The corrosion behaviour of Cu-Al-Ni alloy in 0.5 mol dm–3 H2SO4 solution was investigated by electrochemical methods including open circuit potential measurement, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements, linear and potentiodynamic polarization. Measurements were performed in 0.5 mol dm–3 H2SO4 at temperatures 20 and 40 °C. After polarization testing, corroded electrode surfaces were ultrasonically cleaned in deionized water and examined by light and scanning electron microscopy, while the elemental composition at individual points of the alloy surface was determined by EDS analysis. The results of the investigations revealed the occurrence of intergranular corrosion on the Cu-Al-Ni surface, which became more pronounced with increasing temperature.
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.
