Aluminium Alloy 6061 (AA6061) is widely recognized for its diverse range of properties and extensive array of applications. The present investigation delves deeply into the erosion-corrosion behaviour of AA6061 in marine environments, emphasizing its resistance to corrosion, mechanical attributes, benefits, and potential uses. AA6061 is well-known for its exceptional strength, excellent weldability, and impressive resistance to corrosion, characteristics that render it a crucial material in various industries such as aerospace, automotive, marine, and structural engineering. Nevertheless, its vulnerability to erosion-corrosion in marine settings presents significant challenges, necessitating a profound understanding of the mechanisms that lead to its degradation to facilitate effective material selection and performance assessment. Through an in-depth and systematic analysis, this study presents valuable insights into the corrosion mechanisms, factors influencing erosion-corrosion rates, and strategies for mitigating such degradation in the case of AA6061. By synthesizing existing knowledge and empirical data, this research makes a meaningful contribution to the ongoing efforts aimed at enhancing the durability and reliability of AA6061 in marine applications.
