Corrosion behavior of Fe amorphous/Al-12Si piston composites with core-shell structure by Yingdong Wang, Zuxiang Lin, Chengzhou Liu, Deyong Zhao, Chunqiong Li, Yuan Wang

“…As the doping content of Fe amorphous particles increases from 2 to 10%, the polarization resistance increases, indicating improved corrosion resistance; the inductance increases, suggesting that corrosion primarily occurs at the surface; Y0 increases, and n decreases, indicating a reduction in the depth of the corrosion reaction, and the stability of the surface protective oxide film is improved. However, when the doping content of Fe amorphous particles reaches 20%, the opposite effect occurs, and the corrosion resistance of the FACS decreases. …”

Then the sorption process begins to proceed in a mixed diffusion mode, when it limits both the external diffusion factor and the internal diffusion factor (the diffusion of the sorbent to the active centers through the system of pores and capillaries). …”
