Influence of inter-operational storage on metallographic evaluation of intergranular corrosion

Abstract

This study investigates the effect of storage time and conditions on the changes in the morphology and depth of corrosion damage of 1163-T1 and 1441-RT1 aluminum alloy specimens during the interval between accelerated intergranular corrosion testing and metallographic section preparation. It has been determined that the mean corrosion depth increases significantly depending on storage time and conditions. Based on the experimental findings, conclusions are drawn and practical recommendations for conducting accelerated intergranular corrosion tests are provided.
