Abstract:

The work investigates the use of cathodic protection -based strategies (e.g. sacrificial anodes) with the aim of extending the corrosion resistance of Aluminum components to be used in disc brake systems. Lab-scale electrochemical measurements, including voltammetry and zero resistance ammetry (ZRA), are used to: a) define the requirements of a cathodic protection system for a 42200 Aluminum alloy; b) evaluate the protection capability of a Zn-based sacrificial anode; and c) demonstrate an extended corrosion resistance of the protected part even in the presence of a galvanic coupling, with respect to the unprotected condition.
