Abstract

Electrochemical noise generation during staining of 6061 aluminium alloy exposed to 60 to 100% RH at 323K has been measured. The noise power values (v)2 were obtained from the auto correlation of voltage time data. On exposure of aluminium alloy to 80 to 100% RH considerable staining have been observed. During staining the noise power values were found to increase from 10-6 (V)2 to 10-4 (V)2 and considerable weight gain was also observed. However on exposure of alluminium alloy to 60% RH no staining was observed and the noise power value remained around to 10 -8 (V)2. After passivation treatment of alluminium alloy in 50% HNO3 or with chromate treatment the noise power value remained at a low level of 10-8 (V)2 till the protective power of coating remained unaffected.
