Abstract
The scanning vibrating electrode technique (SVET) has been used to study the in-situ corrosion phenomena on AA2024T3 aluminum alloy. Three distinct sequential stages of corrosion attack, with time, on the alloy have been revealed (0-75, 75-180 min, and after 180 min). The increase and decrease in the intensity of the anodic activities at the surface of the alloy, which give a corresponding increase and decrease in the net current density values, with time, are responsible for the stepwise changes in the corrosion stages. The work also revealed mild etch-like attack regions on the surface of the alloy after the immersion test.
