Abstract
ABSTRACT The localised corrosion of aluminium alloy (AA) 5083-H111 in 3.5 wt-% NaCl solution was studied by combing scanning electron microscope (SEM), focused ion beam (FIB) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques. It was found that the Ti-rich intermetallic particles (IMPs) served as the cathodes and triggered the dissolution of its adjacent Al matrix; as a result, a trench was formed between the IMP and its surrounding Al matrix. Raised ‘circles’ were identified on the alloy surface at the periphery of the IMPs, which was considered to be the cathodic region on which corrosion products deposited. A sub-surface that consisted of fine Al grains and corroded Al–Mg phases were observed under the raised ‘circle’ region.
期刊介绍:
Corrosion Engineering, Science and Technology provides broad international coverage of research and practice in corrosion processes and corrosion control. Peer-reviewed contributions address all aspects of corrosion engineering and corrosion science; there is strong emphasis on effective design and materials selection to combat corrosion and the journal carries failure case studies to further knowledge in these areas.
