Effect of Ionic Liquid Environment on the Corrosion Resistance of Al-Based Alloy

Electrodeposition of Al and its alloys from ionic liquids has been extensively investigated during the years and has received significant consideration as non-aqueous electrolytes for the electrodeposition. As environment-friendly solvents, ionic liquids have also good prospective to substitute the old-style risky solvents. In this paper, the results obtained after monitoring of some Al based materials involved in the deposition process and in a real contact with chloride and ionic liquid rich environment are presented and discussed.
