In this research, a vanadium based conversion coating on the aluminum ۲۰۲۴ alloy was applied. The effects of the most important process parameters such as pH (۳, ۳.۵, ۴, ۵, ۶, ۷), immersion time (۱۰, ۱۵, ۲۰, ۲۵, ۳۰ minutes), sodium vanadate concentration (۵, ۷/۵, ۱۰ gr/lit) and solution temperature (۱۵, ۲۵, ۳۵, ۴۵ ° C) on corrosion resistance and the morphology of the conversion coating were evaluated. Obtained results from DC (Direct polarization) and EIS (Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy) revealed that coated sample at the salt concentration of ۱۰ gr/lit, pH equal to ۴, room temperature and immersion time of ۲۵ minutes had the highest anti-corrosion performance. Corrosion current density and polarization resistance for untreated substrate are ۲.۲۸ μA/cm۲ and ۲۶ kohm.cm۲ respectively. These values for optimized vanadium conversion coating are ۰.۱۳ μA/cm۲ and ۱۴۷ kohm.cm۲. The results of scanning electron microscope showed the formation of uniform convergence of vanadium conversion coating on the aluminum ۲۰۲۴ alloy. Based on the results of energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy of coated sample at optimal conditions, vanadium conversion coating contains about ۳ wt. % of vanadium.
