Effect of Post-Sintering Shot Peening Treatment on the Corrosion Behavior of Alumix 321 Powder Metallurgy Alloy in 3.5 wt.% NaCl Solution.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

Abstract
The growing emphasis on environmental sustainability and the need for advanced manufacturing methods have accelerated progress in material processing. Aluminum powder metallurgy (APM) is particularly promising due to aluminum's low density, high strength-to-weight ratio, and the inherent benefits of the powder metallurgy (PM) process. However, the corrosion resistance of sintered aluminum components remains a significant concern. In this study, shot peening (SP) was employed as a surface modification technique to improve the corrosion behavior of Alumix 321 PM alloy. Samples of the as-sintered and shot-peened Alumix 321 PM alloy, together with the wrought alloy counterpart AA6061, were characterized using non-contact optical profilometry, optical microscopy (OM), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Corrosion performance was evaluated in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution using Tafel extrapolation (TE), cyclic polarization (CP), stair step polarization (SSP), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results revealed that shot peening increased surface roughness and significantly reduced the corrosion rate from 0.079 mmpy to 0.004 mmpy for the unpeened and peened samples, respectively. While pitting was the dominant corrosion mechanism in the wrought alloy, the PM alloy exhibited a combination of pitting, crevice, and intergranular corrosion. These findings highlight the potential of SP in enhancing the durability of aluminum-based PM components, offering valuable insights for industrial applications.
