Aluminum-magnesium alloys are specially used in high speed boats, submarines, desalination systems, etc. In this re-search the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy technique was utilized to study the flow accele-rated pitting corrosion behavior of this alloy in 3.5% NaCl solution. To do so, impedance spectra of the samples after 20h of exposure to the test solution at a rotation speeds were investigated. SEM (scanning electron microscopy) method was utilized to investigate the changes in the surface of the samples. Results indicated that under static and dynamic con-dition, the surface growth rate of the pits increases with time. Moreover, at -0.9 V upon altering the flow condition from static to dynamic, the surface growth rate of the pits and their surface fraction increases while the corrosion resistance of the passive layer is time dependent.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
