Nanoscopic characterization of heterogeneous intermetallic particles (IMPs) which
microstructurally and compositionally evolve during local corrosion is crucial in unravelling …

Dealloying is involved in materials science responsible for fabrication of nanoscale
structures beneficially but for corrosion degradations detrimentally. Detailed understanding …

The intermetallic phases in AA7075-T6, including the nm-scale precipitate MgZnCu and 10-
μm size Mg 2 Si, S-phase, Al 7 Fe 2 Cu (Mn), and Al 15 (FeMn) 3 (SiCu) 2, were identified …

An Al 2024 (AA2024-T351) alloy having less Mg and a higher proportion of Cu to Mg (mass
ratio≈ 3.7) has been characterised to provide input data for microscale and macroscale …

Localized corrosion of aluminum alloys is a major issue worldwide and in spite of decades
of work, several questions still remain unresolved. In this study we focus on key issues in the …

A hyphenated optical-electrochemical technique and image analysis protocol is used to
quantify global and local (intermetallic) corrosion process and kinetics. Our findings reveal …

The role of constituent intermetallic particles in the pitting corrosion of aluminium (Al) alloys
is well recognised. A definitive quantification of the role of unique constituent particles has …

Intermetallic particle electrochemistry plays significant role in localized corrosion and stress-
corrosion cracking of aluminum alloys. This article presents specific examples from recent …

Aluminium alloys possess a unique combination of strength and low density, which
historically have made these alloys ideal for many structural applications. However, addition …

Rolled 3xxx series Al alloys, eg, EN AW-3003, are generally used as fin or tube material in
heat exchangers for automobiles. With reducing fin thickness, maintaining fin material …
