The measurement of the penetration time by detecting the resistance change in a piece of filter paper sandwiched between the back of the foil sample and a copper foil, which was conventionally applied in thin foil penetration experiments, was modified. This preliminary study aims to validate the optical detection of the leakage of the electrolyte on the opposite side of very thin foils of AA2024 (30 μm in thickness) due to the full penetration of intergranular corrosion. Evaluation of the potential of this approach was tested during intergranular corrosion potentiostatic tests in a 0.1M NaCl chloride solution.
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.
