Abstract [en]
Cr-free paints applied on different aluminum alloys were exposed for 5 years at different atmospheric weathering sites worldwide. By image analysis, the extent, and the type of corrosion (filiform or blistering) were determined after 1, 2, and 5 years. In that way, it was possible to rank the different systems as a function of their resistance to corrosion. The kinetics of degradation of each system at all sites was also determined. From the results, it is shown that the kinetics of degradation is system dependent. It is also shown that it is the combination of several climatic parameters which contributes to the corrosivity of the site and not only one single parameter such as chloride deposition, relative humidity, and so on.
