(2020) Corrosion of cast aluminum alloys: a review. Metals, 10(10), 1-30. https://doi.org/10.3390/met10101384.2075-470110.3390/met10101384https://academica-e.unavarra.es/handle/2454/53104Research on corrosion resistance of cast aluminum alloys is reviewed in this article. The effect of the main microstructural features of cast aluminum alloys such as secondary dendrite arm spacing (SDAS), eutectic silicon morphology, grain size, macrosegregation, microsegregation, and intermetallic compounds is discussed. Moreover, the corrosion resistance of cast aluminum alloys obtained by modern manufacturing processes such as semi-solid and additive manufacturing are analyzed. Finally, the protective effects provided by different coatings on the aluminum cast alloys—such as anodized, plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO), and laser—is reviewed. Some conclusions and future guidelines for future works are proposed.application/pdfeng© 2020 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland.
