Electrochemical behavior and surface chemistry of non‐equilibrium aluminum–tantalum alloys: Solute‐rich interphase mechanisms

Abstract: The electrochemical behavior and surface chemistry of sputter-deposited non-equilibrium stainless AI-Ta alloys have been investigated. These alloys exhibit enhanced passivity over a pH range of 2-12 even though the passive film chemistry varies considerably over this range. This enhanced passivity can be explained by the solute-rich interphase mechanism (SRIM), which states that formation and passivation of occluded cells are controlled by localized concentrations of solute. The higher concentrations of solute… Show more

“…[40][41][42][43][44] A few atomic percent of metal solute (e.g., Cr, Ta, Nb, W, Mo, Ti) will increase E P by around 200 mV, and increases of over 1 V are possible with higher amounts of alloying. Explanations for the improvement in pitting resistance conferred on Al by this nonequilibrium alloying have been offered based on influences on the composition and protectiveness or pH of zero charge of the passive film, 47 the solubility of dissolved species in the pit solution, 48 enrichment of the solute species at the active surface in a pit, 49 and decreases in the pit dissolution kinetics. 50 More on this is given below.…”

“…The corrosion resistance of the ball-milled Al alloys was high despite a nonuniform microstructure. The improved corrosion resistance of these Al alloys was hypothesized due to one or more of the following mechanisms, which are proposed based on the literature on the sputter-deposited Al alloys, ball-milled alloys Al, and stainless steels 4,[12][13][14] .…”
