RT journal article T1 Behaviour of the alloy AA2017 in aqueous solutions of NaCl. Part I: Corrosion mechanisms A1 Bethencourt Núñez, Manuel A1 Botana Pedemonte, Francisco Javier A1 Cano, M.J. A1 Marcos Bárcena, Mariano A1 Sánchez Amaya, José María A1 González Rovira, Leandro A2 Ciencia de los Materiales e Ingeniería Metalúrgica y Química Inorgánica AB This paper reports a study carried out on the morphological characteristics the Al–Cu alloy AA2017-T3;its behaviour against corrosion in aqueous solutions of NaCl 0.59 M has been evaluated by immersionduring 0–48 h. The techniques employed for this study are SEM and EDS. The results obtained have beenverified by electrochemical assays based on monitoring the corrosion potential of the system in OCP, LPand EIS. The behaviour of the intermetallics present in the matrix of the alloy suggests that the design ofan effective system of protection should involve the use of cathodic inhibitors.
