Corrosion of Aircraft Materials: Correlation Between Nanometer Scale and Macroscopic Structural Damage Parameters

Abstract

The following work has been carried out during the reporting period: (1) imaging of pitting corrosion initiation in aluminum at the nanometer scale, (2) study of the effects of main atmospheric pollutants on the initiation of the corrosion process; (3) identification of surface regions at an aluminum sample where corrosion is most likely to occur; (4) measurements of the electrochemical impedance spectra on Al sample before and during the pitting process in NaCl; (5) identification of the impedance parameters characteristic for the pitting the corrosion of the aluminum sample.
