I started my PhD at RMIT University in March 2019. My project is focused on corrosion inhibition of aluminium 6000 series alloys by organic inhibitors. This project will investigate the corrosion inhibition mechanism of organic inhibitors and the long-term durability of the inhibitor film.
Presently, I am working on long-term stability of a single organic inhibitor film over some of the aluminium 6000 alloy series via electrochemical analysis techniques. I will investigate the film-forming behaviour of different organic inhibitors by surface analytical techniques to reveal the exact mechanism of absorption. The outcome of my project will resolve some of the existing knowledge gaps regarding inhibitor film adsorption of onto aluminium 6000 series alloys and its durability in saline solution. The influence of alloy microstructure on inhibitor film formation is another critical aspect. The overall knowledge gained will be useful in promoting the aluminium 6000 alloy series as a more corrosion-resistant material to the construction and automobile industry.
