Abstract:Electrochemical and surface analysis methods were used to investigate the pitting susceptibility and propagation of as-received and dry-wet cycle exposed 5083 aluminum alloy (AA5083) specimens. We find that dry-wet cycle exposure can reduce the corrosion potential, while increasing the corrosion current density, pitting potential (E p ), and passivation range. The pitting corrosion behavior during the dry-wet cycle process depends on the exposure temperature and time. Increased exposure temperature and time re… Show more
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.
