The results demonstrate that the relationship between the corrosion induced mass-gain and the corrosion time is in accordance with the power rule. The mass-gain increases gradually during the corrosion time,while the corrosion rate decreases. With ongoing of the corrosion, corrosion products film changed from a porous to a compact structure. The various spectroscopic data show that the corrosion products films composed mainly of Al(OH)_3, Al_2O_3 and AlCl_3. The electrochemical corrosion behavior of the 2 A02 Al alloy was studied by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS).展开更多
