A REVIEW OF INVESTIGATION ON PITYING CORROSION OF ALUMINUM ALLOY
Al合金点腐蚀及研究方法

Pitting corrosion of aluminum alloy is a complex but important problem.This paper provides a review of the recent investigation of pitting corrosion of aluminum alloy.Characteristic potentials,mechanisms of the pitting initiation,protective mechanisms of inhibitors are included in this paper.In addition,some in situ imaging electrochemical techniques are discussed.These in situ methods include electrochemical scanning tunneling microscopy (ECSTM),atomic force microscopy (AFM),scanning Kelvin probe force microscopy (SKPFM),scanning microelectrode technique (SMET) and some other techniques.
