Abstract
A high-throughput test has been developed for screening aqueous corrosion inhibitors on aluminium AA2024-T3. The method adapts basic microfluidic technology to create multiple channels in polydimethylsiloxane, which allow solutions to flow over the surface of the alloy, causing severe corrosion within hours if no inhibitor is present. In three-channel experiments under various channel conditions, corrosion rates were accelerated up to 15 times when compared to standard immersion tests. In addition, 10-channel experiments were conducted to simultaneously test 10 different inhibitors, and the results were compared visually and to actual corrosion results obtained quantitatively via solution analyses.
