Abstract:Porous Ti3(Si,Al)C2 intermetallic compounds was fabricated by the powder metallurgy method using Ti, Si, Al and graphite powders as raw materials. It was a potential material with premium structure and properties. In this paper, corrosion kinetic curves, change of pore structure, surface morphology and Tafel polarization curves were measured in HCl solution (a%=0.001, 0.01, 0.1 and 1 mol/L at 20 ℃) to assess the corrosion resistance properties of porous Ti3(Si,Al)C2 intermetallic compounds compared with porous Ti. The results show that the corrosion behavior of Ti3(Si,Al)C2 obeys the rule of parabolic, and the lowest mass loss of porous Ti3(Si,Al)C2 is in HCL solution of 0.001 mol/L, about 29% of that of porous Ti. Porous configuration of Ti3(Si,Al)C2 is stable in acid environment. The change of maximum pore size and permeability of Ti3(Si,Al)C2 are 1.06%, 9.4% respectively in HCL solution of 0.001 mol/L, and keep stable with the increase of acidity. The results of polarization curves of Ti3(Si,Al)C2 show that the free corrosion potential declines and the corrosion current density increases with the increase of acidity. The best result of free corrosion potential and corrosion current density of porous Ti3(Si,Al)C2 are 161 mV and 7.802×10-4 mA·cm-2 respectively in HCL solution of 0.01 mol/L. Porous Ti3(Si,Al)C2 exhibits excellent hydrochloric acid corrosion resistively.
