- Summary:
- Aluminium is widely used across various industries due to its lightweight properties, high strength-to-weight ratio, and cost-effectiveness. However, its susceptibility to corrosion, particularly in harsh environmental conditions, presents challenges to its long-term durability and performance. To mitigate these issues, nickel plating was applied as a protective measure, creating a barrier to minimize aluminium's direct exposure to corrosive environments and enhance its resistance to degradation. In this study, nickel-plated aluminium was subjected to controlled corrosion testing under simulated real-world conditions, including humidity, saline atmospheres. The primary objective was to evaluate the effectiveness and longevity of nickel plating as a corrosion prevention method. Periodic observations and measurements were conducted to monitor material changes, such as surface degradation, corrosion pattern and corrosion increasing rate. The findings highlight the critical role of plating type, deposition type and environmental conditions in determining the corrosion resistance of nickel-plated aluminium. Based on the study results, recommendations for improving corrosion resistance were proposed, such as optimizing the plating process and incorporating post-plating treatments like passivation or sealing. These insights contribute to advancing corrosion protection strategies, ensuring the sustainability and reliability of aluminium in exposed environments for usage in automotive field
