However, additional tests are required before the Sanchem can berecommnended as a reliable alternative to the Alodine coating.Is.

&lcedAssessment of Chromate and Non-Chromate Conversion Coatings for AlAlloys Using Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy By.El--------.Distribution IF. Chang, M. Levy, R. Huie,Army Materials Technology Laboratory,Watertown, MA 02172-0001IntroductionAvailability CodesAvail and (orSpecialDist/Environmental restrictions are demanding changes in common coatings such as chromium (Cr') and cadmium as well as processing technologiesincluding electroplating and immersion treatments that produce high levels ofhazardous materials at Army Depots. Concomitantly there is a dramaticincrease in cost and logistical problems associated with safe waste disposal.As a consequence new alternative environmentally acceptable solutions mustbe found.Chromium and its salts that are used in the processing of conversioncoatings for Al alloys are on the Environmental Protection Agency's list of 17materials that the Government and industry are trying to reduce by 50% by1995. This paper evaluates whether a non-chromate conversion coating for Alalloys could be a suitable replacement for the currently used Alodine chromate conversion coating without compromising corrosion resistance. Specifically, Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (AC Impedance) and saltspray testing have been employed to compare the corrosion behavior of thenon-chromate conversion coating against the Alodine treatment in combination with selected primers and a topcoat.ExperimentalCoated test panels, 7.62 cm x 12.7 cm x 0.1 cm, were supplied by theNaval Air Warfare Center (NAWC), Warminster, PA, as shown in Table 1.Before AC Impedance testing each treated panel was removed from adesiccator and examined visually for the presence of defects. Each panel waspositioned in the test cell shown in Figure 1 without any water rinsing orsolvent cleaning. AC impedance was performed with a PAR 378 Electrochemical Impedance System consisting of a 5208 two-phase lock-in analyzer,a model 273 potentiostat/galvanostat, and a IBM PC XT computer and printer.Periodic measurements were made from the sample exposed to 0.5N NaCIsolution at the corrosion potential (stabilized within 1 hour) over the frequency (f) range 5 mHz to 100 KHz during a 300 day period at room tempera181

ture. The single sine technique with an input sinusoidal voltage of 5 mV wasused in the frequency range 100 KHz - 5 Hz. In the frequency range 10-0.005Hz, the multisine technique was used with an input sinusoidal voltage of 10mV. The data collected were plotted and evaluated in both Bode and Nyquistformats. Impedance values were extrapolated from the linear region of theBode plot at low frequency to 1 mHz at the log IzI axis and plotted as a function of exposure time. Mansfeld and Kendig (1) have used similar experimental data for determining corrosion resistance of anodized Al alloys. Leidheiser(2) has reported that coating system impedance measured by AC impedancetechniques degraded with time: at a lower limit of about 106 ohms cm2 corrosion was found to occur underneath the coating. Salt spray testing by theNAWC was performed in accordance with ASTM B 117, using a 5% NaCIsolution at 950F.ResultsPre-Treatment Only TestsFigure 2 contains plots of impedance (derived from Bode plots, log Izivs. log f) as a function of exposure time for Al 2024-T3 samples treated withan aqueous solution of chemicals conforming to MIL-C-81706 (standardAlodine chromate conversion coating) and with the Sanchem Boehmiteprocess (non-chromate conversion coating, processing steps shown in Figure3). The Sanchem treated sample characteristically exhibits an order of magnitude higher impedance than the standard Alkdine treated alloy (10' vs. I0Yohms cm 2 ). Also, the Sanchem treated material showed no evidence of degradation (decrease in impedance) over a 200 day period of exposure to the 0.5NNaCl solution. After 75 days of exposure the Alodine treated alloy showed adecreasing trend in impedance, thus increasing the difference in impedancebetween the two conversion coatings, indicating a reduction in its corrosionresistance. Figure 4 contains SEM photomacrographs showing the Sanchemand Alodine treated Al 2024 alloys before and after completion of the impedance test. The Sanchem treated alloy remained unaffected after the 200 hourexposure to 0.5N NaCI solution while the Alodine treated alloy(1) F. Mansfeld and M.W. Kendig, Impedance Spectroscopy as QualityControl and Corrosion Test for Anodized Al Alloys, CORROSION, 41, (8),490 (1985).(2) H. Leidheiser, Jr., Review of Electrochemical and Electrical MeasurementMethods for Predicting Corrosion at the Metal-Organic Coating Interface,CORROSION, 38, (7), 374 (1982).182

showed the presence of pits and corrosion products. These observations are inaccord with the impedance data. Nevertheless both treatments passed the 336hour salt spray test (Table 1).Plots of impedance as a function of exposure time for both treatmentson the Al 7075-T6 alloy are shown in Figure 5. Impedance values for theintervals up to 40 hours of exposure time are fairly constant for both meatments, although the Alodine treatment exhibits somewhat higher values. Forboth treatments, as exposure time increased to 200 hours impedance valuesgenerally decreased but the Sanchem processed alloy displayed the lowerimpedance. The impedance data are in good agreement with thephotomacrographs shown in Figure 6; the Alodine treatment provided bettercorrosion reb-istance than the Sanchem treated alloy. But both treatmentsprovided the Al 7075-T6 alloy with 336 hours of acceptable salt spray resistance (Table 1).The Alodine and Sanchem conversion coatings were analyzed by anESCA/Auger and Scanning Auger Microprobe (SAM) before and after theimpedance tests. The results of Auger analyses are contained in Figures 7 and8. The Auger spectra for the Alodine treated Al 2024-T3 and Al 7075-T6alloys (Figure 7 a -d) show that the conversion coating (thickness - 2000A*)contains chromate as the major constituent both before and after the test.Aluminum is neither present as a constituent of the coating nor exposed as thesubstrate. These data are in good agreement with the other reported test data.Comparable spectra for the Sanchem treated alloys (Figure 8 a - d) indicatesthe conversion coating (4000A" thick) contains an oxide of aluminum as themajor constituent. This coating remains essentially intact after 200 hours ofexposure to the 0.5N NaCI solution. These data also appear to be in accordwith the other test data.Pre-Treatment plus MIL-P-23377 Epoxy Polyamide Primer TestsThe effect of the epoxy polyamide primer (MIL-P-23377) on theimpedance of Al 2024-T3 which was pretreated with either the Alodine orSanchem process is shown in Figure 9. The impedance values are in therange 106 to 107 ohms cm 2 . This primer significantly improves the performance of the Alodine treated alloy; impedance increased from 105 to 107 forthe first 65 days of exposure. Beyond 65 days the impedance drops to 106ohms which is comparable to the impedance of the Sanchem plus primersystem. The epoxy primer had little effect on the performance of the Sanchemtreated alloy; the impedance which was constant throughout the 200 days ofthe test remained at 106 ohms cm 2 , which was surprisingly equivalent to the183

bare pretreatment values after exposure. Post test visual examination showedno evidence of corrosion for either protective scheme. However microscopicexamination of the Alodine plus primer system revealed a small blister whichappeared unbroken (Figure 10a). This defect however did not appear to affectthe impedance. At times, impedance plots may be insensitive to certain paintcoating failures such as the formation of non-perforated blisters. If the blisterhad been perforated the impedance would fall (3). Microscopic examinationof the Sanchem plus primer system showed no evidence of corrosion (Figure10b).Impedance vs. time plots for the Al 7075-T6 alloy treated with eitherthe Alodine or Sanchem process in combination with the MIL-P-23377 primerare contained in Figure 11. Impedance values for both systems were higherthan the bare pretreated samples and remained quite stable during the entiretest; the Alodine treated scheme impedance was 107 ohms cm 2, the Sanchemprocessed scheme was 106 ohms cm 2 . Post-test microscopic examination(Figures 12a b) showed the presence of small unperforated blisters in bothprotective schemes but they were undetected by the impedance plot.Both alloys treated with Alodine-P-23377 primer scheme passed the336 hour salt spray test and the Sanchem/MIL-P-23377 primer processedalloys completed 1000 hours of salt spray without failure.Pre-Treatments Plus MIL-P-85582 Waterborne Epoxy Primer TestsFigure 13 compares impedance vs. time plots for Al 2024-T3 given theAlodine and Sanchem pretreatments plus an overcoat of the waterborne epoxyprimer. Impedance values are in the same range (106-107 ohms cm 2 ) asreported above for the MIL-P-23377 epoxy polyamide primer. The plot forthe Alodine treated systems shows that impedance fluctuated with time butremained above 106 ohms cm 2. The Sanchem pretreatment exhibited relatively stable behavior during the course of the exposure (106 ohms cm 2 ). Posttest microscopic examination showed the presence of several non-perforatedblisters on the Alodine/primer scheme and a single non-perforated blister wasobserved on the Sanchem/primer scheme (Figure 14 a b). Again, theseblisters passed unnoticed in the impedance plot.(3) S. Feliu, J.C. Galvan and M. Marcillo, "The Charge Transfers Reaction inNyquist Diagrams of Painted Steel", Proceedings of the Symposium onAdvances in Corrosion Protection by Organic Coatings, Volume 89-13,p. 281, Electrochemical Society, 1989.184

Impedance vs. time plots for these protective schemes applied to theAl 7075-T6 alloy are contained in Figure 15. The very erratic impedancebehavior of the Sanchen/MIL-C-85582 primer treated alloy (impedancebelow 105 ohms cm 2 after 200 hours of exposure) is reflected in thephotomacrograph of Figure 16a which shows the presence of numerousblisters, both perforated and unperforated. The Alodine/primer treated alloydisplays some fluctuation in impedance but generally remains in the range of106 to 107 ohms cm 2 . A single unperforated blister is revealed in the post testmicroscopic examination (Figure 16b). Nevertheless these protective schemespassed the 336 hour salt spray test.Pre-Treatments Plus Primer Plus Topcoat TestsImpedance values for this series of protective schemes (Figure 17)were higher than our other samples (107 - 109 ohms cm 2 ). These higherimpedance values are characteristic of low conductivity, good barrier typecoatings. Differences between the Alodine and-Sanchem pretreatments areminimal, particularly in the case of the Al 7075-T6 alloy where the impedance is 109 ohms cm 2 in the time intervals between 200 and 320 days. Microscopic examination supports the impedance data although some staining wasobserved only on the Sanchem treated alloys (Figure 18 a b).Conclusions1.The good agreement between the impedance data, microscopic observations, and salt spray results suggests that the experimental impedance valuesprovide a reliable estimate of the film integrity and corrosion protectivecapability of the coatings/substrates studied. However, at times, impedancevalues appeared to be insensitive to the formation of non-perforated paintblisters; in the case where the ionic resistance of the paint film is much greaterthan the metal transfer resistance.2.The non-chromate conversion coating generally compared favorablywith the standard chromate conversion coating; used singly'or in combinationwith a primer and topcoat. Additional testing is required before we canrecommend this environmentally acceptable conversion coating as a reliablealterna:ive to the currently used chromate conversion coating.3.The higher impedance values attributed to the application of thetopcoat to both alloys which were treated with either the non-chromate or185

chromate conversion coating and the MIL-P-23377 epoxy polyamide primerare characteristic of low conductivity, good barrier type coatings.AcknowledgementThe authors gratefully acknowledge the assistance of Steve Spadafora,NAWC, in providing the coated test panels and salt spray data.186
