A composite coating containing konjac glucomannan (KGM) and CaCO was fabricated on AA5052 alloy through a self-curing process, and its surface morphology and component were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The effect of Ca(OH) content on the protective property of the composite coating for aluminum alloy in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution was evaluated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements. Moreover, the inhibitory performance of the coating on the pitting corrosion of metal was examined by potentiodynamic polarization curves and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The images of scanning electron microscope show the composite coating with a thickness of 50 μm has well-defined branch-shaped structure. The FT-IR spectra confirm the successful fabrication of the polymer coating through the formation of CaCO. The results of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy suggest that the resistance of the aluminum alloy sample coated with such protective layer is improved by six orders of magnitude, compared with the bare metal. After 60 d of immersion, the polarization curve data and AFM analysis show the pitting corrosion occurring on AA5052 surface is prevented due to the barrier property of coating.

A multilayer structure is a type of construction consisting of outer layers and a core, which is mainly characterized by high strength and specific stiffness, as well as the ability to dampen vibration and sound. This structure combines the high strength of traditional materials (mainly metals) and composites. Currently, sandwich structures in any configurations (types of core) are one of the main directions of technology development and research.

The 7000 series aluminum alloy represented by Al-Zn-Mg-Cu has good strength and toughness and is widely used in the aerospace field. However, its high Zn content results in poor corrosion resistance, limiting its application in other fields. In order to achieve the synergistic improvement of both strength and corrosion resistance, this study examines the response of strength, toughness and corrosion resistance of a high-strength aluminum alloy tail frame under aging conditions with external stresses of 135 MPa, 270 MPa and 450 MPa.

In this study, the melt pool formation behavior of high-speed laser-arc hybrid welding of aluminum plates was simulated using finite element analysis (FEA). To evaluate the heat input efficiencies of the laser and arc, standalone laser or arc welding experiments were conducted using the same arc or laser processing parameters as those employed in hybrid welding. These experiments were also simulated using FEA to calibrate the laser and arc heat adsorption parameters.

Titanium potassium oxalate had been mixed into the electrolyte to improve the anti-corrosion property of the micro arc oxidation coating on the surface of the aluminium alloy. The surface and cross-section of the coating at different titanium potassium oxalate concentrations had been observed by scanning electron microscopy, showing that when the titanium potassium oxalate concentration was 10 g/L, the coating compactness was better. Additionally, the element content of the coating had been studied by the energy dispersive spectrometer, and results proved that the coating consisted of Al, O, Ti, Si, and P.

Traditional aluminum-silicon alloy pistons are gradually replaced by steel pistons, which has become the trend of future diesel engine development. However, the efficient design and broad application of steel pistons are limited by the higher density of steel. For this reason, a new lightweight design method for steel pistons in diesel engines was proposed in this paper.
