Abstract
The cellular automata (CA) methodology is applied to the case of intergranular corrosion. Appropriate CA rules are generated which can reproduce and predict the advance of a corrosion front. The proposed model shows qualitative and quantitative agreement with experimental intergranular corrosion data obtained from an aluminium AA2024 alloy in chloride solutions.
► Cellular automata allows new approach to simulating intergranular corrosion. ► Intergranular corrosion of ‘real’ microstructures is simulated in 3D. ► Diffusion processes are modelled using a random walk process. ► Differential evolution algorithm is used to calibrate the adjustable parameters. ► Cellular automata may be further modified to include additional physical phenomena.
