ANALISIS KOROSI AISI 1020 DAN ALUMINIUM 1050 PADA LINGKUNGAN AIR LINDI AKIBAT PENGARUH WAKTU
This research analyzes the corrosion of Low Carbon Steel AISI 1020 and Aluminum 1050 in a leachate environment with various soaking times. Corrosion is the process of damaging metal materials due to chemical or electrochemical reactions with the environment. In this research, low carbon steel and aluminum specimens were immersed in water contaminated with waste from the Sukawinatan landfill, Palembang. Soaking was carried out for 2, 4, 6, 14, 21, and 30 days to observe the rate of corrosion that occurred. The results showed that the chloride content and alkaline pH in leachate accelerated rust production on low carbon steel. In joint specimens with rivet joints, the worst corrosion occurs in the interface area due to galvanic and crevice corrosion. The longer the soaking time, the corrosion rate tends to increase, especially in specimens with rivet joints. This study used ASTM standards for testing and cleaning specimens. The cleaning method used is chemical cleaning according to ASTM G1-90 standards to ensure accurate results. The results of this research are important for understanding the corrosion behavior of different materials in aggressive environments, and can be a reference in selecting materials for applications that require corrosion resistance.
