Abstract
The corrosion of aluminum alloy 2S (1200) grade in white mangrove wood ash solution was investigated at ambient temperature by weight loss a nd potential-time studies. Surface corrosion deposit composition analy zed with Scanning Electron Micrograph (SEM) equipped with (Energy Disp ersive Spectrophotometer) EDS and EECA instrumentations, revealed that the specimens were severely perforated at the edges by hydrogen and s urface covered with hard but brittle corrosion deposits.
