The effects of Cl-,Cu2+ and Fe3+ ions and their combinations on the corrosion behaviour of aluminium alloy 6063 (AA6063)in ethylene glycol and water solutions at 50 ℃ were investigated by electrochemical and immersion methods.Cl-resulted in pitting corrosion of the alloy.In the Cl--free solutions,Fe3+ was prone to accelerate uniform corrosion,while Cu2+ tended to accelerate pitting corrosion.Severe pitting corrosion of AA6063 was observed in the cases of Cl-combined with Cu2+or Fe3+,especially in the case of Cl-combined with Cu2+ and Fe3+ ions.
