Abstract

Tartaric-sulfuric acid anodic (TSA) films were prepared on the surface of the 2024 Al alloy. These films were sealed with cerium salts at 25 °C and 65 °C, hot water, and dichromate. The morphology and corrosion resistance of the anodic films were investigated using a field emission scanning electron microscope/energy-dispersive spectrometer, an electrochemical workstation, an acidic spot test, and an immersion test. The results indicated that the surface of the TSA film sealed with cerium salt at 65 °C had a slightly lower cerium content compared to the TSA film sealed at 25 °C. It was found that increasing the sealing temperature of cerium salt could enhance the corrosion resistance of the TSA film. After immersion in a 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution for 336 h, no obvious corrosion pits were observed on the surface of the TSA film sealed at 65 °C, whereas many larger corrosion pits appeared on the surface of the TSA film sealed at 25 °C. The improved corrosion resistance of the TSA film sealed at 65 °C could be attributed to the synergistic effect of cerium oxide deposition and the hydration reaction. The corrosion resistance of the TSA film sealed at 65 °C was significantly better than that of the film sealed with hot water, but it was still lower than that of the TSA film sealed with dichromate.
