Electrochemical approaches are used to investigate the exfoliation corrosion (EFC) of a 7XXX series aluminium alloy that has undergone different tempering treatments. EFC was produced under an artificial crevice at open circuit potential in neutral chloride solutions, and is found to be associated to current and potential transients. EFC was also produced under galvanostatic control conditions. Observations made through Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) suggest that these transients result from the progression of inter-granular cracks. Last, over-ageing heat treatments that are known to decrease both metal hardness and EFC sensitivity were found to decrease the number of transients.
Research highlights
► Development of new aluminium alloys for aircraft industries.
► Impact of chemical composition change during tempering on exfoliation corrosion.
► Role of hydrogen in the exfoliation corrosion of aluminium-based alloys.
► Mechanical effects and hydrogen bubbling during exfoliation corrosion.
