Transport Processes and the Mechanism of Pitting of Metals
TL;DR: In this paper, a pit model was developed on the assumption that the metal ions hydrolyze inside the pits and that the corrosion products are transported by diffusion, and the main reason for passivity breakdown at the initial stages of pit growth was found to be the localized acidification due to metal ion hydrolysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanism of intergranular corrosion of Al-Cu alloys
TL;DR: In this paper, the anodic behavior of pure Al and some specially prepared Al-Cu alloys has been studied to check the mechanism of intergranular corrosion of aged Al-4%Cu.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pitting potential of high purity binary aluminium alloys—II. AlMg and AlZn alloys
TL;DR: In this article, the pitting potential of binary Al Cu, Al Zn, and Al Mg alloys, with a alloying content from 0 to 5%, were studied in 1.0 M NaCl solutions.

Journal ArticleDOI
Surface mobility mechanism of stress-corrosion cracking
TL;DR: The surface mobility stress-corrosion cracking mechanism is based on the assumption that environmentally induced crack propagation is due to the capture of vacancies by the stressed lattice, at the tip of the crack as discussed by the authors.
