h i g h l i g h t s Two artificial ageing processes well simulate outdoor patinas of as-cast bronze. Distribution of chemical elements are detailed according to exposure conditions.-Surface characterization with in situ FIB cross-section highlights decuprification phenomenon. Alpha (Cu) solid solution is anodic towards (alpha þ delta) eutectoid. Nano-porosities are evidenced within patinas according to corrosion process.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
