Abstract

This study explores the combined influence of temperature and magnetic field on the corrosion behavior of AA6060 aluminum wire in seawater. By employing electrochemical techniques, including free corrosion tests conducted with and without a low-intensity magnetic field, the research aims to assess the impact of these factors on corrosion rates and mechanisms. Additionally, surface analysis techniques are utilized to characterize the corrosion products and examine the morphology of the corroded surfaces. The findings are expected to reveal that both temperature and magnetic field significantly affect the corrosion behavior of AA6060. While elevated temperatures generally accelerate corrosion by enhancing the kinetics of electrochemical reactions, the effect of the magnetic field varies depending on its orientation and strength, potentially either accelerating or mitigating the corrosion process.
