs and observations, we can say that the coated samples are more resistant to corrosion, and therefore more durable.

Polymers are presently broadly utilized as substitute material for steel gear in low
load devices. Its malfunction differs from gears made of steel, thus it is imperitive to sort
out the failures shown by polymer gears. Numerous earlier studies noted that wear
recognition, microstructure surface condition monitoring, weight loss and temperature
detection can be used in the analysis for the failure of polymer gear. The principle
objective of the current work is to conduct an analysis for failure detection methods as
defined above. Other researcher works were studied and their findings were extracted in
order to identify the methods they used. The most common method used was wear
detection and it was supplemented by other methods such as microstructure surface
condition monitoring. Failures shown by polymer can be concluded to be tooth breakage,
tooth deformation, material removal and surface fatigue.

Polymers are presently broadly utilized as substitute material for steel gear in low
load devices. Its malfunction differs from gears made of steel, thus it is imperitive to sort
out the failures shown by polymer gears. Numerous earlier studies noted that wear
recognition, microstructure surface condition monitoring, weight loss and temperature
detection can be used in the analysis for the failure of polymer gear. The principle
objective of the current work is to conduct an analysis for failure detection methods as
defined above. Other researcher works were studied and their findings were extracted in
order to identify the methods they used. The most common method used was wear
detection and it was supplemented by other methods such as microstructure surface
condition monitoring. Failures shown by polymer can be concluded to be tooth breakage,
tooth deformation, material removal and surface fatigue.

A Review on Studies of Mechanical Properties of Anodized Alumina OxideIRJET Journal
This document reviews research on anodized alumina oxide (AAO). AAO has many applications in electronics, energy storage, and other fields. The process of anodization electrochemically forms an oxide layer on aluminum with a hexagonal array of vertically aligned nanopores. Studies have measured the mechanical properties of AAO like hardness and fracture toughness using nanoindentation. The pore size and heat treatments affect these properties. For example, smaller pore sizes produce higher hardness. AAO also improves the wear resistance of aluminum. Hard anodizing forms a thicker, denser oxide layer with smaller pores, resulting in greater hardness and better friction and wear characteristics compared to untreated aluminum.

The main objective of this study is to analyze the impact of aspects of Organizational Culture on the Effectiveness of the Performance Management System (PMS) in the Health Care Organization at Thanjavur. Organizational Culture and PMS play a crucial role in present-day organizations in achieving their objectives. PMS needs employees’ cooperation to achieve its intended objectives. Employees' cooperation depends upon the organization’s culture. The present study uses exploratory research to examine the relationship between the Organization's culture and the Effectiveness of the Performance Management System. The study uses a Structured Questionnaire to collect the primary data. For this study, Thirty-six non-clinical employees were selected from twelve randomly selected Health Care organizations at Thanjavur. Thirty-two fully completed questionnaires were received.
Living in 21st century in itself reminds all of us the necessity of police and its administration. As more and more we are entering into the modern society and culture, the more we require the services of the so called ‘Khaki Worthy’ men i.e., the police personnel. Whether we talk of Indian police or the other nation’s police, they all have the same recognition as they have in India. But as already mentioned, their services and requirements are different after the like 26th November, 2008 incidents, where they without saving their own lives has sacrificed themselves without any hitch and without caring about their respective family members and wards. In other words, they are like our heroes and mentors who can guide us from the darkness of fear, militancy, corruption and other dark sides of life and so on. Now the question arises, if Gandhi would have been alive today, what would have been his reaction/opinion to the police and its functioning? Would he have some thing different in his mind now what he had been in his mind before the partition or would he be going to start some Satyagraha in the form of some improvement in the functioning of the police administration? Really these questions or rather night mares can come to any one’s mind, when there is too much confusion is prevailing in our minds, when there is too much corruption in the society and when the polices working is also in the questioning because of one or the other case throughout the India. It is matter of great concern that we have to thing over our administration and our practical approach because the police personals are also like us, they are part and parcel of our society and among one of us, so why we all are pin pointing towards them.
A STUDY ON TALENT MANAGEMENT AND ITS IMPACT ON EMPLOYEE RETENTION IN SELECTED...IAEME Publication
The goal of this study was to see how talent management affected employee retention in the selected IT organizations in Chennai. The fundamental issue was the difficulty to attract, hire, and retain talented personnel who perform well and the gap between supply and demand of talent acquisition and retaining them within the firms. The study's main goals were to determine the impact of talent management on employee retention in IT companies in Chennai, investigate talent management strategies that IT companies could use to improve talent acquisition, performance management, career planning and formulate retention strategies that the IT firms could use. The respondents were given a structured close-ended questionnaire with the 5 Point Likert Scale as part of the study's quantitative research design. The target population consisted of 289 IT professionals. The questionnaires were distributed and collected by the researcher directly. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) was used to collect and analyse the questionnaire responses. Hypotheses that were formulated for the various areas of the study were tested using a variety of statistical tests. The key findings of the study suggested that talent management had an impact on employee retention. The studies also found that there is a clear link between the implementation of talent management and retention measures. Management should provide enough training and development for employees, clarify job responsibilities, provide adequate remuneration packages, and recognise employees for exceptional performance.
ATTRITION IN THE IT INDUSTRY DURING COVID-19 PANDEMIC: LINKING EMOTIONAL INTE...IAEME Publication
Globally, Millions of dollars were spent by the organizations for employing skilled Information Technology (IT) professionals. It is costly to replace unskilled employees with IT professionals possessing technical skills and competencies that aid in interconnecting the business processes. The organization’s employment tactics were forced to alter by globalization along with technological innovations as they consistently diminish to remain lean, outsource to concentrate on core competencies along with restructuring/reallocate personnel to gather efficiency. As other jobs, organizations or professions have become reasonably more appropriate in a shifting employment landscape, the above alterations trigger both involuntary as well as voluntary turnover. The employee view on jobs is also afflicted by the COVID-19 pandemic along with the employee-driven labour market. So, having effective strategies is necessary to tackle the withdrawal rate of employees. By associating Emotional Intelligence (EI) along with Talent Management (TM) in the IT industry, the rise in attrition rate was analyzed in this study. Only 303 respondents were collected out of 350 participants to whom questionnaires were distributed. From the employees of IT organizations located in Bangalore (India), the data were congregated. A simple random sampling methodology was employed to congregate data as of the respondents. Generating the hypothesis along with testing is eventuated. The effect of EI and TM along with regression analysis between TM and EI was analyzed. The outcomes indicated that employee and Organizational Performance (OP) were elevated by effective EI along with TM.
INFLUENCE OF TALENT MANAGEMENT PRACTICES ON ORGANIZATIONAL PERFORMANCE A STUD...IAEME Publication
By implementing talent management strategy, organizations would have the option to retain their skilled professionals while additionally working on their overall performance. It is the course of appropriately utilizing the ideal individuals, setting them up for future top positions, exploring and dealing with their performance, and holding them back from leaving the organization. It is employee performance that determines the success of every organization. The firm quickly obtains an upper hand over its rivals in the event that its employees having particular skills that cannot be duplicated by the competitors. Thus, firms are centred on creating successful talent management practices and processes to deal with the unique human resources. Firms are additionally endeavouring to keep their top/key staff since on the off chance that they leave; the whole store of information leaves the firm's hands. The study's objective was to determine the impact of talent management on organizational performance among the selected IT organizations in Chennai. The study recommends that talent management limitedly affects performance. On the off chance that this talent is appropriately management and implemented properly, organizations might benefit as much as possible from their maintained assets to support development and productivity, both monetarily and non-monetarily.
A STUDY OF VARIOUS TYPES OF LOANS OF SELECTED PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SECTOR BANKS...IAEME Publication
Banking regulations act of India, 1949 defines banking as “acceptance of deposits for the purpose of lending or investment from the public, repayment on demand or otherwise and withdrawable through cheques, drafts order or otherwise”, the major participants of the Indian financial system are commercial banks, the financial institution encompassing term lending institutions. Investments institutions, specialized financial institution and the state level development banks, non banking financial companies (NBFC) and other market intermediaries such has the stock brokers and money lenders are among the oldest of the certain variants of NBFC and the oldest market participants. The asset quality of banks is one of the most important indicators of their financial health. The Indian banking sector has been facing severe problems of increasing Non- Performing Assets (NPAs). The NPAs growth directly and indirectly affects the quality of assets and profitability of banks. It also shows the efficiency of banks credit risk management and the recovery effectiveness. NPA do not generate any income, whereas, the bank is required to make provisions for such as assets that why is a double edge weapon. This paper outlines the concept of quality of bank loans of different types like Housing, Agriculture and MSME loans in state Haryana of selected public and private sector banks. This study is highlighting problems associated with the role of commercial bank in financing Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (SME). The overall objective of the research was to assess the effect of the financing provisions existing for the setting up and operations of MSMEs in the country and to generate recommendations for more robust financing mechanisms for successful operation of the MSMEs, in turn understanding the impact of MSME loans on financial institutions due to NPA. There are many research conducted on the topic of Non- Performing Assets (NPA) Management, concerning particular bank, comparative study of public and private banks etc. In this paper the researcher is considering the aggregate data of selected public sector and private sector banks and attempts to compare the NPA of Housing, Agriculture and MSME loans in state Haryana of public and private sector banks. The tools used in the study are average and Anova test and variance. The findings reveal that NPA is common problem for both public and private sector banks and is associated with all types of loans either that is housing loans, agriculture loans and loans to SMES. NPAs of both public and private sector banks show the increasing trend. In 2010-11 GNPA of public and private sector were at same level it was 2% but after 2010-11 it increased in many fold and at present there is GNPA in some more than 15%. It shows the dark area of Indian banking sector.

ROLE OF SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN RURAL DEVELOPMENT OF INDIA - PROBLEMS AND ...IAEME Publication
The majority of the population in India lives in villages. The village is the back bone of the country. Village or rural industries play an important role in the national economy, particularly in the rural development. Developing the rural economy is one of the key indicators towards a country’s success. Whether it be the need to look after the welfare of the farmers or invest in rural infrastructure, Governments have to ensure that rural development isn’t compromised. The economic development of our country largely depends on the progress of rural areas and the standard of living of rural masses. Village or rural industries play an important role in the national economy, particularly in the rural development. Rural entrepreneurship is based on stimulating local entrepreneurial talent and the subsequent growth of indigenous enterprises. It recognizes opportunity in the rural areas and accelerates a unique blend of resources either inside or outside of agriculture. Rural entrepreneurship brings an economic value to the rural sector by creating new methods of production, new markets, new products and generate employment opportunities thereby ensuring continuous rural development. Social Entrepreneurship has the direct and primary objective of serving the society along with the earning profits. So, social entrepreneurship is different from the economic entrepreneurship as its basic objective is not to earn profits but for providing innovative solutions to meet the society needs which are not taken care by majority of the entrepreneurs as they are in the business for profit making as a sole objective. So, the Social Entrepreneurs have the huge growth potential particularly in the developing countries like India where we have huge societal disparities in terms of the financial positions of the population. Still 22 percent of the Indian population is below the poverty line and also there is disparity among the rural & urban population in terms of families living under BPL. 25.7 percent of the rural population & 13.7 percent of the urban population is under BPL which clearly shows the disparity of the poor people in the rural and urban areas. The need to develop social entrepreneurship in agriculture is dictated by a large number of social problems. Such problems include low living standards, unemployment, and social tension. The reasons that led to the emergence of the practice of social entrepreneurship are the above factors. The research problem lays upon disclosing the importance of role of social entrepreneurship in rural development of India. The paper the tendencies of social entrepreneurship in India, to present successful examples of such business for providing recommendations how to improve situation in rural areas in terms of social entrepreneurship development. Indian government has made some steps towards development of social enterprises, social entrepreneurship, and social in- novation, but a lot remains to be improved.

Distribution system is a critical link between the electric power distributor and the consumers. Most of the distribution networks commonly used by the electric utility is the radial distribution network. However in this type of network, it has technical issues such as enormous power losses which affect the quality of the supply. Nowadays, the introduction of Distributed Generation (DG) units in the system help improve and support the voltage profile of the network as well as the performance of the system components through power loss mitigation. In this study network reconfiguration was done using two meta-heuristic algorithms Particle Swarm Optimization and Gravitational Search Algorithm (PSO-GSA) to enhance power quality and voltage profile in the system when simultaneously applied with the DG units. Backward/Forward Sweep Method was used in the load flow analysis and simulated using the MATLAB program. Five cases were considered in the Reconfiguration based on the contribution of DG units. The proposed method was tested using IEEE 33 bus system. Based on the results, there was a voltage profile improvement in the system from 0.9038 p.u. to 0.9594 p.u.. The integration of DG in the network also reduced power losses from 210.98 kW to 69.3963 kW. Simulated results are drawn to show the performance of each case.

Comparative analysis between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquapon...bijceesjournal
The aquaponic system of planting is a method that does not require soil usage. It is a method that only needs water, fish, lava rocks (a substitute for soil), and plants. Aquaponic systems are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Its use not only helps to plant in small spaces but also helps reduce artificial chemical use and minimizes excess water use, as aquaponics consumes 90% less water than soil-based gardening. The study applied a descriptive and experimental design to assess and compare conventional and reconstructed aquaponic methods for reproducing tomatoes. The researchers created an observation checklist to determine the significant factors of the study. The study aims to determine the significant difference between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquaponics systems propagating tomatoes in terms of height, weight, girth, and number of fruits. The reconstructed aquaponics system’s higher growth yield results in a much more nourished crop than the traditional aquaponics system. It is superior in its number of fruits, height, weight, and girth measurement. Moreover, the reconstructed aquaponics system is proven to eliminate all the hindrances present in the traditional aquaponics system, which are overcrowding of fish, algae growth, pest problems, contaminated water, and dead fish.

This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.

Applications of artificial Intelligence in Mechanical Engineering.pdfAtif Razi
Historically, mechanical engineering has relied heavily on human expertise and empirical methods to solve complex problems. With the introduction of computer-aided design (CAD) and finite element analysis (FEA), the field took its first steps towards digitization. These tools allowed engineers to simulate and analyze mechanical systems with greater accuracy and efficiency. However, the sheer volume of data generated by modern engineering systems and the increasing complexity of these systems have necessitated more advanced analytical tools, paving the way for AI.
AI offers the capability to process vast amounts of data, identify patterns, and make predictions with a level of speed and accuracy unattainable by traditional methods. This has profound implications for mechanical engineering, enabling more efficient design processes, predictive maintenance strategies, and optimized manufacturing operations. AI-driven tools can learn from historical data, adapt to new information, and continuously improve their performance, making them invaluable in tackling the multifaceted challenges of modern mechanical engineering.

In the presence of chloride ions with a very deteriorating action, the protective
property of a passive/oxide film at the surface of specimens made of aluminum alloys
is drastically reduced, which results in big corrosion damages of small surface pits.
This type of corrosion is referred to as pitting corrosion [Ezuber, 2007].
To reduce surface damage on the parts exposed to work under demanding
conditions, an adequate surface treatment and protection is essential. More recently,
there has been a growing interest in improving the corrosion performance of
aluminum alloys by laser techniques. The techniques principally involved are laser
surface melting (LSM), laser surface alloying (LSA) and laser surface cladding
(LSC).
However, one of the non-traditional surface engineering techniques, laser surface
melting (LSM), has attracted growing interest in recent years for its ability to improve
the corrosion performance of aluminum alloys.
LSM is a versatile and promising technique that can be used to modify the surface
properties of a material without affecting its bulk properties [Polmear, 1996]
[Kammer, 1999].
However, the outstanding features of the laser surface modification (LSM)
technique include the ability to promote better chemical and structural uniformity on
the surface of a bulk material to eliminate or minimize heterogeneities, and to
facilitate mixing and quenching within the melted layer that may create a super-
saturated solid solution in an otherwise immiscible solid. The creation of these types
of surfaces by rapid solidification is primarily dependent upon alloy composition,
structure and other properties.
Indeed, using LSM as a means for improving the corrosion resistance of metals
and alloys has been widely investigated for many years.
It has been demonstrated that this technique is effective in improving the surface
properties such as corrosion and erosion for many materials so an increase in the
corrosion resistance of Al- Si alloys after laser surface melting was observed by
Wong and co-workers [Wong & Liang, 1997]. They proved that the pitting corrosion
of the laser-surface- melted Al alloys is improved.
[Chong et al., 2003] studied the corrosion behavior of Al-2014 alloy after laser
surface melting. Laser surface melting was carried out using a 3 kW CW Nd: YAG
laser. After the corrosion tests, they found a large number of pits, randomly
distributed on the surface of as-received Al2014 alloy before LSM.
After LSM, pits formed on the laser-melted surfaces are shallower than that in the
as- received alloy.
[Paul,2003] studied the polarization behavior of Al-Si alloy in 10 wt% HCl ,5
wt% NaCl solutions, they showed that the improvement in the corrosion and wear
resistance using laser surface melting (LSM) is significant potential for improving
surface properties.
[Chan et al, 2004] studied the effect of the excimer laser surface melting on the
aluminum alloy 8090. The work has been conducted with the aim of improving the
intergranular corrosion resistance of the alloy. Both the results of the electrochemical
and the intergranular corrosion cracking immersion tests show that the laser treatment
significantly increases the intergranular corrosion resistance of the alloy.
[Yue et al.2006] his research on Nd-YAG laser surface treatment conducted on
7075 aluminum alloy with the aim of improving the stress corrosion cracking
resistance of the alloy. The results of the stress corrosion test show that untreated
3. The Effect of LSM Corrosion Protection on Al Alloys
http://www.iaeme.com/IJARET/index.asp 19 editor@iaeme.com
specimen had been severely attacked by corrosion, with intergranular cracks having
formed along the planar grain boundaries of the specimen. In contrast, only few short
stress corrosion cracks appeared in the treated specimen, indicating an improvement
in corrosion initiation resistance.
[Xu et al., 2006] dealt with Nd: YAG laser surface melting of aluminum alloy
6013 for improving pitting corrosion fatigue resistance in the presence of chloride-
containing media. They reported that the corrosion fatigue life of the laser-surface
melted Al 6013 alloy is two times longer than that of the as-received Al alloy. Also,
the corrosion current for the laser-surface melted Al 6013 alloy is considerably lower
than that for the as-received Al 6013 alloy.
Laser surface melting (LSM), using an excimer laser, has been employed to
modify the near-surface microstructure of AA2024 aluminum alloy by Y. Yuan et al
[Yuan, 2008]. They found that LSM significantly modifies corrosion attack of
AA2024 alloy therefore no intergranular corrosion was readily evident in the laser
melted layer, in contrast to severe pitting corrosion and intergranular corrosion
observed for the as-supplied alloy.
According to the study of [Ryan and Pragnell, 2008] using the technique of pulsed
laser surface melting (PLSM), they showed that the increase in the corrosion
performance of pulsed laser-treated alloys has been widely attributed to the formation
of a surface layer that is much more chemically homogenous than the bulk material. It
has generally been assumed that the laser treatment removes second phase particles
and partitionless re-solidification of the layer occurs.
[Trdan et al., 2009] investigate the corrosion behavior of the Al-Si-Mg-Mn laser-
shock-processed (LSP) aluminum alloy in 3.5% NaCl water solution. Surface
conditions after corrosion tests at different pulse density levels were evaluated. They
proved that the pitting potential - Epit increases with an increasing overlap-pulse
density level so the specimen treated with 900 pulses/cm2
showed an increase in the
pitting potential of +62 mV. The specimens treated with 2500 pulses/cm2
showed an
increase in the pitting potential of +120 mV compared to the same material in the as
delivered state.
[Coy et al., 2010] their research dealt with excimer laser surface melting (LSM) of
the die cast AZ91D magnesium alloy which was investigated in terms of
microstructure and corrosion behavior. Excimer LSM of the alloy resulted in a highly
homogeneous and refined melted microstructure, which improved the corrosion
resistance of the alloy.
[Pariona et al., 2012] reported a study of the laser treatment by irradiating Al–1.5
wt.%Fe alloy with Yb-fiber laser beam to investigate the corrosion behavior in an
aerated H2SO4 solution. They found that the Yb‐fiber laser beam modified the sample
surface microstructure, refined the grains, formed different intermetallic phases and
homogenized segregated elements. This treatment increased the corrosion resistance
by about 12 to 14 times when compared to the base alloy material.
[Ahmed, 2013] deals with the effect of some variables on corrosion of 2024
aluminum alloy protected by laser technology. The electrochemical behavior of Al
alloy in (NaCl) solution of different concentrations and temperatures was studied. He
found that no pitting corrosion was observed on the sample after laser surface
treatment and breaking potential was not reached till +400 mv.

specimens were placed at distance of 12 cm.
2.4. Corrosion test
In order to evaluate the electrochemical properties of various treated specimens,
potentiodynamic polarisation was performed in 1.5, 2.5 & 3.5%wt NaCl solution at 25
ºC, using M lab potentiostat / galvanostat and a conventional three-electrode cell
employing a graphite counter electrode and a saturated calomel reference electrode
(SCE). Polarization was carried out from (-2000 to +500) v with scan rate of 20
mv/min

Table (2) The variation of (Ecorr) for the aluminum alloys at different concentrations before
laser surface melting.
The effect of Cl-
concentration on corrosion potential at 25o
C is shown in Table
(2). The higher the Cl-
ions concentration results in the more negative direction of the
corrosion potential of aluminum alloys.
However, aggressiveness of chloride ionsis due to: their small size, high
diffusivity and strong anionic nature and very high solubility of chloride salt.
So, the increasing of NaCl concentration will increase the electrical conductivity
of the solution due to increase in the number of ions present [Lifka, 2005].
Table (3) the variation of (Epit) for the aluminum alloys at different concentrations before
laser surface melting.
Table (3) shows the great effect of Cl-
concentration on pitting corrosion potential
at 25o
C. It can be seen that the higher the Cl-
ions concentration, the more negative the
pitting potential (Epit) of aluminum, which indicates that the increase in Cl-
concentration leads to the decrease in the electrochemical stability of aluminum
because the Halides, particularly the chloride ion, are corrosive to aluminum.
However the breakdown potential (Epit) shifts to more negative values as Cl‾
concentration increases, this is because the breakdown of passivity is directly affected
by (Cl‾) at certain temperature. These results are in agreement with those of many
workers [Revie, 2008] [Subhasisa, 2012] [Szklarska, 1986].
Moreover increasing the (Cl‾) leads to increase the conductivity of the solution as
cited before and as a result the corrosion current density will increase also as shown in
table (4). This is in agreement with many workers [Malik, 1992] [Uhlig, 1984]. So it
can be seen that, for all samples studied, the value of the corrosion current density
obviously increases with increasing the concentration of NaCl from 1.5% to 3.5%.

From Figure (2) which represents the correlation between corrosion rate and NaCl
concentration for specimens; it is found that corrosion rate for the specimen 7075 is
larger than that of 6061 and 5083 aluminum alloys under the same conditions. So it
means that the specimens 6061 and 5083 have high resistance to this type of solution
that results from the presence of magnesium as alloying element which improves the

alloys will reduce the corrosion resistance of aluminum alloys [Hollingsworth and
Hunsicker 1992][Davis, 1999].

aluminum after LSM was lower than that before LSM.

Table (8) shows the great effect of laser surface melting on corrosion current
densities for different aluminum alloys. It is evident that the Nd: YAG laser surface
melting significantly reduced corrosion current density by as much as three times.
Such improvement of corrosion performance is considered to be associated with the
dissolution/removal of the large intermetallic particles, as a result of extreme high
cooling rates produced by Nd: YAG laser radiation which led to further shifts of the
corrosion current density toward lower values.
Therefore, the value of the corrosion rate of laser-treated alloy is smaller than that
of the untreated. This occurs due to the presence of an oxide layer and because of the
other phases produced by heat treatment with laser, turning this layer more resistant to
the corrosion when compared to the oxide film formed on the surface of the untreated
alloy during the interval of stabilization of the corrosion potential.

corrosion than that without (LSM).

These Figures show that after laser surface melting, no intermetallic particles were
evident, indicating a complete dissolution/removal of various intermetallic particles
within the melted surface.
The results of XRD in these figures show that the surface of aluminum alloys
becomes more homogenous and pure after treatment.

CONCLUSIONS
The results of the research performed yield the following conclusions:
Potentiodynamic polarization tests show that the pitting potentialof the treated
specimens shifts to more positive direction for all aluminum alloys in different
concentrations of the NaCl solution.
The potentiodynamic polarization results have shown that a result of
the laser-treatment, the corrosion current was reduced by three times.
As a consequence of this test the untreated sample is more susceptible
to corrosion, while the laser-treated specimen is less susceptible to
corrosion.
A homogenous microstructure was verified as a result of rapid solidification and the
results obtained in this study indicate a possibly more chemically stable phase, i.e.
improved passive/oxide film after LSM treatment, which could serve as an effective
barrier against corrosion attack in aggressive environments.
The tests reveal that the untreated surface suffers from severe corrosion attacks, while
the laser-treated surface is largely free from corrosion attacks. And Optical
Microscope Pictures after the electrochemical corrosion tests show most corrosion
damage in the untreated specimen whereas in the treated specimens the number of
pits is reduced.
Therefore, it can be concluded that LSM process indeed has an influence on surface
film modification, which results in higher corrosion resistance.
