Rg. Buchheit, A COMPILATION OF CORROSION POTENTIALS REPORTED FOR INTERMETALLIC PHASES IN ALUMINUM-ALLOYS, Journal of the Electrochemical Society, 142(11), 1995, pp. 3994-3996
A compilation of corrosion potentials reported for Al-based intermetal
lic compounds is presented. The range of corrosion potentials for dilu
te aluminum binary alloys is also given. This compilation is intended
to serve as an aid in establishing galvanic relationships among discre
te microstructural elements in aluminum alloys. This compilation is ba
sed primarily on data reported in the corrosion literature with a focu
s on corrosion potentials for intermetallic compound particles found i
n commercial alloys.
